Shop Blocks are devices owned by Broque Monsieur in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. They are scattered throughout the Mushroom Kingdom, and provide a variety of services to Bowser. Their inventory increases gradually over the course of the game. When activated via a punch, the Shop Block plays a small jingle before Broque Monsieur appears on the monitor.

Their services consist of the following:

Prima Official Game Guide description[edit]

  • "As Bowser starts up the path to his castle, he comes across a yellow block—the same color yellow as Broque. This is a Shop Block that conveniently links directly back to Broque's store in Dimble Wood. Here, Bowser can stock up on useful items and Gear without having to hoof it all the way back to Dimble."
