The button in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Buttons[1] appear as objects in every game of the Mario & Luigi series. Whenever they are pressed, usually via a hammer, an event occurs in the immediate area. Buttons usually cannot be deactivated.

Buttons first appear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, throughout various locations in the Beanbean Kingdom. They function as switches with numerous purposes, each one revealed when the button is hit. This usually results in opening nearby gates, doors, or other barriers, though occasionally nearby elements in the environment are affected, such as having a barrel appear.

Buttons return in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, functioning in the same manner. They can now be struck and activated with anyone's hammer, and they are usually meant to help the player progress when activated.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, peculiar buttons known as Nubbins appear commonly throughout Bowser's body, and they function in the same way as regular buttons, typically triggering some sort of event or unlocking a nearby area.
