'''Woohoo Hooniversity''' is a university in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] that is used by [[Cackletta]] as a spot to awaken the [[Beanstar]] during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. According to the instruction booklet, the chemistry of laughter is researched here, as are item [[block]]s, for there is a room within the Hooniversity containing blocks from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', and ''[[Paper Mario]].''

'''Woohoo Hooniversity''' is a university in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', dedicated to the study of laughter. It is located near [[Beanbean Fields]]. When the Mario Bros. arrive, looking for the [[Beanstar]], [[Cackletta]] and [[Fawful]] have taken over the building, severely damaging it and transforming the research teams and faculty.


Cackletta and [[Fawful]] overtake the university and turn all of its scientists into [[Laser Snifit]]s. In fact, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] see a professor transform right before their eyes. The Mario Bros. have to complete many tasks and defeat many of these monsters on their journey through the building. By repositioning a multitude of mirrors, they manage to shine light on and open the Sun Door, which leads to the room where the villains plan to awaken the Beanstar. However, when Cackletta activates the [[Peach Bot]]s that supposedly house [[Princess Peach]]'s stolen voice (the only sound to which the Beanstar will respond), they make a strange noise that angers the Beanstar, causing it to destroy the ground beneath it, sending it and the Peach Bots falling down into the university's basement.  
Cackletta and Fawful take over the university and transform many of its scientists into [[Laser Snifit]]s. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] soon arrive to stop Cackletta after [[Prince Peasley]] mentions that she is there. Once there, they find that Cackletta has locked herself behind a door opened only by light. By positioning certain mirrors, they reroute a beam of light to open various shutters and the door. When Cackletta activates the [[Peach-bot]]s that are supposed to contain [[Princess Peach]]'s voice, however, they enrage the Beanstar, crashing it into the university's basement (this is because the voice they stole was actually [[Birdo]]'s voice). Mario and Luigi arrive shortly after this happens, and Luigi drives Fawful into the ground using his [[hammer]].
[[File:MLSS-Woohoo Honiversity Map.png|500px|frame|right|thumb|Woohoo Hooniversity area map.]]
 
Mario and Luigi fight and defeat Cackletta, whose essence is sucked up by Fawful (into his [[Vacuum Helmet|Headgear]]) for safe-keeping. [[Prince Peasley]] then appears and throws Fawful out of the university before telling the brothers to go to the basement and retrieve the Beanstar. However, [[Popple]] and [[Rookie (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Rookie]] (actually an amnesiac [[Bowser]]) find the artifact first and must be defeated in order for the Mario Bros. to claim the Beanstar. Unfortunately, a Peach Bot then crashes down and emits the strange sound again, causing the Beanstar to fly up into the air and out of Woohoo Hooniversity in rage, with Mario, Luigi, Popple, and Rookie in tow. Later, Popple, Mario, Luigi, and Rookie lose their grip on the Beanstar, which separates into four pieces and is scattered across the Beanbean Kingdom.  
Mario and Luigi fight and defeat Cackletta, though with Fawful's help, she lives on as a [[Cackletta#Soul|spirit]] inside his [[Vacuum Helmet|Headgear]]. Before they finish off the brothers, however, [[Prince Peasley]] appears and knocks them out of the university and into [[Stardust Fields]]. The brothers promptly go to the basement of the university to collect the Beanstar. However, [[Popple]] and [[Rookie]] find it first, and prevent them from collecting it. After Popple and Rookie are defeated, a Peach-bot falls down and emits the voice again, causing the Beanstar to fly up into the air and out of Woohoo Hooniversity in rage, with Mario, Luigi, Popple, and Rookie in tow. They all fall off the Beanstar (with Mario and Luigi landing in [[Oho Oasis]], Popple presumably landing in [[Chucklehuck Woods]] and Rookie, who remembers [[Bowser|who he really is]] before landing in Stardust Fields) before it explodes into four pieces.

Woohoo Hooniversity is a university in the Beanbean Kingdom that appears in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, dedicated to the study of laughter. It is located near Beanbean Fields. When the Mario Bros. arrive, looking for the Beanstar, Cackletta and Fawful have taken over the building, severely damaging it and transforming the research teams and faculty.

Cackletta and Fawful take over the university and transform many of its scientists into Laser Snifits. Mario and Luigi soon arrive to stop Cackletta after Prince Peasley mentions that she is there. Once there, they find that Cackletta has locked herself behind a door opened only by light. By positioning certain mirrors, they reroute a beam of light to open various shutters and the door. When Cackletta activates the Peach-bots that are supposed to contain Princess Peach's voice, however, they enrage the Beanstar, crashing it into the university's basement (this is because the voice they stole was actually Birdo's voice). Mario and Luigi arrive shortly after this happens, and Luigi drives Fawful into the ground using his hammer.

Mario and Luigi fight and defeat Cackletta, though with Fawful's help, she lives on as a spirit inside his Headgear. Before they finish off the brothers, however, Prince Peasley appears and knocks them out of the university and into Stardust Fields. The brothers promptly go to the basement of the university to collect the Beanstar. However, Popple and Rookie find it first, and prevent them from collecting it. After Popple and Rookie are defeated, a Peach-bot falls down and emits the voice again, causing the Beanstar to fly up into the air and out of Woohoo Hooniversity in rage, with Mario, Luigi, Popple, and Rookie in tow. They all fall off the Beanstar (with Mario and Luigi landing in Oho Oasis, Popple presumably landing in Chucklehuck Woods and Rookie, who remembers who he really is before landing in Stardust Fields) before it explodes into four pieces.
