We Have To Talk About [REDACTED] From Mario & Luigi: Brothership

[@firebirdblazer2037]

What's even better is that Shun describes him as spreading misery only to go back in his egg when his powers used out and then repeat the cycle. It is HEAVILY implied that Reclusa has ended countless lives in other worlds.

[@thesnatcher3616]

He committed mass genocide multiple times. And he revels in it.

I don’t think it’s implied at all, I think it’s just flat out confirmed.

[@kinoleogeo7998]

Let’s not forget that Reclusa states that after he destroyed Concordia, he’s straight up got his eyes set on the Mushroom Kingdom. This psycho literally is a multidimensional monster. He rocks my socks. (Also, I totally gave him the voice of Flowey from Undertale and Kefka from FF)

[@thesnatcher3616]

@kinoleogeo7998 Yep. He might be the most evil nintendo villain PERIOD. More evil than Dimentio. More evil than Ganondorf. Granted I heard some xenoblade villains are crazy as well but I haven't played those and jrpgs tend to feature more morally Grey villains anyway.

[@trunguss]

I like that they somehow managed to make how sanitised many aspects of the Mario franchise became over the years and somehow turn it creepy. That's how it came across to me, at least.

[@孫其暐]

Okay, so... my comment will be, massive, so brace for yourself, because I had a lot to talk. In all honesty, I really like how Reclusa was handled, despite some saying they wished for more. The whole fake Mushroom Kingdom simulation segment sold his character to me. Sure, the way it was handled leaves something to be desired, but hear this. From the perspective of story narration, the main theme of the game, and established Mario Lore. First let's talk about Reclusa's characterization, which brings up Zokket, the main villain for the first half of the game, was an emotionless, robotic, no-nonsense, imitating, calculating schemer, who's very bad at memorizing people's names (but if we think about what idea he stood for, it make perfect sense for him to not remember people's names, because relationship is meaningless to him. Therefore, Zokket had no reason to remember names. The Extention Crop ultimately means nothing to him, just pawns to be manipulated.) And Zokket view Reclusa's revival as absolute, hold Reclusa's idea as gospel. Even as Zokket lay defeat, seconds away to die, he doesn't show any remorse, because his goal has been fulfilled, Reclusa is revived, and had no more use of him. Zokket had reached his perfect solitude. Concordia is perhaps days away from reaching it's end, but it doesn't matter if he'll live long enough to see it, as he's not need anymore. Reclusa, despite being the twist mastermind villain that showed at the later half of the game, was everything opposite to what we had seen from Zokket, he's childish, impatient, overconfident, and trollish. Reclusa was a literal man-child, he viewed the world as his playground, his toy to play in any cruel, rough way as he saw pleased. The world is his to throw away when he no longer finds fun toying with it. And when things don't go his way, he throw tantrums like an unruly child. As Mario & Luigi keep overcoming everything Reclusa throwing at them, he grews more irritate, more unhinged. And I'm happy they made him a contrast, it made him more interesting, more memorable. Imagine if Reclusa is just a bigger, badder, more monotone and evil Zokket 2.0? It'll be just boring and uninspiring story telling. Now, the story telling. The whole point of the fake Mushroom Kingdom was to show how Reclusa DOES NOT get the relationships Mario & Luigi had in their life, he does not get why people are being nice and happy to each other, all he knew was that the "perfect ideal world" for each individuals is one where they're spending eternity with people they knew in happiness. He doesn't get relationships. He does not get it. He doesn't get the process each person needs to go through in a relationship, the difference each needs to settle, tolerate, mend, and compromise on, he's so off the mark that he genuinely thinks stuck together in happiness is what a relationship is. The Bros and Snoulet had suspicions inside the simulation, but do not have solid evidence of the strange world around them. The mirrored ? Block do raise suspicion, but not enough to draw a conclusion. Having Toads & Peach around being all happy and nice doesn't get the message through either. It was when Bowser showed up that the Bros finally reacted. Bowser being nice to Mushroom Kingdom is something the bros know should be impossible. And the fake simulation made it hurts all more, because they know it'll never happen. Until the day Bowser finally gets Mushroom Kingdom his conquer way, he'll never stop, nor settled for any other alternative. (In a sense, a really depressing thought if you think about it. Mario, Luigi & Peach all knew deep down, Bowser had some good inside him, but choose not to be good.) Because they know Bowser is someone who do not be "Nice". Bowser is someone who would choose evil at any given turn, any given opportunity, and any given choice. Its not that Bowser can't be nice, it's that Bowser simply chooses to not be nice. And it was only when the bros see Bowser being nice to everyone that they're confirmed that things are off. They finally reacted. And the more irony part is that this fake simulation showed that Reclusa simply DO NOT understand the bros's relationship with Bowser. Perhaps he had read Mario & Luigi's history when simulating their minds, but he does not get any of it, nor understand it. He just see the information he need to creat a world to manipulate the two and hold them in place. Continuing, as the Bros tried to brake away from Reclusa's script, Reclusa took note of how the two react and immediately offer a fix, by having Bowser removed from their "perfect world", he genuinely think that this'll make the two stay. Further more, when the Bros wakes up from Weeping Reclusa's Glohm gas, Reclusa's first reaction was literally: "Really?" As in "Are you for real with me now?" or "Are we really doing this cliche trope now? "sense, dude was utterly baffled. He doesn't understand how some random two mustaches' brotherly bonds is capable of repelling his ultimate solitue energy. And it irritate him to no end. Finally, in the end, as he lay there, defeated, Reclusa still doesn't understand relationship. He died, still not being able to comprehend it. All he could think is that he's denied of his solitude, he's denied of his fun, things didn't go his way, he doesn't understand why he lose. And I think that's a perfectly fine way of use of his character, for a game with a theme that revolved around relationship, having the final villain to be someone who's the embodiment of relationship's antithesis. A solitude, a loneliness. Defeat, battered, still not understanding relationship as his life going off.

[@speedslider3913]

If you don't mind me asking, what issues did you have with the Mushroom Kingdom section? Personally, I thought it was done extremely well beyond Reclusa showing up too quickly and changing the tone with his wackiness.

[@孫其暐]

@@speedslider3913 I peronally don't have issue with it, but a few of people that I watched stream expressed that WHEN? can they finally start the final boss battle (the pacing of the final section really led something to be desired), so it led me to the impression that perhaps the Mushroom Kingdom section may come off as just a tiny bit of gameplay paddling. It scored excellent story narrating point for what it is, but maybe not gameplay point. (of course, one can just ignore any collectable items and go straight toward the fake Reclusa ? block to push forward the story) Plus, Reclusa showing up is mostly likely a meta 4th wall-breaking iteration with us players, since we watched the whole fake simulation unfold, we knew immediately that things ain't right, but from Mario & Luigi's perspective, they doesn't know that yet, they only had suspicion that things are not right. Because from a story narrating view, the Bros could be spending hours upon hours in the fake world before they finally realize the world around them is fake. So seeing Reclusa there is like a faster confirmation that this world they're experiencing is indeed a fake.

[@jordanmatthews4749]

@@孫其暐 bro, It's a Mario and Luigi game, you made this WAY too deep, now I just wasted 10 minutes of my life reading your comment. Thanks

[@christopherjones7196]

Fun fact: Reclusa refers to himself in Japanese dialect with the self-referring term of 'boku-chin', which is extremely informal, and childish, usually meant for characters who see all their actions as nothing more than a game. Know what other villain used that pronoun who left a massive impact on RPG history? Final Fantasy 6's own psychotic clown god of magic, Kefka Palazzo.

[@anthonyoliver418]

Honestly Reclusa is such a nice change of pace, I like the idea of Zokket having no motivation for anything, so when the true villain is revealed and they are an chaotic screen maniac who sees isolation in your own little perfect world as better than Zokket self made isolation, it is not only crazy but pretty cool, especially with how I knew they were gonnna plug things into the people of Concordia, but I didn’t expect them to do it like that.

[@starstruxtion]

Now that I've beaten Brothership, i have to say it, this game is comparable to Dream Team, Bowser's Inside Story, and Thousand Year Door. And Reclusa is a massive contribution to that. This freaking guy was entertaining and extremely threatening.

[@BeanBeanKingdom]

I got the distinct impression that Reclusa didn't actually want to be all alone and wanted friends, but didn't know how to process it himself and could only lash out. He really wants Mario and Luigi to break through the Soli-Tree's barrier and even contacts Shipshape Island when it's looking like they aren't making progress on that, then he stays in their personalized world to observe and play with them. The Weeping Core is a prickly chestnut he closes himself in a la hedgehog's dilemma. He may have considered them mere playthings, but he wanted SOMEONE to be with him.

[@idosarts_and_krafts]

That sure is a way to view him Because what is true loneliness in one's conscience than the yearning of (and subsequent failure for) connection

[@ErikTheCleric]

Makes you wonder if his motivation is something of a "If I can't have friends nobody can" situation

[@sythrus]

I feel like they are trying to set up a second trilogy, akin to the fawful trilogy. The way that the weeping core phase feels almost implies to me that he may have been something crafted, created so to speak. The fact that he is also robotic in nature confirms this to me even more. Basically what im saying is that i wouldnt be surprised if we end up encountering either one of his 'siblings' or even his creator in a future game. Also, the uni-tree planted in the mushroom kingdom could very easily become a major plot point in the future, potentially even allowing for the two worlds to be linked via connectar (we know they are absolutely willing to do this still, seeing as they kept so many references to previous games).

[@sythrus]

Also fun little thing could be that, while the name Uni-tree clearly exists as a pun of unity, it could also be short for 'Universe Tree' (as my autocorrect immediately reminded me). Basically they could have a Yggdrasil at home situation

[@pokestyn]

@@kaiserwave5977 Uh yes…… like a ton.

[@Miccat87]

Yeah, I agree with most of what was said here. He's honestly an abomination design-wise... and yet that works perfectly to make him even more memorable. When I first saw him, all I could think is "wtf is that?!" He's just so uncanny and alien and his design is just so chaotic compared to anything else I've seen. However, I actually really like that, because it further adds to his creepiness. His demeanor further adds to his creepiness. He has a somewhat playful personality, which can be seen during that whole fake Mushroom Kingdom part, as it seems like he's just trying to toy around with the bros more than anything. He even speaks in a playful way sometimes, using a sing-song speech pattern at certain points. This is another situation where certain aspects of him clashing with each other actually makes him more memorable. His somewhat playful demeanor is an aspect that's kind of light-hearted, and yet what's he actually trying to do is incredibly disturbing, as detailed in this video. Also, I definitely agree with the whole point about him tying very well into the theming of Brothership and even the series as a whole. He is the antithesis to connections and bonding, which was the whole point of Brothership. As such, he is the perfect foil to the bros and all the other closely connected characters throughout the game. The battle was pretty fun as well. All the different phases added a lot of variety to the fight and him possessing the tree makes the fight much more grandiose compared to other final bosses in the series. It kind of reminds me of the giant battles from the previous games, except he's the only one who's giant, making fighting him feel quite intimidating. Also, the way you repeatedly smack him at the end, dealing tremendous damage each time reminds me a lot of how the final boss in Bowser's Inside Story ended.

[@synR-E]

Even though I like Zokket so much more as a villian, Reclusa is still a REALLY good villain. Which makes me sad, since he has very little screen time and is probably the most underdeveloped Mario and Luigi villain. Which is sad, since I would've loved to learn more about him and why he hates connections so much. And one thing I like to think about is that the reason why Reclusa has a computer for a head is because it could possibly be a metaphor on how the internet and being online only makes people want to be more alone; which might actually be what being ensnared by those flowers actually means.

[@mallowfan22]

i think its better that he doesnt have a reason he just does it for it it makes him feel alot more sadistic.

[@synR-E]

@mallowfan22 True. And I love how manically evil he is, wanting to isolate people and make them die slow painful deaths. But at the same though, Reclusa kind of hints a more complicated side of him after you defeat him and he's moments away from death. He talks about how hard it is to connect with people, hjnting that he might have a reason for his ways. ... Or he's just a sadistic man-child who takes pride in watching people suffer without them even knowing. There's nothing wrong with avillain whose just evil to be evil, y'know?

[@amazydayzee3621]

Most underdeveloped? EPS would like a word

[@synR-E]

@amazydayzee3621 Ok maybe underdeveloped wasn't the best way to describe Reclusa. He's an AMAZING villain that gave us a tiny hint that there's more to his character than we thought, which made me sad since I would've liked to know more about. AS for Elder Princess Shroob...fair. She was kinda thrown in just for laughs. Though she was a REALLY good boss fight.

[@amazydayzee3621]

​@synR-E I really miss the multi-target final bosses. Reclusa was an outright punching bag. At least the Core form had the classic spinning arms attack, but I really wish we got one more super phase after his fakeout attempt, instead of just a finisher sequence. Also wish he appeared earlier in the story, was an entertaining villain to be sure and the illusion segment sold his threat hard. The fight took the air out of him tho. I liked it when M&L final bosses were a MASSIVE difficulty spike over the penultimate boss, unless you knew about meta stuff like Mush Badge. You were absolutely not meant to be able to beat Cackletta or EPS on your first try assuming you're not overleveled, and that's the way it should be.

[@scopicaplays]

Regarding the final boss music not sounding as grandoise as the others, maybe that's the point. Maybe the music is supposed to be separated from the others. Alone.

[@FluppietheRockruffFan]

Also Reclusa and the whole Soli-Tree thing, gave me more Dark Matter from Super Pokemon Mystery Dungeon vibes than Void Termina. Especially there motives and how the finale works! So that's an instant 10/10 for me

[@FluppietheRockruffFan]

You got the perfect world thing a bit wrong, the flowers trap you in your own world based on what you most desire, which actually makes things a bit sad for Mario and Luigi.

[@Reecee]

@@FluppietheRockruffFan The thing is, happiness is what Reclusa thinks people desire most since he barely ever interacts with people so he wouldn’t know their specific desires. He was trying to make the world as happy as possible which is why it started to become uncanny. I also mentioned that he kept adding things that he thought would make Mario and Luigi happy like platforming challenges or their enemies becoming friendly but then removing Bowser when he thought Mario and Luigi had a problem with it.

[@superstarultra]

@@Reecee >since he barely ever interacts with people so he wouldn’t know their specific desires. I personally viewed it as his flowers delivering him the data as soon as they latched on, allowing him to quickly produce the dreamscape needed (because technological flower hivemind/network). Reclusa's problem is that while he had all the pieces for paradise that would please the simple desires of Concordia's populace, Mario and Luigi were a more complicated matter. Yes, inwardly deep down, they yearn for a time where the Mushroom Kingdom is at peace with Bowser's kingdom... but they have been through so many adventures in the past that they know that'll NEVER happen.

[@Rubberman202]

...Could have sworn I left a massive comment on this video gushing about Reclusa, but I can't find it. That sucks, it was a massive comment, too, and I don't remember everything I said. I suppose I could give the TL;DR gist of what I said here: Reclusa might be my new favorite Mario villain, final battle is like Mario & Luigi vs. Sephiroth if Sephi was replaced by Kefka, the extreme contrast between him and Zokket makes him stand out even more than he already does, he represents a unique take on "loneliness" or rather "isolation" that I don't believe many people think about when it comes to the concept, I find it fascinating that despite saying he wants to be alone, he spends most of his time engaging with the other characters, even if it's just to gloat or torment them, his evil plan is the darkest and most twisted that we've seen out of a Mario villain, at least since the Shroobs, it's interesting how despite the technology theme with his design, his powers tend to come in the form of plants, i.e. the flowers and the Soli-Tree, his origin and backstory are vague in ways that intrigue me and want to speculate on them, his Japanese name is "Botchiāni", a combination of "botchi", which is Japanese slang for "loner", and possibly "ANI", artificial narrow intelligence, which would help explain his incredibly narrow-minded views on isolation and bonds... Yeah, I could go on about this guy for a while. We'll see if that lasts, but until then, he's definitely going to occupy my brain for a bit.

[@Timkorea0810]

I haven't reached the final section, but I got spoilered because it feels too similar to my mental issues. I don't interact with people very much, and I prefer being alone. I could sometimes act really immature when my emotions get hurt. I feel like reclusa is my evil half, or I am like zokket who got possessed and doesn't even remember people's names. Will I truly become a monster like him? Could I resist my evil half and become a better person? I am currently 19, and I am a big introvert. How could I learn to interact with others? How will I grow up? Can I defeat my inner reclusa?

[@Timkorea0810]

I feel like I am half luigi half reclusa. Sometimes I can make silly and ingenious thoughts to entertain others, but on the other side I barely interact with others and sometimes get eaten by my own negative thoughts. I even vented some discord servers with my own negative thoughts like a glohm infected person, but now I swore not to do it anymore. Sorry for venting in youtube instead, I think I need help. Someone cure my glohm (Ampberries won't likely work, as introvert is my personal trait)

[@speedslider3913]

First off, Ten (Purple Extension Corps member) says something to the effect of "it's fine to want to be alone sometimes, but forcing others to be is bad," and I think that's pretty relevant here as the reason what Zokket/Reclusa's doing is bad, beyond the fact you don't want to hurt people and they do, along with you lacking cable minions and Glohm. Also, as a 21-year old "introvert," don't tie yourself down with labels, especially since you've got a lot of lifetime to grow and change. You can prefer being alone AND find ways to enjoy socializing too; the key is to make bonds with like-minded folks and not become stagnant, as it's hard to appreciate and improve at socializing if you don't get more experience with it.

I really wasn't expecting him to be like a silly jester type villain. I was expecting to him to be like more dark and serious and Evil. So I was a bit surprised.

I think the final boss kind of dragged on for too long. First you gotta chase him, then you have fight his Flower minions while he throws stuff at you, then you have to scale the tree to get him, then break his shield before actually fighting him. Parts of the fight could of easily shorten or cut entirely.

[@interguy5846]

Personally, I like how involved the process of actually reaching him is. His whole thing is isolation, of course it’s gonna be a hassle just to get to him. No individual phase is super tanky, either, so it doesn’t drag out the battle TOO badly.

[@aedaniammx7559]

Honestly, I think Reclusa is so cool for Mario & Luigi because he’s a combination of what made previous villains so great. He’s not JUST entertaining to watch and listen to like Fawful, he’s also ultimately powerful and ruthless like the Dark Star, Shroobs, etc., and I think the best example of that is this is the first game that we see the final phase of the final boss before we fight it. The final boss isn’t Weeping Reclusa or the Weeping Core or like, Glohm Reclusa or anything like that. Once you break past everything, it’s JUST Reclusa, and it feels right, because the game made it feel like he didn’t NEED some kind of Bowser-y power-up

[@phictionofgrandeur2387]

I think glohm rhymes with home, because ohm rhymes with home, and glohm is a pun of gloom and ohm.

His actual evil plan and connection to the game's core themes are great, and while I know it isn't meant to be, I truly wish that he could have had more time to shine. The boss battle inside the Soli-Tree is a feast for the eyes as well, probably one of the prettiest and most striking aesthetics I've seen in the series, with the pure white of the Weeping Core probably being my favorite. I will say that the music didn't quite wow me, although it did have some good parts. Really I just wish there was a bit more variety to differentiate each phase instead of playing the same song with slightly different pacing and instrumentation, but I think I can live with it being as-is.
