'''A Big Debate''' is a [[List of Mario & Luigi: Brothership side quests|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 [[Bean|Bros. Bean]] and two [[Max Mushroom]]s.

==Side quest==
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.

==In-game description==
*"''Some women are gathering secretly. What could they be discussing?''"
*"''Destination: '''Shipshape Island'''<br>Listen in on the group conversation.''"
*"''You were chased away from a secretive group discussion. You're not supposed to listen in, but...''"
*"''Destination: '''Shipshape Island'''<br>Try listening in...quietly?''"

==Gossips's dialogue==
The following quotes are from the Gossips if they are spoken to while the side quest is available.

*"''Did you know there are some girls who love a good debate? Apart from us, I mean.''"
*"''What could they be talking about? Whatever it is, how cute! Reminds me of us not too long ago!''"
*"''Did you want to get into a debate about heroes? For old time's sake?''"
*"''No, no, no... That type of thing is in my past. Now I like to focus on dishing the latest dirt!''"
*All three: "''Ohohohoho!''"
*"''Those girls headed off to the beach, didn't they? In deep-debate mode?''"
*"''Tee-hee-hee! Oh, to be young! And so full of opinions!''"
*"''Shall we try to hear their debate?''"
*All three: "''What a notion! Ohohohoho!''"
*"''Looks like the girls who like to debate have gone to the beach.''"
