Mario & Luigi's Gameplay, Combat Unveiled!

Prepare for the upcoming release of Mario & Luigi: Brothership with this detailed look at its innovative turn-based combat! Nintendo Japan recently showcased exciting gameplay footage, character art, and strategic tips to help you conquer the ferocious monsters awaiting on each island.

Mastering Combat Techniques

New gameplay reveals highlight the importance of precise timing and skillful execution. Battles will challenge your reflexes with Quick Time Events (QTEs) integrated into attacks. Success hinges on your ability to flawlessly execute these timed inputs. Note that attack names may differ slightly in the English version.

Combination Attacks: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

The "Combination Attack" lets Mario and Luigi unleash devastating blows by simultaneously performing their basic hammer and jump attacks. Perfect timing is crucial; missed inputs reduce attack power. If one brother is incapacitated, the command will revert to a solo attack.

Brother Attacks: Unleash the Power of Brotherhood

Brother Attacks are powerful moves fueled by Brother Points (BP). These are particularly effective against tough bosses. The "Thunder Dynamo," for example, lets the brothers unleash AoE (area of effect) lightning strikes on multiple enemies.

Nintendo emphasizes adapting your strategy to each situation, choosing attacks based on enemy type and current conditions.

Solo Adventure Awaits

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a single-player experience. There's no co-op or multiplayer; you'll be solely responsible for harnessing the power of brotherhood to overcome every challenge. Get ready to embark on an epic solo adventure!
