- “Want to Barrel?”
- —Bink, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
The Barrel game is a minigame hosted by Bink in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. In the S.S. Chuckola, Mario and Luigi had to retrieve 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, explaining the cellar is too important as it contain all of the ship's Chuckola Cola. In another room, a skeleton named Bink who looks surprisingly like Donkey Kong offers them a job of pushing barrels, as a minigame.
The minigame has a field of colored barrels of red and blue in a 7 x 7 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 
and 
on 
to move Mario, and 
and 
to move Luigi. To slide the barrels, while holding 
, the player pushes and to move Mario's columns, and and 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.
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.
Trivia
- If the Mario Bros. score many lines at the same time, a small skeletal Chain Chomp will peek out from behind the crates on the bottom-right corner of the screen.
