Page 23.</ref> is a [[minigame]] hosted by [[Bink]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. In the ''[[S.S. Chuckola]]'', [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are trying to find one of the pieces of the [[Beanstar]] that made its way into the ship. They notice a sailor taking the Beanstar piece into another room. However, a guard permits no entry unless the brothers can get a [[Membership Card (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Membership Card]], explaining the cellar is too important as it contains all of the ship's [[Chuckola Cola (Mario & Luigi series)|Chuckola Cola]]. In another room, a skeleton named [[Bink]] offers them a job of pushing barrels, as a minigame. | ||
The minigame has a field of red and blue barrels in a 6x6 grid. The objective is to slide the barrels so that an entire row or column is only one color, with the time limit of three minutes. The player uses {{button|Padleft}} and {{button|Padright}} on {{button|gba|Pad}} to move Mario, and {{button|Padup}} and {{button|Paddown}} to move Luigi. To slide the barrels, while holding {{button|gba|A}}, the player pushes {{button|Padup}} and {{button|Paddown}} to move Mario's columns, and {{button|Padleft}} and {{button|Padright}} to move Luigi's rows. When an entire line is cleared, the brothers earn one point, and can earn more points for each additional line cleared, with four points for two lines, and eight points for three lines, and even sixteen for four lines. As lines are cleared, Bink will throw in more barrels into the field for Mario and Luigi to work with. As the Bros. clear more lines, yellow barrels will be on the field along with the blue and red ones, and even green barrels should they clear even more lines. | The minigame has a field of red and blue barrels in a 6x6 grid (in the remake, they also have patterns on their top areas).

Upon completion of the minigame with ten points or more, Bink gives the Mario Bros. a Membership Card, and the Bros. go back to the guard, who lets them pass. The player can play this game as much as they like before the ''S.S. Chuckola'' sets sail and becomes permanently inaccessible. It becomes available again in the [[Little Fungitown]] arcade, however, and can be played to earn Hee Beans. | Upon completion of the minigame with ten points or more, Bink gives the Mario Bros. a Membership Card, and the Bros. go back to the guard, who lets them pass.
