Doctor, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Crabbie Grass is an item in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake. It is a small, bitter-tasting herb and the only known cure to Bean Fever. Its only known location it grows at is the end of the temple of Guffawha Ruins, tucked into the Beanbean Kingdom. During the events of the game, Mario contracts Bean Fever after eating an Invincishroom (clarified to be a misidentified Poison Mushroom in the game's remake), and Luigi is tasked by the doctor with retrieving it. Luigi finds only one piece of this herbal medicine, enough to cure Mario's bedridden state.

In the remake, the Crabbie Grass is red instead of its original green coloration.
