Bitsi Islet is a location in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. It is found in the southwest Brrrning Sea. Ryder O'Reilly resides on this island, hosting a series of challenges which revolve around collecting musical notes while moving on rails using the Bro Ball technique.
When Mario and Luigi first land on the islet, Ryder O'Reilly greets them, explains the challenge, and directs them to hit the nearby P Switch to begin the challenge. When Mario and Luigi hit the switch, musical notes appear on the nearby platform and begin to form a trail across the rails. There is a limited amount of time to collect the notes. After approximately five seconds, the switch will reset; if pressed again, it will clear any existing music notes and reset the challenge.
After the first challenge is cleared, if the Ball Blitz technique has not been obtained, Ryder will suggest that the Bros. return when they have obtained a way to move faster. Once Ball Blitz is learned, a second challenge is offered, adding moving rails which must be crossed with Ball Blitz and gaps in the rails which must be jumped over. After clearing the second challenge, a third iteration is offered, with the third course reaching higher than the others.
After completing the third challenge, Ryder states that she is out of ideas, and no further challenges are offered.

NamingEdit
"Bitsi" is a pun on the childish adjective "itsy-bitsy", matching up with Itsi Islet, found in the same sea. Like other islets in the game, its name references its small size.
