Crabbie Grass
Description
"Bitter medicine for Bean Fever."
First appearance Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (2003)
Latest appearance Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (2017)

Crabbie Grass is an item in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake. It is a small, bitter-tasting herb and the only known cure to the Bean Fever disease. Its only known location it grows at is the end of the temple of Guffawha Ruins, tucked in to Beanbean Kingdom. During the events of the game, Mario contracts Bean Fever after eating an Invincishroom (clarified to be a misidentified Poison Mushroom in the game's remake) and Luigi is tasked by the Toad doctor with retrieving it. Luigi only finds one piece of this herbal medicine, enough to cure Mario's bedridden state.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, the Crabbie Grass is red instead of its original green coloration.
