Bowser's body
Bowser's body is a location from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake. After Bowser, under the influence of the Vacuum Shroom, inhales everyone at Princess Peach's meeting, Mario and Luigi must search for the missing princess within his body.
On the map of Bowser's body, the big areas with many enemies are denoted with green circles, places where minigames are played are red circles, places where moves are unlocked are blue circles, and finally the only other place, the challenge node, is yellow.
When an enemy is inhaled by Bowser in the DS version, the battle background corresponds to the current location of Mario and Luigi on the map of Bowser's Body. A generic background with an appearance similar to the final cutscene is used for areas where no battles take place. Despite having proper battles take place here, being in the Flame Pipe or Memory Banks will use the generic background. Similarly, the Challenge Node does not use the background of the Gauntlet or Cholesteroad. In the 3DS version, the generic background is used for all battles, except for the final battle.
