The '''Border Bros.'''<ref>"''Well said, little Border Bro! Anyway, we'll be nice and let you practice first. Sound good?''" Border Jump explanation, ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''</ref> are the [[Hammer Bro]]s. that guard [[Stardust Fields|Beanbean Borderland]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. In order to pass into the Beanbean territory, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] must complete the Border Bros.' game of [[Border Jump]], which is basically [[jump]]ing across a rope.


The player must avoid hitting the rope three times with either character or he or she must restart the challenge. After beating them, Mario and Luigi have the option to come back and challenge them again, but the game is harder every time the brothers beat it. Replaying Border Jump earns them more [[Bean|Hee Bean]]s.
The player must avoid hitting the rope three times with either character, or they have to restart the challenge. After beating the Border Bros.' challenge, Mario and Luigi have the option to come back and challenge them again, but the game is harder every time the Mario Bros. beat it. Replaying the Border Jump earns them more [[Bean|Hee Bean]]s. Before they continue on with their adventure, the older Border Bro gives them the [[Beanbean Map]].


One of them wears a red flag atop his helmet while the other wears a blue one; although the Border Bros.' names are unknown, it is confirmed that the one clad in the blue-flagged helmet is the younger of them. Also, the Border Bros. seem to have known Mario and Luigi from somewhere before their encounter at the Beanbean Borderlands.
One of the Border Bros. wears a red flag atop his helmet, while the other wears a blue one; although the Border Bros.' names are unknown, it is confirmed that the one clad in the blue-flagged helmet is the younger of them. They are larger than regular Hammer Bros. and more closely resemble [[Sledge Bro]]s. Due to their shape and the flags atop their heads, they may be a reference to {{wp|Tweedledum and Tweedledee}} from ''{{wp|Through the Looking-Glass}}''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The final Border Jump stage is titled Super Border Jump Sunshine, which is a reference to the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] game ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.
*During the Border Bros.' first tutorial of Border Jump, if Mario jumps when they command Luigi to jump, a Border Bro will tell Mario to "give the 'Jumpman' thing a rest." This references "Jumpman," an alternate name for Mario used in the arcade release of ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''.
*During the Border Bros.' first tutorial of Border Jump, if Mario jumps when they command Luigi to jump, a Border Bro will tell Mario to "give the 'Jumpman' thing a rest". This is one of the many contemporary ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' references to "Jumpman", Mario's original name used in the Japanese version of ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''.
*The poster to the back of the room depicts the ending part of a level from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and after the Mario Bros. pass a round, the poster animates and [[fireworks]] explode, just like in the game. Additionally, during the jumping game, a cover of the original theme plays.
*The Border Brothers, along with the [[Hammerhead Bros.]], and the [[Starshade Brothers]] are some of the very few characters from the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] that actually know Luigi's name. Most others just call him "Green Mario Guy" or something similar.
