Mario & Luigi: Brothership (マリオ＆ルイージRPG ブラザーシップ！ Mario & Ruīji RPG: Burazāshippu!?, Mario & Luigi RPG: Brothership!) is a role-playing game for the Nintendo Switch. It is a sequel to Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Mario & Luigi: Brothership is the sixth installment of the Mario & Luigi series and the first to not be developed by AlphaDream, ever since the company went bankrupt in 2019, though many developers from AlphaDream returned to work on Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The game was released internationally on November 7, 2024.

The game was announced on the Nintendo Direct of June 18, 2024 and is the first game in the series available on a home console.[1]

Official solicitation[]

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 (who's definitely not a pig) and encounter familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom like Peach and Bowser, who may help 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![2]

In a peaceful daytime at the Mushroom Kingdom, Luigi is in panic as he is being chased by a swarm of bees in a forest near Peach's Castle. Mario calls out to Luigi as he runs spinning around him and accidentally heads off falling to a cliff before Mario takes his hand in time to save him. Soon, Mario and Luigi notice their hands begin to glow, and sees a strange portal close above them which sends the bros, and accidentally Princess Peach, Starlow, the Toads, Bowser, his son and his minions away to a different world called Concordia.
