Bonus Card

Bonus Cards, originally known as Scratch Cards, are a bonus feature in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. They allow the Mario Bros. or Bowser to get a refund for some of the coins they spent back when shopping. A higher Stache or Horn stat affects the odds of winning.
