Mario & Luigi: Brothership Max Level Achievement Sets New Challenge for Nintendo Switch Players

Released worldwide on July 26, 2024, Mario & Luigi: Brothership marks the triumphant return of Nintendo's beloved RPG duo to the Nintendo Switch.

Developed in-house by Nintendo in collaboration with AlphaDream’s legacy team, Brothership has quickly garnered acclaim for its engaging combat, whimsical storytelling, and vibrant world design.

As players set sail across the Starshade Archipelago, the game invites a blend of nostalgia and fresh adventure for veterans and newcomers alike. However, for those seeking to achieve everything Mario & Luigi: Brothership offers, a daunting post-game challenge awaits: reaching the elusive level 100 cap.

While finishing the main storyline is a 40-hour journey according to data from How Long To Beat, pushing the famous brothers to their maximum potential requires a far greater investment. As first reported by GamingReinvented, reaching the level 100 cap in Brothership is an extraordinary feat, demanding nearly 10 million experience points (EXP)—specifically, 9,999,999 EXP—far eclipsing the requirements seen in earlier franchise entries like Partners in Time or Dream Team, which offered caps between 500,000 and 3 million EXP.

This steep threshold has redefined endgame grinding for RPG fans on the Nintendo Switch. Unlike previous Mario & Luigi titles, Brothership offers minimal support for EXP farming.

The lone exception is the Arc Scope equipment, granting a modest 15% EXP bonus for clearing battles flawlessly.

Otherwise, EXP-boosting items are notably missing, making the ascent to level 100 a rigorous test of dedication.

In total, GamingReinvented documented that maxing out both Mario and Luigi took approximately 120 hours, tripling the time needed to complete the core game.

Their achievement was showcased in a recent YouTube video, highlighting the endurance required for completionists. Successful players can expect significant rewards: stat gains remain consistent all the way to level 100, meaning that the maxed-out brothers are immensely powerful, capable of dispatching even the final boss with a single attack.

GamingReinvented’s CM30 noted in a Reddit post that this overpowered state evokes a "true sense of accomplishment," even if it ultimately trivializes late-game challenges. With Brothership raising the bar for post-game mastery, the latest Nintendo RPG offers an impressive challenge for dedicated players.

As Mario & Luigi: Brothership continues to receive strong reviews, including praise as "easily the best Mario & Luigi RPG yet," the quest for level 100 remains a true badge of Switch RPG dedication.
