The '''Beanbean Kingdom''' (''FR:'' '''Royaume Végésia''') is a major kingdom which shares its northeastern border with the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. It was the main setting of the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', which was also its only appearance. While relatively small compared to its neighbor, the Beanbean Kingdom is still expansive.  The kingdom is great enough to encompass a variety of natural formations, including dry mountains and valleys, a forested area, and a large portion of the neighboring sea. Ruled by [[Queen Bean]] with the assistance of her son, [[Prince Peasley]], and her lady at court, [[Lady Lima]].

==Government==
==Areas==
The Beanbean Kingdom's government is a [[monarchy]], headed by Queen Bean. In addition to making decisions on a national level, the government also controls the military and presides over international relations.  Based out of [[Beanbean Castle]] in [[Beanbean Castle Town]], the government extends its influence throughout the kingdom through various political and military means.
===Stardust Fields===
[[File:StardustFields.png|frame]]
Stardust Fields lies at the border between the Mushroom Kingdom and the Beanbean Kingdom. Getting through the border that separates the Mushroom and Beanbean sides of Stardust Fields requires a [[Border Jump]] with the [[Border Bro]]s. The population of Stardust Fields is rather small, made up of only 5 people who can talk. The [[Starshade Bros.]]' headquarters are under the fields, which are always covered by a starry night sky.  


===Political Process===
[[Tolstar]] is apparently the king of this region.
Political power in the kingdom is currently divided between three individuals.  Queen Bean holds absolute power as queen of the kingdom.  Her son, Prince Peasley, confers with his mother regarding political situation and takes part in secret missions when the need arises.  Additionally, Queen Bean holds a female court.  Her lady at court is Lady Lima, who largely stays by the queen's side, watching over her every need and assisting politically when needed.
{{br|right}}


The government operates from Beanbean Castle. Special meetings regarding current issues are held in Queen Bean's thrown room. Discussions regarding events and possible solutions are discussed by the queen and any other relevant party present. Usually, these meetings include the queen and Lady Lima. Occasionally prince Peasley will also be present.
===Hoohoo Mountain===
[[File:Hoohoo Mountain.png|frame]]
Hoohoo Mountain is a large mountain on the northwest side of the Beanbean Kingdom. Long ago, the [[Hoohoo civilization]] used to be located here, and their jokes can still be seen in the sides of the mountain, written in [[Hooroglyphs]]. Hoohoo Mountain has various waterfalls, and the water of these descend from the water-filled crater at the mountain's summit. On the summit, there is a nest-like structure where the rare Hoohoo blocks are found. To climb the mountain, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] would have to climb it manually, or have [[Blablanadon]] fly them up to the top. At the bottom of the mountain is [[Hoohoo Village]], where the [[Hoohooligan]]s live. The [[Hammerhead Bros.]], who used a Hoohoo block to build the Mario Bros. their hammers, used to live here as well, but moved to northeast in Beanbean Fields.
{{br|right}}


===Military===
===Beanbean Fields===
The government organizes and operates a group of armored soldiers. Soldiers are employed as guards of government institutions and persons. During times of crisis, they may be employed for special missions. Each soldier wears a metal helmet and breastplate for protection. For battle, a soldier uses a javelin and shield.
[[File:MLSS-Beanbean Outskirts Screenshot.png|frame]]
[[Beanbean Castle Town]] and [[Beanbean Castle]] lie at the center of the Beanbean Kingdom's largest region, Beanbean Fields (originally known as Beanbean Outskirts). North of it are Hoohoo Mountain and Teehee Valley. South of it lie are Beanbean International Airport and Woohoo Hooniversity, To the west is Chucklehuck Woods, and to the east is Oho Ocean. Beanbean Fields are a vast, grassy, slightly hilly plain, and connect many of the various landmarks in the Beanbean Kingdom. Many enemies are seen in this area, including [[Parabeanie]]s and [[Sharpea]]s, among others.


==Economy==
Beanbean Fields also seems to include various rivers, although they are likely to be canals built by the kingdom's people.
The Beanbean Kingdom utilizes a market-based economy, much like the Mushroom Kingdom.  People make a living by providing goods and/or services to others in exchange for tender, either in the form of [[Beanbean Coin]]s or otherwise.  This tender is then used to purchase goods and/or services from a different individual or to build up one's own ability to provide goods and/or services, creating a cyclical nature to the process.
{{br}}


Beanbean Coins are the official legal tender of the kingdom. These coins boast a much higher monetary value than the [[coin]]s of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. The exact exchange rate between the two is subject to change rapidly.
===Beanbean Castle and Town===
[[File:MLSS-Outside Beanbean Castle Screenshot.png|frame]]
The capital city of the Beanbean Kingdom, [[Beanbean Castle Town]] is also where [[Beanbean Castle]] is located, which is where the kingdom's monarch, [[Queen Bean]], as well as her son, [[Prince Peasley]], and other people such as [[Lady Lima]] live. The [[Beanstar]] is kept guarded in the castle, and during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Cackletta devises a plan to steal the Beanstar. The castle town is where most of the kingdom's [[Beanish]] people live. The town and castle are surrounded by water canals. According to Fava's brother, who is considered by many to be the smartest person in the town, Beanbean Castle Town was once the setting of the great [[Soybean civilization]], and their artifacts, the rare Beanrocks, lie buried below the town.


Primarily, physical goods are brought to consumers through [[shop]]s, such as the [[clothing]] and [[item]] shops in Beanbean Castle Town or the [[Little Fungitown]] shop.  Each shopkeeper utilizes his or her own sources for obtaining items, and as a result, selection and prices vary throughout the kingdom. Most shops both buy and sell goods.  Like the selling price of an item, the buying price varies from shop to shop.
The town is split in two by the water canals, and is connected by a bridge. Two additional bridges connect the castle town with Beanbean Fields. Beanbean Castle Town is attacked twice during ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.
{{br|right}}


The service economy is typically vaster as it includes both organizations, such as [[Beanbean Air]], and individuals, such as the photographer who resides in the castle town's park.  Tourism, one of the Beanbean Kingdom's largest draws, is included in this sector.
===Chucklehuck Woods===
[[File:Chucklehuck Woods MLSS.png|frame]]
A strange forest located in southwest Beanbean, [[Chucklehuck Woods]] is where the mystical Chuckola Fruit is grown. The entrance to the woods is the old [[Chateau de Chucklehuck]], famous for being where [[Chuckola Cola (Mario & Luigi series)|Chuckola Cola]] is brewed. Mario and Luigi are sent here to obtain the cure for Queen Bean's sickness, the legendary [[Chuckola Reserve]].

[[File:Woohoo Hooniversity MLSS.png|frame]]
A university focused on the studies of laughter, [[Woohoo Hooniversity]] is located in southeast Beanbean. According to Prince Peasley's investigations, Cackletta and her underlings had snuck into the university and attacked the professors as the students fled, turning the victims into [[Laser Snifit]]s.


=== Beanbean Outskirts ===
After completing some puzzles, the Mario Bros. activate a solar-powered door that leads to Cackletta's hiding place. It is here that she plans to use the Beanstar and Peach's voice. After her plan fails, and after being defeated by the bros., the Beanstar is later found by Rookie and Popple in the basement. It later flees from the university as Mario, Luigi, Popple, and Rookie hold on to it, and shatters into 4 pieces.

=== Beanbean Castle and Town ===
===Oho Oasis===
The capital city of the Beanbean Kingdom, [[Beanbean Castle Town]] is also where [[Beanbean Castle]] is located, which is where the kingdom's monarch, [[Queen Bean]], as well as her son, [[Prince Peasley]], and other people such as [[Lady Lima]] live. The [[Beanstar]] is kept guarded in the castle, and during the events of [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]], Cackletta devises a plan to steal the Beanstar to accomplish her evil wishes. The castle town is where most of the kingdom's [[Beanish]] people live, and the town is successful, having various shops and houses. The town and castle are surrounded by water canals.

[[File:MLSS-Oho Jee Screenshot.png|frame]]
[[Oho Oasis]] is home to the [[Oho Jee]], a species that speaks imperfect English, and come in two varieties, blue and red. Oho Oasis was once visited by outsiders belonging to the Oho Civilization Research Expedition, who named the species, and made the discovery that red Oho Jee who were lit on fire would turn into monsters and attack, also hypothesizing that blue Oho Jee would likely transform when exposed to electricity.


The town is split in two, due to the water canals, and is connected by a bridge. Two additional bridges connect the castle town with Beanbean Outskirts. Beanbean Castle Town is attacked twice during the events of ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.
Two temples, home to [[Firebrand and Thunderhand]], are located in the center of the island. It is from Firebrand and Thunderhand that Mario and Luigi learn the [[Firebrand]] and [[Thunderhand]] techniques.
{{br|right}}


=== Beanbean Castle Area ===
===Teehee Valley===
Beanbean Castle Area is the grassy area surrounding the castle and town. It connects the kingdom's other locations.

The northwestern part has an entrance to Hoohoo Mountain, the southwestern part has an entrance to Chucklehuck Woods, the southeastern part has an enterance to Woohoo Hooniversity, and the northeastern part has an entrance to Teehee Valley; there are also entrances to the other, more minor locations such as the Beanbean International Airport. The eastern edge of this area is a beach. The area's enemies are [[Sharpea]]s, [[Sworm]]s, [[Parabeanie]]s, [[Tanoomba]]s, and some others.
[[File:Teehee Valley.png|frame]]
A desert in north Beanbean and the only way for travelers walking on foot to reach [[Little Fungitown]], [[Teehee Valley]] was once part of the seafloor of Oho Ocean. Over time, as the sea shrank, the seafloor became exposed. Teehee Valley contains yellow pipes that take people to underground ruins that are often inhabited by [[Gritty Goomba]]s.


== Species ==
Mario and Luigi are originally sent to Teehee Valley to escort Peach all the way to Little Fungitown, and are forced to battle [[Trunkle]] on their way. Later in the game, the Mario Bros. return to the desert to gather one of the four Beanstar pieces, which had landed on an old ship that once used to ship Chuckola Cola around the world. The ship had sunk, and over time, the ship's crew had turned into living skeletons. After breaking a crack in the ship's wall, the old ship is shot from the valley and into Oho Ocean, only to sink a second time.
The Beanbean Kingdom has a few species; however, the [[Beanish]] are the most common races in the kingdom. Other races are:

Oho Oasis was once visited by outsiders belonging to the Oho Civilization Research Expedition, who named the species, and made the discovery that red Oho Jee who were lit on fire would turn into monsters and attack, also hypothesizing that blue Oho Jee would likely transform when exposed to electricity.

Two temples, home to Firebrand and Thunderhand, are located in the center of the island. It is from Firebrand and Thunderhand that Mario and Luigi learn the Firebrand and Thunderhand techniques.

Teehee Valley

Mario and Luigi looking after Peach while wandering in the deserts of Teehee Valley.

A desert in north Beanbean and the only way for travelers walking on foot to reach Little Fungitown, Teehee Valley was once part of the seafloor of Oho Ocean. Over time, as the sea shrank, the seafloor became exposed. Teehee Valley contains yellow pipes that take people to underground ruins that are often inhabited by Gritty Goombas.

Mario and Luigi are originally sent to Teehee Valley to escort Peach all the way to Little Fungitown, and are forced to battle Trunkle on their way. Later in the game, the Mario Bros. return to the desert to gather one of the four Beanstar pieces, which had landed on an old ship that once used to ship Chuckola Cola around the world. The ship had sunk, and over time, the ship's crew had turned into living skeletons. After breaking a crack in the ship's wall, the old ship is shot from the valley and into Oho Ocean, only to sink a second time.

Species

Also, Kurako live in this kingdom, but are rare. There are also a few variants of familiar enemy creatures (such as Tanoombas) found here, as well enemies also found in the Mushroom Kingdom (an example of this is the Blooper). Finally, the Hoohoo and Soybean civilizations may be the very oldest known inhabitants of the Beanbean Kingdom.

Currency

Like the Mushroom Kingdom uses Mushroom Coins as their money, the Beanbean Kingdom uses Beanbean coins. Although Mushroom Kingdom coins can still be used in the Beanbean Kingdom, they typically are worth much less than Beanbean coins. The exchange rate from Mushroom to Beanbean coins is inconsistent.
