The '''Memory Banks''' are a location [[Bowser's Body|inside]] [[Bowser]]'s body. It is first seen in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. Here, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] go to check the safe number holding a [[Star Vaccine]] in [[Bowser's Castle]]. Mario, Luigi, and [[Starlow]] enter the final room, and see tons of shelves filled with books, and a creature typing on a computer. The creature scans Starlow and Mario, spins, and says "Virus alert!" three times, then changes into [[Bowser's Memory ML]]. After a long battle, the plumbers watch as the creature transforms into a fake [[Peach]] to talk to the brothers. Here they tell it that they need the lock combination to Bowser's safe. The two do a puzzle, and then leave.

The '''Memory Banks''' is a location in [[Bowser's body]], as seen in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]]. It is in [[Bowser]]'s brain and is responsible for storing all of Bowser's memories. The Memory Banks are personified as an organized computer database in the form of a library, with each memory stored as a separate file on shelves, analogous to memory stored on a computer's hard disk. It is maintained by a [[guardian]] who backs up and manages the memories and protects them from intruders.


When Bowser cannot recall the combination to a safe that contains a [[Star Cure]] in [[Bowser's Castle]], he tells [[Starlow]] to help him, although she refuses until he asks politely. When Starlow, [[Mario]], and [[Luigi]] go to the Memory Banks, they encounter the guardian, which scans them and deems them to be "viruses". It then splits into the [[Bowser Memory M and Bowser Memory L]], digital copies of the Mario Bros., and attacks.

After being defeated, the guardian decides to cooperate and briefly reforms based on [[Princess Peach]], claiming that the form is based on Bowser's most carefully preserved memory and is meant to aid in communicating with the Mario Bros. It states that the memory containing the combination to the safe was damaged, likely after Bowser was smashed against a boulder by the [[Fawful Express]]. Retrieving the scrambled memory from the archives (after finding a memory of steak and Peach), the brothers work to repair the memory and restore the combination by doing a jigsaw puzzle. The combination turns out to be 9898 88241 983. Bowser is then able to open the safe and grab the Star Cure.

==Prima Official Game Guide description==
*"''Bowser cannot remember the combination for the safe. It's hidden deep in his memories, probably somewhere behind the list of his favorite foods. So Mario and Luigi must duck into the Memory Banks and dig it up. Getting at the memory won't be easy, though, Bowser's brain has some defensive measures that repel intruders.''"

==Trivia==
*In the Japanese version of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the Memory Bank stores the safe combination, 9898 88241 983, using the {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} mnemonic 「クッパ クッパ やっぱり つよい クッパさま」 (''Bowser, Bowser, strong as expected, Bowser-sama''). This was roughly adapted in the Korean version [쿠파님 쿠파님 멋있고 힘센 우리 쿠파님!] (‘Bowser-nim, Bowser-nim, cool and strong, our Bowser-nim!’), with -nim being the Korean equivalent to the Japanese -sama suffix. In the English version, the accompanying text is changed to "''Doop-de-doo... Bowser-oo... Whoop-de-WOO!''" instead. In the German and French versions, meanwhile, Bowser uses a mnemonic that rhymes with the combination when said out loud.
