The Chakroads are special portals located across the Mushroom Kingdom in the game Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. They are described as "a conduit for energy waves that bond earth to space"[1] The King of the Koopas, Bowser, uses there portals to warp to different locations throughout the course of the game. Bowser first encounters a Chakroad in the Cavi Cape after being prompted to smash a rock by a mysterious voice telepathically connected to Bowser's mind. After uncovering the first Chakroad, the voice explains that these portals can be used by Bowser to travel to places he has already visited (and discovered the respective Chakroad for), doing so through the power of his mind and memory. Chakroads can be found under objects such as rocks, which can be destroyed with a punch, or trees, which can be burned away by fire. It is later revealed the Chakroads are connected to the sage known as Chakron, likely given his own connection to outer space after meditating on the stars for a thousand years.
Locations
Name | Hidden Under | Location |
---|---|---|
Cavi Cape Entrance | Boulder | In the first screen where Bowser awakes. |
Cavi Cape Exit | Boulder | Near the hole to the Tunnel. |
Plack Beach | Palm tree | Near the save block at the first screen. |
Dimble Wood | Tree | In the screen just after Broque Monsieur's Shop. |
Bowser Castle | Boulder | Near the floor hole to the basement. |
Underground Tunnel | Wooden crate | Near the pipe that go to the entrance. |
Lake-Plain Border | Giant Brick Block | In farthest screen in Bumpsy Plains to the left. |
Peach's Castle | Fawfulized Princess Peach Statue | Near the Shop Block in the garden |
Top of Peach's Castle | (none) | In the room to the right in the Tower. |
Since Chakroads are always hidden under objects that only Bowser can destroy, the Mario Bros. can never use Chakroads. If the portals are already unveiled, the brothers cannot see them either.
Trivia
- The name Chakroad is a portmanteau of chakra and road. In Hinduism and Buddhism, the chakras, or energy centres, are special focal points located on the body, described as whorls of received and transmitted energies. Similarly, Chakroads are depicted as whorls of energy that form special "focal points" for Bowser in the Mushroom Kingdom.
