'''''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''''' is an upcoming role-playing game set to be released worldwide for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on November 7, 2024. It is the sixth original installment in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series and its eighth installment overall, following the 2015 original title, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', and the 2018 remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', respectively. It marks the debut of ''Mario & Luigi'' on home consoles, and the debut of [[Kevin Afghani]] as the voice of the Mario brothers in this series. Another feature new to the series is the full implementation of 3D environments and character models, and a more artwork-accurate artstyle, which were seen previously in a limited capacity during the [[Giant Luigi|giant battles]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', the [[Papercraft|papercraft battles]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' and the [[Giant_Bowser#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|giant battles]] in the ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' remake.

The game's Japanese/English name is a pun on mothership but also refers to the relationship between [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. Notably, it is the first entry in the series to adopt the same naming convention in Japan as the localized releases, as past ''Mario & Luigi'' games were simply treated as numbered sequels there, or in the case of ''Paper Jam'', titled "''Mario & Luigi RPG Paper Mario MIX''".


First announced during the Nintendo Direct on June 18, 2024, ''Brothership'' is the first ''Mario & Luigi'' title to not be developed by [[AlphaDream]], which ceased operations immediately after filing for bankruptcy on October 1, 2019. However, several developers from AlphaDream who were originally involved in previous ''Mario & Luigi'' games return for the development of this game.<ref>{{cite|author=Brian(@NE_Brian)|date=June 22, 2024|url=https://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-says-some-of-the-original-mario-luigi-devs-are-working-on-brothership/|title=Nintendo says some of the original Mario & Luigi devs are working on Brothership|publisher=Nintendo Everything|language=english|accessdate=June 22, 2024}}</ref>

==Story==
==Story==
In the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Luigi]] is chased by a swarm of [[Bee|bees]] in a forest near [[Peach's Castle]], and accidentally runs off a cliff before [[Mario]] saves him. Afterwards, Mario and Luigi's hands begin to glow, and a large, bright portal materializes from them in the sky, which teleports the brothers away.<ref name=Trailer/>
In the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Luigi]] panics as he is being chased by a swarm of [[Bee|bees]] in a forest near [[Peach's Castle]], and accidentally runs off a cliff before [[Mario]] clings to save him. Afterwards, Mario and Luigi's hands begin to glow, and a mysterious vortex materializes above them which teleports the brothers away to a distant land named [[Concordia]].<ref name=Trailer/>


The game focuses on Mario and Luigi going on an adventure to restore peace to [[Concordia]] after a disaster caused the continent to separate into different islands. After finding herself beached on [[Shipshape Island]], [[Connie]] teams up with [[Snoutlet]] to grow a new [[Uni-Tree]] to connect the islands back together again.
Upon their arrival, after coming to their senses, they meet a local resident named [[Connie]], who explains to them the history of Concordia, the world in which [[Shipshape Island]] resides. The centre of Concordia used to house the great [[Uni-Tree]] that would connect the different districts of the land using energy known as [[Connectar]], but after an unfortunate and catastrophic event where the Uni-Tree was destroyed, the continent shattered and was separated into numerous islands. With the help of the brothers, a newly planted Uni-Tree, and a flying pig-like companion named [[Snoutlet]], the main objective is to reconnect the fractured islands back together again and restore Concordia to its former glory, with each unique island to explore.<ref name=Overview/>


The sea of the world of Concordia acts as the game's primary setting. Shipshape Island is a structure described as "part ship, part island" and is depicted as the main hub. Mario and Luigi are launched out of the Shipshape's cannon to explore distinct islands.<ref name=UKWebsite>[https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-Switch-games/Mario-Luigi-Brothership-2590264.html ''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''] official site, on ''Nintendo.com''.

''Mario & Luigi: Brothership'' introduces a mechanic where Luigi will come up with an idea for specific situations, indicated by an L-shaped exclamation point, known as [[Luigi Logic]]. Some can give him new abilities to use in the overworld to help Mario proceed, like squeezing through narrow gates, while others can be situational commands against bosses that can be used to land the finisher against them.<ref name=Overview/>

Shipshape Island serves as the hub for the game, having a shop, and a cannon that shoots Mario and Luigi to the different islands. Shipshape Island travels along currents on the seas, shown on the world map, and the player can find different islands depending on Shipshape Island's location. The island can travel on the map at regular speed, or at a faster speed. The player can still navigate on the island as it moves along the currents on the seas.<ref name=PhillyBeatzU/>
Shipshape Island serves as the hub for the game, having several shops, and a cannon that shoots Mario and Luigi to the different islands at sea. Shipshape Island travels along currents of the seas, shown on the [[Ocean Map]], accesed by examining the cannon, and the player can find and travel to different islands. On the Ocean Map, the player can choose which current to travel to, and the speed at which Shipshape Island moves, between regular and faster speeds by pressing {{button|switch|x}}. The player can still navigate on the island as it moves to its destination point.<ref name=PhillyBeatzU/>


The main objective on the islands is to find its [[Lighthouse (Mario & Luigi: Brothership)|Lighthouse]] and connect it to the Uni-Tree on Shipshape Island to reform Concordia. Each sea has its own [[Great Lighthouse]] that allow the player to discover more islands.
Some gears can be crafted by the player at the Workshop on Shipshape Island with some materials.<ref name=KindaFunnyGames>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A85LP7rJ-u0</ref> They are dropped by enemies, which is an item named after their respective island.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is an upcoming role-playing game set to be released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch on November 7, 2024. It is the sixth original instalment in the Mario & Luigi series and its eighth instalment overall, following the 2015 original title, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, and the 2018 remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, respectively. It marks the debut of Mario & Luigi on home consoles, and the debut of Kevin Afghani as the voice of the Mario brothers in this series. Another feature new to the series is the full implementation of 3D environments and character models, and a more artwork-accurate art style, which was seen previously in a limited capacity during the giant battles in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, the papercraft battles in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and the giant battles in the Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story remake. The game's Japanese/English name is a pun on mothership but also refers to the relationship between Mario and Luigi. Notably, it is the first entry in the series to adopt the same naming convention in Japan as the localized releases, as past Mario & Luigi games were simply treated as numbered sequels there, or in the case of Paper Jam, titled "Mario & Luigi RPG Paper Mario MIX".

First announced during the Nintendo Direct on June 18, 2024, Brothership is the first Mario & Luigi title to not be developed by AlphaDream, which ceased operations immediately after filing for bankruptcy on October 1, 2019. However, several developers from AlphaDream who were originally involved in previous Mario & Luigi games return for the development of this game.[11] The IP/copyright information for the game lists Acquire as the lead developer, known for their work on the Tenchu and Octopath Traveler series. The game was made using Unreal Engine.[12]

Story

In the Mushroom Kingdom, Luigi panics as he is being chased by a swarm of bees in a forest near Peach's Castle, and accidentally runs off a cliff before Mario clings to save him. Afterwards, Mario and Luigi's hands begin to glow, and a mysterious vortex materializes above them which teleports the brothers away to a distant land named Concordia.[10]

Upon their arrival, after coming to their senses, they meet a local resident named Connie, who explains to them the history of Concordia, the world in which Shipshape Island resides. The centre of Concordia used to house the great Uni-Tree that would connect the different districts of the land using energy known as Connectar, but after an unfortunate and catastrophic event where the Uni-Tree was destroyed, the continent shattered and was separated into numerous islands. With the help of the brothers, a newly planted Uni-Tree, and a flying pig-like companion named Snoutlet, the main objective is to reconnect the fractured islands back together again and restore Concordia to its former glory, with each unique island to explore.[13]

The sea of the world of Concordia acts as the game's primary setting. Shipshape Island is a structure described as "part ship, part island" and is depicted as the main hub. Mario and Luigi are launched out of the Shipshape's cannon to explore distinct islands.[14]

Gameplay

Mario & Luigi: Brothership introduces a mechanic where Luigi will come up with an idea for specific situations, indicated by an L-shaped exclamation point, known as Luigi Logic. Some can give him new abilities to use in the overworld to help Mario proceed, like squeezing through narrow gates, while others can be situational commands against bosses that can be used to land the finisher against them.[13]

Shipshape Island serves as the hub for the game, having several shops, and a cannon that shoots Mario and Luigi to the different islands at sea. Shipshape Island travels along currents of the seas, shown on the Ocean Map, accesed by examining the cannon, and the player can find and travel to different islands. On the Ocean Map, the player can choose which current to travel to, and the speed at which Shipshape Island moves, between regular and faster speeds by pressing X Button. The player can still navigate on the island as it moves to its destination point.[15]

Some gears can be crafted by the player at the Workshop on Shipshape Island with some materials.[16] They are dropped by enemies, which is an item named after their respective island.

The main objective on the islands is to find its Lighthouse and link it to the Uni-Tree on Shipshape Island to reform Concordia. Each sea has its own Great Lighthouse allowing the player to discover more islands.

Battle system

The battle system is similar to those in previous titles. Normal jump and hammer attacks now combine both brothers to execute when they are both up, called Attack Combos[17], reminiscent of Bros. Attack from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga or attacking with the babies from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time; if one of them is down, they return to attacking solo[18]. Emergency Guard[19] returns from Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and level ups still no longer have a bonus stat minigame. The Rank feature returns with similar rank bonuses.

Bros. Attacks

Mario
  • Red Shell: Costs 4 BP to use.[13]
  • Hatch Me if You Can: Costs 7 BP to use.[13]
  • Bomb Derby: Costs 10 BP to use.[19]
  • フラッシュクロック (Flash Clock): An attack where Mario uses a clock to stop time, then he and Luigi attack the enemies with their hammers repeatedly one after another, ending with a final strike from both bros at once. Costs 12 BP to use.[19]
Luigi
  • Green Shell: Costs 5 BP to use.
  • Zapperator[20][21]: Costs 7 BP to use; requires the player to alternate between the B Button and A Button buttons, then press the X Button button before a timer expires. Creates a thundercloud to strike all enemies on the battlefield several times.
  • Jump Helmet: Costs 9 BP to use.[19]
  • Yoo Who Cannon: Costs 12 BP to use.[19]
  • ミックストルネード (Mix Tornado): An attack where Mario and Luigi must throw fireballs and iceballs in a circle, then spin around to create a tornado that they can then control to catch enemies in. Costs 14 BP to use.[19]

Battle Plugs

A new battle feature in this game is Battle Plugs, it functions in a similar vein to the Badges or Battle Cards in previous Mario & Luigi games. It is a new action that can be performed in battle, allowing Mario and Luigi to set and swap Battle Plugs to boost them up without taking an action. Each one has a unique effect and can create combos with each other. They are crafted with Spark Balls[22] by collecting Sprite Bulbs.[15] When used, they last for a while based on charges and have to be recharged for an extended period based on turn counts. There is a limit on how many can be used at once, displayed by the number of sockets in the Battle Plug menu.

Special moves

Bros. Moves

  • UFOスピン (UFO Spin), a UFO-like move that allows Mario and Luigi to fly and reach farther areas[13]
  • A move where Mario and Luigi roll up into a ball, similar to the Bros. Ball[13]
  • ファイア&アイス (Fire & Ice), a move that turns Mario and Luigi into Fire Mario and Ice Luigi respectively[13]

These moves are accessed on a radial menu[43], with the UFO move on the right, the Ball move on the bottom, the Fire and Ice move on the left, and regular field abilities on the top.

  • Lushgreen Sea[13] (フォレストン海域[46] Foresuton-kaiiki)
  • Rumbla Island[13] (グラングラン島 Guranguran-jima): An island filled with lumpy, hard objects, including the sacred Rumbla Dish[17]. Objects made by the island's residents, who love to make things, are displayed throughout the island.
  • Twistee Island (ツイス島 Tsuisu-jima):[47] An island for tourism with abundant nature. A large tree called the "twiss tree" grows on the island and serves as its landmark.
  • Desolatt Island (サビレッタ島 Sabiretta-jima):[48] An island with various old buildings, with kidnapping birds frequently coming to the island and taking the island's inhabitants away.
  • Lottacoins Island (ゼニアレバー島, Zeniarebā-jima):[49] An urban island that has contributed to the economic development of Concordia.

Differences from other Mario & Luigi games

  • Mario and Luigi are shown to both participate with each other in regular Jump and Hammer attacks, using buttons that correspond with each brother as with Bros. Attacks.
  • Enemies have their health shown as health bars, beneath their name and level, when selected.
  • Characters now have more voice acting, with unique vocal samples given to NPCs during dialogue similar to the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.[13][33]
  • Upon initiating a battle, instead of Mario and Luigi just being in the battle, they run towards where the enemies are in battle.
  • Luigi does not need to be controlled directly to jump over steps in the overworld when following Mario. He can act independently from Mario on command using L Button, like stopping in place or doing something separately, unlike in previous games, where he always follows (or leads) Mario unless they are separated with field moves such as mini Mario.[24]
  • HP Up+ Rank-Up bonus only gives +1 HP per level up instead of 2.[15]
  • Jump and Hammer attack stats replace the POW stat in previous Mario & Luigi games.[15]
  • Spin Jumps has been replaced by the brothers turning into a UFO.
  • Wears have been moved to be part of the main gears like Boots and Hammers and are sold in the same type of shop, the maximum amount of accessory slots is lowered to two to compensate and there is only one Gear Slot+1 Rank-Up Bonus option available instead of two.[27]
  • Tutorial battles no longer have characters instructing the player on battle moves, as tip prompts in this game pop on the screen.[39]

Staff

This game marks the first time in the Mario & Luigi series where Yoko Shimomura is not involved as a composer, as Hideki Sakamoto has been confirmed to fill that role for the game instead.[53] Sakamoto previously worked on music arrangements for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and composed "Lifelight", the main theme of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
