TheNerve Cluster is an area ofBowser's body inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and itsremake. This area is located in his ulnar nerve. It is accessible toMario andLuigi whenBowser finishes eating theWiggler'sgiga-carrot and obtains theBanzai Bill. Mario and Luigi come in here to find a pain in Bowser caused byDurmite and herBiffidus helpers. Once Mario and Luigi defeat Durmite and the Biffidus, they enter another room with more Biffidus, and findToadbert. After finding Toadbert Mario and Luigi hammer the nerve which drops a wall blocking the exit and allowsBowser to use thesliding punch. Toadbert and Starlow then tell Bowser how to use the sliding punch.
