In the remake, ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', specifically in the alternate story mode ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', it was revealed that the reason why E. Gadd created the franchise was so it would act as secondary funding for his ghost research, which he mindlessly admitted to an already-departed [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] and his soldiers while rambling. In addition, the number of beans required per blend have been reduced, while also reducing the effect of each blend.

Starbeans Cafe is a shop in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its 3DS remake. It is located in Beanbean Castle Town. The shop's Beanbean Machine[1] utilizes a special StarB System in which customers bring various beans to expand the menu with freshly-made Bean Juice.[2] Each drink boosts a different stat permanently and requires a certain number of beans. The "cafe's owner"[3] mixes drinks at the cost of the customer's beans, although the actual owner of the establishment is Professor E. Gadd.

There are seven different flavors of Bean Juice to create. Making each one for the first time is accompanied by a cutscene featuring E. Gadd. Wario, Fox McCloud, Link, Captain Olimar, Samus Aran, and an Excitebike Racer were originally planned to appear in these cutscenes as cameo appearances, whereas E. Gadd was only supposed to appear once. If all seven drinks are made at least once, E. Gadd will put up a picture of himself next to the counter for the remainder of the game. In the Japanese version of the game and all versions of its remake, icons appear next to drinks the player has already made on the drink menu.

The name of the cafe itself is based on the real-life Starbucks chain of coffee shops. The Prima Games guide for the game calls the establishment "a" Starbeans, further connecting it to the restaurant franchise.[4] Three of the drinks served at the cafe have names based on real varieties of coffee: the Hoolumbian, Chuckoccino, and Teeheespresso are named for the Colombian, cappuccino, and espresso coffees respectively.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, the number of beans required per blend is lower, but the effect of each blend has also been reduced. In the Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser campaign, it is revealed that E. Gadd created Starbeans as secondary funding for his ghost research. E. Gadd mindlessly admitted this while rambling to Captain Goomba and his soldiers, who had already left.
