This is a list of hints that appear on the loading screens in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, appearing after battles.

List of hints

• "You can tell if it's Mario or Luigi getting attacked by watching the bad guy's moves real carefully."
• "You ever want to look at the whole area map? If so, tilt on the Main Menu!"
• "When the game's autosaving, there'll be a little twirly thing in the upper right."
• "If either bro. gets KO'd in battle, be sure to use an item to get him back up ASAP!"
• "Did you know that some blocks are practically invisible? You gotta look real close to spot 'em."
• "If you up your STACHE stat, you'll get more LUCKY results in battle."
• "You can equip one each of gloves and accessories, so choose wisely."
• "If you can't dodge, use an Emergency Guard. It'll at least reduce the damage taken."
• "Look, sometimes surviving is winning. Don't forget that you can run away from a battle with the Flee command."
• "If an enemy sneak attacks you from behind, you'll start the battle in an exposed position. Try not to do that."
• "If you ever forget the controls, just open up Settings & Guide, then Snoutlet School."
• "So it turns out that there are talking turnips. Who knew? Maybe they know something useful?"
• "Find any islets yet? You can check those out with a trip in the big cannon."
• "Look, a battle just goes better if you remember to set your Battle Plugs beforehand."
• "Watch out when the enemy is guarding—you might take some damage when you jump on 'em."
• "Watch your HP and BP gauges! Try to keep some recovery items on hand in case they get low."
• "If you don't know where to go, head toward the red mark on the map. Always trust a red mark."
• "Have you revisited any islands you already linked? There might be new stuff to see and do there!"
• "If you go fishing from Shipshape, you might catch something other than fish!"
• "You can't set a Battle Plug that's recharging. Keep fighting and wait until it's recharged."
