Areas[edit]
Stardust Fields[edit]
Stardust Fields lies at the border between the Mushroom Kingdom and the Beanbean Kingdom. Getting through the border that separates the Mushroom and Beanbean sides of Stardust Fields requires aBorder Jump with theBorder Bros. The population of Stardust Fields is rather small, made up of only 5 people who can talk. TheStarshade Bros.' headquarters are under the fields, which are always covered by a starry night sky.
Tolstar is apparently the king of this region.
Hoohoo Mountain[edit]
Hoohoo Mountain is a large mountain on the northwest side of the Beanbean Kingdom. Long ago, theHoohoo civilization used to be located here, and their jokes can still be seen in the sides of the mountain, written inHooroglyphs. Hoohoo Mountain has various waterfalls, and the water of these descend from the water-filled crater at the mountain's summit. On the summit, there is a nest-like structure where the rare Hoohoo blocks are found. To climb the mountain,Mario andLuigi would have to climb it manually, or haveBlablanadon fly them up to the top. At the bottom of the mountain isHoohoo Village, where theHoohooligans live. TheHammerhead Bros., who used a Hoohoo block to build the Mario Bros. their hammers, used to live here as well, but moved to northeast in Beanbean Fields.
Beanbean Fields[edit]
Beanbean Castle Town andBeanbean Castle lie at the center of the Beanbean Kingdom's largest region, Beanbean Fields (originally known as Beanbean Outskirts). North of it are Hoohoo Mountain and Teehee Valley. South of it lie are Beanbean International Airport and Woohoo Hooniversity, To the west is Chucklehuck Woods, and to the east is Oho Ocean. Beanbean Fields are a vast, grassy, slightly hilly plain, and connect many of the various landmarks in the Beanbean Kingdom. Many enemies are seen in this area, includingParabeanies andSharpeas, among others.
Beanbean Fields also seems to include various rivers, although they are likely to be canals built by the kingdom's people.
Beanbean Castle and Town[edit]
The capital city of the Beanbean Kingdom,Beanbean Castle Town is also whereBeanbean Castle is located, which is where the kingdom's monarch,Queen Bean, as well as her son,Prince Peasley, and other people such asLady Lima live. TheBeanstar is kept guarded in the castle, and during the events ofMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Cackletta devises a plan to steal the Beanstar. The castle town is where most of the kingdom'sBeanish people live. The town and castle are surrounded by water canals. According to Fava's brother, who is considered by many to be the smartest person in the town, Beanbean Castle Town was once the setting of the greatSoybean civilization, and their artifacts, the rare Beanrocks, lie buried below the town.
The town is split in two by the water canals, and is connected by a bridge. Two additional bridges connect the castle town with Beanbean Fields. Beanbean Castle Town is attacked twice duringMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
Chucklehuck Woods[edit]
A strange forest located in southwest Beanbean,Chucklehuck Woods is where the mystical Chuckola Fruit is grown. The entrance to the woods is the oldChateau de Chucklehuck, famous for being whereChuckola Cola is brewed. Mario and Luigi are sent here to obtain the cure for Queen Bean's sickness, the legendaryChuckola Reserve.
In the middle of the woods is an ancient structure known as theMother Chuckalola, which is where the Chuckola Reserve was being brewed for a thousand years byBubbles, the original owner of Chateau de Chucklehuck, until it matured enough to achieve perfection. Mother Chuckola is protected byChuckleroot, and elderly tree-like being, who believes only certain people can pass, and those who want to must first acquire the three rare varieties of Chuckloa Fruit.
Popple andRookie, first met in Chateau de Chucklehuck, later sneak into the forest, and try to steal the Chuckola reserve for themselves. However, they are stopped by Bubbles and the reserve itself, and it later battles Mario and Luigi in a new form known as theChuckolator.
Winkles also inhabit an area located deeper in the woods.
Woohoo Hooniversity[edit]
A university focused on the studies of laughter,Woohoo Hooniversity is located in southeast Beanbean. According to Prince Peasley's investigations, Cackletta and her underlings had snuck into the university and attacked the professors as the students fled, turning the victims intoLaser Snifits.
After completing some puzzles, the Mario Bros. activate a solar-powered door that leads to Cackletta's hiding place. It is here that she plans to use the Beanstar and Peach's voice. After her plan fails, and after being defeated by the bros., the Beanstar is later found by Rookie and Popple in the basement. It later flees from the university as Mario, Luigi, Popple, and Rookie hold on to it, and shatters into 4 pieces.
? Block research is undertaken in the university as well.
Oho Oasis[edit]
Oho Oasis is home to theOho Jee, a species that speaks imperfect English, and come in two varieties, blue and red. Oho Oasis was once visited by outsiders belonging to the Oho Civilization Research Expedition, who named the species, and made the discovery that red Oho Jee who were lit on fire would turn into monsters and attack, also hypothesizing that blue Oho Jee would likely transform when exposed to electricity.
Two temples, home toFirebrand and Thunderhand, are located in the center of the island. It is from Firebrand and Thunderhand that Mario and Luigi learn theFirebrand andThunderhand techniques.
Teehee Valley[edit]
A desert in north Beanbean and the only way for travelers walking on foot to reachLittle Fungitown,Teehee Valley was once part of the seafloor of Oho Ocean. Over time, as the sea shrank, the seafloor became exposed. Teehee Valley contains yellow pipes that take people to underground ruins that are often inhabited byGritty Goombas.
Mario and Luigi are originally sent to Teehee Valley to escort Peach all the way to Little Fungitown, and are forced to battleTrunkle on their way. Later in the game, the Mario Bros. return to the desert to gather one of the four Beanstar pieces, which had landed on an old ship that once used to ship Chuckola Cola around the world. The ship had sunk, and over time, the ship's crew had turned into living skeletons. After breaking a crack in the ship's wall, the old ship is shot from the valley and into Oho Ocean, only to sink a second time.
Species[edit]
Also,Kurako live in this kingdom, but are rare. There are also a few variants of familiar enemy creatures (such asTanoombas) found here, as well enemies also found in the Mushroom Kingdom (an example of this is theBlooper). Finally, theHoohoo andSoybean civilizations may be the very oldest known inhabitants of the Beanbean Kingdom.
Currency[edit]
Like the Mushroom Kingdom uses Mushroomcoins as their money, the Beanbean Kingdom uses Beanbean coins. Although Mushroom Kingdom coins can still be used in the Beanbean Kingdom, they typically are worth much less than Beanbean coins. The exchange rate from Mushroom to Beanbean coins is inconsistent.
