Over there, Mario and Luigi They will meet several allies, like the friendly Porcopolo (which is definitely not a pig) or a Conettaa young woman who offers the brothers a deal: she will help them return home if they help the inhabitants of Concordia with the mess in which they find themselves involved.
That’s how it begins an adventure aboard Nao Island where we will have to discover and visit different islands to connect them to the great Connecttree and thus restore peace. However, this will not be an easy task, since many of the most dangerous enemies will not want to make it easy for our favorite brothers.

As we told them before, nao island serves as the nerve center of this adventure. In the purest style The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Wakerwe will sail the seas of Concordia in search of new islands to link back to the great Conectárbol. For that, we will have to set a course and establish contact with the new island making use of a large telescope that also acts as a cannon to send us shooting to our destination.
Every island of Mario & Luigi: Brotherly Connection It is its own challenge, with different puzzles in which we will have to use our ingenuity, enemies that will catapult us to engage in turn-based combat very reminiscent of the classic games of the franchise and characters that we will have to meet and help out.
If there is a mechanic that has caught our attention because of what we have played so far, it is none other than Luigi’s ideas: with them, we can command him to help us carry out tasks as boring as breaking boxes, but it will also help us solve puzzles or even carry out special attacks against the different bosses, It’s extremely useful!
Nor can we ignore tandem actionswhich will allow us to explore the islands at our leisure thanks to the power that unites Mario and Luigitransforming them into different things that will allow us to advance through the archipelago of islands that makes up Concordia.
An exquisite combat system
We just told you that the combat system of Mario & Luigi: Brotherly Connection It reminds us of the classic games of the franchise, and the truth is that we love that. In these turn-based confrontations we will have to take into account the times to carry out attacks (jumping or with the hammer) or dodge those of our enemies. We will also have different objects at our disposal and, of course, tandem attacks: special abilities where Mario and Luigi’s powers combine to deal devastating damage to anyone who confronts them.
In general, the good feelings that the more role-playing aspects of this adventure are leaving us are reinforced by an exquisite and very cartoony visual section which is enhanced by a top-notch soundtrack that is making us have a blast.
The return through the front door of Mario and Luigi
With a hilarious story and a sea of tenderness, a classic but fun combat system and a lot of islands to discover and explore, Mario & Luigi: Brotherly Connection seems like a real gem to us.
