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 English name is a pun on mothership but also refers to the relationship between Mario and Luigi.
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; it is currently unknown if any co-developers also contributed to Brothership. 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 strange, 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.
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.[13]
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.[14]
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 . 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, 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[17]. Emergency Guard[18] 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.

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[21] 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.

- 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.[14][32]
- 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 , 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.[23]

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 as enemies.
- Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time: On the Shipshape Island map, a Shroob makes a cameo appearance as a giant, stony sculpture.[34] 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.[30] 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.[34]
- Mario & Luigi: Dream Team: Some of the bros' animations were translated into 3D from this game. Some of Bowser's voice clips are reused from this game.[33] Bomb Derby reprises its role as a Bros. Attack; ミックストルネード (Mix Tornado) 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. Capnaps, Magmads and Iceads return as enemies.
- Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam: The brothers can flutter when dodging with jumps like Paper Mario when using the Easy-Peasy Counters Battle Plug.
- 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: A portion of the Mushroom Kingdom appears to be somewhat modeled after its depiction in this game.
