Starbeans Cafe
The Starbeans Café is a coffeehouse in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga owned by Professor E. Gadd. It is located in Beanbean Castle Town. Mario and Luigi bring Beans here to make stat-boosting coffee. Each coffee boosts a different stat permanently and requires a certain number of Beans.
The Coffees
- Woohoo Blend – For 25 Woo Beans, this coffee boosts a character's HP by 4.
- Hoohoo Blend – 25 Hoo Beans result in a coffee that raises a character's BP by 4.
- Chuckle Blend – By grinding 25 Chuckle Beans, the Bros. can make a coffee that raises Speed by 4.
- Teehee Blend – If 25 Hee Beans are put in the machine, the result is a coffee that boosts Stache points by 4.
- Hoolumbian – By combining 15 Woo Beans and 10 Hoo Beans, this coffee can raise Power by 4.
- Chuckoccino – 15 Woo Beans and 10 Chuckle Beans make a coffee that raises Defense by 4.
- Teeheespresso – The most powerful coffee is made with 15 Woo Beans and 10 Hee Beans. It raises a random stat by 6 points.
Professor E. Gadd's Accessories
Every time a coffee is mixed that hasn't been made before, Professor E. Gadd will come and give the brothers an Accessory, usually coupled with a humorous scene. Accessories are extra items that can be equipped in addition to Clothes and Badges. Like Clothes and Badges, each character can only equip one Accessory.
There are 7 coffees, and thus, 7 Accessories that can be equipped to Mario or Luigi. They are given out in a set order, listed below, regardless of the order the drinks are made. With the exception of the Excite Spring, Power Grip, and Cobalt Necktie, every Accessory takes effect to both characters, as long as the characters are together.
- Greed Wallet – Doubles the coins received from beating enemies.
- Bonus Ring – If no damage is taken in a battle, doubles the EXP the brothers receive.
- Excite Spring – By holding the Jump button while defending, that character will float in the air for a little, making evading/countering enemies easier.
- Great Force – Doubles the damage given and received.
- Power Grip – By holding the Hammer button while defending, that character will never drop the Hammer, making countering enemies easier.
- Cobalt Necktie – Doubles Stache Points.
- Game Boy Horror SP – Always get rare items after defeating enemies. (Note: Not all enemies carry items.)
If a coffee is made that has already been made before, or if the brothers have received all 7 Accessories, they can still continue to make coffee, but only the drink is received.
Trivia
- The name is based off the famous Starbucks on Earth.
- Wario, Fox, Link, Captain Olimar, Samus and even an Excitebiker were each planned to make appearances and taste drinks, while Professor E. Gadd was only planned to appear once. E. Gadd's role was expanded at the last minuteTemplate:Refneeded; however, each gift still has a relevant link to each character. (Wario = Greed Wallet, etc.)
- In the Japanese version of the game, icons appear next to drinks Mario and Luigi already made on the drink menu.
