TheTunnel (also known as theUnderground Tunnel)[1] is a location inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and itsremake. It is located beneathCavi Cape and located south-east of theToad Town Caves.Bowser is catapulted here by a group ofBob-ombs shortly afterFawful kidnapsPrincess Peach. Only two types of enemies appear here.
The area appears to be an underground railroad under construction. After navigating the tunnels, Bowser meets up with theMonty Bros. One of the four explains that they are trying to make a tunnel that will connect them to Toad Town. They use a huge machine to get the job done. A disgruntled Bowser reluctantly helps them achieve their goal.Mario andLuigi have to go to theLeg Outpost to give him power, though. Bowser has to achieve this before the battery dies in ninety seconds, in order to avoid having to pay 50 coins for a replacement battery. Bowser's power overcomes the challenge and the machine is totaled. Bowser heads in the next room to the Toad Town Caves, where the Dark Star is sealed.
The Mario Bros. are unable to access the Tunnel, as it requires breaking rocks and pushing buttons, which only Bowser can do.
The background music in the Tunnel is a slow and sombre composition, which is also used for the Toad Town Caves,Tower of Yikk, andBowser Path.
AChakroad can be found here, hidden beneath a wooden crate near aWarp Pipe that leads to the entrance of the area.

Prima Official Game Guide description[edit]
- "The explosion in Bowser's Castle sends Bowser flying across the kingdom, dropping him into a hole in the ground at Cavi Cape. Bowser pulls himself up to discover he's inside a network of tunnels that have not yet been completely connected. The tunnel system beneath the kingdom is his best bet for finding a way back up to the surface, so Bowser continues exploring."
