Harness the Power of Dreamy Luigi in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. Released on 12th July

LONDON, June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

              Make a date with the famous brothers in a new adventure - from the

           mysterious Pi'illo Island to the deepest recesses of Luigi's dreams!

    With great success in countless quests down the years, it's as if the powerful pairing
of Mario and Luigi can defeat enemies in their sleep. In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros.,
released on 12th July for the Nintendo 3DS
[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Nintendo-3DS/Nintendo-3DS-94560.html ] family of consoles, the
brothers put such a theory to the test in a new adventure set on both an island near the
realm of the Mushroom Kingdom, and within the depths of Luigi's own dreams!

    In this fourth instalment of the popular RPG series Mario & Luigi, the story opens
with Princess Peach and her staff, plus brothers Mario and Luigi in tow, being invited for
a sightseeing trip to the mysterious Pi'illo Island by its equally mysterious proprietor,
Dr Snoozemore. But after an initially hospitable welcoming to the island - albeit with Dr
Snoozemore noticeably absent - things take a turn for the worse when Princess Peach is
kidnapped and pulled into a Dream World by a new enemy in the series, the ghostly bat king
Antasma.

    To chase down this new foe and rescue Princess Peach, Mario must enter this Dream
World through the dreams of a sleeping Luigi, whose brain is revealed to be on a
wavelength with the population of Pi'illo Island, the Pi'illo Folk. Alternating between
Luigi's Dream World and the real world, Mario and Luigi must solve puzzles, battle
enemies, and even interact with creations of Luigi's own imagination in order to succeed!

    The relationship between the real world and Dream World plays a critical role within
the game. While roaming the Pi'illo Island environment in the real world, Mario and Luigi
need to combine equally to use trademark Bros. Moves, while in the Dream World, it is the
power of Dreamy Luigi that is all-important in supporting Mario. For example, Luiginary
Works are magical ways in which the player can interact with the Dream World environment
through Luigi's sleeping form. Whether it is tweaking Luigi's moustache or scratching his
nose on the bottom screen of the console, this interaction provokes a reaction in the
Dream World, affecting the environment to the benefit of Mario.

    In the Dream World battle sequences, the power of Dreamy Luigi once again comes to the
fore when a horde of Luigis power up Mario to create formidable Luiginary Attacks, moves
which greatly differ from the trademark Bros. Attacks in the real world, and which make
use of the capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL
[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/games/oms/3DS_XL/3DS_XL_en_GB ] consoles in original ways. As an
example, one Luiginary Attack comprises Mario riding on top of a ball of Luigis, with the
player using the motion controls of the console to navigate the ball's course to crush the
enemies that lie ahead. Whether attacking, counterattacking or dodging in battle, the 3D
capabilities of the console are also critical for players to judge perfectly timed
actions.

    When a battle is won, the levelling-up mechanic in-game follows a classic RPG formula,
with experience points earned, improving common attributes such as health points and
power, plus the addition of classic franchise attributes such as Bro Points - needed to
perform special attacks - and STACHE - influencing the chance of Mario or Luigi scoring a
critical hit in battle - remaining in this latest instalment in the Mario & Luigi series.
Also following previous games in the series is a badge reward system, whereby both
brothers can find or buy badges in-game that can be combined to earn the brothers useful
rewards after certain actions - such as performing 'excellent' attacks - are carried out
in battle. For those new to the series meanwhile, hint messages, an easy mode and a slow
attack mode will help players get to grips with the battle sequences.

    Uncover the power of Dreamy Luigi in the latest adventure in the Mario & Luigi series
when Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. comes to the Nintendo 3DS family of consoles on 12th
July. More details will be revealed about the Mario game
