It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: More details about when this specific section of the Challenge Node can be accessed, as well as requirements like whether or not the bosses must first be encountered in the story

The Gauntlet is an area in the Challenge Node that appears in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey.

Description

The Gauntlet allows Mario and Luigi to face harder versions of six bosses they have battled previously; the Emoglobin that greets the Bros. explains that they mined their memories to create these stronger bosses. All of the boss rematches are denoted with the letter "X" (e.g. Durmite X for Durmite), and thy use faster and more powerful variants of attacks from their base movesets. In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Giant Bowser's bosses can be refought here as well, where they are faster and more powerful, and no mushrooms appear during the battles.

There are seven classes of battle, with each representing one of seven bosses that Mario and Luigi have fought over the course of the game. Each class costs a certain amount of coins to fight, and the battle must be cleared in a certain amount of turns, or else the Bros. will automatically lose and be forced to try again. The seventh class is only unlocked when the other six are cleared, and features a boss rush of all six previous classes culminating with Bowser X as the seventh and final battle in the set.

A similar area called the Battle Ring appears in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.
