All Aboard for Adventure! Mario & Luigi Set Sail in Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Get your sea legs ready, because Nintendo has just dropped anchor on an exciting new RPG voyage with Mario & Luigi: Brothership! This brand-new entry in the beloved Mario & Luigi series is setting sail exclusively on the Switch this November 7, and it’s bound to be the most seaworthy adventure yet! 🏝️⚓

It’s a whole new world for everyone’s favorite plumbing duo, and this time, it’s all happening on Shipshape Island—a bizarre blend of boat and landmass that’s teeming with adventure, danger, and probably a few Goombas who can’t swim. Let’s dive in, shall we?

🚢 Welcome to Shipshape Island! 🌴

Our story begins with Mario and Luigi embarking on a well-deserved vacation (because, let’s be honest, even heroes need some R&R). But it’s never just a vacation, is it? The brothers find themselves on Shipshape Island, a magnificent vessel that’s part island, part ship, and entirely chaos. It’s a floating paradise with one teeny-tiny problem—it’s in desperate need of repairs! What’s a heroic pair of plumbers to do? Fixing pipes is their bread and butter, after all!

But there’s more to this island than broken plumbing. Shipshape Island is your gateway to the sprawling world of Concordia, a series of islands each with their own unique themes, characters, and, of course, challenges. From lush tropical rainforests to bustling, urban landscapes, Concordia is a world of contrast and color, where adventure lurks around every corner—and so does trouble!

🧭 Meet the Crew and Set Sail! 🛳️

Joining Mario and Luigi are a colorful cast of new friends and a few familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom. Princess Peach has decided to come along for the ride (because what’s an adventure without a little royalty?), and Bowser, well, he’s… sort of on board, too. Who invited him? We’re not sure, but one thing’s for certain: things are going to get interesting!

As you sail from island to island, you’ll meet quirky new characters who’ll join your crew and help out with unique abilities. Each island has its own set of inhabitants who are more than willing to lend a hand (or a shell, or a wand, or whatever they happen to have) to our intrepid plumbers. You’ll need all the help you can get, because the world of Concordia is packed with puzzles to solve, enemies to battle, and treasures to find!

⚔️ Bros. Moves and Battles Like Never Before! 🤜🤛

What’s a Mario & Luigi game without some thrilling turn-based action? This time, the combat system has been completely revamped to include dynamic Bros. Moves and powerful Bros. Attacks that take full advantage of the brothers’ unbreakable bond.

You’ll need to master the art of teamwork if you want to keep the Brothership afloat. Navigate past obstacles with the classic Bros. Moves, like using Mario as a trampoline to reach high places or Luigi’s signature whirl to cross large gaps. But the real excitement comes in the form of Bros. Attacks, powerful combination moves that will let you stomp, spin, and bash your way through enemies in ways you’ve never seen before!

Get ready to unleash moves like the “Hammernado,” where Mario and Luigi use a giant hammer to create a twister of pain, or the “Shell Shock,” which sends enemies flying like bowling pins. Each attack is a wild, interactive experience that’ll keep you on your toes—and keep your enemies quaking in their boots!

🌈 Explore, Collect, and Upgrade! 💎🛠️

Each island in Concordia is packed with secrets waiting to be discovered. You’ll need to use your wits—and your Bros. Moves—to uncover hidden paths, find lost treasures, and collect precious Star Fragments, the key to keeping Shipshape Island in tip-top condition.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Customize Mario and Luigi with a variety of outfits and accessories that not only make them look snazzy, but also grant special abilities and stat boosts. Ever wanted to see Luigi in a dapper captain’s hat that boosts his HP? Or Mario sporting a pair of aviator goggles that make him immune to dizziness? Well, now’s your chance!

And if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you can take on side quests for the island’s inhabitants to earn extra rewards. Help a Shy Guy find his lost seaweed collection, or assist a Bob-omb who’s terrified of water in facing his fears. Each side quest is a delightful mini-adventure that’ll make you feel like the true hero of the high seas!

⛵ Are You Ready to Set Sail? 🌊

So, what are you waiting for? The Brothership is setting sail this November, and it’s going to be an epic journey filled with laughs, challenges, and, of course, plenty of plumber-powered heroics. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Mario & Luigi series or a newcomer looking for a rollicking RPG adventure, this game has something for everyone.

Get ready to chart your course, man the sails, and join Mario and Luigi as they embark on the greatest adventure yet. It’s time to keep the Brothership afloat and save the world of Concordia—one jump, spin, and hammer strike at a time!
