Cholesteroad

The Cholesteroad in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey.

The Cholesteroad is an event in the Challenge Node in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake. The name is a pun on both "cholesterol" and "road." It is unlocked after the Scutlet in the Flame Pipe is defeated. During the Cholesteroad, the player partakes in using Mario and Luigi's Bros. Attacks in a manner that progressively become more difficult to use until the player makes a mistake. The Cholesteroad features two categories, Endless Mode and Juuuuump Mode.

The Cholesteroad is Mario and Luigi's counterpart to Bowser's sessions with Broque Madame, where the player's agility with Bowser's Brawl Attacks is tested.

Modes

Endless Mode

If the player chooses Endless Mode, the player can use five of the Bros. Attacks which slowly increase in complexity and speed, against an endless swarm of Cholesterons; the player is scored based on how long they can keep up the progressive difficulty before failing once. In this mode, the player can do all the Bros. Attacks except for the Fire Flower, Mighty Meteor, Snack Basket and Falling Star.

Juuuuump Mode

In Juuuuump Mode, the players use the Jump Helmet to move as far a distance as possible within a limited time frame, which can be replenished by grabbing the extra time clocks. Points are allotted based on the distance traveled before making a mistake or running out of time. 25 and 50 points are required to obtain the B Rank and A Rank, respectively in the Japanese version of the original game, while the European and American versions of the original game require 30 and 60 points for the B and A ranks, respectively.

Prima Official Game Guide description

• "The Cholesteroad is a collection of Special Attack contests. The target is the gooey, yellow-y Cholesteron, a fatty little cell that can take a licking and keep on ticking. The Bros. must unload their Special Ataacls on the Cholesterons a^[sic] several times to win the event and earn either an "A" or "B" rating. A "B" rating earns the Bros. some coins, but an "A" rating pays out in both coins and Gear."
