Beanies are enemies that first appear inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and appear in later installments such asMario & Luigi: Dream Team andMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. They resemble large, green beans with feet and a face, and seem to be theBeanish versions of theGoombas from theMushroom Kingdom. They are found in various areas within the kingdom, and first appear inHoohoo Mountain; theGold Beanie is a stronger variant found later on in the game.
History[edit]
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga /Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]
InMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Beanies are normally encountered inHoohoo Mountain; they chase afterMario andLuigi in an attempt to ram into them and start a fight, though they will occasionally trip on their face while doing this. In addition, wingedParabeanies can be found inBeanbean Fields and will revert to normal Beanies with enough damage; the beans thatQueen Bean spits up during her boss battle may turn into Beanies if stomped.Pestnuts andElite Pestnuts (which appear inChucklehuck Woods and theSeabed) will reveal either a Beanie or a Gold Beanie if their shells are cracked; if this occurs in the Seabed, the Beanie will float to the surface, which prevents them from being fought but still counts as defeating them.
In battle, Beanies attackMario orLuigi by running in front of one brother and ramming into them, which the Bros. can dodge or counter byjumping; they will sometimes trip before ramming, which requires the Bros. to delay their jump. The type of ram can be determined by the Beanie's proximity to the target; if they are far away, they will trip. Beanies are weak toFirebrand-based moves, and may dropWoo Beans upon defeat.
Beanies reappear inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, functioning the same as in the original game. They also appear as the first enemies encountered inMinion Quest: The Search for Bowser, where they are fought in the levelGo, Goomba, Go! They are Melee troopers and attack by charging into opponents. TheirSpecial Skill, Mega Tackle, allows them to charge quickly into a targeted opponent, causing more damage than a regular charge. Several Beanies also attempt to attack theKoopalings when they not only intruded upon their turf but also proceeded to ignore them, although the Koopalings (who were otherwise occupied discussing how to find Bowser) managed to easily subdue them before intimidating them into fleeing. One Beanie also lines up to bePopple's newRookie after his last one went missing, only to be turned down. While they are generally indicated to be close relatives of both Goombas and Pestnuts, the Beanie, Goomba, and Pestnut families are organized separately in the mode's enemy list.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]
InMario & Luigi: Dream Team, theGold Beanie can summon a bunch of Beanies to chaseMario as a part of one of its attacks. During this, the Gold Beanie will hide behind one while the group of Beanies charge at Mario from behind. In this game, Beanies lack the sprout on their head.
