'''Beans''' are collectible items that have made an appearance in all [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'']] games to date. Their use varies between games, though they are usually used to increase the stats of characters, and are usually found in marked spots underground on the overworld. Additionally, the [[Beanish]] are a race of bean-like people that appear in almost every ''Mario & Luigi'' game.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', beans are plentiful in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], though collecting them is entirely optional. Only 99 beans of each type can be carried at once, and their only use is be taken to the [[Starbeans Cafe]], where they can be blended into stat-boosting Bean Juice for Mario and Luigi. There are four kinds of beans in the game; each are acquired in a different way and are used to make certain Bean Juices:

During the battle with [[Queen Bean]], she spits out a bean when both of her arms are degenerated, which needs to be jumped over. If Mario and Luigi stomp on the bean, it will spawn a Beanie.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Beans are dug up by [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] when they use the [[Drill Bros.|Baby Drill]] technique or can be won from the minigames in [[Thwomp Caverns]]. These can be traded to [[Fawful]] in his shop, [[Fawful's Bean 'n' Badge]], for [[Badge]]s. The Beans in this game bear a resemblance to Hee Beans, although they are never actually given any name other than "Bean".

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', beans are optional and can boost stats. These beans are called Heart Beans (which adds a point to the player's HP), Special Beans (which adds a point to the player's SP), and Power Beans (which adds a point to the player's attack power). An [[Emoglobin]] in the [[Energy Hold]], a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in [[Toad Town]], and [[Toadsworth]] in the [[Toad Square]] provide information about beans.

The [[star menu]] allows the player to see how many beans they have collected as well as the total number of beans in each area. It also allows the player to use beans in the consumable item list where they are categorized by bean type. There are 251 beans in the whole game. Most of them are collected from beanholes – flashing dots underground in [[Bowser's body]] (X-shaped symbols in the remake) and X-shaped bean symbols on the ground of the overworld – by using [[Drill Bros.]] and jumping out. A small number of them can be collected from characters by doing sidequests: 15 from [[PR Toad]], and 39 from [[Kuzzle]].

[[Crawful]]s can eat beans to recover their HP, but if Bowser vacuums its teeth, the Crawful's bean will fly out of the mouth as it attempts to chow down before the bean smashes its head, [[Dizzy|stunning the creature]] for four turns.


An oversized bean appears as a healing item for [[Crawful]]s, and also an attack used by [[Magifoofa]]s.

In the game's remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Defense, Speed and Stache Beans (the last of the three being renamed "Flex Beans") have been added to the game. Multiple beans can be dug up in one drill spot, and some beans are also obtained after defeating the giant bosses. After talking to a certain Toad in [[Toad Town]] who gives information about beans, any sections with uncovered drill spots will be marked in the map. Also, the list of dug-up beans can be found in the Records option instead of the Items option in the star menu, although beans obtained from the PR Toad and Kuzzle are no longer counted.

Like in other ''Mario & Luigi'' games, beans are a collectible in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', to the extent they were in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', where they boosted the brothers' stats upon eating them. Beans are marked as Xs in the ground, and upon Mario digging one up gives the player a bean that permanently boosts one of the brother's stats by one stat point. Unlike the earlier games, there are Beans for all of the stats rather than just beans for Power, HP and SP (which was changed back to BP as of this game).

Beans are marked as Xs in the ground. Mario can dig them out by using [[Mole Mario]] and appearing from below the X. Each bean permanently boosts one of the brother's stats by one stat point.

Beans are only dug up in the Real World. If the player pauses the game and goes into the Beans section in the Collection Menu, they can find a list of all the areas with beans and how many they've found and how many there are in each area. Beans can also be gained from equipping the [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|Wellington Boots/Farmer Boots]], which may turn coins into bean drops. There are a total of 143 beans that can be dug up in the game, with there being 24 of each bean (with the exception of Speed Beans, which there are 23 of) to find.

There are also DX versions of each bean, which increase its respective stat by 3 when used. These can be obtained by completing [[Kylie Koopa]]'s photo puzzles or defeating [[Gold Beanie]]s. One Heart Bean DX is also obtained after completing the trading quest in [[Wakeport]].

===''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''===
Beans return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. As a result of there being no [[Bros. Move]] in which Mario and/or Luigi dig underground, Beans cannot be found in marked spots underground. Instead, they can be obtained by completing challenges and side quests, and in the overworld from Hidden Blocks. Like in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', there is a DX version of each base bean that increases the stat by 3 instead of 1.

A Woo Bean in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions.
Artwork of a Woo Bean.

Beans are collectible items that have made an appearance in all Mario & Luigi games to date. Their use varies between games, though they are usually used to increase the stats of characters, and are usually found in marked spots underground on the overworld. Additionally, the Beanish are a race of bean-like people that appear in almost every Mario & Luigi game.

History[edit]

A Woo Bean, Hoo Bean, Chuckle Bean and Hee Bean in both versions.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, beans are plentiful in the Beanbean Kingdom, though collecting them is entirely optional. Only 99 beans of each type can be carried at once, and their only use is be taken to the Starbeans Cafe, where they can be blended into stat-boosting Bean Juice for Mario and Luigi. There are four kinds of beans in the game; each one is acquired in a different way, used to make certain Bean Juices, and, like the locations of the Beanbean Kingdom, named after words pertaining to laughter:

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]

Main article: List of beanholes in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
A bean from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
“That bean valuable. Don't know why. But it valuable...”
Older Thwomp Bro, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Beans are dug up by Baby Mario and Baby Luigi when they use the Baby Drill technique or can be won from the minigames in Thwomp Caverns. These can be traded to Fawful in his shop, Fawful's Bean 'n' Badge, for Badges. The Beans in this game bear a resemblance to Hee Beans, although they are never actually given any name other than "Bean".

The first time the player activates the Start menu after getting a Bean, Stuffwell will break in and explain where the player can see the number of Beans collected.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, beans are optional and can boost stats. These beans are called Heart Beans (which adds a point to the player's HP), Special Beans (which adds a point to the player's SP), and Power Beans (which add a point to the player's attack power). An Emoglobin in the Energy Hold, a Toad in Toad Town, and Toadsworth in the Toad Square provide information about beans.

The star menu allows the player to see how many beans they have collected as well as the total number of beans in each area. It also allows the player to use beans in the consumable item list where they are categorized by bean type. There are 251 beans in the whole game. Most of them are collected from beanholes – flashing dots underground in Bowser's body (X-shaped symbols in the remake) and X-shaped bean symbols on the ground of the overworld – by using Drill Bros. and jumping out. A small number of them can be collected from characters by doing sidequests: 15 from PR Toad, and 39 from Kuzzle. Crawfuls can eat beans to recover their HP, but if Bowser vacuums its teeth, the Crawful's bean will fly out of the mouth as it attempts to chow down before the bean smashes its head, stunning the creature for four turns.

In the game's remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Defense, Speed and Stache Beans (the last of the three being renamed "Flex Beans" likely to accommodate for Bowser's ability to use them) have been added to the game. Multiple beans can be dug up in one drill spot, and some beans are also obtained after defeating the giant bosses. After talking to a certain Toad in Toad Town who gives information about beans, any sections with uncovered drill spots will be marked in the map. Also, the list of dug-up beans can be found in the Records option instead of the Items option in the star menu, although beans obtained from the PR Toad and Kuzzle are no longer counted.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]

Main article: List of beanholes in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

Like in other Mario & Luigi games, beans are a collectible in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, to the extent they were in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, where they boosted the brothers' stats upon eating them. Beans are marked as Xs in the ground. Mario can dig them out by using Mole Mario and appearing from below the X. Each bean permanently boosts one of the brother's stats by one stat point. Unlike the earlier games, there are Beans for all of the stats rather than just beans for Power, HP and SP (which was changed back to BP as of this game).

Beans are only dug up in the Real World. If the player pauses the game and goes into the Beans section in the Collection Menu, they can find a list of all the areas with beans and how many they've found and how many there are in each area. Beans can also be gained from equipping the Wellington Boots/Farmer Boots, which may turn coins into bean drops. There are a total of 143 beans that can be dug up in the game, with there being 24 of each bean (with the exception of Speed Beans, which there are 23 of) to find.

There are also DX versions of each bean, which increase its respective stat by 3 when used. These can be obtained by completing Kylie Koopa's photo puzzles or defeating Gold Beanies. One Heart Bean DX is also obtained after completing the trading quest in Wakeport.

  • Heart bean item Heart Beans: Pink beans that increase a bro's HP.
  • Sprite of the Bros Bean item from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. Beans: Green beans that increase a bro's BP.
  • Power bean item Power Beans: Orange beans that increase a bro's POW.
  • Defence bean item Defense Beans: Silver beans that increase a bro's DEF.
  • Speed bean item Speed Beans: Blue beans that increase a bro's SPEED.
  • Stache bean item Stache Beans: Brown beans that increase a bro's STACHE.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]

Main article: List of drill spots in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam

Beans return in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, acting the same way they did in both Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Like in the previous two games, the number of beans collected in each area can be viewed in the menu, this time from the Collection screen. Beans are dug up from X-marked circular spots on the ground and dirt sections of walls, and can be collected with the Trio Drill ability on the overworld. Beans can also be obtained after passing the Know-it-all Toad quizzes. In addition to this, the Wellington Boots return and cause enemies to drop beans when defeated. Finally, countering Petey Piranha's chase attack may give a bean.

DX Beans also return. The Bad Nabbit mission gives the player these beans after each battle with Nabbit, and the Paper Broozers' barrel-throwing attack may sometimes cause one or more of these beans to appear when countered.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership[edit]

Beans return in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. As a result of there being no Bros. Move in which Mario and/or Luigi dig underground, Beans cannot be found in marked spots underground. Instead, they can be obtained by completing challenges and side quests, and in the overworld from Hidden Blocks. Like in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, there is a DX version of each base bean that increases the stat by 3 instead of 1.

  • Heart Bean: Adds 1 to max HP.
  • Heart Bean DX: Adds 3 to max HP.
  • Bros. Bean: Adds 1 to max BP.
  • Bros. Bean DX: Adds 3 to max BP.
  • Power Bean: Adds 1 to POW.
  • Power Bean DX: Adds 3 to POW.
  • Defense Bean: Adds 1 to DEF.
  • Defense Bean DX: Adds 3 to DEF.
  • Speed Bean: Adds 1 to SPEED.
  • Speed Bean DX: Adds 3 to SPEED.
  • Stache Bean: Adds 1 to STACHE.
  • Stache Bean DX: Adds 3 to STACHE.

Trivia[edit]

  • A Beanish in Beanbean Castle Town says that due to how it is "such a pain" to dig down to get items, most of his species do not bother to do such. This explains why there are so many beanholes containing Chuckle Beans scattered throughout the Beanbean Kingdom.[2]
