How to complete all challenges in Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
If you’re going for full 100 percent completion in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, one part of the game you’ll need to clear is its 29 challenges. Despite being called challenges, most of these actually aren’t particularly challenging at all – moreso time-consuming. Challenges are completed by performing certain tasks in battle, and clearing each one grants a small reward. We’ve completed all 29 challenges in Mario & Luigi: Brothership and have a few tips for you if you’re looking to do the same.
Do note that some of these challenges involve using Bros. Moves, which means the name and identity of all ten Bros. Attacks will be spoiled here. The names of certain locations will be listed as well. We won’t be including any story details, however, so keep that in mind before you move on.
These Pokemon have not appeared in a new main series Nintendo Switch game
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re looking at all the unlucky Pokemon who have not been obtainable in any main series Nintendo Switch games.
The Nintendo Switch has seen two generations of Pokemon so far – three if you count the Let’s Go games. We’ve got the eighth generation, which includes Sword and Shield, Legends: Arceus, and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. And then there’s the ninth generation, which so far only includes Scarlet and Violet but will eventually include Legends: Z-A when it releases in 2025. With all those different games, though, there are still quite a few Pokemon that haven’t been usable in any new main series titles. To clarify what that means – today, we’re going to go over every Pokemon that has not appeared in Sword, Shield, Legends: Arceus, Scarlet, or Violet. Since Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are remakes, we aren’t counting them for this list even though they are technically main series games. One final note before we begin – The Pokemon Company has clarified that the Legends games do in fact count as main series.
The entire Mario & Luigi series, ranked

For the most part, the Mario & Luigi series fell dormant after the release of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Sure, we got remakes of Superstar Saga and eventually Bowser’s Inside Story on Nintendo 3DS – but for the longest time, there were no new entries at all. Then AlphaDream closed its doors after the somewhat expected failure of the Bowser’s Inside Story remake, which seemingly sealed the deal on the fate of this franchise. To everyone’s surprise, however, Mario & Luigi: Brothership was revealed at this year’s summer Nintendo Direct, and it’s developed by Acquire, the team behind Octopath Traveler. And with this new game on the horizon, we figure it’s as good a time as any to take a look at the rest of the Mario & Luigi series and how each of them holds up today.

Do It Yourself Challenge guide in Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is home to 29 different challenges. Most of them are easy, and involve simply getting an Excellent on each Bros. Move 30 times. One of them in particular, however, is not easy: the Do It Yourself challenge. For this one, you have to defeat 300 enemies without using wear or accessories. You can use Boots and Hammer equipment, to be clear, but nothing else.
Other than the obvious 300 enemy count being a hindrance, there’s another problem with the Do It Yourself challenge: after a certain point in the story, it becomes more difficult to find weak enemies. We’ll explain why in a moment, but if you want to avoid spoilers, you may want to return later. In the meantime, an important word of advice: wherever you are in the story right now, we’d recommend starting to work on this challenge. It gets tougher if you clear the main story first!

Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re looking at Monster Mania 4, one of the tougher side quests found in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. In fact, the entire Monster Mania line of side quests is on the more difficult end of challenges you’ll find in the game. Monster Mania 1 and 2 both require some extra strategy, while Monster Mania 3 is unexpectedly easier. Monster Mania 4, however, is right back to challenging with a group of Bob-ombs that knock you out in one hit.

Today, we’re looking at Dueling Geniuses, which is one of the later missable side quests you will take on in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. It’s at the very end of the game, somewhere around 35 hours in. Given that this side quest takes place near the final boss and ending, you may want to bookmark this page and come back later to avoid potential story spoilers.
Celebrating ten years of amiibo, Nintendo’s most successful experiment
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
This Thursday, November 21, marked a momentous occasion – the ten-year anniversary of amiibo, Nintendo’s beloved lineup of figurines and cards. Over the years, Nintendo has released over 200 unique figures and – if you count all the Animal Crossing cards – well over 800 amiibo in total. Given the recent news that the Nintendo Switch successor will include backwards compatibility with Switch software (and therefore amiibo functionality), it seems Nintendo is keen to continue increasing this number as the years go by. So today, we’re looking at the past, present, and future of amiibo figures, starting from its very beginning on this day ten years ago.

Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re looking at Technikki’s Past, the second-to-last missable side quest in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. This quest doesn’t come about until much later in the game – we only unlocked it at around 25 hours in, for instance. Given how late in the game this quest comes up, there are some spoilers involving what parts of the game you’ll need to have cleared before you can unlock it. If you’re looking to avoid all spoilers, then feel free to bookmark this post and come back later.

Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re looking at Fear of Glohm, another missable side quest in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. After clearing a certain icy island (which we won’t specify by name until later in the post, for those of you avoiding spoilers), you’ll unlock two side quests: Fear of Glohm and A Big Debate, the latter of which being incredibly easy to clear. Both of these side quests are missable, and of the two, Fear of Glohm is a bit more involved.
Monster Mania 2 side quest guide for Mario & Luigi Brothership
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
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.
