Skeletone Formula:D
- “*Results may vary. Not responsible for skeleton damage.
*Side effects include dizziness, fainting, and soggy bones.” - —In-game text,Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey
TheSkeletone Formula:D is an item inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. It is a chemical formula created by theBest Fitness Friends that is meant to cure theblorbs, as this is successfully demonstrated on a bloatedGoomba, curing him instantly. The Best Fitness Friends then tell theKoopalings that there are three ingredients needed to create more of the formula, as the formula that was just used was the last one. The ingredients are a piece of aGiga-carrot, anOmega-onion, andEver Ice. The ":D" in the name references the emoticon, which represents a big grin.
Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings set out to find the ingredients and eventually find them all, but need the help ofBroque Madame to combine them properly. Once Bowser Jr. has the completed formula, Kaley of the Best Fitness Friends swoops in to steal it, revealing that it was all a ploy to trick Bowser Jr. and his minions into making it. The Best Fitness Friends then combine the Skeletone Formula:D with aMalodorous Fibbian, turning it intoMalatone Formula:X, which causes minions to become brainwashed and hostile to their previous allies, which is first demonstrated onMorton. The Malatone Formula:X also creates immunity to theDeny command in battle, thoughLudwig'sStop and Drop command can still stop special skills from enemies infused with the formula.
Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings eventually manage to retrieve the Skeletone Formula:D upon defeating theBest Fitness Friends and distribute it to the blorbed Goombas. Bowser Jr. also offers some to his father, Bowser, with the latter accepting largely because he still felt bloated as a result of theVacuum Shroom he had ingested earlier. However, despite Bowser Jr.'s warnings, Bowser ingests the entire container, causing him tolose too much of his mass.
