Meanwhile the entire island falls asleep and Dream Orbs, orbs created by thous who sleep, are absorbed into the Dream Stone to power it. Mario suggests to cause a eruption in the Dream Worlds volcano to stir Luigi awake to re-open the Dream Portal. Upon reaching the summit the Bros. discover the Volcano is alive and anger it by popping a pimple on its nose. The Volcano's reaction sends the Bros. back to where the Dream Portal was but it hasn't re-appeared leaving the Bros. to face the Volcano resulting in another Giant Luigi battle. After beating the Volcano the Dream Portal re-appears and Mario returns to the real world. Starlow & Dreambert discuss there next plan of action and decide to hide Princess Peach as that would be Bowser's target and head back to Pi'illo Castle.

At the crater of Mount Pajamaja the Dream Stone is finished charging and Antasma makes the first wish. Antasma wish's for a Castle for him and Bowser, one that is impenetrable and also one that is feared, and a large castle, a mix between Bowser's and Antasma's designs, comes out of the Dream Stone and floats in to the sky. Antasma then tries out the castle and destroys several small islands around Pi'illo island with large lasers. Then a large shield surrounds the castle. Antasma then offers Bowser the next wish. When the Bros. arrive at Pi'illo Castle they find every one in panic and soon learn what the first wish was for. They decide to find Princess Peach and protect her and find out she's at Driftwood Shore. When they arrive they are told to go see Broque Madame who has disguised Peach and Toadsworth as Block people. It is suggested that Peach should be hidden in the Dream World from Bowser. The Bros. meet Popple again who is on a tour but still can't find anything worth stealing. After hat the Bros. find a Dream Point and they meet Seadring, a Dream Genie that would be glad to help hide Peach. It is suggested though that Peach should be held deeper in this Dream World and Seadring suggests the use of Dream Eggs to expand the world. Seadring then tells the Bros. to go see his two Brothers and Sister to get three Dream Eggs. After doing so Seadring expands the world and then tells the Bros. to meet him in the next area after finding the prizes he left for them. After meeting up The Bros. asked why he left monsters, with Seadring replying that monsters shouldn't be here and that something bad got in. After the final expansion and hiding Peach in the deepest part. It is revealed that Peach was actually Kamek in disguise, along with the royal guard, Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk and Sergant Guy, and it's revealed they already had Peach. The royal guard the battles the Bros. and reveal they can only be beaten if all of them KO'd at once. After doing so they are demoted to janitors and teleported out by Kamek who then leaves.

The Bros. start looking for a way to get to Antasma & Bowser's Castle when the discover Dr. Snoozemore has returned and go to see him. Upon finding him in the collection room of Pi'illo castle he is startled to see a living Pi'illo. He suggest trying to find the Zeekeeper to brake the shield around the Castle. Dreambert remembers seeing a Zeekeeper statue in Dream's Deep in Pi'illo castle. The statue will allow the Bros. to find the Zeekeeper's location but is deactivated. Upon reactivating it, Mario and Luigi learn to summon the Zeekeeper, they must use the Ultibed, which in order to access, must first be built by a Bedsmith once they must collect the five Zee Parts scattered across the island.

Gameplay

The gameplay seems to shift between Luigi's dream world, where Mario and Luigi move in a 2-D fashion and the regular world, where they freely roam the overworld, unlike the previous three titles. While Mario is playing inside Luigi's dreams, Starlow can move Luigi's face to affect the area, such as spinning platforms. The battles give the player coins directly from enemies in battle, like Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Due to the shift to 3D, the game also uses a new art style. Badges similar to those in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story seem to make an appearance in this game. Sometimes Gifts may also appear in between or after battles.Template:Refneeded Giant battles from Mario & Luigi's Bowser Inside Story return, this time with Luigi instead of Bowser. The games art style also changes in this installment. Unlike the previous games' basic sprite look, this installment uses a pre-rendered look that makes the sprites smoother with the backgrounds.

During an developer interview it was revealed the game has a hardcore mode that's unlocked after completing the game. Also during battles if the player fails at Bro. moves a numerous amount of times in battle a slo-mo feature will activate allowing for easier hits. The game also has a added hint option which appears in battle if the player is struggling with an enemy, if chosen this gives information on the enemies weakness's and attacks.[3]

The bottom screen of the 3DS displays the area map, unlike previous installments the map shows and follows the actual location of the Bros.

Battle system

The battle system in overworld is similar to those in previous titles, but the system in Dream World is different, as Mario will fight in all battles with Luigi's dream power. There are now five categories of attack, as in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. They are Jump, Hammer, Item, Luigi's face (which are Special attacks in Dream World) or Red Shell (which are Special attacks in the overworld), and Flee. There can be more than five enemies in battle, as in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. The Rank feature returns again. One change is the lack of Lakitus from the level up system.[4]

Giant Battles

Giant battles play similarly to the ones in the previous installment, with the boss on one screen and Luigi on the other. The battles now offer a choice of left-handed or right-handed play. In this installment several things are different. Luigi is able to perform extra jump attacks like in normal battle. Also for Luigi to heal himself he has to get Mario to throw him mushrooms. The player has to tap to the timing of Mario's throws to catch the mushrooms and heal Luigi. Mario gets worn out after one of these moves and must recover for a few turns. Another new feature is that to finish a boss a special move has to be performed. This works with Luigi jumping high and grabbing a star, which Mario hops on and steers towards the boss after being thrown by Luigi. The player has to line up the star's trajectory with the boss's heart to finish them off. It is currently unknown what happens if they miss. [5]

Luiginary Works

Luiginary Works are special objects found in the Dream World. When Dreamy Luigi is near a Luiginary Work, both react to each other, causing them to be surrounded by a green light. Dreamy Luigi, then, can "possess" the object, creating a special object that can be controled by the sleepy Luigi, with Starlow's help.

Reception

Both Gamespot and IGN gave the game an 8 which is the lowest review in the series by both of them. The reasons for this were that IGN believed that the overworld was less apealing than Dream World and that the game's intro was sluggish and filled with too many tutorials[52]. The game though was positively received
