'''Miles Tones'''<ref>"''All the rumors around town suggest [[Princess Peach|a huuuuuuge VIP celebrity]] is coming from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. I'm gonna get photographic evidence and sell it for big bucks to the town story collector, Miles Tones! Great plan, huh?''" —[[Beanish]], ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''</ref> is a minor, supporting character who appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]]. Although he operates the [[Information Booth]] in [[Beanbean Castle Town]] in both versions, his role differs between the games. His name is a play on the word "milestones", alluding to his function in the latter installment.

In the original, his name is not specified, and his purpose is to sell information to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] for 100 [[coin]]s, normally indicating where to go or what to do next to complete the current objective of the main story. Near the end of the game, when Mario and Luigi are ready to travel to [[Bowser's Castle]], the Information Booth no longer has any information left to give.

In the remake, his name is revealed by another [[Beanish]] character at [[Beanbean Airport]], who plans to photograph [[Princess Peach]] upon her arrival from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and sell it to Miles Tones, whom he refers to as the town story collector. In this game, Miles Tones can be located in the same place, though he now rewards Mario and Luigi in exchange for information about their accomplishments thus far, viewing their Records in order to do so. Requirements include fighting a certain number of battles, defeating a certain number of enemies, performing a certain number of Excellent attacks, dodging a certain number of enemy attacks, and uncovering certain percentages of [[bean]]s and [[block]]s in the game, while rewards include items, recordings, and gear. Once all of these achievements have been completed and rewarded, Miles Tones reveals that he is leaving his shop and thanks the duo for the information they have shared with him. He declines to reveal where he plans to go, and is not seen again for the remainder of the game.
