Nintendo has released some new details for Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

The article was been shared on Nintendo’s official website in Japan, detailing the game’s setting, characters, as well as some of the new and returning Bros. Moves.

Check it all out below, via machine translation:

Story

The story takes place in the vast ocean of Conectal Land, a new world . Mario and Luigi, who come from the Mushroom Kingdom, travel to unknown islands adrift in the sea aboard Ship Island , home to a large tree called the Conectal Tree.

Characters

Mario is the well-known superstar of the Mushroom Kingdom and the protagonist of this game. While spending time with Luigi in the gardens of Peach’s castle, he is suddenly sucked into a mysterious vortex that appears in the sky and is sent to another place. After that, he meets Connetta and Tapu on Funajima and learns that the world he was sent to is Conectal Land.

Luigi is the other main character of this game, who is easily scared and a bit clumsy. In Connexal Land, you can see a slightly different side of him, such as solving various problems with sudden inspiration.

Connetta A kind-hearted girl who told Mario and Luigi about Connetal Land when they came from the Mushroom

Tapu is a slightly unique character who looks like a piggy

Setting

Conectar Land is home to a variety of “drifting islands” that serve as the setting for your adventure . Here we will introduce some of the drifting islands that can be reached from Funajima.

Gran Gran Island is filled with rugged, hard objects, including the sacred land of Gragradish. Objects made by residents who love to make things are displayed all over the island.

Tuis Island It is a tourist island blessed with abundant nature. A large tree with a strange shape called Twistree grows there and is the island’s landmark.

Savireta Island is an island with a miscellaneous collection of old buildings. Recently, it seems that kidnapper birds have been appearing frequently and kidnapping the island’s residents.

Xenialver Island is an urban island that contributed to the economic development of Conectar Land. Many of the residents are preoccupied with business, creating a hectic atmosphere.

Kandang Island, where half of the island is made up of magma, the other half is made up of ice. Two opposing races live here, and they seem to be fighting every day over some topic or another.

Combat

Battles with aggressive monsters await on each island. The key to victory is to use Mario and Luigi’s combined skills effectively .

Mario and Luigi can use their normal “hammer” and “jump” attacks, which can be turned into powerful “combination attacks” by pressing the buttons at the right time .

If you fail to input the buttons, the power of the attack will decrease, so the key is to be able to perform normal attacks in combination with each other. Also, if either Mario or Luigi is down, it will become a solo attack, so it is important to always have recovery items stocked up.

Bros Attacks

“Brother Attacks” are powerful techniques that consume BP (Brother Points) and can turn the tide of battle with a single blow. There are various types of Brother Attacks, and for example, the familiar “Red Shell” from the series can deal massive damage to one enemy , so it is recommended to use it in boss battles.

On the other hand, “Thunder Dynamo,” in which Mario and Luigi take turns generating electricity and striking down lightning, can attack all enemies , making it particularly useful in regular battles where you’re likely to be surrounded by multiple enemies.

The key to fighting well is to choose commands and techniques that suit the situation, so be sure to keep this in mind.

Boldrud Squad

It’s not just the monsters living on the island that stand in Mario and his friends’ way. There’s also a trio calling themselves the “Boldrud Squad,” and a suspicious character giving orders from behind the scenes. Although details have not been revealed, it seems that they will also be involved in a fierce battle against these people who operate behind the scenes of Concertal Land.

There are still plenty of actions and characters that have not been revealed in “Mario & Luigi RPG Brotherhood!” If you are interested, please wait for further information.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership releases November 7th 2024 for Switch.
