** The Shy Guys roll him up in a ball, and since he isn't Limber enough at the time, he needs to be slingshotted in order to move. Once he IS able to move as a ball, he doesn't because the slingshot gives more force than rolling into the enemies.

** Here's my question. Let's say Bowser can do whatever the Bros. can when inside himself. What happens if he uses the Rump command and becomes giant INSIDE HIMSELF?

** He hears Starlow's voice in the immediately adjacent conversation, and his response is to call her almost as annoying as Chippy. He simply hasn't put the facts together yet, which will become more clear once he sees her (along with Mario, Green Stache and everyone else) popping out of his mouth. (It also helps that Starlow refused his help at the beginning, while Chippy has asked for it [[StopHelpingMe to the point of annoyance]].)

** Most stories about sealing an ancient evil come mention that outright destroying it wasn't an option through one way or another. In this one, even with a weakened star it was pretty much invulnerable until you started hitting it with pieces of itself. After that you hurt it after it's power is split and it's unleashing it's power which you could hand wave as a trading defense for offense sort of deal. As for the location, really there's just no such thing as a safe place to hide a SealedEvilInACan period in any story ever. Fawful was able to turn both the Mushroom Kingdom and Bowser's Kingdom upside down on his own, there's aren't really many more places you could put the thing any safer.

* Why did the Star Sprites not bother to destroy the Dark Star or hide it somewhere safer, or are the ancients stupid to not even think about what happens in the future.

** Maybe it was too powerful for the ancient Star Sprites to destroy, and weakened in the present by its long slumber.

** It would lead to Bowser being trapped inside himself (possibly [[AndIMustScream permanently]], completely seperated from the rest of reality. Kind of like how [[{{Futurama}} the universe box would work]], except replace "box" with Bowser's outer body and "universe" with Bowser's interior. The real question is what would happen if he was killed while inside of himself.

Added DiffLines:

* When you first unlock the Pipe Yard area, it's blocked off by a red pipe that's too high to jump over. At some point in the game, the pipe is broken, allowing the Bros. to proceed. The pipe doesn't go anywhere once it's been broken, Mario and Luigi can't reach the top before said pipe is snapped, and there aren't any other red pipes in the overworld. Where would red pipe have gone?

*** Okay, OP of the "get rid of his vacuum ability" post...wrote that a while back before Dream Team. [[spoiler: [[{{HarsherInHindsight}} I didn't expect that Bowser still had that ability right before the final boss, when he used it to inhale the Dream Stone's pieces...]]]]

*When you're chasing [[spoiler: Wisdurm for the Star Cure]],, when you reach the boo barrier it crawls under, Luigi falls into the mucus. and he come back to mario's location that contains pits only crossable by the spin jump, which requires both bros. How?

* So when you finally recieve the Miracle Cure, Dr.Toadley metions that he's sure it will destroy the barriers blocking the path, but he doesnt know if it can defeat [[spoiler: the Dark Star]]. This however ends up irrelevant since [[spoiler:the Miracle Cure is never heard from again after you destroy he barriers]], odd.

Possible theory why Bowser doesn\'t instantly recognize Starlow as Chippy.

** Well, when you're stuck inside of someone, expect your voice to be a bit muffled-sounding and distorted. Or hear it through your bones like your own voice.
