"BACK TO ADVENTURE!"

- Stuffwell

Stuffwell is a supporting character in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. He is a living suitcase invented by Professor E. Gadd to aid Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi throughout their journey by storing their possessions, including their Items, Clothing, Badges, and Beans, as well as their collected Cobalt Star shards, fulfilling the role of the suitcase from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. His name is based on the words "stuff well", likely due to him being a suitcase.

Stuffwell is able to assist the brothers throughout their adventure by storing their items and gear, as well as providing hints and basic tutorials, along with various other uses, such as using himself as protective padding and using his Warpulator. Stuffwell has a noticeably extensive vocabulary, which he often uses in dialogue, along with many false, technological terms such as "Splendiferous" and "Explanification".

Stuffwell can be opened at any time during exploration by pressing START, allowing the bros. to view their current items, gear, and stats. He can then be closed by pressing a dependent number of times or by simply pressing START again.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Shortly after Mario and Luigi fall into the time hole in the garden at Peach's Castle, Stuffwell appears, having been sent by Professor E. Gadd to help them during their adventure. After introducing himself to Mario and Luigi, and explaining briefly how he can be opened, he joins them, shortly before the time hole disappears. While going through Hollijolli Village, Stuffwell provides many basic tutorials which involve jumping, attacking, avoiding enemy attacks, and using items.

When Mario and Luigi reach Hollijolli Village, they discover it to be under attack, and are themselves attacked by a group of Shroobs. They are later rescued by the babies and are taken aboard the Koopa Cruiser. However, after receiving a transmission from Princess Shroob, they are shot down by a Shroob Missile, causing them to crash into Baby Bowser's Castle and become separated from the rest of the group, including Baby Bowser, Baby Peach, and Toadsworth the Younger.

The adult bros. are able to find the babies in a nearby room, where they are on a beam. They are able to convince Baby Luigi to come down by using Stuffwell as a protective cushion. Shortly after the brothers are reunited, Stuffwell teaches another tutorial explaining how to travel while piggybacking. It is also here that Stuffwell provides other tutorials, such as attacking and using Bros. Items as a group of four, along with an optional tutorial regarding Simu-Blocks. As they go farther into the castle, they find their first Cobalt Star shard, which Stuffwell decides to show to the professor. They proceed to do so, after locating both Toadsworth the Younger and a time hole in the last room of the castle.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Stuffwell also makes a cameo appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a sticker. The sticker can be used in The Subspace Emissary on any fighter to increases the chances of trophies appearing.
