Lets Play Mario and Luigi Brothership (BLIND) - Part 1 - We Are So BACK

[@NekoKasane]

There's kind of a "lore reason" why the Stache icon is Luigis mustache. In previous M&L games NPCs would often emphasize how amazing and well-groomed Luigis stache is, so I suppose it's canon that he has a nicer mustache than Mario.

[@massgunner4152]

Also historically, Luigi's mustache in all M&L games is always higher than Mario, Brothership has be the biggest difference so far.

[@RyukSan_1470]

When Mario was seeing Luigi hallucinations It was giving me "Mario the accident was 20 years ago, it's not your fault" vibes.

[@coopinatormusic6214]

The Emergency Guard was a feature added in Paper Jam, and carried over to the remakes of Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story. The Attack Combos are new to this game. Stache increases the chance of getting Lucky Hits, which are like critical hits in Pokemon.

[@Aktedya1-jt7vw]

Stache could also charm shop keepers into decreasing the price of items and gear in previous games. Not sure if that's still the case here though

[@davidhower7095]

Notably, “Critical” hits are still in the game, they’re just not related to Stache at all. They’re like… weakspot hits.

[@TimmyTam]

I love how one of the central game mechanics of this game is just "let him cook" luigi edition. 10/10

[@puckthethief4237]

34:48 Stache dictates lucky hits chance, also I can not wait to play this for myself

[@mklip2001]

In Superstar Saga, a higher Stache stat would also make shops cheaper. I wonder if that still applies here.

[@kildaver]

This is my first Mario and Luigi game, and I gotta say...I feel like I missed out. "Mario...it's been ten years, Mario...ya gotta let me go, Mario..."

[@seansilence2697]

I love the color pallette choices on this game. The whole aesthetic really. I feel like, if nothing else, Switch games have been gorgeous looking lately

[@charismaentertainer]

The reason I love RPGs like Mario & Luigi + undertale is because you can dodge enemy attacks with your own input and even counter. That’s freaking awesome. There need to me more games like this honestly. Superstar saga (3DS) & Dreamteam are my favourites lol

[@SpamtonPFP]

Fellow Dream Team enjoyer 🤝

IT'S HAPPENING

[@Bozusan108]

NOBODY PANIC!

[@CorlenoftheRoundTable]

I WAS WAITING FOR THESE GUYS TO PLAY IT, I MADE SURE I DIDNT LOOK AT A SINGLE SPOILER UNTIL THEY PLAYED IT, BUT NOW ITS HERE!!!

[@Tribdinosaur]

I love watching Casey and Ian: Save the LEGO People

[@Ax0_1t01]

Hey it's another KZbinr I watch

[@Tribdinosaur]

@@Ax0_1t01omg hi?? i see we’re both BLG fans

[@mrcwillis6970]

So far a few hours in and I’m loving it. The look, animations and the music especially. Feels great all Mario RPGs are back. ❤💚

[@WorkerGuyS]

AAAAAAHHHH, it's already out!!! I was planning to wait until the Switch 2 came out to play this, but I guess I'm watching this for now.

[@BaconNuke]

One thing I really like is that Luigi isn't being the butt of a joke.. like sure there is slapstick with him but we don't have Starlow or Stuffwel just ragging on him in almost all the times they are on screen together... Snoutlet actually being nice to Luigi is a nice change of pace and makes me like them more than past "inventory characters" or whatever Also I absolutely *love* the bros actually showing how much they love and care for each other.. like is it weird to say I wish the solo Mario section was longer just so we get a feeling of "oh we *need* to find Luigi" since.. fun fact... there is *one* mandatory battle before the bros are reunited.. so the whole intro splitting them up felt pointless.. like if we has solo sections for both or something I would have felt like we actually were getting them back together.. also would help mitigate the whole "Luigi confirms with A" a tiny bit better for returning players I just wish Luigi *didn't* automatically do everything automatically to follow Mario.. what is the point of a jump button for them when.. the only time I use it is in battle? You wondered about "what if I take too long" with an island and... you actually can... and then you have to wait to go around again... so glad the loops the ship and islands travel on in the early game are small so it isn't too long a wait but it was funny when I did it and just.. straight up watched an island drift away and was like "welp... now I know"

[@richardkirkland6805]

I'll tell you now, Stache is basically luck. Higher Stache gives you a higher chance to get Lucky hits (basically critical hits), as well as give you discounts in shops.

[@TheBlueWonder03]

Well, thanks for the tip. Now I understand and get it.

[@ninjamaster9094]

Boo Biscuits are effectively a training item. You can’t take damage, but you also can’t take turns or deal counter damage. They’re there to help you practice against enemy attacks without fear of taking damage

[@BluntmanEXE]

I love that the opening paid homage to the Super Mario Bros Movie.

[@SpamtonPFP]

Important to note: you can actually unequip items and have nothing in a slot. Also, there’s a special challenge that will grant unique rewards for defeating a ton of enemies with no equipment of any kind on both Mario and Luigi. As a matter of fact, there are similar challenges that are also worth trying to get that you can read about in the menu!

[@JackitK]

39:35 if i had a nickle every time someone pointed out how Luigi could have gone slightly more right for an easier time, then I would have a lot of nickles.

[@LegendOfMario]

29:50 STACHE is your luck stat. The higher it is, the more likely it is for you to get in a Lucky Hit, dealing more damage than usual. It used to also reduce prices for items bought and increase the sell value of your own items when sold, but this isn't the case this time around.

[@Tudsamfa]

1:50 I never played Sparks of Hope, but I remember this also happening in the Mario Movie. Seems like whenever Peach isn't the Damsel in distress, Luigi has to play that role.

[@gruffalo14]

Small correction: the portal thing happened in Kingdom Battle (Sparks of Hope’s predecessor).

[@SergioRamos-iv6qw]

I've never interacted with any of the mario & luigi games before, but this one piqued my interest

[@hyper_lynx]

12:10 First 15 minutes of the new mario games is CRAZY aha

[@llewelynshingler2173]

Dunno who the voice actor is these days, but he nailed the "Luigi screaming Mario's name"

[@hahahehehoho612]

I still can't believe this game dropped on my birthday 😭

[@notoriousyolkhound4600]

I like how in the thumbnail it looks like Ian, Casey, and Luigi are watching Mario run away

[@jaybird18]

This game is making me all sorts of nostalgic. I played Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story when I was a kid over and over. To this day, that is one of my favorite games--I'll pull out my old DS and replay it sometimes even now. So to see all the little things in this game that are the same or similar to that game is making me so so happy. Like I actually gasped when I saw that the level up is tied to the flagpole, or how the command blocks are the same colors. Needless to say, I am very excited for this series. (Yes, I know I am two months late; you guys upload at turbo speed and I just cannot keep up haha) Thanks for always brightening my day with your humor and entertaining stories. Keep it up!

[@spread-o913]

IM SO HAPPY U GUYS ARE DOING THIS ON THE CHANNEL!! MARIO & LUIGI IS MY CHILDHOOD!! ive already played this game for 10+ hours 😭

[@Kirbysnumberonefan-1992]

I just got the game for Christmas so I can finally watch my favourite let’s players play my favourite rpg series without spoilers 😄 Yay!

[@FirebunCEO]

That scene in the portal with the projections is a really great showing of visual exposition. Only a few pre rendered clips and we know exactly what's happening in this other world that to both us and the Bros is completely alien.

[@andrewshufelt1948]

It's so interesting to see the M&L stretch and squish in 3D now.

[@pterobin]

This episode really is the Chuck E Cheese of BLG parts

[@Bozusan108]

YES! YESSSSSSSS! I can’t wait to play this myself, but for now I NEED to see you play it.

[@SuperPhenom42]

I am completely obsessed with the art style of this game, it is so good

[@Pixiewithpens]

i love the gradient on their hats ❤ and the wiggle of mario’s belly!!! so cute

[@osoamphicyon8876]

Full on fullmetal alchemist vibes from the opening portal scene lmao. Truly brothership

[@Rubberman202]

Two things I want to note here: 1.) Apparently the developers didn't see The Super Mario Bros. Movie when they conceived and animated that opening cutscene, and the fact that it parallels when Mario and Luigi entered the Mushroom Kingdom and got separated was pure coincidence. 2.) Mario seemingly having hallucinations and being drawn to where Luigi is reminds me of Yoshi's Island: Super Mario World 2, where according to the opening cutscene where you start a new game, Baby Mario apparently knows where to go because "The bond between the twins informs each of them where the other one is." I applaud the developers if this is a deliberate connection/reference. But yeah, I beat this game a few weeks ago, and I really do love it. It has it's problems, but I really hope people give it a chance because it has some of the best things the Mario & Luigi series has to offer! Also, if you haven't played any of the Mario & Luigi games besides Superstar Saga and a little bit Partners in Time, I'd love to see you guys play the other games on this channel. Maybe in chronological order? At the very least, you'll get the many references to the previo0us games this game makes! :P

[@blueglass24]

Waffled back and forth a bit on wether to watch this right away or come back after I'd played the game myself, but then I realized I'm not really in the right mental state to be able to start a new game like this and enjoy it on my own. So I'll be enjoying it vicariously through you instead! BLG never fails to make me smile. So far, this is as delightful as expected. And yeah, because I know it's not Charles Martinet, I can sort of tell the difference, but if it weren't for that knowledge, I'd never stop to think about it. They're doing a really good job. That tree even has a lightbulb at the top! It really IS the Sun! I've always loved the whole giant magical tree concept, so having one as the centerpiece for the game is really cool to see. I'm noticing that this game is being very good about having these tutorials geared towards player's first rpg. It's not surprising for a modern Nintendo game to be heavily tutorialized, of course, but it's just nice the way they're doing it, I feel, 4taking care to explain all the little things someone new to the genre wouldn't be able to intuitively get. Cool how even the basic attacks now involve both bros, that's sure to make battles more interesting. It's been a while, but at least in the original, stache was the luck stat, determining critical hit rate, as well as getting you a discount at stores. Shopkeepers love a good 'stache in these games! (also I'm glad they didn't bering back the level up bonus roulette, that thing was sure something I constantly felt the need to try and optimize) This was a great first part! Loving the game so far.

[@MutantBat]

From what I’ve played so far, the first hour or two are pretty slow going, but everything else is literally perfect and it looks like this game is huge!

[@iamabutterhunter5605]

YES ITS FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!! I probably won’t watch this series much until I get my hands on the game myself, but I’ll definitely come back to this series once I played a bit! I would explode with excitement if yall actually played the other Mario and Luigi games, those games are so good. I still regard Bowsers Inside Story as one of the best games Nintendo has ever made. A few extra notes: Many people have mentioned this already, but Stache affects the odds of getting a critical hit in battle. It may also have other benefits, it varies depending on the game. No idea if it adds anything extra in this game, but I am excited to see =D Boo Biscuits make you completely invincible, but you can’t actually attack or deal damage to your foes. They were first added in Dream Team and are meant to act as a way to learn enemy attacks and the proper counterattack methods Timing is everything in these games! Any attack you do that results into anything less than an Excellent! rating mean you hit something too early or too late. Those times that Mario attacked and just barreled straight into the foes mean you probably didn’t press B at the right time. It’ll just take practice! That’s all these games have ever been, learning how everything works and pulling off every button press at the perfect moment.

[@evan_sunprince]

My mouth is foaming over how expressive the art is

[@1nk_Ma1D]

This game is insanely fun! y'all are in for a massive treat the further you get in the game

[@gobbyguardian9495]

As much as I want to watch this let's play, I can't because I want to go into this game as blind as possible. Either way, I hope you have a blast.

[@holyhot-chocolate]

IM LATE, BUT AHHHHH, YES YES YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING PATIENTLY IN MY HIGHCHAIR TO EAT THIS SERIES UP

[@Arachnewhat]

I have been playing this for the past two days straight I cannot wait to see yall see more of this game, it’s amazing!

[@batsnake__113]

I love how the game looks it has that particular "indie game style" charm to it and the translation from pixel art is seamless (I love in particular how Mario and Luigi just jump to emote) Also pretty sure 'stache is crit change increase.

[@michaelhamilton3169]

[@erickchristensen746]

9:27 YESSSS I have been begging for this for a long time now ♥ Please do the remake too heh. And this game has the same feel to it too

[@danteallstar826]

I would love to see you two play the Mario and Luigi games. Superstar Saga and Bowser’s Inside Story have 3ds remakes with extra content so those are the better ways of experiencing those games. Partners in Time doesn’t have a remake just yet and Dream Team have its own story. All of them are really good and charming!

[@moodle6500]

I've just got the game myself, and I really love it, I'll need to stay ahead to watch, but I'm very excited for this series too Also, I recommend checking the adventure log for the main story every so often, it shows the recommended level for the current story event, so it's good to avoid under or over leveling

[@dollypartonfan]

This game looks promising. Thank you for the great video, as always.

[@AeosLoire]

I hope you guys enjoy! The reviews have been pretty back and forth. I plan on playing eventually but I think I'll be waiting for awhile so I'll be watching this instead.

[@smashkid9196]

[@jeepercreepers9]

I was really worried for this game since it wasn't being made by Alphadream, but so far it's felt very true to the original and fun to play. From what I've experienced so far I'd say it's third best in the series, ahead of Superstar Saga and behind Dream Team

[@MarioWolfBroa]

I love Mario and Luigi I can't wait to see the full playthrough of this game

[@Nicrocon]

The first Mario & Luigi game I played was Bowser's Inside Story. It's still the Mario & Luigi game I've gotten furthest in, though still never beat it. I've also played the Superstar Saga remake on the 3DS. This will be my 3rd Mario & Luigi game and just from this episode, I can tell I'm going to have so much fun with it.

[@NadirEatsRocks]

I don't remember what episode it was where you guys were talking about playing Octodad on the channel, but you guys totally should sometime! It has two-player mode for extra chaos!

[@alaster555]

FYI on the gear screen, pressing Y will remove the highlighted equipment so you can unequip gear. To that end you may want to do that now as (slight spoilers) ... ... their is an in game achievement system, one of the achievements is to win 300 battles without any gear equipped. I personally find that it is easier when the game doesn't expect you to have good/decent gear yet.

Bowser’s Inside Story (DS) was the first and only other M&L game I’ve played, and I didn’t even get far as a kid with hardly the ability to read or focus on reading. But years later (within the last year and a half) I finally beat it (after restarting to actually be able to get a grasp on the plot and such)! And just that game was enough for me to have all the M&L games on my gaming bucket list! I _love_ Mario & Luigi and have been *_so Very excited_* for Brothership!! I’ve been avoiding spoilers for a while, but am now willing to watch close up to where I am in the story, and am *_very_*_ excited_ to enjoy this play through! P.s. Brothership has been _GREAT _*_fun_* so far! Edit: p.p.s. I too love all the emotions! P.p.p.s. I also can’t really tell a difference between old and new Mario & Luigi voices, the new voice actor is doing great! They really do just simply sound like Mario & Luigi to mii!

Stache tended to be something of a luck stat in previous games

Hey the stache stat basically is the luck stat basically when your fighting an enemy you might get lucky and you will do more damage the more stache you have the more likely chance of that happening
