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]]. 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.

A similar menu appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', though they are just referred to as the "menu" in those games.
