Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey Game-Breaking Bug Squashed

A major problem in Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey has been fixed. Nintendo has released patch 1.1, which fixes a save bug that would keep people from progressing. After applying the update, people can save without fear at a specific point in the game.

Here are Nintendo’s official patch notes for version 1.1.

Version 1.1

The update will fix a gameplay issue.

• Depending on the event, sometimes the player got stuck on a certain map when controlling Luigi solo and trying to save the game progress by using the Save Block. The issue has been fixed.
• By downloading the update data, this issue will no longer occur.
• Also, if the issue has already occurred, it will be fixed so that the player can continue playing.

For people who are okay with a very vague explanation, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey has a point in the Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story campaign where Mario and Luigi are separated and the player controls Luigi. If you saved at a specific point in a wooded area, this issue would occur.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey is available for the Nintendo 3DS.
