Travel influencers watch out, Mario and Luigi have already been globetrotting so hard for decades that they’ve even been traveling between whole other worlds. From running between the Mushroom Kingdom’s tall fungi to the skyscrapers of New Donk City and far, far beyond, they’re no strangers to discovering new lands. That’s why the pair are able to enter the world of Concordia with a spring in their step, the story of a land divided (ironically, “Concord” can mean “unity”) ample opportunity to team up for another brother-led cartoon-styled RPG in the long-running Mario & Luigi subseries. Fast FactsRelease date:November 7, 2024Platform(s):Nintendo SwitchDeveloper:AcquirePublisher:Nintendo Fast Facts Release date:November 7, 2024Platform(s):Nintendo SwitchDeveloper:AcquirePublisher:Nintendo Release date:November 7, 2024 Platform(s):Nintendo Switch Developer:Acquire Publisher:Nintendo After all, if there’s one thing the brothers love more than one another, it’s helping out those in need. Previously whole, Concordia has been split into multiple floating islands. This has weakened relationships and the land itself. This idea of strength through unity goes far beyond the setting and its name. It’s integral to the story and, to a large extent, gameplay itself. Combat, too, will be familiar to fans of the series. Enemies are visible as you explore, with battles initiated when you hit them or they hit you in classic turn-based RPG fashion. You and the enemy then politely take turns to hit one another, with the occasional guard or counter. At 35-45 hours or so depending on how much time you spend on side quests, there’s a lot of game here, but things are (mostly) paced well. Hammer sandwich (Image credit: Nintendo) The evolution of combat is a great example of this pacing in action. Mario and Luigi start off, as you’d expect, with a simple jump attack. Then after a while hammers are introduced as an option, and new enemies with unique attacks and counters are drip fed to you throughout the adventure. A dozen or so hours in you finally have what is more or less the complete orchestra of attacks and tactics to play as you see fit, with the occasional new powerful Bros Attack dropped in.

The right combination of Battle Plugs will produce something even more powerful. Combine a dizzying attack with a fire attack for a fiery tornado, or two ‘surprise iron balls’ for a lovely bit of bonus damage. Mario & Luigi: Brothership is peppered with subtle but meaningful examples of ‘stronger together’ messaging like this. (Image credit: Nintendo) Unfortunately, all subtlety is hurled out of the window with great force in the final hours, and the game slams you over the head with ‘friends good, solitude bad’ dialogue and questing. But that’s par enough for the course, and didn’t end up bothering me as much as a later quest that had me scratching my initial-embroidered cap trying to figure out where, across the whole world map, I was supposed to go next. The reason this needled me so much was that this was the first time I’d come across the problem. So much effort has gone into making this a frictionless yet enjoyable adventure. It’s an admirable goal with mixed results – the timing required for some enemy attack counters is brutally unforgiving, and I do wonder how younger players will fare with some of the more frustrating fights – but ordinarily, it’s a fair and fun game. Ship posting (Image credit: Nintendo) Puzzles make you think, but are never obtuse, and there’s usually a way to get a hint if you getreallystuck. My gripe above aside, the map and adventure log come together to always make it clear where you should head next. Fail a battle twice in a row, and you’ll get an option to replay it in Easy mode. Keep failingthatand you’re offered Cakewalk and, er, yes; I’m speaking from experience. It was only once though, okay? There’s a missed opportunity in the move to a fully 3D overworld, though. Each island has plenty of characters to chat to, and there are minigames, sidequests, and little secrets to be found. It’s nice enough, but therein lies the problem. It’s niceenough, never going above and beyond what’s necessary to provide a break from the fighting. It is perhaps unfair to hold a game to a higher standard simply because Mario and Luigi are in it, but that spectacular sense of wonder that people still refer to as Nintendo Magic isn’t quite here. It most definitely isn’t in the insta-fail stealth sections, an incredibly poorly-judged but thankfully rare addition to the experience. While there are a few welcome surprises throughout your journey, none of them reach the heights of the thrill each new kingdom inSuper Mario Odysseybrings – you’ll know what to expect from each new leg of the journey after a few hours in. (Image credit: Nintendo) “Luigi has a significantly more powerful Stache than Mario. That’s canon now.” “Luigi has a significantly more powerful Stache than Mario. That’s canon now.” Kudos to the team for the leveling system though, which offers a sense of progression without at any point bringing the story to a grinding halt as it so easily could have. Leveling up and equipping better gear has a noticeable effect, and I managed to hit a sufficiently high level before the end with a long list of optional quests yet to be completed. One stat, essentially representing a brother’s chance of scoring a critical hit, is named Stache. Luigi has a significantly more powerful Stache than Mario. That’s canon now. Luigi, in fact, is presented as a stronger and more powerful character here than usual. There’s no sign of the constantly quivering hero of Luigi’s Mansion. He also plays a vital part in the form of Luigi Logic. During exploration, these are scripted moments where he figures out a new ability or other way forward; in boss fights, it’s a limited opportunity requiring both Bros. that can deal major damage. It puts the brothers on a more even footing in terms of their relationship and how they support each other, and yes, it’s yet another carefully crafted example of harmony producing the best possible results. If you forget the heavy-handed messaging of the final stretch (I’mcertainly trying to), it’s easy to appreciate the way in which (most of) the script handles the idea of strength in social and familial bonds with surprising, admirable grace and intelligence. The humor and positivity gently push you along to the next island or quest, encouraging you to continue even when you stumble into one of the rare low points.
