38:03 ok, seeing Bowser help those two Goombas by throwing them into the portal to help them get back home is so cute, and really shows that Bowser truly cares for his minions! ❤️
19:23 This scene made me realize that we’ve never really had a M&L villain that genuinely felt repentant or even sympathetic. Even with this fakeout, I do wonder if we’ll get something like that in the next game.
Reclusa is basically Infinite from Sonic Forces, but better. His flower shenanigans are really similar to the phantom ruby. They both compare that as long you're under control of these, it's real for you.
The wonderful Mario and Luigi have returned. Many people thought the death of one of the great games they loved the most was lost until it was suddenly revived. Thanks Nintendo and thanks to whoever made this game. It's totally good, and yes, I'm more than happy that Bowser isn't the final boss.
Brothership has became my favorite game of all time! And this final area and final boss has become my favorite video game finale of all time! Also thank you for not spoiling this for others. :)
I do not care. This game's finale CLEARS all other finales in the series. Things truly got even darker than PiT's somehow and the Weeping Reclusa phase as well as the final drop are incredibly badass moments. I love this game to death, IT DID NOT DESERVE THE BASHING FROM SOME REVIEWERS
Finally! A new Mario game where Bowser is not the final boss. It had me worried because ever since Dream Team and Paper Jam, it looked like they were just going back to using him. I love Bowser but let’s take a break from him.
Dream team’s fight was great because bowser wasn’t used as a pawn for once and became a threat in his own way unlike the other Mario and Luigi games. Paper Jam should’ve had a different final boss
Thank you for not spoiling the final boss in the thumbnail. Also, I love how Bowser leaves not even a single Goomba behind, he was the LAST to go back home, respect for the king baby! And Luigi the heartbreaking chad, man I love this game.
Look at bowser’s face at the 5 minute mark. He’s already pretty peeved when he gets to the battlefield. But when he turns and sees his troops are hurt and their ships are going down, he gets LIVID. This means he’s either angry at Reclusa for damaging his ships, or angry because Reclusa is harming his subjects.
Bowser might be a grumpy bad guy, but he genuinelly cares about his troops, he even forgave his minions who betrayed him in "M&L Bowser's inside story" when Fawful took control of them.
I'd just beat the final boss. Words can't describe how happy I was to experience this for myself. Absolutely the best final boss in the M&L Series imo.
Yeah but the battle style is similar to Flower Sectonia: making flower minions be the target for the player while the final boss stay and watch and sometime attack from afar.
Well yeah but when Mario and Luigi goes inside the trees mouth, and then when inside the tree, Reclusa transforms into The Weeping Core, Weeping Core is similar to Void Terminas Core but with spikes, and when the core is destroyed, Reclusa comes out angry, and when Reclusa is defeated, the battle ends
Man, now I’m worried about the later bosses. I played Superstar Saga to get a feel for the series, but I never did a lot of damage to the bosses per attack. I think I had the most trouble with Cackletta, Trunkle, Wendy, and Fawful 2. When I learned that Cackletta’s soul has 1200 hp, and you start that fight with 1, I was like “Holy shit! There’s no way I’d ever win that!” But now I think all I need to do if I ever decide to try it is stock up on 1-ups and mushrooms. Hopefully the super kinds, but I forget which ones Little Fungitown has. And maybe their badges could be helpful, along with you know, adapting to the soul’s attacks.
I kinda want to point out that this is actually the first final boss in the Mario and Luigi series that isn’t bowser (not counting minion quest) Or bowser jrs journey
@@lookslikenik6931Lol. Well, I guess they need a reason not to be scared of him anymore. I get that. I also see it as karma and the Mario community’s revenge for what Sephiroth had done to Mario in Smash Ultimate.

the final boss it’s a level 45 monster? Shinymegabpwser, Cacketta soul and dark star fawful where been level 40 bosses. That means Brothership is gonna be a longer adventure than usual.
2:07 Fun fact i actually 2 shot this phase of the fight, and my jaw dropped it was very funny to see how pathetically weak Reclusa is when you overleveled the him by 5 to 3 levels. Conductor connector, you are so broken @Nintendo Unity
As someone who's been in the same shoes, I understand Reclusa very well. I still think that Nintendo idealizes the "friendship/bonds are power" idea a bit too fantastical, to a point where it's not realistic at all.
You can still explore it i think, they've never really done anything like that as far as i believe, the most that will change is that i believe, (according to the wiki) some side quests will be unavailable.
It doesn't have a post-game if that's what you're wondering. If you load your save after the ending, it will take you back to just before the final boss (or wherever your last save was)
No this is the first time Until Brothership, we always fought a form of Bowser at the very last part of the game, whether you call it final boss or not
22:08 Connie is wrong! In this world there’s space for everyone (The point is I think reclusa is like a computer(or it is a computer)so if reclusa is a “computer” they could reprogram reclusa)...../edit:it is a computer so why they don’t reprogram Reclusa?! Extra edit: WHY NINTENDO WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!

Reclusa is like a mix of Dimentio, Bill Cipher and Mr. Puzzles

30:09 Kinda sad yet very wholesome
The Final battle was Insane!!!
That evil tree is like the Master Crown from Kirby Return to Dreamland Magolor Epilogue
