Every challenge and reward in Mario & Luigi: Brothership

You will face many obstacles on your quest across the islands of Concordia in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, in the form of classic turn-based battles and exploration. However, like every other Switch title, those who enjoy hunting for Trophies or Achievements won’t find them here. Instead, Mario & Luigi: Brothership includes its own set of in-game challenges to scratch that same itch. These are difficult tasks that are completely optional but reward you with some very precious upgrade materials that are worth the effort. These will push you to use all the game’s mechanics and tools. Most will be available from the start, but some only unlock later on so you can’t complete them all at once. If you want to know what challenges await you in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, here’s every challenge in the game and what your reward is for completing them.
