A '''photographer''' on board the [[Koopa Cruiser]] is a [[Koopa Troop]] who offers to take [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s photos for their passport during their voyage to the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. The photographs are required in order to cross the [[Border Jump|border]] between it and the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].

==History==
===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
[[File:MLSS+BM photography.png|thumb|The Mario Bros. having their photograph taken in the 3DS remake]]
The photographer appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga]]'' and returns in its [[3DS]] [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]].

When [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are aboard the [[Koopa Cruiser]], two sections away from the first, a three [[Koopa Troopa|Koopas]] can be found lining up to have their pictures taken by a Koopa photographer. If initially spoken to, the photographer will tell the Mario Bros. that he’s busy and not to talk to him.<ref name="First"/> When the brothers walk past him, he asks if they have their passports ready. After looking inside their [[suitcase]] and noticing their lack of photos, he warns them that they won’t be able to cross the border without them. The photographer offers to take their pictures and tells them to stand on the mat.<ref>''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' “Snapping photos is easy!”</ref>

If the Mario Bros. choose to talk to him before standing on the mat, the photographer tells them that there’s no hurry.<ref>''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' “Step onto the mat once you're ready! No hurry!”</ref>  When the brothers stand on the mat, he tells them not to make any silly poses and snaps a picture for each of them. If spoken to after the photographs are taken, he tells the Mario Bros. that they have official documents and that they now will be able to enter the Beanbean Kingdom.

===''4koma Gag Battle: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''===
In the [[4koma Gag Battle]] manga, there are several panels set aboard the Koopa Cruiser featuring the photographer. He comments on the green Luigi is wearing before taking the photo. During the photoshoot, another Koopa asks for help catching a disobedient [[Goomba]]. The photographer snaps both brother's photos and hands them back their passports, much to their pleasure.

==Gameplay==
The photographer shows the Mario Bros. their passports and stats on them by the player using {{button|GBA|select}} to open their [[suitcase]]. Before taking the photo, the player can press any direction on {{button|GBA|pad}} to make Mario or Luigi select a pose for their photo.

This feature is also in the [[3DS]] [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]] with {{button|3DS|selectd}} to open the suitcase and {{button|3DS|pad}} to pose for photos.
