Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story bestiary

A comprehensive list of enemy stats from the game Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. For a bestiary related to the remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, see Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey bestiary.

Most stats listed are from the Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story PRIMA Official Game Guide. The Prima Games guide does not feature every enemy and is missing some data, primarily for the Gauntlet's X bosses. Missing data, as well as corrections for errors from the Prima Games guide, are sourced from the game's data.

Legend

• Name: The name of the enemy.
• Role: What role the enemy plays in the battle. Depending on the enemy, multiple can apply.
  • Common enemies are fought in normal battles. (Ex: Chuboomba)
  • Boss enemies are tougher than common enemies, different music is heard during these battles, and defeating a boss enemy advances the story. (Ex: Wiggler)
  • Support enemies, sometimes parts of a boss or an object, appear alongside a boss enemy to assist the boss. (Ex: Straw, Biffidus)
  • Training enemies are fought in tutorial battles to teach the player game mechanics. (Ex: Goombule, Broggy, Tenderling)
  • Giant enemies are fought by giant Bowser in a different battle system compared to normal battles. (Ex: Bowser Castle)
  • Optional enemies are fought in side areas or situations, like the Gauntlet, that are not required to advance the story. (Ex: Shroob, Durmite X, Dark Satellmite X)
• Location: The location in either world where the enemy is located.
• Level: The enemy's level. Mario and Luigi can easily overcome it if they match or exceed its level. For Bowser, the game considers him to be eight levels higher than he actually is for damage calculation and enemy progression.
• HP: The enemy's (maximum) hit points at the start of the battle.
• POW: The enemy's attack power, or POW.
• DEF: The enemy's defense power, or DEF.
• SPEED: The enemy's speed.
• Experience: The amount of experience points earned from defeating the enemy.
• Coins: The amount of coins dropped from the enemy.
• Fire: Amount of damage an enemy takes from fire attacks (normal, weak (0.5× damage), critical (1.5× damage), or immune).
• Status ailments: The enemy's resistances or weaknesses to status effects. Each move that can inflict a status effect has a chance attached to the move that is then modified by these enemy stats. Possible enemy values are Normal (1× rate), Double (2× rate), Half (0.5× rate) or Immune.
  • Burn: The modifier to the chance of inflicting burn to the enemy. Mario and Luigi can inflict this with the Fire Flower. Bowser can inflict this with his Flame attack as well as Goomba Storm and Magikoopa Mob.
  • Dizzy: The modifier to the chance of inflicting dizzy to the enemy. Mario and Luigi can sometimes inflict this with Hammer attacks, Jump attacks using the Dizzy Boots equipped, Super Bouncer, Spin Pipe, and Magic Window. Bowser can inflict this with Bob-omb Blitz and Broggy Bonker.
  • Stat down: The modifier to the chance of inflicting POW-Down/DEF-Down to the enemy. Mario and Luigi can inflict POW-Down with Jump attacks using the Shroob Boots, and Mighty Meteor. Mario and Luigi can inflict DEF-Down with Hammer attacks using the Softener Gloves (though due to an oversight, it raises the enemy's DEF), and Falling Star. Bowser has no method of inflicting these statuses.
  • KO: The modifier to the chance of inflicting an instant KO. Mario and Luigi can inflict an instant KO with Hammer attacks using the Bye-Bye Gloves, or with Hammer First Strikes using the Dent Gloves. Bowser has no method of inflicting an instant KO.
• Type: The enemy's position in the battle or features it has.
  • Grounded enemies can be hit by all types of attacks.
  • Spiked enemies cannot be hit by jump-type attacks. The Calorite has a fiery top that is functionally the same as spikes. For Mario and Luigi, this prevents Jump attacks, jump First Strikes, Jump Helmet, Spin Pipe, and Magic Window from dealing damage and deals 1 damage to the attacker.
  • Flying enemies cannot be hit by ground-based attacks. Some enemies may not actually be flying and instead are in a higher position in the battlefield (Dark Bowser's big form, the vulnerable Dark Star Core). For Mario and Luigi, this prevents Hammer attacks, Green Shell, and Snack Basket from dealing damage. For Bowser, this prevents Punch attacks, Flame attacks, missed Goombas in Goomba Storm, Koopa Corps, and Bob-omb Blitz from dealing damage.
• Item Drop: The item(s) that can be earned from defeating an enemy and their drop rates.
• Battled by: Who the enemy can be battled by (battled meaning that they are present on screen during the player's turn and are technically standalone enemies according to the game data). The choices are "Mario & Luigi", "Mario", "Bowser", "Giant Bowser" or "Anyone".

Note: Stats in gray are those found in the game's data and are unused or not available during "normal" gameplay.
