'''The Gauntlet''' is an area in the [[Challenge Node]] that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can access in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. The Gauntlet is where the plumbers face X bosses, harder versions of bosses they have battled before. In the remake ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', [[Super Bowser]]'s Giant Bosses can be refought here as well, where they are faster and more powerful, and no mushrooms will appear during the battles. The X bosses that can be fought in the Gauntlet are:

'''The Gauntlet''' is an area in the [[Challenge Node]] that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Nintendo 3DS version]]. It is where [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can face harder versions of seven bosses whom they have battled over the course of the game; the [[Emoglobin]] near the entrance explains that they mined the Bros.' memories to create stronger versions of bosses previously encountered. All of the boss rematches are denoted with the letter "X" (e.g. [[Durmite X]] for [[Durmite]]), and use faster and more powerful variants of attacks from their base movesets. A similar area called the [[Battle Ring]] appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''.


For Mario and Luigi's battles, there are seven classes, with each representing one of the seven bosses that the Bros. fought previously; each class is only available once Mario and Luigi have defeated the respective boss, and costs a certain amount of [[coin]]s to fight, with the Emoglobin also giving a recommended level for Mario and Luigi to reach before trying a given class. The prices for each class steadily rises as more are unlocked; clearing a given class allows Mario and Luigi to play it again for free whenever they want, and saves a record of the fewest amount of turns spent.
===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''===


After selecting a class, the Emoglobin menu offers an opportunity for Mario and Luigi to review the battle's rules and switch their [[badge]]s, even if the Bros. should enter this area before receiving them from [[Princess Lipid]]; switching badges will reset their in-battle meter. Upon starting the class, the Emoglobin either creates or transforms into the boss in question, and the battle begins. Each fight takes place in a boxing ring-like arena that can be seen in the background of the pre-battle menu. The battle must be cleared in a certain amount of the Bros.' turns, displayed both in the pre-battle menu and on the screen during battle; if this turn counter expires or both Mario and Luigi are KOed, they lose and are forced to try again. Defeating the boss rewards the Bros. with a coin payout equal to five times the starting price in the original; in the remake the payout is reduced to three times the price, but they are also rewarded with an additional item. A trophy of the boss is also displayed on the top screen in the class selection menu. The Giant bosses in the remake reward twice the amount of coins paid alongside gear for Bowser, and have no turn limits.

The seventh class is only unlocked when the other six are cleared, featuring a boss rush of all six previous classes and culminating with [[Bowser X]] as the seventh and final battle in the set. In the remake, defeating Bowser X also unlocks the songs "The Grand Finale", "Battle Time!" and "A Journey to Remember" in the [[List of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey music|music player]].
