- “Anyone not involved in the debate should leave! Do not get close and listen in. It's a breach of etiquette. And it's not cool.”
- —Technikki, Mario & Luigi: Brothership
A Big Debate is a side quest in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. In this quest, Mario and Luigi must listen in on a private conversation involving Princess Peach, Starlow, Ireen and Technikki.
A Big Debate becomes available after linking Skorcheen Island and Slippenglide Island, and expires Burnadette and Chilliam's wedding. Clearing the side quest awards a Bros. Bean and two Max Mushrooms.
Side quest[edit]
To start the side quest, Mario and Luigi must speak with Princess Peach, Starlow, Ireen and Technikki, all in a group on Shipshape Island. When spoken to, they worry that someone may be listening in their private discussion, and they all move to the beach. When talked to at the beach, they notice Mario and Luigi and push them away. Snoutlet the has the idea to listen in on the girls' debate quietly from a distance. During the discussion, they all discuss fashion, with even the Gossips and Birdo joining in.
When the debate ends, Mario, Luigi and Snoutlet come out from humdinger and celebrate with them all, much to the annoyance of Ireen, who orders the girls to leave with her. Starlow stays behind to scold the three for listening in on the conversation even though they were told not to. Afterwards, she tells the three that the girls have all got them something (the quest reward) and excitedly proclaims that the next debate should be about Mario and Luigi's fashion. Starlow flies away, and the side quest is complete.

Gossips' dialogue[edit]
The following quotes are from the Gossips if they are spoken to while the side quest is available.
- Yellow gossip: "Did you know there are some girls who love a good debate? Apart from us, I mean."
- Pink gossip: "What could they be talking about? Whatever it is, how cute! Reminds me of us not too long ago!"
- Blue gossip: "Did you want to get into a debate about heroes? For old time's sake?"
- Pink gossip: "No, no, no... That type of thing is in my past. Now I like to focus on dishing the latest dirt!"
- All three: "Ohohohoho!"
If the player speaks to them again, the above conversation is skipped and only one line of dialogue is said.
