Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Also known as: Mario & Luigi RPG: Brothership! (JP/KR), Mǎlì'ōu & Lùyìjí RPG Xiōngdì Qí Háng! [瑪利歐＆路易吉RPG 兄弟齊航！] (HK/TW), Mario et Luigi : L'Épopée fraternelle (FR), Mario & Luigi: Conexión fraternal (ES), Mario & Luigi: Fraternauti alla carica (IT) Developer: Acquire Publisher: Nintendo Platform: Nintendo Switch Released internationally: November 7, 2024 This game has unused areas. This game has hidden development-related text. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused models. This game has unused cinematics. This game has debugging material. This game has regional differences. This game has a prerelease article This game has a bugs page

To do: There are additional pieces of leftover debug content (text, graphics, etc.) in the game's files, look into this. Add directories of files into their descriptions, they may provide additional context. There are several differences in the game's international text compared to the Japanese version. Unused "Stone" (Frozen) status expressions Cover the developer interviews.

After five long years since the last game released (or eight not counting remakes), the Mario Bros. and unfortunately Starlow return in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, a sea sailing adventure where the brothers help to restore the land of Concordia. This adventure will test the brothers' bonds to the limits and force them to utilize their skills, Luigi's newfound power of logic, and his weird clunky AI to save the day.

This is also the first entry in the series to not be made by AlphaDream (as the company went under after the last game they released), so instead it was developed by Acquire under the guidance of a few key ex-AlphaDream staff members.

A NPC named SP_CHARA_TEST has placeholder and gibberish dialogue composed in a rather interesting way. Each language has their own unique dialogue. Assuming SP_CHARA is an abbreviation of special characters, this was likely used to test font rendering.

Placeholder Plug Combination Video (Plug_Combi_0120.bk2/Plug_Combi_0130.bk2)

Two identical files that show in-development footage of a standard Mario jump attack. It does not demonstrate any Battle Plug combination, so it was likely used as a placeholder instead.

Internal Project Name

The game is internally referred to as Vermillion. Vermillion is rather known as a red pigment being used for coloring paintings back in the 19th century.
