Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a role-playing game 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 is both the first Mario & Luigi game to be initially released for a home console, as well as the first in the series to feature Kevin Afghani's voice work. 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 Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey.
First announced during the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, Mario & Luigi: 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 returned for the development of Brothership in key roles.[11] Acquire assumed the role of lead developer, known for their work on the Tenchu and Octopath Traveler series. The game was made using Unreal Engine 4.[12]
The game's Japanese and English name is a pun on "mothership" but also refers to the relationship between Mario and Luigi. It is also the first entry in the series to adopt the same subtitle in Japan as the localized releases, as past Mario & Luigi games except Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, which was subtitled Paper Mario MIX, were simply treated as numbered sequels there.
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, Princess Peach, the Toads, Bowser, and his minions away to a distant land named Concordia.[10]
Upon arrival, Mario wakes up at a distant island all alone and thinks about where Luigi could have gone. He suddenly starts hearing Luigi calling his name, and Mario tries to go to where the source of the sound is. Eventually, he hears one last call from Luigi as he sees Shipshape Island sailing. Mario and Luigi spot each other and the former tries making a jump to the island. While almost not making it, Luigi saves Mario and the two are reunited once again. Mario then meets 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 (similar to Princess Peach's Castle in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time), 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, accessed by examining the cannon or pressing , and the player can find and travel to different islands. On the Ocean Map, the player can choose which current to travel on, and the speed at which Shipshape Island moves, between regular and faster speeds by pressing . The player can navigate on the island as it moves to its destination point.[15] More NPCs appear on the island as the player visits other islands.
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 or under a certain status condition (eg. dizzy), 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] The brothers pass the shell back and forth for Mario making a powerful kick aimed at one enemy.
- Hatch Me if You Can: Costs 7 BP to use.[13] Mario pulls out a Yoshi Egg then it flys off-screen, the brothers walk in position waiting for it to fall back for the corresponding brother to dive for it, the other brother has to set it up as it is over his head, then both brothers aim and spike the Yoshi Egg at any enemies within a radius. The Yoshi Egg causes damage to an enemy on hit, and creates a shockwave to damage enemies within radius, after which Yoshi emerges and Ground Pounds the same enemy struck before for additional damage.[20]
- Bomb Derby: Costs 10 BP to use.[19] Luigi throws bombs at Mario which he hits at the enemies with his hammer, the attack ends with the final bomb being hit up and spawns homing missiles to attack all the enemies.
- Clockout Blow[21]: Costs 12 BP to use. An attack where Mario uses a clock to slow down time, then he and Luigi attack the enemies with their hammers repeatedly as they show up on screen, after a while one of the enemies will be hit into the air and juggled by the brothers, ending with a final strike from both bros together sending them back to the ground.[19]
- Conductor Connector[22]: Costs 15 BP to use. Mario and Luigi fly on the Great Conductor into space on a wire, as they reached space, Mario has to pull back to slingshot himself at the orbiting energy satellites and Luigi has to stop him to plug to them at the right time, doing so after two more rounds of the map expanding that reveals more of them, the laser is charged up where the brother comes back down to the battlefield, aims the laser at one of the enemies and lines up the crosshair, dealing massive damage to it and create a lingering shockwave that damage all enemies multiple times.
- Luigi
- Green Shell: Costs 5 BP to use. The brothers kick the shell at the enemies each pass which ends with Luigi making a kick that hits all grounded enemies.
- Zapperator[23][24]: Costs 7 BP to use; requires the player to alternate between the and buttons, then press the 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] The brothers walk to the foreground, Mario wears the Jump Helmet and moves left or right for Luigi to jump higher and higher, making him harder to see, it ends with Luigi doing a powerful jump at one enemy.
- Yoo Who Cannon: Costs 12 BP to use.[19] Nine cannons are summoned, eight of them cover and create clones of Mario and Luigi, they have to be remembered when the cannons are firing one at a time which brother is in it; the final one has an explosion symbol instead of a red and green arrow placed behind the enemies, each successful shot the clones will fall into it after bouncing off the enemy, making it bigger, and the attack ends with the clones being shot out and spinning rapidly as a giant Bro Ball, doing a U-turn and hitting all enemies.
- Max-Mix Vortex[25]: Costs 14 BP to use. Mario and Luigi must throw fireballs and iceballs on the tornado, once it is filled, they do a spin jump in it so that they can then control and catch enemies in.[19]
Battle Plugs
A new battle feature in this game is Battle Plugs, it functions similarly 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[26] 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.

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. Bosses' health bars are larger and constantly displayed on the top-right of the screen while Mario and Luigi are selecting battle commands.
- 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][39]
- Upon initiating a battle, instead of Mario and Luigi just being in the battle, they run towards where the enemies are in battle.
- When the rear brother is hit from behind, it no longer causes the Trip status. Instead, it lets the enemy attack first, regardless of Speed stat.
- 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 , 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.[29]
- is now used for selecting a battle command for Luigi instead of , which instead cancels a battle command (done by in previous titles)
- HP Up+ Rank-Up bonus only gives +1 HP per level up instead of 2.[15]
- Jump and Hammer attack stats are shown separately from the POW stat in previous Mario & Luigi games.[15]
- Spin Jumps has been replaced by the brothers turning into a UFO.
- A Wiggler does not appear as a boss in any form.
- 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.[31]
- Tutorial battles no longer have characters instructing the player on battle moves, as tip prompts in this game pop on the screen.[51]
- If no inputs are made when selecting a Command Block in the middle of a battle, the game will go into an idle mode where the camera will switch between various angles of Mario, Luigi, and the enemy.
- All returning Bros. Attacks have changed and end with a stylish cutscene when performed perfectly.
- Red Shell no longer works virtually the same as Green Shell, it passes between Mario and Luigi directly, the end starts with Luigi lobbing the red shell up and Mario strikes it at one enemy only. It can target enemies in the air.
- Green Shell starts the same but ends with Luigi kicking it to the side then curves to hit all ground enemies.
- Bomb Derby starts the same but ends with a bomb being hit up and summoning missiles to damage all enemies
- Jump Helmet works similarly to its 2D counterpart, instead of the wearer moving back and forth when jumping closer to the enemy from the back of the battlefield, the brothers walk to the foreground and move left and right. Also, the roles have been reversed as Mario is the one wearing the Jump Helmet and Luigi is the one jumping.
- Yoo Who Cannon starts the same but adds an extra cannon behind the enemies, each successful hit causes the cloned brother to bounce off the enemies and fall into the cannon, making it even bigger, and finally it can be shot to damage all enemies.
- The bros can now level up twice than usual after beating certain boss fights.
- Save files are now saved, loaded, and copied in the same manner to Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Additionally, there are now five save files instead of two, like in Odyssey.
- At certain points, the player can choose what they would like to do next. The story can be slightly or drastically altered as a result of this.
- The final boss has several differences from those in the previous games:
- The area in which they are fought is not a castle as is the case in the previous games, taking place in a tree.
- As the main antagonist, they do not have a different form.
- They are airborne, while the others are on the ground.
- They are not Bowser or connected to him in any way.
- They do not have separate targets for which the player is required to disable in order to target the main part.
Reception
Critical reception
Upon its release, Mario & Luigi: Brothership was met with generally positive reviews from critics. Most reviewers praised the game's unique art style, graphics and refined battle mechanics, with particular attention given to the new Battle Plug system. Many critics also praised the game's story and writing, appreciating the humorous and heartfelt elements throughout the plot and its characters. However, Brothership received criticism for its pacing and overall length, with many reviewers feeling that the game felt padded out with an overabundance of tutorials and side content. Concerns were also raised over the game's technical performance on the Nintendo Switch, with stuttering and inconsistent framerate being commonly mentioned as negatives. Steve Watts of GameSpot gave it a 6/10, feeling that the game's increased length made it too ambitious for its own good. Logan Plant of IGN was critical of the game, giving it a 5/10 and ranking it the third worst Mario RPG in an article. He lambasted its technical performance, calling it one of the worst-performing games on the Switch, and criticized its "overly chatty and hand-holding" writing, its story, which he deemed "unoriginal", and the humor. He also criticized Luigi's controls in the overworld for his automated jumps and his involvement in puzzles with the Luigi Logic mechanic, saying that it fumbles his role by relegating him to an "NPC ally" and making him "more of a pain than a partner," deeming the game as "a disappointing revival that fundamentally misunderstands what made the series great."

Release | Reviewer, Publication | Score | Comment |
Nintendo Switch | Ozzie Mejia, Shacknews | 9/10 | "It takes a special kind of game to stand among the ranks of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Mario & Luigi: Brothership is on that level with an unforgettable story, lovable characters, a deeper-than-expected combat system, and beautifully drawn environments. After so many hours spent playing the game and additional hours of giving it some extra thought, this could very well be the peak of Mario's RPG adventures to date." |
Nintendo Switch | Shannon Liao, Inverse | 8/10 | "Bringing classic RPG elements with more robust animation and fresh writing, Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a meaty feast for the eyes. It clearly has a lot of heart, too, especially for a game meant for kids. I was excited to see the all-new original story and where it would take the brothers, but Brothership doesn’t hit its stride until 20 hours in — and even then, its story beats are largely predictable. Brothership is a sleek product that’s designed to be entertaining. You can never really be disappointed, but nor are you really surprised too often. For those who do decide to delve in and grind to the end, Brothership has a message about how we’re all in this together." |
Nintendo Switch | Christian Donlan, Eurogamer | 4/5 | "While Brothership isn't the series at its very best, it's still a Mario & Luigi RPG, and these always contain moments of colour and wit and invention that I'm extremely glad I was present for. Mario and Luigi are already money in the bank, in other words. Throw in a bit of island hopping and I'm still happy." |
Nintendo Switch | Steve Watts, GameSpot | 6/10 | "The Mario & Luigi games are full-fledged RPGs, but they're compact, usually topping out at around 25 hours. Brothership seemed intent on hitting a lengthier playtime, and it just can't sustain itself for that long. That length may have been born from a desire to create a big, meaty RPG, but in the end, it mostly serves to accentuate the simplicity in all aspects. Stretched over so many hours, exploration becomes dull, combat feels repetitive, and the story can't sustain itself. Mario & Luigi: Brothership is well made and has some great ideas, but in breaking free of its handheld limitations, it becomes too ambitious for its own good." |
Nintendo Switch | Logan Plant, IGN | 5/10 | "Mario & Luigi: Brothership – the only fully original adventure so far in this plumber roleplaying renaissance – is easily the worst of the bunch, and an incredibly frustrating return for a series I hold dear. Apart from its action-packed, turn-based battles, it fails in almost every way to recapture the magic of the best Mario & Luigi games while also clinging to their bad habits like ridiculously chatty dialogue, overbearing hand-holding, and boring, runtime-padding fetch quests. Couple that with shockingly bad performance issues that distract at nearly every turn, and the nearly 10-year wait for a brand new Mario & Luigi game hardly felt worth it by the time the credits rolled." |

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.[85] 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.

References to other media
- Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga: Normal Jump and Hammer attacks are similar to Bros. Attacks where the brothers do not use items and simply doing acrobatics. One of the Luigi Logics has him enter a barrel while peeking out from the top, similar to what he can do when popping out from the ground under a barrel after Dunk Hammer. Sharkbones return despite not technically fightable. [20] A rock sculpture of Prince Peasley can be discovered on the Shipshape Island map, named Princley Reef.
- Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time: On the Shipshape Island map, the player may discover a giant Shroob-like sculpture named the Mushroob Reef.[41][86] The Bros. Ball move returns.
- Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: Some of the bros' animations were translated into 3D from this game. A rock-strewn statue of Broque Monsieur can be seen on Shipshape Island. The Broque Reef which features a giant carving of Broque Monsieur is also visible on the Color-Full Sea.[37] The Yoo Who Cannon and Jump Helmet reprise their roles as Bros. Attacks. There is a minigame to bloom flowers to form a path which is similar to the one in Arm Center.[41] Also, "Chippy" (the name Bowser gave to Starlow during the game) returns. In a sidequest, Starlow visits Bowser to bring him his favorite food, the Hot Drumstick, which was one of Bowser's main healing items in this game.
- Mario & Luigi: Dream Team: Some of the bros' animations were translated into 3D from this game. Some of Peach and Bowser's voice clips are reused from this game.[40] Bomb Derby reprises its role as a Bros. Attack; Max-Mix Vortex and Luiginary Typhoon function virtually the same after the windup, using the / to move the typhoon/tornado around while mashing for the Luiginoids to hammer enemies or for both bros to throw fire and ice balls at them. Also, Capnaps, Magmads and Iceads return as enemies, and the letter "R" is again used to indicate a harder version of enemy variants. A rock sculpture of the Zeekeeper can be discovered on the Shipshape Island map, named Dream-Guardian Reef.
- Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam: The brothers can flutter when dodging with jumps like Paper Mario when using the Easy-Peasy Counters Battle Plug. In one sequence, Snoutlet asks if Mario or Luigi could "Turn flat and slide through gaps", referencing Paper Mario's ability to slide between small spaces, both in Paper Jam itself, and the overall Paper Mario (series).
- Bowser Jr.'s Journey: In one sequence, Kamek tells Bowser Jr. that "True allies are with you for life", calling back to the events of this game.
- Super Mario Bros. 3: A rendition of the Fortress theme from this game can be heard.
- Super Mario 64: One character interaction mentions "Riding on a spinning Koopa Troopa", an ability that originates from this game. A rendition of Inside the Castle Walls from this game can be heard.
- Yoshi's Story: Some of Yoshi's voice clips are reused from this game.
- Super Mario 64 DS: Some of Yoshi's voice clips are reused from this game.
- New Super Mario Bros. U: The magic blocks from Kamek's battle appears as part of an attack by the Magikoopa enemies.
- Super Mario 3D World: Some of Peach's voice clips are reused from this game.
- Mario Kart 8: Some of Peach's voice clips are reused from this game.
- Super Mario Odyssey: The Mushroom Kingdom appears to be somewhat modeled after its depiction in this game.
- The Super Mario Bros. Movie: Mario and Luigi flying through and being separated in the portal to Concordia is similar to the scene in the Warp Zone from the film.
- Super Paper Mario: A reimagined rendition of the Return Pipe item appears, serving the same function as it did in that game. However, it's design now resembles a Golden Pipe.
- Mario Strikers (series): The Green Shell and Red Shell items both feature animations on the final kicks of each attack that resemble the Super Strike animations from the series, with the Shells being set ablaze in a similar fashion.
References in other games
- Super Mario Run: Nine missions are issued that promote the release of the game. Completing three missions each will award the player with three statues, one modeled after Mario & Connie, one modeled after Luigi and Snoutlet, and a third featuring the Mario Bros. as they appeared in the game. Shipshape Island is given a direct reference in the Mario & Connie Statue's flavor text, while the overall locale of Concordia is given an indirect mention as "islands adrift in the currents" in the Mario & Luigi Statue's flavor text.

- Although the fake Mushroom Kingdom within the Soli-Tree has colored hills resembling those from New Super Mario Bros. Wii in the background, said hills do not show up in the actual Mushroom Kingdom in the opening and ending cutscenes.
