The '''Star Menu''' is the menu in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. It consists of six options: Items, [[Gear]], Info, [[Badges]], Specials, and [[Map]]. The options are outlined in stars, hence the name Star Menu. The player can also view play time and, when it becomes available, the Badge Meter. The Star Menu is accessed by pressing the Start button. [[Starlow]] explains how to use it, and runs it afterward.

The '''star menu''' is a menu that first appeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', replacing [[Stuffwell]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' and the [[suitcase]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Here, the player can select a total of six options aligned by stars (hence the menu's name), view the amount of [[coin]]s they currently have, view the current play time (this is not present in the remake), and, when it becomes available, the [[badge]] meter. In the remake, the player can also check the settings to switch between Normal and [[Easy Mode]].


==Names in Other Languages==
The star menu is accessed by pressing {{button|ds|start}}. [[Starlow]] explains how to use it once the player frees [[Luigi]] in the [[Trash Pit]] and defeats the two [[Goombule]]s right after freeing him, and runs it afterward throughout the rest of the game.
