Star ‘Stache Smash is a minigame in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. Geno makes his only appearance in the Mario & Luigi series here.

Description[]

It takes place in Little Fungitown. When the bros. go into the arcade, they find an arcade machine. If they use it, they will be taken to a minigame which, in the original version, is hosted by a mechanical Geno. Two Piranha Plants with open “mouths” are on each side. The objective is to get the power-ups into the piranha plants to get a score of 200 or more. Bob-ombs will close the mouths. Upon completion, the bros. are rewarded with an Invincishroom. After Mario eats it, he gets sick with Bean Fever. As a result, his brother has to go to Guffawha Ruins to find a cure for him.

Controls[]

Mario uses the A Button button and Luigi uses the B Button button to tilt the board upwards.
