Brothership: nods and references to previous M&L games ❤️💚

While I watched the new Brothership trailer yesterday, I noticed a few elements from the previous M&L games that were included in the new one, and since I love them dearly, you best believe that I SCREAMED with every new reference that I noticed 🤩

So I decided to put them together in this post, though I'm probably missing some of them since it's been a LONG time since I last played them, so you're all more than welcome to add the ones you noticed if you don't see them in this post.

Let's start with Superstar Saga! In this game, there are a few times when Luigi must get inside a barrel in order to progress with the story, like for instance, in Chucklehuck Woods or Woohoo Hooniversity.

And then in Brothership!!!!!

Luigi does it AGAIN OMG the way I YELLED 🤩🤩👏👏

Then we move on to Partners in Time and find the special move that turns the brothers into a ball:

And in Brothership... it's back!!!!!

Luigi crying while he hugs Mario, this one is pretty obvious: it made me think immediately of Bowser's Inside Story:

He's so cute I wanna hug him too 🥺💚

Moving on to Dream Team, I really don't know why, but these Idle guys who made Luigi fall asleep remind me A LOT of these four guys you have to fight in Dreamy Wakeport (Heavy Zest, Sorrow Fist, Thunder Sass and Beef Cloud) in order to wake up Big Massif:

This might be just me, but I do believe they took some inspiration when creating them. And btw, the city where we see Luigi having a drink and relaxing and that we've seen in previous trailers? It reminds me SO MUCH of Wakeport:

Am I the only one who sees the similarities? 😅

And finally, last but not least...

THE FREAKING BOMB DERBY FROM DREAM TEAM IS BACK 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I swear, the SQUEAL I let out when I saw this in the new Brothership trailer must have been heard on the other side of the world. This was my freaking FAVORITE Bros. Attack from Dream Team, I was SO GOOD when using it (not without a few times of the bombs exploding in poor Luigi's face before I got the hang of it 😂).

Seriously, oh my God, I freaking LOVE this attack. I'm over the damn moon to know that I'll get the chance to play it again in Brothership 🥲 This game hasn't come out yet and it's already made me SO HAPPY. Thank you SO MUCH for this, Nintendo. This game is a freaking dream come true 😭❤️💚

Before I go, I didn't double-check the enemies, but I know there are a few that also come from these previous games! Feel free to add them if you'd like, as well as anything else I might have missed 🥰

And also... SPOILER under the cut!!

This one, I saw it in this video which features TONS of footage from the game, and decided to add it down here just in case because it's a very touching thing and I'd totally understand some people wanting to be surprised when playing 🥹

So if you check it, I warned you! And if you don't, hope you enjoyed this post and let's share the hype for this game coming in less than a month!!! 🤩🤩👏👏

So the spoiler is...

When one of the bros faints, the other does the EXACT same thing as in Superstar Saga 🥹🥹🥹

I'm so freaking MOVED this is so damn TENDER and I'm beyond ELATED that they brought it back in Brothership 😭😭😭 The brothers ever!!!! ❤️💚

EDIT: My dear friend @megamagimugi wisely pointed out that they also do this in the other games, only that differently: carrying each other in their backs or in the case of Partners in Time, the babies carried away their fallen adult selves. Can't remember a thing about Paper Jam though.

WELCOME TO THE FAWFUL DEN! I'm madly in love with this man and you will NEVER hear the end of it! (And if you're here, you already know that!)

Because Fawful doesn't have official merch outside of a few promotional items from around the release of Bowser's Inside Story, 99% of the stuff you see here are custom made & one of a kind items I've accumulated over the last 4 years... much of it from commissioning my friends!

partners in time is a game from the mario and luigi series ^_^^

extra stuff + me rambling under the cut

ok. i know the stargate scenes are pretty famous for the whole "youre multifaceted like a diamond" bit and that is so so awesome and true for luigi. however. i did not know about the part where it puts him on Blast for being a coward in front of his baby self god and everyone. like a celestial supposedly Soul Reading Gate singled him out and told eveyone either he redeems his character or has to be left behind. the babies were granted free entry and of course mario gets to pass, but can u imagine. can you even imagine being luigi realizing hes made it so he grows up and isnt deemed worthy or brave enough when his past self is an innocent clean slate that had all the potential in the world. am i reading too much into this when it had a neat resolution? maybe. i could also be the mouthpiece of god we dont even know

some baby luigis for your troubles thanks for reading this if you did. thanks anyway for anything really Love you

I don't want to give context to this

Enjoy

Could you perhaps

Draw luigi finding a Shroob?

Listen the first reference image I see is a shroob holding a laser gun, I couldn't not sketch that.

the way mario says “babies!” in partners in time never fails to make me want to cry

Bowser is likely evil due to the circumstances of his upbringing. The evil and permissive Kamek raised him with little discipline, resulting in his domineering outlook, megalomania and poor self-regulation.

Nutsoglobin also implies he helped encourage a young Bowser to do evil.
