TheTrash Pit is an area withinBowser's body inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story andMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey; it was originally called theJunk Spot in the demo for the original game.[1] It is located in his colon. True to its name, the Trash Pit is full of miscellaneous junk, and it is whereMario,Luigi, andStarlow end up after they and all the others present at the meeting inPeach's Castle get inhaled byBowser.
Mario falls into the beginning of the area, and he searches for a while before he stumbles upon Starlow, who is trapped in an amoeba. Once Mario frees Starlow, aGoombule battles him. After the battle, Mario and Starlow proceed into another room, where they find Luigi, who is attached by his head to a pipe-like object with a bubble. They free him and then stumble into tenAttack Pieces, and Mario and Luigi learn how to kicka shell at their enemies. Mario and Luigi also get thehammers and learn how to use them in this area.
Once the Mario Bros. finish the Trash Pit, they are able to access other areas in Bowser's body. TheFunny Bone,Toad Square, and theChallenge Node are the first areas that get unlocked.
In the 3DS remake, Mario, Luigi,Princess Peach, and severalMushroomers are eaten by Bowser, and the former two end up in the Trash Pit on the title screen.

Music[edit]
 The Path of Secrets (Inside Bowser) - Plays inBowser Path, theTunnel,Toad Town Caves, and theTower of Yikk while inside Bowser, and by extension, theEnergy Hold. | File info |
During the first visit to the Trash Pit, The Path of Secrets plays. This is an unsettling tune in C-sharp minor that loops about once every minute. AfterBowser regains his consciousness inCavi Cape, the track only plays inside Bowser's body when he is exploring the path tohis castle, theUnderground Tunnel, theToad Town Caves, and theTower of Yikk; a more defined remix is played outside Bowser's body.
Prima Official Game Guide description[edit]
- "Whoa. What happened? Mario and Luigi are now actually inside Bowser. And predictably, it's kind of icky within the Koopa King's body. Bowser may be big and strong, but he hasn't exactly been taking great care of of himself. Working inside of him are dozens or irritable cells and antibodies that are determined to make sure no purity in the system goes unpunished, and that definitely includes Mario and Luigi. The Bros. have no choice but to poke around inside Bowser's body to find a way out. However, until they can discover the means of escaping Bowser's body, they might as well try to help the big lug save Princess Peach and stop Fawful as best they can from their front row seats to the Bowser Show."
