Editing Bond

{{Construction}}
'''Bonds''', first introduced in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', refer to powerful emotional connections between people, born from their mutual care and understanding of each other. Forming and strengthening Bonds could produce [[Connectar]], allowing the [[Uni-Tree]] to flourish and guide the [[Shipshape Island]] to create more Bonds. The power of exceptionally strong Bonds can act as a direct counter to [[Reclusa]]'s influence.

==History==
===Backgrounds===
Under the control of Reclusa, [[Zokket]] destroyed the Uni-Tree, fracturing the land of Concordia, which renders maintaining connections between people substantially more difficult, severing many Bonds across the land. To fight this, the [[Great Conductor]] uses the last of Connectar he holds to summon people with especially strong Bonds in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to various corners of Concordia, in hopes that they would become the saviors of Concordia.

===''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''===
Throughout the game, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s primary objective is to re-establish Bonds between the floating islands, and, by extension, their inhabitants. These Bonds would then empower the Uni-Tree on Shipshape Island, reconnecting closed currents and guide the Bros. to restore more of Concordia.

There is also a corruptive substance called [[Glohm]], which causes those affected by it to forget about any Bonds they have had with someone else and seek isolation. Known victims of this substance include Prince [[Chilliam]] of Slippenglide, a guard on Bulbfish Island, and [[Buddy]].

After Reclusa took over [[Fortress Zokket]] and turned it into the [[Soli-Tree]], [[Cozette]] task the brothers to take her [[Bonding Can]] and fill it with seven powerful Bonds in order to penetrate the barrier around the Soli-Tree. After it is filled with the potent power of Bonds, [[Connie]] showers the Bros. with it, allowing them to infiltrate the Soli-Tree. The Bonds needed are gathered from the following people:
*[[Connie]] and [[Cozette]].
*[[Burnadette]] and [[Chilliam]] on [[Skorcheen Island]].
*[[Willma]], [[Billdit]], [[Maykit]], and [[Gorumbla]] on [[Rumbla Island]].
*The [[IDLE]] group including [[Princess Peach]] and [[Starlow]], collected on [[Shipshape Island]] after finding the group on different islets.
*[[Dyode]] and [[Emmit]], collected when Mario and Luigi perform with them on [[Twistee Island]], [[Merrygo Island]], and [[Jellyfish Island]].
*[[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Buddy]] on [[Offandon Island]].
*The [[Extension Corps]] on [[Slippenglide Island]].

After the first battle against Reclusa, the Mario Bros. fell victim to [[Weeping Reclusa]]'s [[Glohm]] fog, unable to fight further. However, with Connie once again imbuing them with the power stored inside the Bonding Can, they were able to dispel the fog to keep pursuing their foe, and eventually use that power to eliminate Reclusa.
