| '''Stuffwell''' is a major supporting character in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. He is a living suitcase invented by [[Professor E. Gadd]] to aid [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] throughout their journey by storing their possessions, including their [[List of items|items]], [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|clothing]], [[List of badges in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|badges]], [[bean]]s, and collected [[Cobalt Star]] shards, fulfilling the role of the [[suitcase]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. His name is based on the words "stuff well", likely due to him being a suitcase. His catchphrase is "BACK TO ADVENTURE!"
| |
|
| |
|
| Stuffwell is able to assist the brothers throughout their adventure by storing their items and gear, as well as providing hints and basic tutorials, along with various other uses, such as using himself as protective padding and using his '''Warpulator''', a time travel device which can be activated by hitting a [[Save Album]] at three different points near the climax of the game when the player reaches a point of "no return": before and after the [[Shroob Mother Ship]] is taken down, and before the [[Shrowser]] battle. Whenever his Warpulator is activated, Stuffwell will send the brothers to a predestined point in time with all of their current items and possessions; specifically, before [[Princess Peach]] is found at [[Shroob Castle]].
| | '''Stuffwell''' is a talking suitcase, invented by [[Professor E. Gadd]], that aids [[Mario]], [[Baby Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Baby Luigi]] in their travels through time in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. |
|
| |
|
| Stuffwell has a noticeably extensive vocabulary, which he often uses in dialogue, along with many embellished technological terms such as "splendiferous" and "explanification."
| | He helps them by carrying their [[items]], [[Cobalt Star]]s, [[Badge]]s and [[Clothing]]. Stuffwell replaces [[Suitcase]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. |

| |
| ===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
| |
| | |
| Shortly after Mario and Luigi fall into the [[Time hole|time hole]] in the garden at [[Peach's Castle]], Stuffwell appears, having been sent by Professor E. Gadd to help them during their journey. After introducing himself to Mario and Luigi, and briefly explaining how he can be opened, he joins them on their adventure, shortly before the time hole disappears. While going through [[Hollijolli Village]], Stuffwell provides many basic tutorials which involve [[Jump|jumping]], attacking, avoiding enemy attacks, and using items.
| |
| | |
| When Mario and Luigi reach Hollijolli Village, they discover it to be under attack, and are themselves attacked by a group of [[Shroob]]s. They are later rescued by the babies and are taken aboard the [[Koopa Cruiser]]. However, after receiving a transmission from [[Princess Shroob]], they are shot down by a [[Shroob missile]], causing them to crash into [[Baby Bowser's Castle]] and become separated from the rest of the group, including [[Baby Bowser]], [[Baby Peach]], and [[Toadsworth the Younger]].
| |
| | |
| The adult bros. are able to find the babies in a nearby room, where they are on a high beam. They are able to convince Baby Luigi to come down by using Stuffwell as a protective cushion. Shortly after the brothers are reunited, Stuffwell teaches another tutorial explaining how to travel while piggybacking. It is here that Stuffwell provides many other tutorials, such as attacking and using [[Bros. Item|Bros. Items]] as a group of four, along with an optional tutorial regarding [[Simu-Block|Simu-Blocks]]. As they go farther into the castle, they find their first Cobalt Star shard, which Stuffwell decides to show to the professor. They proceed to do so, after locating both [[Toadsworth the Younger]] and a time hole in the last room of the castle.
| |
| | |
| Upon returning to the present, Stuffwell tells [[Professor E. Gadd]] what had happened in the past. Stuffwell then warns him that the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] of the past is in danger, and shows him the shard they had found at Baby Bowser's castle. Professor E. Gadd explains that it is a Cobalt Star shard, which was the fuel source for his [[Prof. E. Gadd's time machine|time machine]]. They then jump into another time hole opened by the shard to recover more Cobalt Star shards.
| |
| | |
| The time hole takes them to [[Toadwood Forest]], where [[Toadiko]] informs them of [[Princess Peach]]'s encounter with the Shroobs and their plan to use the vim from [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s as fuel for their [[Shroob saucer|saucer]]s. They then infiltrate the [[Vim Factory]] and defeat [[Swiggler]] to recover a second Cobalt Star shard, only to have both shards stolen immediately after by Baby Bowser and [[Kamek]]. Stuffwell then suggests that they return to their own time and plan a new strategy.
| |
| | |
| After returning to the present, Stuffwell informs Professor E. Gadd of what happened at the factory. The professor points them off to another time hole, where Baby Bowser might have escaped to. Upon arriving at [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], however, they are attacked by [[Yoob]], shortly after meeting the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and [[Kylie Koopa]]. They also have another run-in with Kamek, who is stealing [[Yoshi Cookie]]s for Baby Bowser. Shortly after, Stuffwell teaches them a move similar to [[Pump Mario]] which involves Baby Mario. They make it to the top of the mountain, where they defeat Kamek but are swallowed along with Baby Bowser by a massive Yoob.
| |
| | |
| Inside Yoob, they rescue the swallowed Yoshis, who are being trapped inside [[Egg (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|egg]]s. They also meet [[Toadbert]], who has lost his memory. He shows them a drawing depicting Peach's battle against Princess Shroob. After getting the shards back from Baby Bowser, he shows Professor E. Gadd the drawing.
| |
| | |
| Later, after the past E. Gadd's lab is destroyed by [[Thwomp Volcano]] erupting, the present E. Gadd sends the party a message through Stuffwell informing them of his new invention, the [[Hydrogush 4000]]. The machine sends water through the time hole, stopping the eruption and allowing for entrance into the volcano's interior. Once inside [[Thwomp Caverns]], Stuffwell teaches the bros. how to use [[Thwomp Elevator]]s, allowing them to reach and battle Bowser and Baby Bowser. Just as they finally catch up to Princess Peach, she is sucked up by the [[Shroob Mother Ship]], with the bros. quickly following.
| |
| | |
| Once inside the ship, Stuffwell notes that Peach is nowhere to be seen, and that she might have been taken elsewhere in the ship. However, it is revealed that "Peach" is actually Princess Shroob, and the party is ejected from the Mother Ship. Back on the ground, Stuffwell notes that his landing skills are improving before identifying their location as a ruined [[Toad Town]], suggesting the bros. ask for details at a nearby shop. Afterwards, Stuffwell notices that the collected three shards of the Cobalt Star are acting strangely. While he cannot figure out the meaning of the Cobalt Star's signals, he does determine them to be related to [[Star Hill]].
| |
| | |
| At Star Hill, the Cobalt Star's activity continues to increase, and Stuffwell warns that he will soon lose control over it. Once at the peak of Star Hill, the [[Elder Princess Shroob|Cobalt Star's spirit]] is able to speak with the party, informing them to collect the rest of the Cobalt Star shards. After the encounter, Stuffwell notices Baby Luigi crying, wondering if he felt something about the spirit the others did not. Once the fourth shard is collected at the [[Star Shrine]], the Cobalt Star attempts communication again, and Stuffwell translates its message to be a warning about a "strong power" ahead: the [[Elder Shrooboid]]. Defeating the boss grants the fifth Cobalt Star shard, enough for the heroes to enter [[Shroob Castle]].
| |
| | |
| The party returns to the present, where Stuffwell tells E. Gadd about the information given by the Cobalt Star's spirit. Back in the past, Stuffwell notices the Cobalt Star acting up again as it opens the gate to Shroob Castle. The party eventually ends up back in the Shroob Mother Ship, which begins moving on its own. Luigi suggests they try to control it to destroy the Shroob saucers blocking their path, impressing Stuffwell. By plugging himself into the ship's machinery, Stuffwell is able to learn the controls and guide the bros. through them.
| |
| | |
| On the third floor of Shroob Castle, the party finds what appears to be a security control room, containing a monitor displaying Princess Peach. Though Stuffwell believes Peach cannot see or hear them, Baby Mario's hammering proves otherwise, with Peach telling the bros. that she is at the top of the castle's statue before the monitors shut down. When the party reaches Peach trapped in a barrier, only for the Shroob Mother Ship to begin attacking them. With the advice of Peach and Stuffwell, the bros. are able to destroy the ship and battle Princess Shroob.
| |
| | |
| Following the [[Elder Princess Shroob]]'s defeat, Baby Luigi cries on the Shroob mushroom that was once Baby Bowser, restoring him to normal. Seeing this, Stuffwell informs the present-day E. Gadd that baby tears cure people turned into Shroob mushrooms, allowing the professor to use the Hydrogush 4000 to save everyone who was transformed.
