“As Mario and Luigi embark on a grand adventure, another quest is unfolding somewhere nearby... So begins the story of Bowser's Minions!”

—Unlock text, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions

Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser is a campaign exclusive to Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions for the Nintendo 3DS which takes place simultaneously with the main story of the game. It is unlocked when Mario and Luigi see Captain Goomba in Beanbean Fields. The story involves Bowser's minions battling the enemies of the Beanbean Kingdom to rescue Bowser, after he is knocked out from Stardust Fields, led by Captain Goomba. The battles involve two armies automatically fighting against each other, though the player can choose which characters to send in, give more power to Special Skills by performing certain actions such as repeatedly pressing a button, and they can choose one of the Captain Commands available to the captain, the latter of which costs CP. At the end of a battle, there's a chance of one or more of the opponent's allies joining the player's team. There are three types of troopers: Melee (who only fight physically), Ranged (who fight exclusively with projectiles), and Flying (physical fighters who fly). The types follow a rock-paper-scissors triangle of strength and weakness (referred to as the "Power Triangle" in-game), with Melee units being strong against Ranged units but weak against Flying units, Ranged units being strong against Flying units but weak against Melee units, and Flying units being strong against Melee units but weak against Ranged units.

Story[edit]

The story of Minion Quest is shown as a movie, just like the main Mario Bros. story, in the Yoshi Theater.

The story starts off right after the Mario Bros. have defeated the first two enemies in the game, the two Goombas. After they are defeated, they are placed in barrels, and the one on the right complains about how he got trounced by the Mario Bros. again, with the one on the left saying that it's about time the Goombas rose up and made a name for themselves. These two Goombas would eventually become Captain Goomba and Private Goomp over the course of the coming events.

They are berated by the Koopalings Roy, Wendy, and Iggy, who tear into them and mercilessly taunt them about how useless, expendable, and trash they are and proceed to give them orders, but before they can do so, the Koopa Cruiser gets attacked by Fawful and starts to sink into the area around the border between the Mushroom and Beanbean Kingdoms, just like in the main story, and every one of Bowser's army of baddies is thrown clear of the wreckage.

Captain Goomba regains his consciousness and awakes in a cave on top of a huge mountain. He sees Bowser launch out of the cannon in Stardust Fields, and fly through the air into the distance. Deciding to rush after his leader, Captain Goomba takes off in pursuit of Bowser. After defeating two Beanies who come across his path, he comes across some of his fellow Goombas arguing over who should be the captain and lead the rescue. Captain Goomba offers to carry the captain's flag, and while the others mainly agreed to it because no one else wanted to, Captain Goomba slowly starts to win their sincere support throughout the story.

After defeating two Paragoombas who mistake Captain Goomba for an enemy, they explain that Fawful has captured Bowser, and has begun to brainwash all of Bowser's Minions with his headgear smoke. The minions make fun of the captain's "aura of stupidity"; this becomes a running gag throughout the story. Ludwig and Lemmy are encountered on the mountain, but they pay the squad no mind as they continue to look for Bowser themselves.

Fawful's Decree.

Captain Goomba soon comes across Fawful, who has Bowser with him. Before he can do anything, however, Private Goomp arrives to take credit for defeating Fawful. Fawful uses his brainwashing smoke to brainwash Private Goomp, but fails to brainwash Captain Goomba due to his true minion spirit. Captain Goomba and his squad fight against Private Goomp and his brainwashed forces, but after the battle, Fawful knocks Goomp and Captain Goomba off the mountain, and flees to the castle to retrieve the Beanstar, tying in to the main story. With Bowser having disappeared, Captain Goomba consults a Hoohooligan about Bowser's whereabouts, and jumps off the bridge to the base of the mountain, making a huge crash in the process.

Outside Beanbean Castle Town, the Koopalings are discussing their plans about how to find Lord Bowser, and even wonder if he has been kidnapped. They easily dispatch a rowdy group of Beanies, but are ambushed by Fawful, who uses a more powerful spray to brainwash all the Koopalings after the normal one proved to be ineffective.

The Elite Trio prepare to fight.

Captain Goomba and his squad are able to recruit additional members to their ranks, such as a Shy Guy who joins as Captain Shy Guy, and a Lakitu who was captured by a brainwashed Larry. The group runs into Prince Peasley, and after a battle ensues with a few Piranha Beans, Captain Goomba humorously sends out one of them to attack Prince Peasley. The squad then encounters the Elite Trio, with Private Goomp declaring his intent to steal Captain Goomba's glory, so he, along with Sergeant Guy and Corporal Paraplonk, fight the squad, with Captain Goomba winning the battle. The Elite Trio then argue over why they lost, and the squad decides to ignore their squabble and continue. Eventually, the group confronts Larry, who is ordering his minions to help build a fortress for him, so he can conquer Beanbean Castle Town. Captain Goomba is able to defeat Larry, and convinces him to join their cause, although Larry strongly dislikes taking orders from a Goomba. He informs the squad that the Koopalings are scattered around the world, knowing the locations of three of the Koopalings: Iggy in Chucklehuck Woods, Wendy in Gwarhar Lagoon, and Morton in Teehee Valley. Heading into a cave to the next area, the squad encounters Professor E. Gadd, who talks about his ghost research and his inventions, including a time machine.

Professor E. Gadd.

In Chucklehuck Woods, Iggy is busy taking over the forest. Captain Goomba is lured into a cave by an addictive fragrance and finds Bubbles, who mistakes them for Iggy's minions, and opens a trapdoor with his feet, sending the entire squad plummeting down into the underground. The squad is able to escape the cave and continue through the forest, on the way recruiting Captain Boo] and the Elite Trio's Sergeant Guy, as well as assisting Cork and Cask in retrieving the Red Goblet in exchange for info on Iggy's whereabouts. The squad is able to find Iggy at Mother Chuckalola and defeat him, where he joins the squad's team.

The "cute battle" contest.

In Gwarhar Lagoon, the squad encounters Wendy, who decides to host a "cute battle" to determine the cutest group on the island. The squad hopes to win the contest to snap Wendy out of her brainwashing. Among the contestants are Hermie III, who captures Starlow as a decoration for his shell. Spangle asks for help in rescuing Starlow, but upon doing so, Starlow refuses his advances and shooes away both Hermie and Spangle. Corporal Paraplonk is encountered training his Paratroopas for the contest, and after defeating him, he joins the squad. The cutie battle begins, and after earning enough points in the rounds, Wendy gets fed up at their success and decides to fight them before the final round. Wendy joins the squad after losing, and after Captain Goomba leaves, the Star Angels (Starlow, Spangle, and two Starkisses) end up winning the prize.

Popple trips on Bowser.

Back at Hoohoo Mountain, Bowser, who now has amnesia after being struck by a "hard object," encounters Popple in the village stealing food, and begins to follow him around. Captain Goomba encounters Popple when they return to Chucklehuck Woods. At this point, Popple has already made Bowser his Rookie, but loses sight of him and asks the squad for help in finding "Rookie," before he eventually double-crosses them. Rookie does show up after defeating Popple, but he does not recognize his former lackeys and leaves with Popple, presumably to steal the Chuckola Reserve.

The Invincibility Mushroom and the Poison Mushroom

The squad arrives at Teehee Valley, where Morton is attempting to take over the Toad village. Here they battle Private Goomp once more and are able to recruit him, and also recruit Captain Koopa Troopa, who has an affinity for rhyming. Encountering a Toad who runs the Little Fungitown arcade, they help him obtain an Invincishroom from a cave to serve as an arcade prize (Though they mistakenly obtain a Poison Mushroom instead, which contributes to Mario's Bean Fever). The squad finds and defeats Morton near the valley's edge, and he joins the squad. Preparing to leave the area, Popple is encountered again, now without Rookie and seeking a replacement (candidates include a Fighter Fly, a Beanie, a Paratroopea, a Tanoomba, and Birdo). Upset that the squad attacked him in the woods, Popple fights the minions, but is defeated again. Birdo, the only candidate left standing after the fight, carries Popple away. Meanwhile, the cutscene where Bowser becomes Bowletta plays, signifying the timeframe of events.

Lakitu informs the crew that the Koopa Cruiser is being repaired in Joke's End, but Fawful appears to tell them he took over Bowser's Castle, and that Bowser is "no longer of this world anymore." Making their way to Joke's End, they find the Koopa Cruiser in ruins, so they decide to defeat brainwashed minions to gather repair tools, unaware they are being spied on by Roy. Once they have enough allies, Roy launches a surprise attack, but he comes to his senses and joins the squad, telling the squad to stop a bomb the Elite Trio had placed on the cruiser. With the cruiser repaired, the squad is able to get to Bowser's castle.

The seven Koopalings.

The castle is filled with the hardest enemies thus far. Ludwig and Lemmy are encountered and fought, and once defeated, the Koopaling team is complete. As a test of strength, Ludwig orders all the Koopalings to fight at the same time. Captain Goomba defeats them all, and they gain the Koopalings' respect.

The squad encounters Fawful once again, and although he taunts the squad mercilessly, they defeat him and make their way to Bowser's chamber, where Bowser (seemingly returned) immediately tells Captain Goomba to "destroy" Mario; it is presumed that the minions turn their attention to the Mario Bros. after this order. In reality, this "Bowser" was actually Bowletta in disguise, and when Captain Goomba confronts them about this, she and Fawful use a trapdoor to send the squad into a dungeon, which turns out to be a Mecha-Fawful factory. After a long final battle which tests all the skills obtained thus far, the minions defeat Fawful one final time and escape the dungeon. It is unknown what happened to Fawful after this; it is presumed he fled and proceeded to fight Mario and Luigi directly after.

The Ending Picture.

After Bowletta's ultimate defeat, the minions reunite with a returned Bowser, only for the castle to explode, sending Bowser and his minions crashing into the screen. Later, Bowser gets stuck in the present in the airplane, and all the minions chase after it on their way home. Back at Bowser's castle, Bowser prepares to promote Captain Goomba for his efforts, only to realize he was the "hard object" that fell on Bowser's head and gave him amnesia. Bowser angrily chases after Captain Goomba, and his title and flag are taken away as the story comes to a close.

CP[edit]

The bottom screen of MLSSBM's Minion Quest

The bottom screen in a level with some of the Captain Commands that can be used.

CP (Captain Points) are used to activate Captain Commands. The higher the captain's level is, the more CP and Captain Commands he will have; each captain can have a maximum of 10 CP. After a battle, some CP is restored; by 1 if the captain has a maximum of 1-5 CP, 2 if the captain has a maximum of 6-8 CP, and 3 if the captain has a maximum of 9 or 10 CP. The only other way to increase CP in a level is through the Chance Captain Command; if the player is lucky, they will get 5 CP out of it, but it costs 3 CP to use.

References to other games[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3: Larry is the boss of the plains world, Morton is the boss of the desert world, and Wendy is the boss of the water world, as they were in this game.
Paper Mario series: The Goombas' Rocket Headbutt Special Skill is similar to their Headbonk move from these games, along with the Headbonk Goombas from Super Paper Mario.
Luigi's Mansion: E. Gadd mentions that he created the Starbeans Cafe franchise to provide funding for his ghost research during the events of Luigi's Mansion.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time: E. Gadd mentions he is building a time machine.
Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario Galaxy 2: Bomb Boos appear.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: Starlow and Mechawfuls appear.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker: An Invincibility Mushroom appears.

References in later games[edit]

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey: The Minion Quest mechanic returns as a story mode for Bowser Jr. In addition, Captain Goomba, Captain Koopa Troopa, Captain Boo, and Captain Shy Guy make a reappearance as enemies and allies. Captain Goomba's inadvertent role in giving Bowser amnesia (as well as that mode's ending where he got demoted as a result) is indirectly referenced right before Bowser Jr.'s tutorial fight against him, where Captain Goomba states he does not wish to upset Bowser again. Both Morton and Ludwig also reference the Captains' role in saving Bowser near the beginning of and late in the game, respectively.

+{{quote|As Mario and Luigi embark on a grand adventure, another quest is unfolding somewhere nearby... So begins the story of Bowser's Minions!|Unlock text|[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]}}
+'''''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''''' is a campaign exclusive to ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] which takes place simultaneously with the main story of the game. It is unlocked when [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] see [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] in [[Beanbean Fields]]. The story involves [[Bowser]]'s minions battling the enemies of the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] to rescue Bowser, after he is knocked out from [[Stardust Fields]], led by Captain Goomba. The battles involve two armies automatically fighting against each other, though the player can choose which characters to send in, give more power to [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]]s by performing certain actions such as repeatedly pressing a button, and they can choose one of the [[Captain Command]]s available to the captain, the latter of which costs CP. At the end of a battle, there's a chance of one or more of the opponent's allies joining the player's team. There are three types of troopers: Melee (who only fight physically), Ranged (who fight exclusively with projectiles), and Flying (physical fighters who fly). The types follow a rock-paper-scissors triangle of strength and weakness (referred to as the "Power Triangle" in-game), with Melee units being strong against Ranged units but weak against Flying units, Ranged units being strong against Flying units but weak against Melee units, and Flying units being strong against Melee units but weak against Ranged units.
+==Story==
+The story of ''Minion Quest'' is shown as a movie, just like the main Mario Bros. story, in the [[Yoshi Theater (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Yoshi Theater]].
+The story starts off right after the Mario Bros. have defeated the first two enemies in the game, the two Goombas. After they are defeated, they are placed in barrels, and the one on the right complains about how he got trounced by the Mario Bros. ''again'', with the one on the left saying that it's about time the Goombas rose up and made a name for themselves. These two Goombas would eventually become [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] and [[Private Goomp]] over the course of the coming events.
+They are berated by the Koopalings [[Roy]], [[Wendy]], and [[Iggy]], who tear into them and mercilessly taunt them about how useless, expendable, and trash they are and proceed to give them orders, but before they can do so, the Koopa Cruiser gets attacked by [[Fawful]] and starts to sink into the area around the border between the Mushroom and Beanbean Kingdoms, just like in the main story, and every one of Bowser's army of baddies is thrown clear of the wreckage.
+Captain Goomba regains his consciousness and awakes in a cave on top of a [[Hoohoo Mountain|huge mountain]]. He sees Bowser launch out of the cannon in [[Stardust Fields]], and fly through the air into the distance. Deciding to rush after his leader, Captain Goomba takes off in pursuit of Bowser. After defeating two Beanies who come across his path, he comes across some of his fellow Goombas arguing over who should be the captain and lead the rescue. Captain Goomba offers to carry the captain's flag, and while the others mainly agreed to it because no one else wanted to, Captain Goomba slowly starts to win their sincere support throughout the story.
+After defeating two Paragoombas who mistake Captain Goomba for an enemy, they explain that Fawful has captured Bowser, and has begun to brainwash all of Bowser's Minions with his headgear smoke. The minions make fun of the captain's "aura of stupidity"; this becomes a running gag throughout the story. [[Ludwig]] and [[Lemmy]] are encountered on the mountain, but they pay the squad no mind as they continue to look for Bowser themselves.
+[[File:M&LSSBM Fawful Threatens Bowser.png|thumb|Fawful's Decree.]]
+Captain Goomba soon comes across Fawful, who has Bowser with him. Before he can do anything, however, Private Goomp arrives to take credit for defeating Fawful. Fawful uses his brainwashing smoke to brainwash Private Goomp, but fails to brainwash Captain Goomba due to his true minion spirit. Captain Goomba and his squad fight against Private Goomp and his brainwashed forces, but after the battle, Fawful knocks Goomp and Captain Goomba off the mountain, and flees to the [[Beanbean Castle|castle]] to retrieve the [[Beanstar]], tying in to the main story. With Bowser having disappeared, Captain Goomba consults a [[Hoohooligan]] about Bowser's whereabouts, and jumps off the bridge to the base of the mountain, making a [[Bowser|huge crash in the process]].
+Outside Beanbean Castle Town, the Koopalings are discussing their plans about how to find Lord Bowser, and even wonder if he has been kidnapped. They easily dispatch a rowdy group of [[Beanie]]s, but are ambushed by Fawful, who uses a more powerful spray to brainwash all the Koopalings after the normal one proved to be ineffective.
+[[File:M&LSSBM Elite Trio Battle.png|thumb|left|The Elite Trio prepare to fight.]]
+Captain Goomba and his squad are able to recruit additional members to their ranks, such as a Shy Guy who joins as [[Captain Shy Guy]], and a [[Lakitu]] who was captured by a brainwashed Larry. The group runs into [[Prince Peasley]], and after a battle ensues with a few [[Piranha Bean|Piranha Beans]], Captain Goomba humorously sends out one of them to attack Prince Peasley. The squad then encounters the [[Elite Trio]], with Private Goomp declaring his intent to steal Captain Goomba's glory, so he, along with [[Sergeant Guy]] and [[Corporal Paraplonk]], fight the squad, with Captain Goomba winning the battle. The Elite Trio then argue over why they lost, and the squad decides to ignore their squabble and continue. Eventually, the group confronts Larry, who is ordering his minions to help build a fortress for him, so he can conquer Beanbean Castle Town. Captain Goomba is able to defeat Larry, and convinces him to join their cause, although Larry strongly dislikes taking orders from a Goomba. He informs the squad that the Koopalings are scattered around the world, knowing the locations of three of the Koopalings: Iggy in [[Chucklehuck Woods]], Wendy in [[Gwarhar Lagoon]], and [[Morton]] in [[Teehee Valley]]. Heading into a cave to the next area, the squad encounters [[Professor E. Gadd]], who talks about his ghost research and his inventions, including a [[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|time machine]].
+[[File:M&LSSBM Egadd Screenshot.png|thumb|[[Professor E. Gadd]].]]
+In Chucklehuck Woods, Iggy is busy taking over the forest. Captain Goomba is lured into a cave by an addictive fragrance and finds [[Bubbles]], who mistakes them for Iggy's minions, and opens a trapdoor with his feet, sending the entire squad plummeting down into the underground. The squad is able to escape the cave and continue through the forest, on the way recruiting [[Captain Boo]]] and the Elite Trio's Sergeant Guy, as well as assisting [[Cork and Cask]] in retrieving the [[Red and Green Goblets|Red Goblet]] in exchange for info on Iggy's whereabouts. The squad is able to find Iggy at Mother Chuckalola and defeat him, where he joins the squad's team.
+[[File:Starlow Herm.PNG|thumb|left|The "cute battle" contest.]]
+In Gwarhar Lagoon, the squad encounters Wendy, who decides to host a "cute battle" to determine the cutest group on the island. The squad hopes to win the contest to snap Wendy out of her brainwashing. Among the contestants are [[Hermie III]], who captures [[Starlow]] as a decoration for his shell. [[Spangle]] asks for help in rescuing Starlow, but upon doing so, Starlow refuses his advances and shooes away both Hermie and Spangle. Corporal Paraplonk is encountered training his Paratroopas for the contest, and after defeating him, he joins the squad. The cutie battle begins, and after earning enough points in the rounds, Wendy gets fed up at their success and decides to fight them before the final round. Wendy joins the squad after losing, and after Captain Goomba leaves, the Star Angels (Starlow, Spangle, and two [[Starkiss]]es) end up winning the prize.
+[[File:Popple tripping on Bowser.png|thumb|Popple trips on Bowser.]]
+Back at Hoohoo Mountain, Bowser, who now has amnesia after being struck by a "hard object," encounters [[Popple]] in the village stealing food, and begins to follow him around. Captain Goomba encounters Popple when they return to Chucklehuck Woods. At this point, Popple has already made Bowser his [[Rookie]], but loses sight of him and asks the squad for help in finding "Rookie," before he eventually double-crosses them. Rookie does show up after defeating Popple, but he does not recognize his former lackeys and leaves with Popple, presumably to steal the Chuckola Reserve.
+[[File:SS+BM Minion Quest Invincibility Mushroom.png|thumb|left|The Invincibility Mushroom and the Poison Mushroom]]
+The squad arrives at Teehee Valley, where Morton is attempting to take over the [[Little Fungitown|Toad village]]. Here they battle Private Goomp once more and are able to recruit him, and also recruit [[Captain Koopa Troopa]], who has an affinity for rhyming. Encountering a Toad who runs the Little Fungitown arcade, they help him obtain an [[Invincishroom]] from a cave to serve as an arcade prize (Though they mistakenly obtain a [[Poison Mushroom]] instead, which contributes to Mario's [[Bean Fever]]). The squad finds and defeats Morton near the valley's edge, and he joins the squad. Preparing to leave the area, Popple is encountered again, now without Rookie and seeking a replacement (candidates include a [[Fighter Fly]], a Beanie, a [[Paratroopea]], a [[Tanoomba]], and [[Birdo]]). Upset that the squad attacked him in the woods, Popple fights the minions, but is defeated again. Birdo, the only candidate left standing after the fight, carries Popple away. Meanwhile, the cutscene where Bowser becomes [[Bowletta]] plays, signifying the timeframe of events.
+Lakitu informs the crew that the [[Koopa Cruiser]] is being repaired in [[Joke's End]], but Fawful appears to tell them he took over Bowser's Castle, and that Bowser is "no longer of this world anymore." Making their way to Joke's End, they find the Koopa Cruiser in ruins, so they decide to defeat brainwashed minions to gather repair tools, unaware they are being spied on by Roy. Once they have enough allies, Roy launches a surprise attack, but he comes to his senses and joins the squad, telling the squad to stop a bomb the Elite Trio had placed on the cruiser. With the cruiser repaired, the squad is able to get to Bowser's castle.
+[[File:Koopi.PNG|thumb|left|The seven Koopalings.]]
+The castle is filled with the hardest enemies thus far. Ludwig and Lemmy are encountered and fought, and once defeated, the Koopaling team is complete. As a test of strength, Ludwig orders all the Koopalings to fight at the same time. Captain Goomba defeats them all, and they gain the Koopalings' respect.
+The squad encounters Fawful once again, and although he taunts the squad mercilessly, they defeat him and make their way to Bowser's chamber, where Bowser (seemingly returned) immediately tells Captain Goomba to "destroy" Mario; it is presumed that the minions turn their attention to the Mario Bros. after this order. In reality, this "Bowser" was actually Bowletta in disguise, and when Captain Goomba confronts them about this, she and Fawful use a trapdoor to send the squad into a dungeon, which turns out to be a [[Mechawful|Mecha-Fawful]] factory. After a long final battle which tests all the skills obtained thus far, the minions defeat Fawful one final time and escape the dungeon. It is unknown what happened to Fawful after this; it is presumed he fled and proceeded to fight Mario and Luigi directly after.
+[[File:Bowser's minions'.png|thumb|The Ending Picture.]]
+After Bowletta's [[Cackletta#Soul|ultimate defeat]], the minions reunite with a returned Bowser, only for the castle to explode, sending Bowser and his minions crashing into the screen. Later, Bowser gets stuck in the present in the airplane, and all the minions chase after it on their way home. Back at Bowser's castle, Bowser prepares to promote Captain Goomba for his efforts, only to realize he was the "hard object" that fell on Bowser's head and gave him amnesia. Bowser angrily chases after Captain Goomba, and his title and flag are taken away as the story comes to a close.

+===CP===
+[[File:MLSSBMBottomScreen.jpg|200px|thumb|The bottom screen in a level with some of the Captain Commands that can be used.]]
+CP (Captain Points) are used to activate Captain Commands. The higher the captain's level is, the more CP and Captain Commands he will have; each captain can have a maximum of 10 CP. After a battle, some CP is restored; by 1 if the captain has a maximum of 1-5 CP, 2 if the captain has a maximum of 6-8 CP, and 3 if the captain has a maximum of 9 or 10 CP. The only other way to increase CP in a level is through the Chance Captain Command; if the player is lucky, they will get 5 CP out of it, but it costs 3 CP to use.

+==References to other games==
+*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': [[Larry]] is the boss of the plains world, [[Morton]] is the boss of the desert world, and [[Wendy]] is the boss of the water world, as they were in this game.
+*[[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]: The Goombas' Rocket Headbutt Special Skill is similar to their [[Headbonk]] move from these games, along with the [[Headbonk Goomba]]s from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.
+*''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'': E. Gadd mentions that he created the [[Starbeans Cafe]] franchise to provide funding for his ghost research during the events of ''Luigi's Mansion''.
+*''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'': E. Gadd mentions he is building a time machine.
+*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' / ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'': [[Bomb Boo]]s appear.
+*''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'': [[Starlow]] and [[Mechawful]]s appear.
+*''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'': An [[Invincibility Mushroom]] appears.
+==References in later games==
+*''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'': The ''Minion Quest'' mechanic returns as a story mode for Bowser Jr. In addition, [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]], [[Captain Koopa Troopa]], [[Captain Boo]], and [[Captain Shy Guy (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Shy Guy]] make a reappearance as enemies and allies. Captain Goomba's inadvertent role in giving Bowser amnesia (as well as that mode's ending where he got demoted as a result) is indirectly referenced right before Bowser Jr.'s tutorial fight against him, where Captain Goomba states he does not wish to upset Bowser again. Both Morton and Ludwig also reference the Captains' role in saving Bowser near the beginning of and late in the game, respectively.
