'''IDLE''' is a group of characters who appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. They are a team of four [[Concordia|Concordian]] children who all reside on [[Desolatt Island]], each with a yellow-orange band tied around a different part of their body. Its name is an acronym made up of the initials of their members:<ref name=NL>Nintendo Life (October 21, 2024). [https://youtu.be/AUxVdZkoAJw We've Played EVEN MORE Mario & Luigi: Brothership]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 21, 2024.</ref>

*[[Ireen]], a short, pink Concordian who wears her band as a hair bow and is the self-proclaimed leader of the group.
*[[Dulles]], a lanky green Concordian with his band tied around his antenna.
*[[Loog]], a short blue Concordian wearing his band as a scarf. He also proclaims himself as the leader of the group.
*[[Ellow]], a stocky yellow Concordian wearing his band as a cape.

[[Princess Peach]], [[Starlow]], and [[Dorrie]] join the group after the [[Color-Full Sea]] [[Great Lighthouse Island]] is relit; Peach wears her band around her right arm, and Dorrie wears one around its neck, but Starlow does not wear one.

At one point in the game, the four Concordian members ride a missile, piledriving it into the barrier surrounding the Color-Full Sea's Great Lighthouse. (Ellow holds the rocket directly, with the rest holding onto his back.) It is later revealed that they survived. The group also goes on scouting missions throughout the game.

Later in the game, the group has to be found, with their [[Bond]] being collected afterward. This Bond is one of the Bonds necessary for breaching the barrier that [[Reclusa]] sets up around the [[Soli-Tree]].
