| '''Chakroads''' are special portals located across the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]]. They are described by [[Chakron]] as "a conduit for energy waves that bond earth to space," and their name is a portmanteau of "{{wp|chakra}}" and "road." In Hinduism and Buddhism, the chakras, or energy centers, are special focal points located on the body, described as whorls of received and transmitted energies. Similarly, Chakroads are depicted as whorls of energy that form special "focal points" for [[Bowser]] to [[warp]] between different locations in the Mushroom Kingdom. | | The '''Chakroads''' are portals which Bowser uses to travel through in the game, [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]. Bowser first encounters a Chakroad in the [[Cavi Cape]] after hearing a strange voice, which explains that they can take him to places through his mind. Although Chakroads can take Bowser through many places throughout the overworld, they can only take him to places where he has been to and found the Chakroad in. Chakroads can be found under things such as rocks that Bowser can simply punch to break. It is later found out that Chakroads are owned by [[Chakron]]. |

| | Since the portals are always hidden under things that only Bowser can unveil, the Mario Bros. cannot use the portals. If the portals are not already unveiled, they cannot see them either. |
| Bowser first encounters a Chakroad in the [[Cavi Cape]] after being prompted to smash a rock by a mysterious voice telepathically connected to Bowser's mind. After Bowser uncovers the first Chakroad, the voice explains that these portals can be used by Bowser to travel to places he has already visited (and discovered the respective Chakroad for), doing so through the power of his mind and memory. Chakroads can be found under objects such as rocks, which can be destroyed with a punch, or trees, which can be burned away by fire. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] cannot uncover Chakroads, and if they pass by one that Bowser had already discovered, they cannot see or interact with it.

| It is later revealed the Chakroads are connected to the sage known as Chakron (who is also the one who speaks to Bowser), likely given his own connection to outer space after meditating on the stars for a thousand years. Chakron manually warps Mario, Luigi, and [[Starlow]] to [[Toad Town]] late in their adventure, presumably using a Chakroad or similar ability; however, it happens offscreen, so this cannot be confirmed.
