Mario & Luigi: Brothership

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.

Mario & Luigi Brothership review

System: Switch
Release date: November 8, 2024
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Acquire / Nintendo


The last year or so has been a remarkable year for RPGs, especially ones with “Mario” in the title. We’ve already been graced with lavishly produced remakes of both Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door – and now, Nintendo is closing out the year with a brand new, wholly original RPG in the form of Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The Mario & Luigi series was originally helmed by Alphadream before their unfortunate closure in 2019, for Brothership, Nintendo has tapped Way of the Samurai and Tenchu developer Acquire to carry the torch forward. While the franchise’s new stewards have done an admirable job adhering to the series’ identity, some considerable missteps prevent the latest Mario & Luigi entry from reaching the lofty heights of its predecessors.

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 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.

Arc's Secret side quest Mario & Luigi Brothership

Arc’s Secret is one of Mario & Luigi: Brothership’s few missing side quests. It’s also most likely the first one you’ll be able to take on within the game’s story, and we’d recommend clearing it as soon as possible before you advance the main story. Here’s how to activate the side quest and what you get from completing it. There are very small story spoilers for the first five hours of the game within, so if you’re looking to avoid those details keep that in mind before you continue.
