'''Beans''' are collectible items that have made an appearance in all [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'']] games to date. Their use varies between games, though they are usually used to increase the stats of characters, and are usually found in marked spots underground on the overworld. Additionally, the [[Beanish]] are a race of bean-like people that appear in almost every ''Mario & Luigi'' game.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Beans are plentiful in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], though collecting them is entirely optional. There are four kinds of beans in the game, and each are acquired in a different way:

*[[File:BeansWoo SS.png]] [[File:MLSSBMWooBean.png]] '''Woo Beans''' are green and are usually found after fighting enemies like [[Beanie]]s, [[Sharpea]]s and [[Troopea]]s. They can also be obtained by playing certain [[Surfing Minigame|minigames]] or completing certain [[Splart|tasks]]. Equipping the [[Game Boy Horror]] will guarantee a Woo Bean after fighting the enemies listed above. 
*[[File:BeansHee SS.png]] [[File:MLSSBMHeeBean.png]] '''Hee Beans''' are yellow and are awarded as prizes in minigames in [[Stardust Fields]] ([[Border Jump]]), [[Hoohoo Mountain]] ([[Mysterious Mine Carts]]), the [[S.S. Chuckola]] ([[Barrel (minigame)|Barrel]]), [[Little Fungitown]] ([[Star 'Stache Smash]]) and [[Chucklehuck Woods]] ([[Chuckola Bounce]]).
*[[File:BeansChuckle SS.png]] [[File:MLSSBMChuckleBean.png]] '''Chuckle Beans''' are red and are the most common type. They are hidden underground. When [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] come across an "X" or some other distinguishing feature on the ground, Mario can perform the [[Luigi Dunk]] to pound Luigi underground. By popping out of the ground at the spot of the "X", Luigi will uncover a Chuckle Bean. If Mario is pounded on by a hammer and turned into [[Mini-Mario]], a ! sign will be over his head if there is an invisible Chuckle Bean under him.
*[[File:BeansHoo SS.png]] [[File:MLSSBMHooBean.png]] '''Hoo Beans''' are brown and the rarest type. They are found in [[Hidden Block|invisible]] [[? Block]]s in seemingly dead end areas. By jumping around, one might uncover one of these Blocks, always containing one Hoo Bean. Additional invisible ? Blocks containing five or seven Hoo Beans can be found in [[Joke's End]] and the [[Koopa Cruiser]] after it is repaired. In the remake, if the [[Secret Specs]] are equipped, these invisible ? Blocks can be seen to make Hoo Beans slightly easier to collect.

As a final supply, there is a pair of [[Oho Jee]]s south of [[Oho Oasis]] running a [[Surfing Minigame|surfing game]] that awards all type of beans except Hee Beans.

All beans can be taken to the [[Starbeans Cafe]], where they are blended into stat-boosting Bean Juice for Mario and Luigi.

During the battle with [[Queen Bean]], she spits out a bean when both of her arms are degenerated, which needs to be jumped over. If Mario and Luigi stomp on the bean, it will spawn a Beanie.

Hammering [[Sharpea]]s dropped from a [[Lakipea]] with a [[Game Boy Horror]] equipped is the easiest way to farm Woo Beans.

You can only carry 99 of a type of bean before you run out of space and have to use them.

===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
{{main|List of beanholes in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time}}
[[File:Bean - MLPiT.png|frame]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Beans are dug up by [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] when they use the [[Drill Bros.|Baby Drill]] technique or can be won from the minigames in [[Thwomp Caverns]]. These can be traded to [[Fawful]] in his shop, [[Fawful's Bean 'n' Badge]], for [[Badge]]s. The Beans in this game bear a resemblance to Hee Beans, although they are never actually given any name other than "Bean".

The first time the player activates the {{button|long|Start}} menu after getting a Bean, [[Stuffwell]] will break in and explain where the player can see the number of Beans collected.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', beans are optional and can boost stats. These beans are called Heart Beans (which adds a point to the player's HP), Special Beans (which adds a point to the player's SP), and Power Beans (which adds a point to the player's attack power). An [[Emoglobin]] in the [[Energy Hold]], a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in [[Toad Town]], and [[Toadsworth]] in the [[Toad Square]] provide information about beans.

The [[star menu]] allows the player to see how many beans they have collected as well as the total number of beans in each area. It also allows the player to use beans in the consumable item list where they are categorized by bean type. There are 251 beans in the whole game. Most of them are collected from beanholes – flashing dots underground in [[Bowser's body]] (X-shaped symbols in the remake) and X-shaped bean symbols on the ground of the overworld – by using [[Drill Bros.]] and jumping out. A small number of them can be collected from characters by doing sidequests: 15 from [[PR Toad]], and 39 from [[Kuzzle]].

An oversized Bean appears as a healing item for [[Crawful]]s, and also an attack used by [[Magifoofa]]s.

[[File:MLBISDX UncoveredBeanSpotsMarked.png|thumb|An area in Toad Town with uncovered beanspots marked on the mini-map in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'']]
In the game's remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Defense, Speed and Stache Beans (the latter of the three being renamed "Flex Beans") have been added to the game. Multiple beans can be dug up in one drill spot, and some beans are also obtained after defeating the giant bosses. After talking to a certain Toad in [[Toad Town]] who gives information about beans, any sections with uncovered drill spots will be marked in the map. Also, the list of dug-up beans can be found in the Records option instead of the Items option in the star menu, although beans obtained from the PR Toad and Kuzzle are no longer counted.

===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
{{main|List of beanholes in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team}}
Like in other ''Mario & Luigi'' games, beans are a collectible in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', to the extent they were in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', where they boosted the brothers' stats upon eating them. Beans are marked as Xs in the ground, and upon Mario digging one up gives the player a bean that permanently boosts one of the brother's stats by one stat point. Unlike the earlier games, there are Beans for all of the stats rather than just beans for Power, HP and SP (which was changed back to BP as of this game).

Beans are only dug up in the Real World. If the player pauses the game and goes into the Beans section in the Collection Menu, they can find a list of all the areas with beans and how many they've found and how many there are in each area. Beans can also be gained from equipping the Wellington Boots/Farmer Boots, which may turn coins into bean drops. There are a total of 143 beans that can be dug up in the game, with there being 24 of each bean (with the exception of Speed Beans, which there are 23 of) to find.

There are also DX versions of each bean, which increase its respective stat by 3 when used. These can be obtained by completing [[Kylie Koopa]]'s photo puzzles or defeating [[Gold Beanie]]s. One Heart Bean DX is also obtained after completing the trading quest in [[Wakeport]].

===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
{{main|List of drill spots in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam}}
Beans returned in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', acting the same way they did in both ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''. Like in the previous two games, the number of beans collected in each area can be viewed in the menu, this time from the Collection screen. Beans are dug up from X-marked circular spots on the ground and walls, and can be collected with the [[Trio Drill]] ability on the overworld. Beans can also be obtained after passing the Know-it-all Toad quizzes. In addition to this, the [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam#Wellington Boots|Wellington Boots]] return and cause enemies to drop beans when defeated. Finally, countering [[Petey Piranha]]'s chase attack may give a bean.

DX Beans also return. The [[Bad Nabbit]] mission gives the player these beans after each battle with [[Nabbit]], and the [[Paper Broozer]]s' barrel-throwing attack may sometimes cause one or more of these beans to appear when countered.

==Trivia==
*A [[Beanish]] in Beanbean Castle Town says that most of his species are too lazy to search for them, which is why there are so many Chuckle Beans and Hoo Beans scattered throughout the Beanbean Kingdom.
