The Great Conductor is the guardian of Concordia in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, as well as Snoutlet's mentor. He is a giant pig-like creature with a green extension cable around him. When Concordia breaks apart, the Great Conductor calls upon Mario and Luigi to help bring it back together, and opens a portal in the Mushroom Kingdom that brings them to Concordia, inadvertently also bringing in Princess Peach, Bowser and their respective subjects. The Great Conductor remains hidden in Conductor Island to avoid being targeted by Zokket.
While Mario and Luigi escape Fortress Zokket after defeating Glohm Bowser, the Great Conductor speaks to them telepathically and encourages them to jump off a high ledge into the sea. Mario and Luigi wash up on Conductor Island where Snoutlet leads them to the Great Conductor's location. The Great Conductor reveals that Zokket is Cozette, Connie's mentor, and that he bestowed Luigi with the Luigi Logic ability. The Great Conductor decides to test the bros' bonds in a battle.
During the battle, all Battle Plugs are banned. The Great Conductor traps one of the bros in a giant cup and creates several duplicates also under cups. While the cups are lifted, the captured bro and the fakes perform a battle animation such as jumping or thinking of an action to use. The player must memorize which one matches the exact animation they normally use and break the correct cup; breaking a wrong one damages the non-captured bro. Once this is done several times, the bros must get an Excellent rating on several different Bros. Attacks; any lower rating or using the same Bros. Attack more than once heals the Great Conductor. If the bros fail too many times, the Great Conductor instantly defeats both bros.
Once the Great Conductor is satisfied, he allows Mario and Luigi to connect the island's lighthouse to Shipshape Island. Later on, while Mario and Luigi are gathering different people's bonds to reach the Soli-Tree and are one short, they visit the Great Conductor for advice on the last one. The Great Conductor advises them that even their foes have bonds with each other, hinting the Extension Corps.
After Mario and Luigi defeat Reclusa and restore Concordia, the Great Conductor uses the last of his power to send everyone back to the Mushroom Kingdom.
