All hands on deck for an island-hopping adventure starring Mario and Luigi! The brothers return for a brand-new adventure on the high seas. Set sail with Mario and Luigi on Shipshape Island—part ship, part island—and journey through the vast world of Concordia. Launch out of Shipshape's cannon to visit, explore, and quest your way through islands that range from tropical rainforests to bustling cities. Meet new friends along the way, like Connie and Snoutlet (definitely not a pig), and encounter familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom like Peach and Bowser, who may help—or hinder—you on your journey. You'll have to rely on Mario and Luigi's brotherly bond to succeed. Use Bros. Moves to get past obstacles while you explore, and powerful Bros. Attacks in a dynamic twist on turn-based combat. You'll need every edge this "brothership" will give you to save the day!

Why We Love It
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is the RPG return we have been waiting for—and it was absolutely worth the wait. What strikes us first is the sheer personality radiating from every frame: Mario and Luigi have never been more expressive, with hilarious idle animations, side-eyes, and perfectly timed comedic beats that make the dialogue genuinely laugh-out-loud funny. The Shipshape Island hub is an inspired evolution of the series formula, transforming world navigation into a living, evolving strategy rather than a static map. Launching from a cannon to explore islands ranging from tropical rainforests to bustling cities keeps exploration fresh and exciting. Combat retains that addictive rhythm of perfectly timed Bros. Attacks, with new additions adding fresh layers of challenge and satisfaction. Meeting Connie and Snoutlet (definitely not a pig) alongside familiar faces like Peach and Bowser creates a perfect blend of new and nostalgic. Most importantly, Brothership understands what made the series beloved: it treats Mario and Luigi not as icons, but as two brothers relying on their bond to save the day. For longtime fans who grew up with Superstar Saga and newcomers discovering turn-based combat for the first time, Brothership is a triumphant, heartfelt, and endlessly charming comeback.
