The Mario & Luigi RPG series originally came to an end with the Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey remake on the 3DS. While there hasn't been a shortage of Mario RPGs (especially recently) it wasn't until six years later that Brothership landed on the Switch.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership doesn't contain many boss fights, but every once in a while the game will throw a tough obstacle in the player's path.

Connie is one of the main supporting characters in Mario and Luigi: Brothership and is in charge of tending to the Uni-tree.
