List of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story gear

- This article is about the list of gear in the original Nintendo DS version of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. For the list of gear in the remake, see List of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey gear.
In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the gear mechanic is significantly different compared to its predecessors. There are several different gear types available: overalls, gloves, socks, boots, and accessories for Mario and Luigi, and shells, arm bands, rings, and fangs for Bowser. The maximum number of articles of gear that a character may equip is dependent on rank – three is the maximum, but two of a type of gear can never be equipped simultaneously. Since the function of badges has also been altered, most of badges' old functions are now applied to articles of gear.
