The '''Memory Banks''' is a location in [[Bowser's body]], as seen in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. It is in [[Bowser]]'s brain (possibly the [[Wikipedia:Temporal lobe|temporal lobe]]) and is responsible for storing all of Bowser's memories. The Memory Banks is personified as a organized computer database in form of a library, with each memory stored as a separate file on shelves and is analogous to memory stored on a computer's hard disk. It is protected by a pixelated [[Napse]] known as the Librarian that works to organize and back up the memories and also to fight off intruders.

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.

  • In the Japanese version of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the Memory Bank stores the safe combination, 9898 88241 983, using the 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.
