Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (known as Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. in European languages) is a title for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the fourth installment in the Mario & Luigi series, preceded by Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story from 2009, and succeeded by Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam in 2015. The story follows Mario and Luigi's journey on Pi'illo Island to rescue Princess Peach from Antasma and Bowser and to stop them from conquering the real world with the Dream Stone. During this journey, they find and rescue an ancient species of the island called the Pi'illos. One Pi'illo, Prince Dreambert, accompanies the brothers and Starlow in order to help them. This game is part of "The Year of Luigi," celebrating the 30th anniversary of Luigi's debut. As such, Luigi has a much bigger role in the game than in the previous Mario & Luigi games. Many of the game's mechanics in the Dream World center around him, including Luiginary Works, Luiginoids, Luiginary Attacks, and Giant Luigi. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team is a graphically pivotal entry in the Mario & Luigi series, as its art style has been used in all future installments in the series (Paper Jam, Bowser's Minions, and Bowser Jr.'s Journey). The name comes from the term "dream team", a team composed of the greatest performers of a certain talent.

Story

The invitation to Pi'illo Island

One day in the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi, Toadsworth, and some Toads are invited to Pi'illo Island, which is said to contain a special power that makes people fall asleep. During the flight, a dark pillow falls onto a blimp and transforms into a dark figure who Mario defeats. After defeating him, the blimp malfunctions and crashes into the Pi'illo Blimport. However, it is revealed that it was all Luigi's dream. The group proceeds through Pi'illo Blimport, where they meet Broque Monsieur and many Brocks, who host a variety of welcoming events, including a Check-X Quiz, enemy battles, and a Coin-Up Challenge. They then go to Pi'illo Castle, where they meet Starlow. Mario and Luigi go to a room where Peach and Toadsworth accidentally set off a test platform sending them to ancient Pi'illo ruins. The Bros. follow and eventually find Peach and Toadsworth, as well as a Pi'illo, the latter of whom is to be Prince Dreambert. After defeating Smoldergeist, they find a collection room where Luigi takes a nap on the pillow. After everyone gathers in the collection room, a Dream Portal opens a portal to the Dream World. The dark figure from Luigi's dream pulls Princess Peach into the Dream World. After Mario chases after Peach into Dreamy Pi'illo Castle, with the help of a dreamy version of Broque Monsieur, he comes across Dreamy Luigi, Luigi's dream representation, who assists Mario through his treks in the Dream World.

The Bros. catch up to the dark figure, who creates Dreamy Mario, whom they defeat. The dark figure then creates a portal to Dream's Deep and flees there, sealing it up afterwards. Mario and Luigi then find a Nightmare Chunk and break it, freeing Prince Dreambert. He explains that there were two powers in Pi'illo Island, the Dream Stone and the Dark Stone. Both stones have the power to grant wishes. The Pi'illo folk were protecting the stones from misuse. Then the Bat King Antasma came to steal the Dark Stone to fulfill his desires. The Pi'illo fought Antasma and successfully sealed him in the Dream World, but not before Antasma destroyed the Dark Stone, thus causing the Pi'illos' souls to be trapped in Nightmare Chunks upon being hit by one. Prince Dreambert then runs out of the room, with the Bros. following him. After catching up to Prince Dreambert and saving some Pi'illos, Mario and Luigi learn from one that Eldream, a Pi'illo elder, knows how to reach Dream's Deep. The Bros. then set off to find him in Mushrise Park.

Upon arriving at Mushrise Park, the Bros. learn that Brickle, the park's manager, has Eldream but will not give him up unless they catch him. After the Bros. free him from being stuck in the fountain top and defeat a malfunctioning watering robot named Grobot, Brickle allows them to use his bed in his hut. After freeing Eldream, he opens the portal to Dream's Deep where the Bros. enter. Meanwhile in the real world, Bowser appears along with Kamek and the newly-formed Elite Trio: Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk and Sergeant Guy. Bowser follows the princess's scent to Dream's Deep right where the Bros. are confronting Antasma. Upon being convinced by Antasma and his claims, Bowser teams with him and decides to kidnap Peach later.

Bowser and Antasma steal the Dream Stone in Dozing Sands

Back in the Real World, the Bros. learn that Antasma is going after the Dream Stone, which resides in Dozing Sands. As the Bros. approach the ruins that hold the Dream Stone, they discover Antasma and Bowser had already stolen it. Prince Dreambert realizes that the Dream Stone's altar is a Dreampoint, a point where one can enter the Dream World easily. Mario enters the Dream World as Luigi sleeps on Prince Dreambert on the Dreampoint, into Dreamy Dozing Sands. After finding the Dream Stone's Soul, it tries to hide as it does not want to get involved but is pestered to the point it is consumed by fury, turning into the massive Robo-Drilldigger to get rid of the Bros. Dreamy Luigi, fusing with many Luiginoids, then becomes Giant Luigi to defeat Robo-Drilldigger. After doing so, the Dream Stone's Soul tells Luigi where the Dream Stone was taken, Mount Pajamaja.

Bowser and Antasma playing the Dreambeats on Mount Pajamaja

To reach Mount Pajamaja, the Bros. need to take a tour there, signing up requiring them to go to Wakeport. However, the tour cannot begin until Big Massif, the big brother of Lil' Massif and one of the tour guides, shows up. The Bros. later find Big Massif voluntarily asleep on a Dreampoint. Mario enters Dreamy Wakeport, but discovers that to meet Dreamy Big Massif, they have to beat his four Hooraw apprentices with special conditions involved. After beating all four, it is revealed that Dreamy Big Massif was disguised as the tour center operator. Upon beating Dreamy Big Massif, Big Massif wakes up, notices he slept in and starts the tour to and up Mount Pajamaja. After climbing up to the summit, the Bros. find Antasma, Bowser, Kamek and the Elite Trio starting to play music known as the Dreambeats, making all who hear it fall asleep, except for Pi'illos, Starlow, Antasma and Bowser (who is covering his ears). The Bros. try to escape but Luigi falls asleep. Mario manages to escape the Dreambeats by diving through the Dream Portal of a nearby Dreampoint into Dreamy Mount Pajamaja, but the Dream Portal soon closes as the music has made Luigi so deep in his sleep that it cannot remain stable.

Mario and Dreamy Luigi about to fight the Elite Trio after Kamek tricks the Bros. in Dreamy Driftwood Shore

Meanwhile, the entire island falls asleep and Dream Orbs, orbs created by those who sleep, are absorbed into the Dream Stone to power it. As the Dream Stone finishes charging, Antasma wishes for a castle for him and Bowser, and surrounds the castle with an impenetrable shield. As Mario gets out of the Dream World, the Bros. head to Pi'illo Castle, and find out that Princess Peach is at Driftwood Shore. When they arrive, they are told to go see Broque Madame who has disguised Peach and Toadsworth as Block folk. It is suggested that Peach should be hidden in the Dream World from Bowser. However, it is revealed that Peach was actually Kamek in disguise, who summons the Elite Trio to fight the Bros. After being defeated, they are teleported out by Kamek who then leaves.

The Bros. start looking for a way to get to Neo Bowser Castle when they discover Dr. Snoozemore has returned and go to see him. Upon finding him, he suggests trying to find the Zeekeeper to break the shield around the Castle. To summon the Zeekeeper, they must use the Ultibed, which in order to access, must first be built by a Bedsmith once they collect the five Zee Parts scattered across the island. The Bros. then find Pi'illoper who takes them to his prized possession, Bedsmith, who is trapped in a Nightmare Chunk. When the Bros. finally reach the Nightmare Chunk, Earthwake, the guardian holding the nightmare chunk in its head, activates and forms a robot made of buildings resulting in another Giant Luigi battle. After beating Earthwake and breaking the nightmare chunk, Bedsmith is more than happy to help, but needs to meet the Bros. at his workshop in Somnom Woods to build the Ultibed.

The Zeekeeper released from the Dream World in Somnom Woods

After arriving in Somnom Woods, Bedsmith makes the Ultibed, and then tells the Bros. to find the Zeekeeper they would have to sleep in the temple in Somnom Woods. To reach the temple, the Bros. have to free the Pi'illo Masters which hold the keys to reaching the temple. In Dreamy Somnom Woods, Mario and Dreamy Luigi find the Zee Egg. Mario tries breaking the egg, releasing the Zeekeeper who fights Giant Luigi. After the Zeekeeper is defeated, he notices Prince Dreambert with the Bros. and upon hearing the dire situation, he reluctantly agrees to help. The Zeekeeper unleashes the Wakebeam upon the castle, shattering the barrier and causing the castle to plummet to the ground, allowing the Bros. to then storm the castle.

Bowser sleeping in Neo Bowser Castle

Upon infiltrating Neo Bowser Castle, Kamek tries to hinder Mario and Luigi's progress, but fails. The Bros. then find Bowser sleeping on Antasma as a pillow with a barrier protecting him. Luigi suggests that they enter the Koopa King's Dream World; there, they fight Bowser in his giant form. After losing, Bowser flees with Antasma, and Mario and Luigi pursue the duo. Antasma attempts to challenge the Mario Bros. to a fight with the help of Bowser, but to the surprise of everyone, Bowser turns on him, and he then reveals that was planning to double-cross Antasma all along and flees to the top of the castle. Antasma then reveals he had made a wish on the Dream Stone for the ability to create Dream Portals at some point, and flies through one just before besting Dreambert in a duel. Mario avenges him and jumps into the Dream Portal himself, with Dreamy Luigi and a barely conscious Prince Dreambert joining the fight to assist him. The three defeat him, and they leave the Dream World, still looking to fight Bowser.

Dreamy Bowser appearing in front of the Bros.

After avoiding Elite Trio's attacks, Mario, Luigi, Starlow, and Prince Dreambert make it to the castle balcony, where Bowser and Peach await. As Bowser boasts about the power he now has, Peach and Starlow activate their wish power and, at the request of Prince Dreambert, destroy the Dream Stone. Bowser in turn inhales the Dream Stone's pieces and becomes Dreamy Bowser. He then engages battle with the Bros., but despite his new powers, he still loses to them and reverts back to his normal self. The Bros. then hit him with their hammers hard, sending him flying out of Neo Bowser Castle and into the sky. However, Neo Bowser Castle no longer has the Dream Stone sustaining it, so it begins to collapse. The Bros. and company are greeted by the Zeekeeper, who takes them out of the castle and back to Pi'illo Island.

Back at Pi'illo Castle, Prince Dreambert presents the Zeekeeper with the Dream Stone's essence extracted from Bowser's body, hoping to get it repaired. He does so, but it becomes the Dream Coin, which spouts infinite coins instead. The Zeekeeper explains that he made it this way because simply having the power to grant all wishes is too risky, and it's more intuitive to "buy" one's wishes. Meanwhile, Bowser and his minions are desperately trying to escape the island, and Bowser announces he will come back for revenge. They are then showered in coins from the Dream Coin, causing the Koopa Clown Car to fall into the ocean.

Gameplay

The gameplay shifts 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. While Mario is playing inside Luigi's dreams, Starlow can move Luigi's face to affect the area, such as making him sneeze to spin platforms. The battles give the player coins directly from enemies in battle, like Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Badges similar to those in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story make a return in this game. Sometimes, gifts also appear in between or after battles. Giant battles from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story return, this time with Luigi instead of Bowser.

The art style also changes in this installment due to the shift to 3D. Unlike the previous games' basic sprite style, this installment uses a pre-rendered visual that makes the sprites smoother with the backgrounds. The environment uses 3D models while in giant battles, characters use 3D models for the first time in the series.

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 the overworld is similar to those in previous titles. Initially, Mario has higher BP, POW, and Speed, while Luigi has more HP, DEF and Stache than his brother, like in other games in the series. The battle system in Dream World is different, as Mario fights merged with Luigi's dream form. As a result, he has higher stats, with his HP and BP increased by 1.5x. On the other hand, Mario is the only one who takes damage, while Luigi is completely unharmable. As such, just Mario being KO'd is enough to result in a Game Over. There are now five categories of attacks, as in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. They are Jump, Hammer, Item, Luiginary Attacks (in the Dream World) or Bros. Attacks (in the Real World), and Flee. If a player loses a battle and tries again, a sixth option appears, which is the Hint option. Also, during battles, if the player fails a Bro. Attack a numerous amount of times in battle, a slo-mo feature activates allowing for easier hits. 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.

Badges

Main article: Badge § Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

Badges return from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Upon reaching to Prince Dreambert's petrified pillow in Pi'illo Castle, Mario and Luigi find two Badges with the pillow, which are the Mush Badge and the Starter Badge. While traveling through Dozing Sands, the Bros. encounter a Badge shop owner Brock who gives the two the Guard Badge and the Bronze Badge. All other Badges can be bought at Badge Shops.

During battle, Mario and Luigi can fill up the Badge gauge by attacking enemies, with more successful attacks filling up the gauge faster. Bros. and Luiginary attacks fill it up even faster than normal attacks. When the gauge is full, a Badge Effect will take up a Badge Slot. Badges can be swapped out in and out of battle, although the Badge gauge will reset. Below is a list of all Badge combinations.

Pi'illos

Main article: Pi'illo

Status effects

Status effects can be caused by enemy attacks, items, Bros. Attacks, or the attributes of equipped gear. Some increase/decrease Mario and Luigi's stats while others prevent them from attacking. In this game, there is no Poison effect like the previous Mario & Luigi games. Those which raise and lower stats stack with all other status effects with the exception of raising a currently lowered stat (or vice versa). All of these effects can be cured with a Refreshing Herb.

Status	Description
Trip	This effect leaves Mario or Luigi unable to avoid enemy attacks. It ends when their turn comes or possibly after getting hit. Entering battle when the enemy touches the rear of Mario or Luigi automatically inflicts that brother with the status.
Dizzy	This effect prevents Mario or Luigi from dodging attacks until their turn comes, but can be lost after getting hit. For enemies, it prevents them from attacking for several turns.
Burn/Char	This effect is similar to the Dizzy effect, but hurts the character inflicted with it after each turn. For Mario and Luigi, the effect ends when it becomes their turn or possibly after getting hit. For an enemy, it lasts several turns.
Mini	This effect makes either Mario and Luigi very small, in addition to reducing the damage they can inflict. In the dream world, using the jump or hammer attack when mini still causes the Luiginoids to be normal size. If a brother faints in the real world whilst the other is suffering the effect, they automatically lose the Mini status so they can carry the brother during enemy attacks.
Pow Up	This effect increases the Power of Mario or Luigi, allowing them to deal more damage.
Def Up	This effect increases the Defense of Mario or Luigi, reducing the damage they sustain.
Speed Up	This effect increases the Speed of Mario or Luigi, allowing them to act sooner than normal.
Pow Down	This effect decreases the Power of Mario or Luigi, reducing the damage they inflict. It can combined with the other decreasing effects.
Def Down	This effect decreases the Defense of Mario or Luigi, increasing the damage they sustain.
Speed Down	This effect decreases the Speed of Mario or Luigi, making them to act later than normal.

Out-of-battle techniques

There are out-of battle techniques that Mario and Luigi learn throughout their adventure. The first techniques are jumping. The player uses (or ) for Mario and (or ) for Luigi. Upon pressing , it cycles the bros' current techniques, which are paired in sets, going to to different ones gained later on. There are four sets of different techniques. When in the dream world, the only ability that both of the Bros. can use is the jump ability, while the hammer is exclusive to Mario, and only Luigi can use Luiginary Works.

Technique	Button	Set Number	Description	Location Unlocked
Jump		1	Mario jumps. He can use this to make a starting attack and jump to places that cannot be walked to. It is the most commonly used technique in the game.	Initially
	Same as Mario's jump but for Luigi.
Hammer		2	Mario hammers whatever is in front of him. He can hit buttons and break Nightmare Chunks that cannot be broken with jumping.	Mushrise Park
Mole Mario or Mini-Mario		Luigi hammers Mario so he becomes squashed. Mario is then able to go into smaller areas that cannot be reached normally. If Luigi hammers Mario again he returns to normal size. If Mario is standing on softer ground, Luigi hammers him into the ground so he can move underground. He can use this ability to dig up beans and other things. Pressing causes Mario to jump out of the ground. (Real World only)	Dozing Sands
Spin Jump		3	Mario jumps on Luigi. Pressing A again initiates the spin jump so Mario and Luigi can spin things and spin other to further away platforms. Press B when Mario is on top of Luigi to return to normal. (Real World only)	Mount Pajamaja
Side Drill		Luigi jumps onto Mario's back; pressing the B button again launches the drill. It drills whichever way Mario and Luigi are facing. Drilling can smash through rocks, and go into drill cannons that shoot out Mario and Luigi in different directions after Mario and Luigi have drilled in. Pressing the A button while Luigi is on Mario's back to returns them to normal. (Real World only)
Ball Hop	/	4	Mario and Luigi jump into ball, which endlessly jumps until the player press A or B again. The jumps that the ball make are higher so the bros can reach higher places. It is also used for Ring Puzzles, where Mario and Luigi must jump through rings without touching the same space again. (Real World only)	Mount Pajamaja (revisit)
Luiginary Works		2	Luigi flies into any nearby Luiginary Work so it can be controlled by Starlow in the real world. (Dream World only)	Dreamy Pi'illo Castle

Luiginary Works

Luiginary Works are special abilities 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 controlled by the sleepy Luigi, with Starlow's help. As said by Prince Dreambert, the Luiginary Works are the objects of connection between the real world and the Dream World.

Name	Description/Function			Locations Present
Luiginary Stache Tree	Dreamy Luigi possesses a tree with mustache-like leaves. If Luigi's mustache is pulled and moved, the leaves move the same way, and they can be used as slingshots for Mario.			Dreamy Pi'illo Castle, Dreamy Mushrise Park, Dreamy Dozing Sands, Dreamy Somnom Woods, Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle (Area B)
Sneeze Wind	Dreamy Luigi possesses a whirlwind in the level's background. If Luigi sneezes, it causes a strong gust in the Dream World, which can be useful to knock large blocks, spin platforms and move Blocks from the background to the level.			Dreamy Pi'illo Castle, Dreamy Mushrise Park, Dreamy Dozing Sands, Dreamy Wakeport, Dreamy Somnom Woods
Luiginoid Formation	Dreamy Luigi possesses a constellation in the background. The constellation's stars turn into Luiginoids that can be stacked to help Mario with strong moves.

Luiginary Speedometer	Dreamy Luigi possesses a clock which can affect Mario's speed and jumping height. This is done by Starlow either touching Luigi's mustache or nose. Pulling on the right side of the mustache speeds up time, pulling on the left side slows it down, and tapping Luigi's nose makes everything go at normal speed.			Dreamy Wakeport (Heavy Zest & Thunder Sass area), Dreamy Somnom Woods, Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle (Area E)
Luiginary Ice	Dreamy Luigi possesses a sun. Starlow can move his arm and make him to press a button near the frozen Pi'llow that is used to change the real world from hot to cold and vice-versa. If the real world gets hot, the sun in the Dream World makes the area similar to a desert. If it gets cold, the sun freezes and the Dream World turns snowy.			Dreamy Mount Pajamaja (Dreampoint)
Luiginary Gravity	Dreamy Luigi possesses a planet. Starlow can rotate a raft that Luigi is sleeping on to change the gravity in the Dream World.			Dreamy Driftwood Shore, Dreamy Dozing Sands, Dreamy Wakeport
Luiginary Propeller	Dreamy Luigi possesses a giant pinwheel. When Starlow spins Luigi's nose, the pinwheel causes wind in the Dream World.			Dreamy Somnom Woods, Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle (Area C)
Luiginary Antigravity	Dreamy Luigi possesses a patch of matter, turning into a circular object with light revolving it, which when activated by Starlow via a switch in the real world, allows Mario to space-swim through the area freely. This is similar to the first time Mario enters the Dream World.			Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle (Area A, D)

Leveling up

Main article: Level up § Mario & Luigi series

Mario and Luigi gain EXP by defeating enemies. When they gain enough, they level up, increasing all of their stats except for STACHE. The player then gets the chance to choose one stat to power up further with a roulette. Continually increasing the same stat will cause lower point values to appear on the roulette. The only ways for the STACHE stat to increase is by choosing to increase the stat manually and by using STACHE beans.

Ranks

Main article: Rank § Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

Giant battles

Main article: Giant Luigi

A screenshot of right-handed play.

Giant battles play similarly to the ones in the previous installment, with the boss on one screen and Dreamy Luigi on the other. The battles now offer a choice of left-handed or right-handed play; in left-handed play, the boss goes on the right screen and Luigi goes on the left screen, and in right-handed play, the boss goes on the left screen and Luigi goes on the right screen. Attacks and counter-attacks, like in the previous game, are used by tapping repeatedly, sliding in correct shapes and sliding repeatedly. As the playable character being different in this game, Luigi is instead able to perform a variety of the moves he uses in normal battle, such as his jump and hammer attacks, the latter having two variations. He is also given the option to work together with Mario to perform both a useful healing technique and a spinning stomp attack, as well as a finishing attack involving Mario piercing through the boss in question's weak point while riding a Star thrown by Dreamy Luigi.

Unlockables

Upon completing the game, two new features are made available, Jukebox and Hard Mode. Jukebox allows the player to listen to the game's soundtrack. In Hard Mode, enemies are stronger, and the maximum amount of each item the bros can carry is 10. Like the previous games, should the player lose in a battle in Hard Mode, rather than having the option to restart it, they are automatically be taken back to the title screen. Upon beating the final boss in Hard Mode, the player gets to view a two-screened image featuring all the main characters and main bosses in the game.

Special attacks

Bros. Attacks

Main article: Bros. Attack § Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

Mario and Luigi using the Dropchopper Bros. Attack

Bros. Attacks are powerful and complex team techniques that Mario and Luigi perform in unison in the Real World. These moves are unlocked by gathering the ten Attack Pieces in a particular area. Like in the previous game, the player is given the option to practice their unlocked Bros. Attacks in the menu. In this game however, certain Bros. Attacks are influenced damage-wise by either Mario's or Luigi's Boots POW stat, Mario's or Luigi's Hammer POW stat, or just Mario's or Luigi's normal POW stat, whose variable POW stat depends on who's performing the attack and how it involves them. Once again exclusive to this game, Mario and Luigi each have Bros. Attacks unique to themselves that only they can activate. Some of Mario's Bro Attacks mainly focus on single targets, while most of Luigi's attack multiple foes.

Luiginary Attacks

Main article: Luiginary Attack

Luiginary Stack, one of the Luiginary Attacks in the game

Luiginary Attacks, like Bros. Attacks, are powerful and complex team techniques that Mario and a group Luiginoids perform in unison in the Dream World. These moves are unlocked by gathering the ten Attack Pieces in a particular area. Like with Bros. Attacks, the player is given the option to practice their unlocked Luiginary Attacks in the menu. Much like Bros. Attacks, certain Luiginary Attacks are influenced damage-wise by either Mario and Luigi's Boots POW stat, Mario and Luigi's Hammer POW stat, or just Mario and Luigi's normal POW stat. As Mario battles solo (in a sense) in the Dream World, only he can activate these moves. Using these moves fills up Luigi's side of the Badge meter.

List of Luiginary Attacks

Luiginary Attack	Description	Effects	BP	Type	Location
Luiginary Ball*	Tilt the Nintendo 3DS to move the ball. Grab Luiginoids to make the ball bigger! Line it up, and kick it with the A Button! A bigger ball means more damage!

Luiginary Hammer	Press the B Button repeatedly to form the Luiginoids into a giant hammer! It will tilt, so use left/right on the Circle Pad to help Mario keep it balanced. As Mario runs, aim with up/down on the Circle Pad and swing with the A Button.	Mash the Button to make Luiginoids jump onto Mario's hammer to form a Luiginary Hammer. Use the to balance the unsteady hammer, otherwise Mario will tumble and the Luiginoids will also fall and disperse.	10	Hammer	Dreamy Mount Pajamaja (Summit Dreampoint)

Luiginary Wall	Use left/right on the Circle Pad to move and the A Button to hit Dreamy Luigi! Hit Dreamy Luigi where the foes are gathering to deliver more damage! Depending on Mario's position when you swing, Dreamy Luigi's angle will change.	Mario will hit Luigi forward, spinning him and charging through all enemies like a game of Breakout. Players will need to avoid focusing on the same spots of the Luiginoid Wall, otherwise the wall will break and the attack will be more likely to fail.	14	Hammer	Dreamy Wakeport (Bedsmith's area)

Pressing while the Luiginary Typhoon has enemies inside it will make the Luiginoids hit them with their hammers for more damage.	16	Hammer	Dreamy Somnom Woods (Ultibed Dreampoint)

* - Mandatory Luiginary Attack.

Giant Luigi's Bros. Attacks

Bros. Attack	Description	Mechanics
Rhythm Mushroom	Touch Mushrooms to heal up!	This move cannot be used in the Battle Ring. Once Mario throws mushrooms at Luigi, the player must tap the screen as Luigi eats them.
Drill Stomp	Spin more for a super stomp!	This move is unlocked during the battle against Mount Pajamaja, but cannot be used against Robo-Drilldigger X. The player must slide as many circles as possible in the direction shown three times to make Mario stomp down on Luigi and deal heavy damage to the enemy.
Finishing Bros.	Aim with the 3DS!	This move is used at the end of each battle. The player must tilt the 3DS to aim the star marker onto the enemy's weak point, which if hit will earn an "Excellent!" rating and reward the player with better items and more coins than if an "OK" rating is achieved upon missing the target.
Star Driver	Control the star to attack!	This move is used at the real end of the battle against Bowser, as well as Bowser X. The player must tilt the 3DS to dodge Bowser's fireballs, which, if hit, will nullify the attack and Luigi must push Bowser into the pool of lava again.

Main article: List of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team gear

Beans

Main article: List of beanholes in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

Beans return in this game. They serve the same purpose they had in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, increasing the stats of Mario and Luigi when they eat one. They are marked as Xs in the ground, and are only found in the real world. Mario can rise up from the ground beneath them to dig them up. There are also DX versions of all beans, which raise the respective stat by three points instead of one. Below is a list of all kinds of beans found in the game.

Heart Beans: Pink beans that increase a bro's HP.
Bros. Beans: Green beans that increase a bro's BP.

Shops

Main article: List of shops in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

Throughout Pi'illo Island and its Dream Worlds are many shops. Most of them offer Pi'i-lattes, which fully restore the HP and BP of Mario and Luigi for the cost of ten coins. The only shop to not offer Pi'i-lattes is the Dreamy Pi'illo Castle shop. To access Driftwood Shore's Gold Shop, Mario and Luigi must be Rainbow Rank. Below is a list of all shops in the game. Shops marked with an asterisk are an item shop in addition to being a gear shop.

Sidequests

Hooski trading quest

In Wakeport during Mario and Luigi's travels, the player may encounter a male Hooski named Hoolo wanting to propose to nearby female named Hoola, but is lacking the proper proposal gift. Upon Mario and Luigi agreeing to help, they are given a plush Zeekeeper to use in order to get something better to propose with, initiating a brief trading sidequest.

Mario and Luigi first trade the plush Zeekeeper for a rare fruit with a Shelltop in the nearby item shop, afterwards swapping it for a Yoshi Egg with a Red Yoshi in the hotel district, which they then swap for a photo of Peach with a Toad by the tour center, which they then swap for the Book of Ruins with a Brock researcher to the north of the Toad, which they then swap for a photo of Queen Bean with a Beanish in the gear shop, which they then swap for a lost camera with a Bean in one of the buildings in the hotel district, which they then give to a Toad near the rooftops of the hotel district in exchange for info about a bird burying something between the nearby umbrella and fountain, which then turns out to be upon the Bros. digging it out, a Pi'illo ring which Mario and Luigi hand to Hoolo for him to then propose with, Hoola accepting after a short cutscene which ends with the Bros. being rewarded greatly with a Sap Hammer, Heart Bean DX, some Rally Wear, and a 1-Up Mushroom, and if the player talks to him afterwards, he'll give the Bros. an idea of where to go next in Wakeport.

Kylie Koopa's photo puzzles

During Mario and Luigi's travels in Wakeport, they come across Kylie Koopa upon entering a house, and discover she's the guidebook writer for the island. She offers some work for them, involving them finding camera blocks around the island, bringing them back here and deciphering them. Each shot can be taken back and played as three of the same photo puzzles of differing levels; with each higher level, the photo covers more of the scene, and the games give the player more time to do the puzzle. The Level 1 reward is 100 coins with a time limit of 3 minutes, the Level 2 reward is 300 coins with a time limit of 4 minutes, and the level 3 reward is a DX Bean of varying stat with a time limit of 6 minutes.

Mad Skillathon

Main article: Mad Skillathon

Upon Mario and Luigi's first visit to Wakeport, they may come across a Shelltop on a stand, apparently hosting an event known as the Mad Skillathon, a contest for those with skills, with rewards included. Mario and Luigi, after a short conversation, decide to take part using their Bros. Attacks, as the Shelltop counted those as skills. The Mad Skillathon is much like the Cholesteroad in Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story in the sense that it is a Bros. Attack endurance game. Below is a list of all Bros. Attack challenges and their rewards. After an S rank is earned in all the challenges, the Pro Wear is awarded.

Bros. Attack	Challenge Description	B-Rank Prize (200)	A-Rank Prize (500)	S-Rank Prize (800)
3D Green Shell	Kick the shell as many times as you can! Drop the boss for 20 points!	100 coins	300 coins	Rally Belt

Star Rocket	Tilt the Star Rocket to collect stars, but avoid damage balloons!	100 coins	300 coins	Perfect Bro Gloves

Battle Broque Madame

Upon Mario and Luigi's first visit to Driftwood Shore, they meet Broque Madame on a stand, who suggests the idea of the Bros. entering her dreams due to her boredom at her shop and her crave for excitement. This is much like the Mad Skillathon, however is the Luiginary Attack version for it.

These are the list of rewards gained from hitting the B, A or S rank scores, them respectively being 200 for B, 500 for A and 800 for S. After getting S rank in all four challenges, the player is awarded with the Supreme Boots.

Luiginary Attack	Challenge Description	B-Rank Prize (200)	A-Rank Prize (500)	S-Rank Prize (800)
Luiginary Ball	Bowl over the small Madames, and then crash into the big Madame!	100 coins	300 coins	Coin Boots DX

Luiginary Wall	Hit all of the small Madames back! Hitting items will affect play.	100 coins	300 coins	Lucky Gloves DX

Mole Hunt

Main article: Mole Hunt

In Driftwood Shore, Mario and Luigi come across a Shelltop during their treks in the area. Upon beating his game the second and final mandatory time, the Shelltop allows Mario and Luigi to play upon returning to him at will for the usual price of 10 coins, with the inclusion of prizes if Mario and Luigi are good enough.

Differences from other Mario & Luigi games

Starting with this game, Mario and Luigi do not let out their battle cries of "Let's-a-go!" and "Okey-dokey!" respectively when starting a battle. In place of those cries, the battle transition shows off how the battle was entered (i.e. a color-coded boot or hammer depending on which brother attacked and how they attacked, or a "!" for bumping into an enemy). Both of these features were added in later entries.
This is the first game in the series where Bowser is consciously the final boss. This is also the first game where Bowser is not the tutorial boss, as Antasma occupies that role instead.
This is the first game in the series where the player can save anywhere using Save Blocks or the Save icon on the touch screen.
To accommodate the 3D feature of the Nintendo 3DS, the game's art style is radically altered to appear 3D while still using sprites. The letters on Mario and Luigi's caps are red and green, respectively, instead of black, and Luigi's pants reach his shoes, hiding his socks. The brothers' mouths are also visible, and none of the enemies have black outlines. However, Dreamy Bowser has a white outline.
- In addition, at certain points the game uses 3D models where sprites would not work with the stereoscopic 3D (such as during giant battles), making this the first Mario & Luigi game to use full 3D graphics.
Fawful, a recurring character throughout the series, does not make an appearance in this game although there is an unknown NPC that says one of his main quotes when talked to.
The Stache point system in shops has been dropped; the stat is now used only for Critical or Lucky hits.
Bosses always drop exclusive items/gear upon defeat (with the exception of Mammoshka, whose probability of dropping exclusive goods is still under 100%).
The player does not lose coins when running away from battles.
This is the second game in the series in which Mario and Luigi are the only playable characters in the game (though there is Dreamy Luigi in Dream World).
This is the first game in the series where battles do not take place on the touch screen (except for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, due to the Game Boy Advance only having one screen). Instead, the badges take up the Bottom screen and Mario and Luigi fight on the top screen.
This is the first and currently only game in the series where the player cannot explore the Mushroom Kingdom at all, as the player only gains control of Mario after he has already left.
- By extension, this is also the first and currently only game in the series where the player cannot explore Peach's Castle at all, with the landmark being featured only in cutscenes.
This is the first game in the series which does not feature the Poison status effect. Instead, the Mini status effect occurs.
This is the first game in the series where Mario and Luigi never end up inside another character; in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, they are inhaled by Bowletta, in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, they end up in Yoob's Belly, and in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, they are inhaled by Bowser, with their effort to escape Bowser's body making up a large portion of the story.
This is the first game to use an icon of a boot for the jump Command Block instead of an upward-pointing arrow like in the previous two games.
The player has an option to choose what their dominant hand is, which affects the side Giant Luigi is on during giant battles. In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Giant Bowser is always on the left side, while in the remake he is always on the right side of the screen.
While Badges return from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, more than one Badge Effect can be held onto at a time rather than just one. In addition, changing Badges in battle does not waste a turn.

Demo

On the day of the game's release in North America, a demo of the game was also released on the Nintendo eShop, making this the first strictly Super Mario game to have a publicly released demo for download. It uses 1,010 blocks when downloaded, and offers twelve uses. The demo is similar to the E3 demo, in that it has the same options for gameplay minus the giant battle:

The Real World - the player can explore a segment of Mushrise Park.
The Dream World - the player can explore a combination of Dreamy Pi'illo Castle and Dreamy Dozing Sands.
Boss Battle - the player is given the option of either facing Grobot in the real world or Bowser and Antasma in the Dream World.

In Mushrise Park, the objective is to destroy all the rocks, much like how Mario and Luigi must break all the rocks in certain areas upon their return to Mushrise Park. The area has also been changed to prevent the player from exploring other areas. In the Dream World, some areas have been combined to showcase the Luiginary Works. Additionally, in the battles, the available Bros. and Luiginary Attacks use half as many BP as they do in the actual game.

The game's executive producers were Tetsuo Mizuno and Satoru Iwata. The other producers were Akira Otani, Yoshihiko Maekawa and Toshiharu Izuno, with Shinya Takahashi serving as the general producer with Yoko Shimomura providing the game's music.

Reception

The game received aggregately positive reviews, with praise for its graphical style, gameplay, humorous presentation, story and characters, although its overuse of tutorials received criticism, which led to the next titles (remakes included) to add a Guide feature. Both Gamespot and IGN gave the game an 8/10, although it is the lowest review in the series up to that point by both of them. The reasons for this were that IGN believed that the overworld was less appealing than the Dream World and that the game's intro was sluggish and saturated with tutorials.^[4] GameXplain on the other hand believes that the game is fun, despite its minor flaws, and that it lives up to the other installments in the series; the game was given 4 1/2 stars out of 5.

Reviews
Release	Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
Nintendo 3DS	Daniel Krupa, IGN	8/10	"Mario and Luigi Dream Team has great moments, but they're almost always confined to its psychedelic dream sections, which teem with imagination and invention. Consequently I always found myself enjoying these sections far more than its overworld exploration, turn-based combat, and more traditional RPG elements. It's an uneven experience, but occasionally it grasps greatness, making it a worthy addition to an already distinguished series."
Nintendo 3DS	Simon Parkin, Eurogamer	7/10	"While the usual Nintendo weight and sheen is present in the dialogue, the humour has an unexpected thinness, especially in the first half of the game before antagonist Antasma - a bat-king who shares Bowser's fondness for pointless and rather artless princess kidnapping - forms an alliance with the lizard. This is an enjoyable but rarely essential entry to the Mario & Luigi suite, then. AlphaDream is to be commended for its willingness to build each new game around a different kernel of an idea, but, perhaps inevitably, some of those ideas will be smaller than others."
Nintendo 3DS	Mark Walton, GameSpot	8/10	"The classy combat and quirky characters combined with a levelling system, ranking system, gear to upgrade, and collectible badges and puzzle pieces that offer up new powers make Dream Team a rich RPG. It's also laugh-out-loud funny, even more so if you're a fan of Mario games thanks to some wonderfully self-aware jokes. And while the core combat system and feel of the game remain largely unchanged from previous games in the series, the dream sections with their Luigi-based silliness add just enough to keep things feeling fresh. Mario & Luigi Dream Team is more refinement than reinvention, then, but boy is it a lot of fun."

Promotion

The North American version of the themed Nintendo 3DS XL

A special edition Nintendo 3DS XL with a Luigi-themed print was released in Japan, North America, and the United Kingdom as part of the event and includes a digital copy of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team pre-installed on the SD card.

On the Nintendo YouTube channel, a series of three videos were uploaded to promote the game. They depict Mario and Luigi doing various activites on Pi'illo Island, only for Luigi to fall asleep and open up a Dream Portal, causing Mario to enter the Dream World. The video then transitions to gameplay footage of a mechanic in the Dream World. In the first video, it shows the brothers going to bed and the battle against Mount Pajamaja as Giant Luigi. The second video show them preparing a meal and Mario using the Luiginary Stache Tree. The third video show them at a pool and Mario using the Luiginary Gravity. In each video, a secret phrase is given which allowed access to the "Dreaming with Mario & Luigi" sweepstake.^[6] By tweeting a secret phrase using the hashtag "#MarioLuigi", users were entered into the sweepstake. The secrets phrases are as follows:

Gigantic Luigi saves the day
Luigi's mustache saves the day
Defying gravity with Luigi saves the day

Three winners were given a black Nintendo 3DS XL and a copy of the game. The sweepstake ran from August 1, 2013 to August 16, 2013.

Glitches

Main article: List of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team glitches

One of the most common glitches in the game is that, at some points, any actions that require the 3DS's gyroscope to perform may result in the game not registering any movement from the system. Two of the most likely points for this to occur are during the Zeekeeper battle and during the "Repel the Shell" portion of the Giant Bowser battle. It is unknown what causes this to happen.

There are also some points in the game in which the game can freeze; this mostly occurs at Neo-Bowser Castle. However, the patch released on September 5, 2013, fixes instances in which this can occur.

Update history

This is the second 3DS Super Mario game to receive a patch, the first being Mario Kart 7.

Version 1.1

Date Released: 5 September, 2013

Description This patch fixes two bugs in the game that make it incompletable. The first one is on Mount Pajamaja, where the player would be unable to progress past the segment where Mario and Luigi must Spin Jump into the Massif Bros. to clear a field of icicles, should certain actions be taken, and another one that prevents Mario from completing the final Antasma battle in Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle (by causing the drop present containing the Dark Hammer to never open, causing the battle to never end, forcing the player to reset). The patch also fixes several bugs that cause the game to randomly freeze at inconvenient times. This patch also fixed a Miiverse exploit that could be performed by using pictures from the internet explorer, opening the game and then opening Miiverse.

Nintendo eShop Update Content Description:

Fixes a bug that occurs on Mount Pajamaja where the Massifs use a spin jump to break icicles. This bug makes it impossible to proceed past this point if the player takes certain actions.
Fixes a bug that prevents the player from finishing the final battle with Antasma.
Fixes other issues so that the game plays as intended.

Nintendo 3DS eShop description

American English version

Mario and Luigi embark on the adventure of their dreams in a hilarious action RPG that combines the real world with the wild landscapes of Luigi's imagination. In Luigi's dreams, anything is possible — legions of Luigis morph into forms like a bouncy tower or a wrecking ball. You can even poke a sleeping Luigi to alter events in his dream world. While on vacation on Pi'illo Island, the bros. discover that Luigi's sleeping mind can open portals to the dream world. Mario & Luigi can team up for supercharged Bros. Attacks. In the dream world, Mario can use Luiginary Attacks to assemble a hoard of Luigis into attack formations. Adventure with Mario & Luigi to not only rescue Peach, but to help Prince Dreambert free fellow Pi'illo folk from the bat-king Antasama's petrifying spell.

British English version

Uncover the power of Dreamy Luigi in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. on Nintendo 3DS!
In this fourth instalment of the popular RPG series Mario & Luigi, the story opens with Princess Peach and her staff, plus brothers Mario and Luigi in tow, being invited for a sightseeing trip to the mysterious Pi'illo Island by its equally mysterious proprietor, Dr Snoozemore. But after an initially hospitable welcoming to the island - albeit with Dr Snoozemore noticeably absent - things take a turn for the worse when Princess Peach is kidnapped and pulled into a Dream World by a new enemy in the series, the ghostly bat king Antasma.
Solve puzzles, battle enemies, and even interact with creations of Luigi's own imagination in order to succeed!

New moves and attacks that use the Nintendo 3DS system's capabilities in original ways.

References to other games

Donkey Kong: One of the Rank-Up bonuses in this game is called Jump Man, a reference to Mario's alternate name, Jumpman, for the arcade release.
Super Mario Bros.: A cover of this game's main theme is heard while a tutorial is being displayed.
Super Mario World: A Shelltop in Dozing Sands mentions Donut Plains.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island: In some versions of the game, Bowser before his Giant Battle states he invented transforming into a giant while Luigi was in the cradle.
Super Mario 64: One counter-attack Giant Luigi uses against Giant Bowser involves Luigi grabbing him by the tail and spinning him around before launching him off the platform, much like in the Bowser battles of Super Mario 64. Also, a Shelltop in Dozing Sands sings a song and mentions Jolly Roger Bay.
Paper Mario: In the third and final battle against Kamek in Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle, he creates three different colored clones of himself: red, green and white. The green clone can raise defense like Green Magikoopas and the white clone can heal its allies like White Magikoopas.
Luigi's Mansion series: One of the messages from Luigi displayed in Dream's Deep is "I fight ghosts!"
Super Mario Sunshine: Bowser Jr. uses his paintbrush as an attack. Also, the credits pictures are similar to this game's; showing Mario and Co. enjoying a vacation.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga: Popple and other Beanish characters appear in this game. Queen Bean makes a cameo in the Wakeport trading quest with one of the items being a photo of her. Part of Driftwood Shore's theme is a cover of Oho Oasis's music. The way the Mario Bros. get to Big Massif's Hooraws by having to go through their own puzzle-filled sections in Dreamy Wakeport is similar to how the Koopalings in Bowser's Castle were reached in the first game. When fighting Bowser Jr., he may summon two Shy Guys to carry a fiery rope that the brothers have to jump over to dodge in the same manner as the Border Bros in Superstar Saga. In this game, Somnom Woods serves as the penultimate area after collecting all the vital pieces of the Ultibed, just like how Joke's End was the second-to-last area to visit after collecting all the pieces of the Beanstar. Also, when perched on the Luiginary Stack, Mario's standing pose is his battle pose in Superstar Saga. A singing Shelltop in Dozing Sands mentions Hoohoo Mountain. Some elements of the battle theme are used from this game.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time: The Bros. Ball move from this game returns as a Bros. Move in the overworld, under the name Ball Hop, although it works differently. Also, Bowser resembles Shrowser when possessed by Antasma. Kylie Koopa also reappears along with a picture of a Shroob.
New Super Mario Bros. series: The sound effects for collecting Red Coins including the timer are the same as in these games.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: The badges are similar to the ones from this game. Starlow, Broque Monsieur, Broque Madame, Broggy, Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk, and Sergeant Guy return as well. Bowser's theme is reused. The Banzai Bill Cannon re-appears as well as a prop during the battle with Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk and Sergeant Guy. When Giant Luigi fights Giant Bowser in Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle, he referenced his giant battles from this game, and also said "SHOWTIME!" before the fight begins. In the final battle, before Bowser becomes Dreamy Bowser, he inhales the fragments of the shattered Dream Stone using the inhaling power he received in this game. The Earthwake battle plays out the same as the Tower of Yikk battle. The Mario icon on the Dreamy Mushrise Park pipe map is taken directly from this game. When achieving an "Excellent" with the Bye-Bye Cannon, Mario and Luigi both have similar poses to when they level up in this game.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii: Kamek disguises himself as Princess Peach again.
Super Mario 3D Land: Big Tail Goombas and Inky Piranha Plants appear in Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle and Neo Bowser Castle respectively.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star: The √ and X panels from the Check-X Quiz are similar to the √ and X blocks from Snifit or Whiffit.
New Super Mario Bros. U: Bombs very similar to the ones used by Lemmy Koopa in this game appear in the Bomb Derby attack.

References in later games

Luigi about to hammer some Shy Guys in the Bros. Attack Mega Thwonk in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam

The Mega Thwonk Bros. Attack from Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam reuses the Giant Luigi model from this game.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U: An arrangement of the theme "Try, Try Again" arranged by the original composer Yoko Shimomura is used as the alternate track for the Paper Mario stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and a selectable track for the Woolly World stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam: Many of the game's graphics are reused, although some characters have received new animations. All of Mario's and Luigi's battle animations are reused with the exception of new jumping in battle animations. One of the new Bros. Attacks, known as Mega Thwonk, features Luigi as a giant, using the same model from the Giant Battles in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. There are also two returning Bros. Attacks originally from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Similar to giant battles, Papercraft battles allow players to win four items. The name Neo Bowser Castle is re-used. Bowser's theme in Paper Jam is a cover of his theme from this game. Antasma makes a cameo in one of Bowser's Character Cards, which is actually their duel artwork from this game.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions: A cover of this game's minigame music is used for the Barrel and Chuckola Bounce minigames, as well as the tutorial for Splart. A poster of Prince Dreambert in front of a Zeekeeper statue can be seen in the lobby of Yoshi Theater. Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk, and Sergeant Guy all wear their Elite Trio garb from this game, although this is probably a developer oversight.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Prince Dreambert and Antasma appear as spirits.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership: There is a particular enemy in this game that strongly resembles a Thorb, with its colorization being a significant difference. Save Blocks in this game also have the same design as in Dream Team. The Extension Corps' eyes bear a resemblance to Antasma's eyes.

Trivia

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team is the second Super Mario game to receive an E10+ rating by the ESRB, the first being Mario Strikers Charged. This game was originally shown to be rated E by the ESRB like its predecessors,^[8] but was later changed to an E10+ rating. According to the ESRB, this was because of the giant bosses fought with Giant Luigi.^[9]
- This is also the final Super Mario game to use this design of the ESRB rating system logos. The reason for the change, starting from Mario Party: Island Tour onwards, is because the ESRB wanted to make it easier to see on mobile devices.^[10]
- The ACB also rated the game PG for “Mild Violence”, while earlier entries in the series received a G rating.
