For Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey, artwork of Bowser from the original Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story was redrawn with an open mouth and slightly different proportions. This animation shows the differences between the two.

The data of Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story contains an unused, but still functional item called “DUMMY”, which uses a unique sprite similar to that of a Life Shroom from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
If the game’s code is modified to put the item into the player’s inventory, we can see that it is used for a very specific scenario: while fighting enemies that Bowser has inhaled, Mario and Luigi can use a “DUMMY” to restore 60HP to Bowser. The item is thrown upwards and explodes, while Bowser plays a satisfied animation as he recovers HP. In the finished game, there is no way for Mario and Luigi to restore Bowser’s HP.

During a cutscene in the Bowser Jr.’s Journey mode of Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey, two Fly Guys each drop a Bob-omb. Due to an oversight, one of the Bob-ombs (the one next to the right edge of the screen in the footage) has no idle animation and is completely motionless from the moment it is dropped until the scene is over.

Artwork of Luigi from Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story was updated for the release of Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey.
