The video first begins with a look at Concordia. Mario and Luigi are there to help restore the peace to the continent after it was destroyed and turned into multiple islands. This means part of the gameplay in Mario & Luigi: Brothership involves sailing to find additional locations, exploring them, dealing with problems there, and fighting enemies as you work your way toward reunification. Some of the first locations teased are Allsand Island, Heatfreeze Island, Raynforest Island, and Rumbla Island. Each one has its own biome. 

From there, it looks at exploration. There will be puzzles to solve, and both their hammers and jumps will be needed to get to places. They can also use Bros Moves to do things like cross gaps, get through small spaces, and use fire and ice to pass through blocked spaces. As for new Luigi Logic, it can be used to discover solutions to some of the puzzles.

The battle system is covered at the end of the Mario & Luigi: Brothership gameplay trailer. It shows how it is a turn-based system that also involves using timing and additional attacks to deal more damage, dodge, or counter. However, missing the timing means you could miss attacking or get hit. Battle Plug items can also be picked up and used in fights to deal different types of damage.

Here’s the latest trailer:

Mario & Luigi: Brothership will come to the Nintendo Switch on November 7, 2024.
