Hoohoo Mountain is a large mountain in the Beanbean Kingdom that the Mario Bros. visit in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. The mountain is primarily inhabited by the Hoohooligans on bridges near a giant waterfall. Their ancient civilization can be seen throughout the mountain, including their jokes inscribed on the rock walls (in Hooroglyphs), their weapon Hoohooros, and the watering holes (used by Mario to become Pump Mario). At the summit lives Blablanadon, a talking pterosaur.

Plot

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

The Mario Bros. come here after learning they need a Hoohoo Block to have the Hammerhead Bros. make the Bros. their Hammers, which can only be found on the summit. Around the halfway point of the mountain, the Bros. are confronted by Hoohooros, who challenges the Mario Bros. to a mini game. After the game, Hoohooros challenges them to a battle. After the Bros. win, Hoohooros, impressed with the Bros.' skill, allows them to pass. At the top of the mountain, they find the Hoohoo Block, though it falls off the mountain into the Hammerhead Bros.' house. They also find at the top the missing Blablanadon, who is sitting on an egg and explains that he saw Prince Peasley go up this mountain, leading Blablanadon to follow him. Blablanadon then found the egg and has been keeping it warm until it hatches. The egg then hatches and produces Dragohoho, sending Blablanadon flying and attacking the Bros. After defeating Dragohoho, it transforms into Prince Peasley, who explains that he was on a top secret mission when he discovered Cackletta and her subordinate Fawful climbing up the mountain. Peasley was then turned into Dragohoho by Cackletta. Blablanadon then flies the Bros. to Hoohoo Village.

Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser

After the Koopa Cruiser crashes, Captain Goomba crash lands into a cave on Hoohoo Mountain. Captain Goomba then leaves the cave and realizes he is on a mountain. He spots Bowser flying off after the explosion, and goes to follow him. After an encounter with some Beanies, he finds a group of fellow Goombas, which nominate him captain of their group. He then encounters some Hammer Bros. with the Hammerhead Bros., who are discussing their shared love of hammers. Captain Goomba accepts an offer to face them in battle in order to recruit them. The group then encounters Paragoombas claiming Bowser's minions are "their mortal enemies." After they too are defeated, they revert to normal and detail how Fawful hypnotized them with a spray, and seems to have captured Bowser. Captain Goomba next encounters Lemmy and Ludwig, who dismiss his story and ignore his warnings. He then encounters Fawful directly, when Private Goomp arrives and challenges him, telling Captain Goomba to stay back. Fawful sprays the both of them, and while Captain Goomba is unaffected, Private Goomp is brainwashed and fights Captain Goomba's group. After Private Goomp's defeat, Fawful blasts them both off and departs with Bowser. After a brief talk with a Hoohooligan, Captain Goomba jumps off a bridge towards the base of the mountain, when he bounces off an offscreen object. After this, a Lakitu informs them that Bowser has been sighted. They find Bowser and give chase but have to fight massive hordes of enemies. Once all of the enemies are defeated, they search Hoohoo Village for Bowser. A Hoohooligan reveals that Bowser got hit by a "strange rock" (which was actually Captain Goomba) and then followed a "food thief".

Items

Given

Item	Location	Image	Image (Remake)
Hee Bean	Can be obtained by playing the Mysterious Mine Carts. The amount depends on which level was played.
Peasley's Rose	On top of the mountain, given by Prince Peasley to Mario Bros. for rescuing him. Required to progress.

Beanholes

Every Beanhole contains one Chuckle Bean.

Location	Image	Image (Remake)
In the second area from entrance, the beanhole is at the lowest elevated ground.
In the same area, the Bros. should fall off of the bottom-right of the topmost ledge to reach a dark alcove; there is a hidden bean in the ledge's shadow.
In the third area, with the giant waterfall, the player should take the northwest path, work their way to the west, then up, then east, and east again with the beanhole at the dead end.
In the third area, with the giant waterfall, the player should take the northern stairs and keep walking east behind the waterfall until they reach the exposed location of the beanhole.
At the Hoohooros Gate, the beanhole is located in the southeastern corner.
In the same area, Mario must hammer Luigi in the large plant/the spot found on the northeastern ledge to uncover a bean.
In the area north of the Hoohooros Gate, the beanhole is located high up in front of some tall spikes in the west. From the east, the player must go up the stairs, Spin Jump west to the platform, then again to the smaller one, then High Jump their way north to the beanhole.
In the next screen, this beanhole is located on the low ground, in an alcove underneath the whirlwind. Also, Mario must hammer Luigi in the northwestern corner of the recessed area east of the beanhole to uncover another bean.
In the area before the summit, the player must work their way up to the stairs, then drop down from the stairs to find the beanhole in the corner.
At the summit, the beanhole is located in the northwestern corner.
From Hoohoo Village, the player must work their way south to the area where the Mysterious Mine Carts mini-game is, but should instead go east down the stairs to the next area, past the giant bridge and immediately south to the low ground.
In the room with the Mysterious Mine Carts mini-game, there is a bean hidden under the light pink mushroom on the wall/in the spot under the lamp.
From the Mysterious Mine Carts mini-game exit in the south, the player must go east, up the stairs to the north then all the way to the Boo Statue -- the beanhole is southwest of it.
By pushing the Boo statue and creating a bridge to the east, the player should go to the next area to find the beanhole near the door. Alternatively, with the Super Hammers, the player should break the gray boulders from a cave in Hoohoo Village, then go to the cave that connects Hoohoo Village to the mountain's base.

Notes

• In the E3 2003 demo of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Hoohoo Mountain is given the rough translation of "Ufu Mountain". Additionally, the sign that reads "Hoohoo Mountain Trail" instead reads "Ufu Mountain Trail". This text remains unused in the final game.
• In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, a Shelltop in Dozing Sands references Hoohoo Mountain in a song he sings while working. Additionally, a Hooski in Pi'illo Castle's hotel references it, saying he prefers sleeping on "a Hoohoo Mountain rock" rather than their soft beds.
• Peach's Castle can be seen in the background from the summit of the mountain in the original game.
