Mario and Luigi in the Pipe Yard

Click an area to open the relevant article.

The Pipe Yard is one of the places found in Bowser's body during the events of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake that is apparently located in Bowser's ear. There are many different pipes in this area that connect to locations all over the Mushroom Kingdom, such as Dimble Wood, the Toad Town Caves, and Bowser's Castle. As the game continues, Mario and Luigi learn new moves and can reach more pipes that were not accessible before. In parts of the game, the player needs to head to the Pipe Yard to leave Bowser's body. The Red Pipe falls only after Bowser gets electrocuted. Before that it is standing like any normal pipe making the rest of the area inaccessible.

Prima Official Game Guide description

• "The Pipe Yard is loaded with several warp pipes Bowser gobbled up when Fawful tricked him into eating the Vacuum Shroom. The warp pipes in this chamber lead to various points in the Mushroom Kingdom. At first, many of the pipes are blocked by yellow pellet walls. Over time, though, the Bros. find ways to pop into the Pipe Yard and hit ! Blocks that disable walls and open up pipes. Before long, the Pipe Yard becomes the Bros.' best shortcut to getting around the Mushroom Kingdom."

Trivia

Area map

• When the player breaks the machine made by Dr. Toadley, it is odd that the "vents" work in Bowser's Body, as the machine was in Toad Town.
• After the red Pipe is destroyed, if Mario and Luigi attempt to leave Bowser's body while something is going on (such as if another area in Bowser's body is required to enter to continue the story), Starlow will stop them and tell them to check out what Bowser is doing.
• The pink Pipe can be accessed early when Mario and Luigi learn how to use running vents in the original game. However, when Mario and Luigi go through the pipe, debris and a gate will be blocking the exits.
• Once the Pipe Yard is available, if Mario and Luigi go out of Bowser's body and to where Bowser is located, he will not be there for unknown reasons. The only two exceptions are if the player goes to the security system in Toad Town Caves where Bowser is stunned, and while his back hurts after Mario and Luigi defeat Junker.
