The Airway

Template:Bowsermap Airway is the final area of Bowser's body that Mario and Luigi explore in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake. It is unlocked when the Pump Works is completed. It is apparently located in Bowser's lungs and trachea. The airway houses all of Bowser's DNA and is the place where the Dark Star is fought. In order to progress through the Airway, Bowser must inhale a stream of ice from Blizzard Midbus's snout, and alternate in-between to get to the end of the area. The Dark Star slowly progresses through and takes in Bowser's DNA as it goes through. First, it acquires his fist, then his flame breath (but in a more dark flame than bright red), and finally his shell to ground pound. When the Bros. finally make it to the area where they fight the Dark Star, he has the complete look of Bowser, without the legs. The Emoglobin that hosts The Gauntlet suggests that players that want to level up very quickly should battle the monsters in the Airway.

Trivia

  • If the player saves while the Dark Star is in the Airway, the last sentence in the save message says that the Airway is called the Air Space, the Japanese name for the Airway. This was resolved in the remake.
  • This is the only large area in Bowser's body without Attack Pieces.
  • There is an area in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team that is very similar to the Airway called Dreamy Mount Pajamaja. Once again, the player has to freeze and thaw out geysers to advance.
