The '''Memory Banks''' is a location in [[Bowser's body]], as seen in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. It is in [[Bowser]]'s brain (possibly the [[Wikipedia:Temporal lobe|temporal lobe]]) and is responsible for storing all of Bowser's memories. The Memory Banks is personified as a organized computer database in form of a library, with each memory stored as a separate file on shelves, and is analogous to memory stored on a computer's hard disk. It is protected by a pixelated [[Napse]] known as the Librarian that works to organize and back up the memories and fight off intruders.

  • In the Japanese version of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the Memory Bank stores the safe combination, 9898 88241 983, using the goroawase mnemonic 「クッパ クッパ やっぱり つよい クッパさま」 (Bowser, Bowser, strong as expected, Bowser-sama). This was roughly adapted in the Korean version [쿠파님 쿠파님 멋있고 힘센 우리 쿠파님!] (‘Bowser-nim, Bowser-nim, cool and strong, our Bowser-nim!’), with -nim being the Korean equivalent to the Japanese -sama suffix. In the English version, the accompanying text is changed to "Doop-de-doo... Bowser-oo... Whoop-de-WOO!" instead.
