'''Border Jump''' is a [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. The Border Jump is hosted by the [[Border Bro]]s in a small tower in the [[Stardust Fields|Beanbean Borderlands]], the border between the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] and the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], lying at the [[Stardust Fields]]. The Border Jump tests [[Mario]]'s and [[Luigi]]'s jumping skills. They have to jump over a rope while the Border Bros twirl and swing the rope in every direction. Mario and Luigi have three lives each in this minigame, and must complete it to progress through the game.

The '''Border Jump''' is a [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. Its name is a play on an expression referring to illegally crossing borders. The Border Jump is hosted by the [[Border Bro]]s. in a small tower in [[Stardust Fields|Beanbean Borderland]], the border between the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] and the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], lying at [[Stardust Fields]]. The Border Jump tests [[Mario]]'s and [[Luigi]]'s [[jump]]ing skills. They have to jump over a rope, referred to as the "royal Border Line," while the Border Bros. twirl and swing it in every direction. Mario and Luigi have three lives each in this minigame, and they must complete it to progress through the game.
If the brothers return to the tower, the Border Bros will ask them to play a more difficult version of Border Jump, '''Border Jump 2''', which upon completing will allow them to play '''Super Border Jump''', then '''Super Border Jump Sunshine'''. When the latter is beaten, the brothers can then choose which level of Border Jump to play. Should they choose "No" if asked to play, the Border Bros will offer them to play '''Complete Border Jump''', which is made up of the four previous challenges and not chosen from the level selection. After the first mandatory play of the first Border Jump game, Mario and Luigi can win [[Bean|Hee Bean]]s by playing it thereafter.
