Stache (Horn for Bowser) is a unique statistic in the Mario & Luigi series, similar to Luck in other RPGs. It usually gives Mario, Luigi, Bowser, or Paper Mario better chances at getting a LUCKY hit in battle, increasing the damage of their attacks.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, it gives discounts to items bought at shops (down to half their usual price) and lets the Mario Bros. sell items at higher prices (up to 99% increase). Baby Mario and Baby Luigi also have this stat in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, despite not having mustaches.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, it affects the type of scratch card the player gets after purchasing items.

Since none of these features are present in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, the stat is used only for Lucky Hits in said game, while in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, it increases the chances of enemies dropping items after battle in addition to its effect from the previous game.[1]

Mario & Luigi: Brothership, like Dream Team, only uses the stat for lucky hits. This stat can be increased through level ups (in Superstar Saga / + Bowser's Minions, Bowser's Inside Story / + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Partners in Time, Dream Team, Paper Jam, and Brothership), Teehee Blends and Teeheespressos (only in Superstar Saga / + Bowser's Minions), and Stache/Flex Beans (introduced in Dream Team).

Mario & Luigi: Brothership introduces the STACHE-Up status effect, which increases STACHE during battle for better LUCKY chances.
