About

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team is an action RPG developed by AlphaDream and released in 2013 for the Nintendo 3DS. The game follows Mario and Luigi across two distinct settings: the resort destination of Pi'illo Island in the waking world, and the surreal, unpredictable landscapes found within Luigi's dreams. The central objective involves rescuing Princess Peach and assisting Prince Dreambert in freeing his people, the Pi'illo folk, who have been petrified under a curse cast by the bat-king Antasma. Gameplay blends platforming and puzzle-solving with turn-based RPG combat, and the dual-world structure allows the dream sequences to introduce mechanics and environments shaped by Luigi's imagination. The title features a large cast of comedic characters and represents a numbered entry in the long-running Mario & Luigi series, maintaining the franchise's emphasis on timed action inputs and cooperative brother-based combat.

Storyline

One day in the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi, Toadsworth, and some Toads are invited to Pi'illo Island, which is said to contain a special power that makes people fall asleep. During the flight, a dark pillow falls onto a blimp and transforms into a dark figure who Mario defeats. After defeating him, the blimp malfunctions and crashes into the Pi'illo Blimport. However, it is revealed that it was all Luigi's dream. The group proceeds to Pi'illo Castle, where they meet Starlow. Mario and Luigi go to a room where Peach and Toadsworth accidentally set off a test platform sending them to ancient Pi'illo ruins. Mario & Luigi follow and eventually find Peach and Toadsworth, as well as a Pi'illo, which later turns out to be Prince Dreambert. They find a collection room where Luigi takes a nap on the pillow. After everyone gathers in the collection room, a Dream Portal opens a portal to the Dream World. The dark figure from Luigi's dream pulls Princess Peach into the Dream World. After Mario chases after Peach into Dreamy Pi'illo Castle, with the help of a dreamy version of Broque Monsieur, he comes across Dreamy Luigi, Luigi's dream representation, who assists Mario through his treks in the Dream World.
