Useless Mario & Luigi Facts! (Spoiler-friendly) - M&L: Brothership

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

Awesome!

[@BobKirbyman-kz1fo]

You forgot the reef with the wiggler statue. Every Mario and Luigi game has a wiggler boss battle, except brothership.

[@Skillaway]

10:35 Peasley's reef saying he's slow in racing is, at least as I interpreted it, a reference to the running gag of how the Mario Bros. always get to places before him!

[@JJSSBU]

Also to the part where he races you to get all bean pieces and he gets none

[@kinokiita]

apparently he also has really slow speed stats in bowser's minions

[@IDKisReal2401]

That and the Zeekeeper one definitely seems to reference his role in general

[@GBA-049]

And (at least in my perspective) utterly useless as a partner more times than not. Since all that he has going for him is his flaunty self-centered personality portrayed as a flying noble super hero who ends up in trouble a lot. Don't get me wrong I love the guy, but... dude. Polish something other than your hair for once lol

[@TheRagingBrownie]

you beat me to it lol

[@cattygaming2769]

Here's a useless fact for you. Snoutlet is so far the only character to when needed to say something, they come out of Luigi and not Mario. Previous games had Stuffwell, Starlow and Prince Dreambert only come out of Mario, but in this game, Snoutlet comes out of Luigi. Which makes sense since Luigi was the first brother to get onto ShipShape Island and meet Connie and Snoutlet.

[@cattygaming2769]

How did I know this, well I was looking back at some old gameplays of previous entries and noticed how Stuffwell, Starlow, and Prince Dreambert only ever come out of Mario while Snoutlet is the only one who comes out of Luigi

[@rainpooper7088]

Birdley from BIS also mentions that Mario's pants are cozy.

[@pizus4823]

3:04 Just a theory, but maybe Luigi just happened to know about the real life counterparts of these creatures (that appear in Brothership), and they just happened to appear in his dreams? It'd explain why their mechanics are entirely different too, as dreams can very easily modify how you imagine something

[@sylvicx3437]

That makes sense to me honestly, and is a very cool idea

[@Nitosa]

Not everything in the dream world is something luigi thought of, it's likely the creators who made those pillows and dream worlds knew of the other world in some way.

[@jsoaihekctr]

perhaps luigi has been in concordia before we all came their in brothership

[@davidpacifico1019]

Or maybe they are creatures that are exclusively in Concordia, but since concordians also dream, maybe a few of them who were dreamed into existence by a concordian crossed over into the dream worlds in dream team (as dreams can be connected)

[@asterisk4540]

I mean, Concordia's just an entirely different dimension that Mario and Luigi were summoned to. It can very easily just be that those enemies are imaginary in their world and real in Concordia.

[@thundergreen1133]

8:58 The Luigi Logic cutscene has different animations, so the devs actually adapted a couple victory animations of Luigi from past games for the poses he makes. Edit: Specifically, the pose he makes before dancing in the level up screen of Bowser's Inside Story and the pose he makes when winning a battle in Dream Team.

[@RotaAbyssian]

10:30 I got you on the Prince Peasley breakdown. "Glorious,Gleaming, and Glamorous Dude" A reference to how when he flips his hair, he flashes the screen white. Also, how people of the Bean Bean Kingdom see him as a celebrated hero "Bestrides the world like a Colossus." With his flying bean, he is able to get to wherever he needs to be for the story, and it suits his larger than life celebrity. "But when racing, he's in for awakening rude" He's in for a rude awakening, flipped so that it is a rhyming couplet. The race is a reference to the competition to collect the bean star pieces. "He's actu'lly as slow as molossus." A continuation of the bean star race, where in actuality, Prince Peasley never got a single star piece. He was so slow, in fact, that he had to be saved from an enemy DURING their competition.

[@supermaro2349]

A few more fun animations detail, The bros hammer attacks actually have a unique detail. Mario’s attack is the traditional swing down that has been seen in every game. Luigi’s meanwhile is the hammer chop from Dream Teams Giant Battles. Additional, Luigi appears to do the hammer uppercut from Dream Teams giant battles as well when he does the bros hammer attack for Mario. Another fun reference is in the Luigi logic animations, two of his poses at the end reference previous games. Both reference his level up poses, one references Bowsers Inside Story and the other references dream team.

[@Moon-nk3co]

Starlow’s little story reference to Bowser’s inside Story was one of my favorite acknowledgements of the story. Especially with how we never got much interactions after it

[@TemporalZack]

it's so cute.

[@ulises2986]

Having replayed Superstar Saga on NSO, The first line of Peasley’s reef poem throwing in “gleaming” as an adjective feels like a reference to how he would shine so bright the screen would white out. That and the second half of the poem references how Mario & Luigi would beat him to certain story beats.

[@yaboipktendo]

So Fun Fact about the Jump Helmet and Yoo Who Cannon Both were planned for Dream Team (Jump Helmet has more complete sprites) and from the Cut Content the Helmet works exactly as it looks in the sprites Edit: Some of the Luigi-Logic end animations reference past games

[@greenbirdgaming8691]

10:40 The Zeekeeper in Dream Team is very lazy, which is referenced in the poem with, "But first, maybe take a quick snooze?"

[@mysterygaresh7300]

That could also be the fact that you initially meet him in the Dream World.

[@Twig_the_Blue_Pikmin]

0:54: Actually the Spikelys DO that exact same move shown from Dream Team in Brothership! They just have more different attacks in Brothership

[@genemelendez368]

I guess to be fair, Shy Guys and Birdo originally came from the dream world into the real world. It’s not that weird that Iceads and Magmads could do the same

[@rainpooper7088]

@genemelendez368 Shy Guys chronologically first appeared in Yoshi's Island when the Mario Bros were still babies, so the Shy Guys from SMB2 were probably just plain old Dreamy variants.

[@vgsweet2068]

Maybe they were only dream enemies because they originated from Super Mario Bros. 2

[@f145hr3831jr]

@@rainpooper7088 That's only in retrospect since SMB2 was their first appearence in order of game releases, and it wasn't even a Mario game to begin with: it was a completely original Nintendo IP (Yume Koujou: Doki Doki Panic) that failed commercially in Japan and was rebranded as a Mario game by Nintendo of America by replacing the main characters with Mario and pals, and it sold like hotcakes in the West. Also, Snifits, Bob-ombs, Pokeys and Ninjis are from this game as well.

[@inkiiblast225]

13:12 Also, for navigating the overworld as Bowser, the sliding punch is an ability Bowser gets and is required to progress to some areas.

[@teaoftraffic]

5:05 Jump Helmet in BS likely takes inspiration from its planned appearance in Dream Team. There’s unused sprites (no coding sadly) of it in the files, where it would’ve acted the same, just with Luigi wearing the helmet as in BIS.

[@koreyworey6345]

Thank you so much for making this spoiler friendly! :)

[@Lucid_69]

Luigi's Poses while getting Luigi Logic are also callbacks to poses Luigi had in previous games

[@DarkPingas]

So can someone finally explain all the mysmashcorner stuff thats been spammed to death here at this point.

[@LynxTheUnrelated]

I don't have the answer, but considering there's not much info about it elsewhere online I feel like it has to be some kind of inside joke among his discord server, right? PJiggles isn't popular enough to manifest rumors out of nowhere, so their claims of rumors circulating seem false. Thought they don't even sound relatively similar, so I don't get what the joke part is... is there even one?

[@DerciEXE]

My smash corner was a smash KZbinr that made mostly tutorials throughout the lifespan of Smash for Wii U/3DS. He made some videos for Smash Ultimate but then in 2019 he vanished. I’ve known about his channel since 2014 so it’s really weird that his names being brought up randomly.

[@Otaku03494]

Commenting so that I may get an answer too.

[@LynxTheUnrelated]

@@DerciEXE Same here! I used to watch him when I was younger too! These comments seemingly trying to connect them or something(?), are so confusing!

[@CardsOfTAG]

5:32 If the attack doesn't result in an Excellent, the capsule instead explodes like the rest of the bombs do. 6:05 After the attack ends, the bros land and strike a pose-- the same ones they did in Dream Team after landing a Jump attack on an enemy.

[@fantasyshroom9528]

Here's some more attack animation references. The combo hammer attacks for Mario and Luigi are a reference to the finisher of Super Knockback Bros and most of Super Cyclone Bros respectively. The finisher of Yoo Woo Cannon can also be a reference to the Toad Trail attack.

[@upamanyubrahma3315]

3:15 Fan theory. Concordia is someone's dream that also incorporated parts of Luigi's dreams like in Dream Team's Big Massif's dream. Whose dream? Dunno. Haven't finished it or played it for that matter. As for how bowser and peach in the dream, anyone can enter the dream world so when the portal thing appeared at the beginning of the game it must've caught the attention of them and they went in as well. Why isn't it Dreamy Luigi? Because real Luigi went in as well. In any case, great vid Pjigs. 👍

[@susiehaltmann3342]

14:20 Also it’s because canonically spicy chicken is bowser’s favorite food. One of the questions in Big Bad Bowser Brain Train is “Of Fawful's dishes, what was Bowser's favorite?” To which Bowser answers the spicy chicken. And another question is why he likes it and to which he says the delicacy and body. So Starlow really meant it when she said “your favorite” as Bowser directly states that the spicy chicken from Fawful was his favorite out of all his dishes.

[@GodlyCito]

To think that this game hasn’t gotten a game in 9 years and yet the old games STILL look good goes to show how Nintendo actually appreciate their creations.

[@variumi]

13:15 the sliding punch is an overworld ability for bowser as well, so it’s probably representing that instead

[@THEGASTLYAPPEARSInsertspookymu]

No, there is another reference to Paper Jam. If you notice, the mysterious swirled reef has a very similar appearance to the game as a whole (Edit: Compared to the rest of the series, I should clarify)

[@tysonvienneau1830]

I thought that was color splash

[@galvsparks6295]

NO WAY, STICKER STAR REF

[@coopinatormusic6214]

I thought you were talking about the Drill Shell Bros. Attack. Come one, man, it's a fine game.

[@THEGASTLYAPPEARSInsertspookymu]

@@coopinatormusic6214 Yeah, even I have to admit it was average, mostly I was jumping on the meme train

[@volvoman5262]

Bruh, being the worst game dosn't make it bad

[@tysoniacrypoid575]

A little fact about the Luigi Logic animations is that they all reference different poses Luigi does The ones I remember is that some of them reference his level up animations, mainly from BiS and DT/PJ

[@inkiiblast225]

12:11 They don't want to be reminded of Paper Jam XD

[@koreyworey6345]

I think the reason why the Icead and Magmad are in the real world now is because they were always real. Luigi just saw them before and then started having dreams about them.

[@somedew9317]

4:44 this attack might actually be a reference to superstar saga since there an enemy called the troopea does this same attack which is really cool

[@pokestyn]

Prince peasleys poem mention being slow in a race referencing the race to get the beanstar pieces he and the bros had where he lost

[@strangebluecreature]

There’s a reference to the Fire Flower attack in the pizza-making segment on Jellyfish Island, and I believe Mario’s battle animation from Dream Team is used in the Great Conductor boss fight.

[@AlexClipsSFM]

During the battle with the conductor, where you need to understand which brother is real, fake Mario will use an idle animation from old games

[@celestialowl8865]

3:20 you dream about things you can find in the real world wll the time lol

[@idc2932]

Spoilers The ending animations for Min-Max Vortex are also a homage to Dream Team when Mario or Luigi defeat an enemy. Love that move. Also, during the Great Conductor battle, some of the fake Mario and Luigi movements are taken from previous games I'm pretty sure. I haven't checked though, so if anyone proves/disproves this in the replies then I'll update it.

[@MudakTheMultiplier]

Artist: I'm gonna reference older art from the series to save money since we dont need to do as much design work. Players: yooo! Look at all of the references they love this series! (No shade of course, I love learning about origins for stuff like this)

[@SuperHoundX]

What's up with all the mysmashcorner comments

[@bulletcola7890]

Bowser winds up his punch by pulling it far back, which is exactly how he does in his basic punch animation, so I do think its a nod.

[@The-ms2ub]

0:38 the color scheme and eye design are also reminiscent of Francis however that’s less likely what they were going for 7:45 That’s not entirely true, as Mario does also use barrel Luigi as a platform occasionally in said stealth sections

[@Dooty-Doot]

Not really a reference, but one trend that is continued for the entire series, and that is still true in BS, is that the bros are next to each other on the box art. Mario on the left, Luigi on the right. (Except in Superstar Saga, but I mean you can swap the bros order anytime there)

[@loudcanvas]

A small reference I really liked was the animation at the end of the Max-Mix Vortex attack When they're done and fall to the ground, Mario straightens his cap and Luigi is celebrating on one leg and with his fist in the air. Those are the same animations that were in Dream Team and Paper Jam after doing a normal jump attack.

[@dhunHERO]

I would also like to add that the red shell now hits airborne enemies whereas the green shell only hits ground enemies. Great video!!

[@sacripan4425]

A small note about Jump Helmet: It was originally planned to return in Dream Team and be used in 3D, it got scrapped but Brothership took and finished that concept

[@LisaVGG]

I like that the devs put a bunch of references to past games, perfect for a game that’s part of a series once thought forgotten

[@MikeyDLuffy]

Love this. Still pretty early into the game so can't wait to come back to the later half haha

[@dggaming2274]

While Mario & Luigi Brothership isn’t perfect, it is still a great and absolutely charming game. I am so happy the company that worked on this game alongside Nintendo (unless Nintendo alone worked on this game) managed to make such a awesome game with really charming characters and awesome references to this great series! :))

[@Slimeade_]

8:54 After using the Max-Mix Vortex bros attack, Luigi would strike a victory pose reminiscent of when he would get an Excellent jump attack in Dream Team and Paper Jam!

[@CardsOfTAG]

Mario does it too!

[@mochie9360]

I think the Zeekeeper and Prince Peasley reference points in the stories they ware in like the bean bean star awakening from burdo’s rude sounding voice or the battle agenst phantasma

[@maginator0]

the off-course reef could also be considered a Paper Jam bros move as the Rocket Blast, the rockets aren't exactly the same model, but it is something to note

[@LowTierWings]

Dude mysmashcorner annoys me because he never even explained why he left.

[@blackdot105]

Can't a man live his life?

[@Fennix404]

8:54 A ton of animations were ripped from dream team. including the ones mentioned, mario and luigi's talking animations are referenced from that game, notably with luigi moving his arms up and down. They also have the same fainting animation, with mario falling on his face, and luigi falling on his back, even flipping his leg up dramatically. Their solo jump animations are also based on the ones from paper jam, where they do a flip with their arms out while facing the camera. Other random stuff I noticed; when mario and luigi first meet up on shipshape at the start of the game, and wash up on the starting island later, luigi crying in marios arms reminded me of when the same happened at the start of bowsers inside story. Also im pretty sure when dorrie arrives to shipshape for the first time, a character mentions how they dont want to become his lunch, which may be a reference to the sign near dorrie in mario 64

[@OngoingTalent13]

12:50 The Easy-Peasy Counter Plug allows the Bros to Flutter Jump to dodge attacks similar to how Paper Mario dodged attacks in Paper Jam.

[@chicknnunget638]

6:30 one thing about this attack that wasn't mentioned was the pose the bros strike after getting an EXCELLENT. The two will take on the pose that they do when you preformed an EXCELLENT jump in Dream Team.

[@Nitosa]

Almost all luigi logic poses are references from previous games.

[@octoreiss8757]

A Easter Egg you forgot is that during Jellyfish Island’s Jellyfish Pizza Cooking Mini Game, the Final Large Pizza has the bros attack like they’re using a Fire Flower Bros Move

[@iancastro1327]

The momment I saw Bowser call Starlow "Chippi" I popped off to say "Absolute Cinema 🙌"

[@pkbeamgamma9262]

13:03 i think bowser's sliding punch is a reference to his overworld sliding punch ability in bowser's inside story, unlocked after the giant carrot minigame

[@ismaeelbaig1762]

15:10 I'm pretty sure that is is how Shun is carried in the cutscene right after you reach wayaway Island for the first time

[@Blanknightsky]

The ominous reef is actually specifically a reference to a boss in one of the super mario galaxy games, basically fighting a giant skeletal shark underwater in Bone fin Galaxy, the boss is called kingfin

[@MarioKartGamerDude]

“He was also Luigi’s boyfriend!” Haha yeah pretty much!

[@Redpoppy80]

11:07 this is a Mario RPG/Mario Seven Stars reference where Mario can stand on certain things and get yelled at to make him get off of what he was standing on. The most famous one is standing on Chef Torte's cake. 2:29 The Magmad's and Icemad's are in the real world this time because this is not the Mario Luigi world. Concordia is a different world not connected to the Mushroom Kingdom.

[@SportsGaming-ll3ru]

I love gushing and needing out about this game 😊 also with the Magmad and Icead, reminded, this is an alternate world they’re working in

[@rainbowstar6488]

9:00 Another animation reference is after you preform Mix-Up Vortex, Mario & Luigi do a little cheery animation. That animation originates from Dream Team & Paper Jam, where they do it after you get an excellent on the standard jumping attack from those two games. I like to think since Luiginary Cyclone & Mix-Up Vortex are similar, it's just straight up a huge Dream Team reference.

[@Nitosa]

Or the obvious reference of shyguy's flag attack being from mario party

[@sacripan4425]

Another animation reference is how Bowser laugh, he put his hand on his pelvis, just like the previous game

[@pixelatedtoad]

I've got a useless fact (though needs testing to make sure): For the coin collector challenge, all coins collected in combat count EXCEPT MINI-BOSSES In my minimum run attempt that I did both Gorumbla and Ten didn't provide any coins for the goal though all basic enemies and Gobblick gave coins correctly.

[@randomshadow888]

Considering Reclusa: How can a living being, that hatches from an egg, have a screen as a face? And who layed that egg?

[@bluecario1239]

As an extra little fact about the red shell is that for the final kick mario does, it's most likely inspired by the "fire tornado" move in Inazuma Eleven, the movement and the camera angles are almost identical

[@wateryflamish_diarrea5611]

Guys pjiggles is not mysmashcorner

[@Trollfox64]

I honestly wonder why people are talking about him in the comments, I will admit that I miss the guy, I don't know what happened or why he left, but he either had stuff in his life to focus on while KZbin as a career wasn't working out. Really anyone's guess.

[@thatpersonyoudontknow4509]

11:06 in Paper Mario 64 if you stand on a table at the inn in Koopa Village, the Toad will scold you and tell you to get down. Whether it's a reference or wild coincidence is up to interpretation.

[@rontheauraknight9606]

When Luigi points at his level up, I'm pretty sure that is an animation reference in Bowser Inside Story

[@sanic2794]

0:55 ironically enough the Spikelys DO have that attack, or at least the Big Spikelys do

[@Emi_Tempi]

A reference I noticed quite fast was the "smash the nuts" on the flower island very early on. It was a reference to one of the minigames you had to do in Bowsers Inside Story to boost his arm muscles (the one where he has to pull out the carrot or push off the iron ball) The minigame on the jungle island could be a reference to the same minigame but the other version of it where you bounce it continuesly back the the arm. Or it is just a reference to those coin-boxes in past games where you can earn a lot of coins if you "keep hitting the block" while it continuesly gets faster and faster (havent found any, found the "keep the bros order in mind" blocks) It might not have been a reference and just a funny coincidence

[@panterelmateracker2887]

Some of the attacks from bowser's minions (the faction, not the subgame) are ported directly from how they were in paper jam, since you only fought them in that game An interesting one is the boo spinning attack, since you weren't able to fight regular boos in that game, just the paper variant. Perhaps they learned that attack from them? Probs not but it's fun to think about

[@Paper_Jam200]

The Bros and Prince Peasley have a race to see who can get the macguffin of the game first, and the Bros win, which is why his poem references racing, and being slow as shit.

Watched a fair bit through but there is another reference to another game not specifically in the Mario and Luigi series but another game entirely from the mainline series, when you fight the big bird boss, listen carefully when Luigi has the chance to use his logic attack against it, the sound effect of the twisting pipes is actually the Mario Sunshine speech sfx.

The jump helmet DID originate from bowser inside story but it works like it would if it was added to dream team. Since in dream team's files, you can see some sprites of the jumping helmet but in 3d.

[@luxrayblast]
