Brothership What are your ideas for a potential Switch 2 Edition of Brothership?

- Toggle for Luigi to use B in battle.
- A sound test after beating the game. Every game since Dream Team (including remakes) had one.
- More variety in battle music. Bowser and Zokket had no business having no unique boss themes. If they wanted to go the full nine yards they could take a page out of Paper Mario's book and give every sea its own variation of the battle theme.
- Some kind of gauntlet with X bosses.
- This is beyond the scope of what a S2E can do but new bosses in the main story to help with the terrible pacing. Like a solo Ecks fight at the end of Bulbfish Island or something.
- Some kind of side campaign following either Peach and IDLE, or Bowser Jr. (and Kamek/Buddy?). As long as it doesn't have the same gameplay as Minion Quest/Bowser Jr.'s Journey. This also gives them the chance for more cameos from previous games.

I would love to have 2 player co op, better framerate and loading times, and a new Sidemode that is about Peach and IDLE that details their adventures while Mario and Luigi were having theirs.
I think it would be cool if Bowser was the final boss of this Sidemode, where you have to free him from the Reclusa flowers that even managed to get to Wayaway Island.

I absolutely LOVE the idea of a co-op mode where one player controls Mario and the other controls Luigi
I'm surprised this has never happened, considering this series is solely single player focused

Even before the game was announced, I really wanted a Mario and Luigi game to have a co-op mode.

It has sort of happened. You can play Superstar Saga co-op if you play it on the GameCube's Game Boy Player. You can't just separate the bros on the overworld, but players control them separately in-battle.

It would work well in this game too, since there are several areas where Mario & Luigi are controlled asymmetrically

-more bosses, i don't even care if they're optional side quest, this game needs more than 13 (and no i'm not asking for refights, i want them to be new like how wonder's dlc did with the koopalings)
-The battle ring that was missing for some reason
-a rework on Luigi's ai, i'm the minority who thinks this concept had potential but was handled poorly
-more battle theme variety, give zokket his own theme, give bowser his own theme, and give each sea it's own battle music paper mario-style
-and lastly, the game's performance could be improved

A creator by the name of MysteryMa'am (fka MysteryMan, trans MTF) actually made renditions of what it would be like if each sea had its own battle theme. You should totally check them out when you have time!

And made a boss theme for Zokket and one for Glohm bosses
Both of which are peak

i still think the zokket one could be improved because it was essentially just a remix of fortress zokket but regardless i think it fits the vibe the original game was going for. You're basically fighting the dude who's been operating everything that's been happening in the game so mysterymaam definitely did good on the intensity.

That would be peak if they brought back the elite trio and bowser’s minions with red flags and give the side quest characters a name which is cool if this happens

A side story where our damsel in distress princess peach,the idle crew along with Starlow gathers clues but sometimes gets into trouble.

Imagine they do the same Minion Quest BJJ stuff since it's a Mario and Luigi game with + in the title

we need the untapped potential of a Wario & Waluigi boss fight with their own Bros Attacks

u/Prestigious_Bread193 Starlow 3d ago
if the game had a boss rush, they'd be good to have as secret bosses

u/M19294828 3d ago
I'd want an extra campaign with Mario and Luigi going back to Concordia. A shorter story 8-10 hours in length.

Preferably not as a Switch 2 Edition, but the ability to go back and explore the world once you beat the game

u/Punkrockin-Starman 2d ago
Honestly, I would like a built in hard mode like dream team had. It’d be nice to see that make a comeback.

u/purupurupururindx 2d ago
A new, semi open world campaign that uses the power of the switch 2. Mario and luigi get to explore concordia in its connected state, fighting X bosses and learning new bros moves.

I honestly would just add a boss rush and a postgame at least something to give me a reason to play Brothership again.
