Rank

Ranks are a game mechanic introduced in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. They are bestowed upon a character who reaches an appropriate level through leveling up. Each new rank confers benefits on the recipient.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Ranks work slightly differently in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team than in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Instead of set rewards, such as extra gear slots or shopping privileges, the player can choose a Rank-Up Bonus to give to Mario or Luigi upon reaching a new rank. Upon reaching Rainbow Rank, the player can choose two Rank-up Bonuses. This means that each Bro. has a maximum of five bonuses once the player reaches Level 40.

The Rank-Up Bonuses are the following:

Ranks in this game work similar to the one in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, but there are seven ranks for every character. Once again, for Rainbow Rank the player can choose two Rank-up Bonuses, which gives the player the limit of seven slots for bonuses per character after having reached the final rank.
