==Description==
==Description==
Each member of the Extension Corps is based on a different type of electrical connector, which is reflected by their collective name, a pun on "extension cord". In the game's announcement trailer, the purple member attacks [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] with an electrical orb in battle.
Each member of the Extension Corps is based on a different type of electrical connector, which is reflected by their collective name, a pun on "extension cord". [[Ecks]] can float, is magenta in color and wears a yellow cape with arms that resemble coaxial cables. [[Ten]] resembles a headphone jack composed of his head resembling a male connector and one of his arms resembling a female connector. His design is invocative of a stereotypical delinquent in Japanese culture. The third one is named [[Shun]] whose body resembles a VGA connector.  


The Extension Corps share many similarities to the [[Best Fitness Friends]] from the ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' side mode of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', and have a similar eye design to [[Antasma]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', the [[Dark Star]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', and [[Princess Shroob]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.

The Extension Corps are the lieutenants of Zokket's army, Zok Troops, and the secondary antagonists in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The trio consists of Ecks, Ten, and Shun,[1] and their names are a pun on the word "extension."

Description

Each member of the Extension Corps is based on a different type of electrical connector, which is reflected by their collective name, a pun on "extension cord". Ecks can float, is magenta in color and wears a yellow cape with arms that resemble coaxial cables. Ten resembles a headphone jack composed of his head resembling a male connector and one of his arms resembling a female connector. His design is invocative of a stereotypical delinquent in Japanese culture. The third one is named Shun whose body resembles a VGA connector.

The Extension Corps share many similarities to the Best Fitness Friends from the Bowser Jr.'s Journey side mode of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, and have a similar eye design to Antasma from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, the Dark Star from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, and Princess Shroob from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

Unlike other members of the Zok Troops who were artificially created, the Extension Corps existed prior to Zokket and were recruited by him on Slippenglide Island.
