IDLE, Mario & Luigi: Brothership[1]

IDLE is a group of characters who appear in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. They are a team of four Concordian children, each with a yellow-orange band tied around a different part of their body. Its name is an acronym made up of the initials of their members:[1]

  • Ireen, a short, pink Concordian who wears her band as a hair bow.
  • Dulles, a lanky green Concordian with his band tied around his antenna.
  • Loog, a short blue Concordian wearing his band as a scarf.
  • Ellow, a stocky yellow Concordian wearing his band as a cape.

Princess Peach and a Dorrie join the group at a certain point in the game; the former wears her band around her right arm, and the latter around its neck.
