monster mania 2 Mario Luigi Brothership

Today, we’re looking at Monster Mania 2, the second in a series of rather challenging side quests in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Whereas the first of these quests pits you against a group of nearly-invincible Krodes, this one sees you fighting a group of Hydro Seedles with high HP and the ability to completely restore their health in a single turn. There’s certainly a trick to getting through this one, and the key will be to use abilities you’ll have unlocked very recently.

Best Nintendo 3DS model 2024

Throughout its lifespan, Nintendo released a lot of different 3DS models. You had the original 3DS, 3DS XL, New 3DS, New 3DS XL, the standard 2DS, and New 2DS XL – and that’s not even counting all the special editions of each individual console. With Nintendo’s next hardware on the horizon, we figure today is as good a day as any to go over all of the major 3DS revisions and determine which one is the best.

The Switch is certainly Nintendo’s most popular console, but the 3DS has seen something of a small resurgence lately. This is in spite of its online play shutting down earlier this year – indeed, a fair number of players are either discovering the 3DS’ library for the first time, or reliving their nostalgia from over ten years ago.

monster mania 1 side quest Mario Luigi Brothership

Today, we’re looking at Monster Mania 1, which is one of the standard side quests in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Unlike other side quests we’ve reported on, this one is not missable and will remain available throughout the game’s main story. That being said, you might find it a little bit difficult if you don’t know what to do ahead of time. For this one, you need to take out three Krodes with ultra-high defense. Fortunately, there’s an easy solution to defeating them quickly with the help of Battle Plugs, a mechanic you’ll have been introduced to by the time you can take on this quest.

It's Dorrie side quest Mario Luigi Brothership

Today, we’re looking at It’s Dorrie, the third missable side quest in Mario & Luigi Brothership. This follows Arc’s Secret and Zokket’s Schemes, the first two missable side quests that become unavailable after you advance the story. This third side quest is available just before clearing the second Great Lighthouse, which comes roughly 12 hours into the game or so. If you’re not at that point and want to avoid story spoilers, it may be best to bookmark this page and come back once you start hearing about the second Great Lighthouse.

Lottacoins Island gate codes Mario Luigi Brothership

Somewhere around ten hours into Mario & Luigi Brothership, you’ll come across Lottacoins Island as part of the main quest. While we won’t go into any particular story details here, you’ll wind up having to figure out and then use codes to unlock gates to other areas. You’re supposed to find pieces of paper that show you an object, and from there you’re supposed to count the number of objects physically present in the area to determine the digit. But if you’re looking to skip all the searching, you’ve come to the right place – we have the Lottacoins Island gate codes so you can do just that.

Zokket's Schemes side quest Mario Luigi Brothership

Zokket’s Schemes is another one of Mario & Luigi: Brothership’s few missing side quests. It’s generally the second missable quest you’ll be able to take on within the game’s story, and as usual we’d recommend clearing it as soon as possible (as advancing the main story will render it impossible to finish). Here’s how to activate the Zokket’s Schemes side quest and what you get from completing it. There are very minor story spoilers within (area and location names), so make sure you’re okay with that before you continue.

Mario Kart 9 features

Mario Kart 8 was originally released for the Wii U in 2014. That’s over ten years ago! Since then, the game has received a host of refinements, updates, and new content. This includes everything from characters to courses to balance changes and everything in between. Then we got Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a renewed version of the game on Nintendo Switch – and it sold so incredibly well that Nintendo never got around to making an all-new entry on the console. It’s easy to see why, but with rumors of the Switch 2 swirling around as usual, it might be time for the Mario Kart franchise to look to the future. We think a hypothetical Mario Kart entry on Switch 2 needs a couple of key features to succeed – here’s everything we’d like to see in the next game.

Mario Luigi Brothership how long to beat

Now that Mario & Luigi: Brothership has officially launched, some fans might be curious as to how long it takes to beat the game.

As with all of the Mario RPG titles that have launched on Switch in the past year, Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a substantial experience with plenty of main story content as well as optional side quests to take on. For that reason, our time estimates for beating the game differ depending on if you’re speeding to the final boss or delving into all of the game’s side content.

3DS Ambassador Program

There are few situations in Nintendo’s history as interesting as the launch period for the Nintendo 3DS, which in modern times, is one of its more popular systems. This beloved little machine first launched in March 2011 at a price point of $249.99, and it boasted fully 3D gameplay for the first time on a Nintendo console (we choose to forget the Virtual Boy). Unfortunately, the Nintendo 3DS had something of a rocky start, to say the least. Things went downhill for the console rather quickly, and Nintendo had do something to get things back on the upswing – that’s where the 3DS Ambassador Program came in.

Today, we’re going over the history of the Nintendo 3DS’ launch, the 3DS Ambassador Program, and the games that were made available as part of the program.
