From the first look at gameplay, Mario & Luigi: Brothership looks similar to previous entries in the RPG franchise, where players control the two brothers –Mario & Luigi — at the same time while exploring the world. When battles take place, each of the brothers is mapped to a different button on the controller.
A part of the trailer shows the brothers being launched from a cannon to a different island in the game’s new seafaring world, much like the start cannons in Super Mario Galaxy. It seems that whatever Mario & Luigi are trying to do, they must explore many of these different islands to do so.
As well as a look at the return to the turn-based battles of the series, there is a brief look at some platforming and exploration as well, and much like battles, the brothers are again mapped to different buttons. One example shows Mario and Luigi climbing up a series of platforms, swapping between the A and the B buttons to make the other brother jump.
That’s all there is on Mario & Luigi: Brothership for now, but we’ll update this guide as soon as more information is available. For even more Koopa-stomping content, be sure to check out our guide to the best Mario games of all time next.
