The Joint Tower is a location within Bowser's body in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake. It is located in Bowser's right leg.

Mario, Luigi and Starlow come to this place after exiting the Energy Hold because it is undergoing unusual conditions. Mario and Luigi, confused, sit and wonder what is going on. Toadbert then enters the room, saying that if the brothers activate Bowser's pressure points, he may be able to do a Body Slam. Once the Mario Bros. activate his pressure points by Spin Jumping near a wheel-shaped bone and drilling into the activated pressure points, Bowser gains the Body Slam ability, which is used to get out of the Tower of Yikk.

Prima Official Game Guide description[edit ]

  • "Once Mario and Luigi have the Star Cure, they can leave the Energy Hold. However, before putting Bowser back in the driver's seat, they must report to the Joint Tower. Here is where Bowser's Body Slam attack is instigated. Some trouble in the joints has kept Bowser from being able to use this shell-slamming move, though. The Bros. must use the Spin Jump move on the bone screw in the upper-right corner of the room. This loosens the joints a little, but Mario and Luigi must still stimulate the area to restore the move to Bowser."
