'''''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''''' (known as '''''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros.''''' in European languages) is a title for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It is the fourth installment in the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]], preceded by ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' from 2009, and succeeded by ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' in 2015. The story follows [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s journey on [[Pi'illo Island]] to rescue [[Princess Peach]] from [[Antasma]] and [[Bowser]] and to stop them from conquering the real world with the [[Dream Stone]]. During this journey, they find and rescue an ancient species of the island called the [[Pi'illo]]s. One Pi'illo, [[Prince Dreambert]], accompanies the brothers and [[Starlow]] in order to help them. This game is part of "[[The Year of Luigi]]," celebrating the 30th anniversary of [[Luigi]]'s debut. As such, Luigi has a much bigger role in the game than in the previous ''Mario & Luigi'' games. Many of the game's mechanics in the [[Dream World]] center around him, including [[Dreamy Luigi|Luiginary Works]], [[Luiginoid]]s, [[Luiginary Attack]]s, and [[Giant Luigi]]. ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'' is a graphically pivotal entry in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, as its art style has been used in all future installments in the series (''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam|Paper Jam]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|Bowser's Minions]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''). The name comes from the term "dream team", a team composed of the greatest performers of a certain talent.

During battle, Mario and Luigi can fill up the Badge gauge by attacking enemies, with more successful attacks filling up the gauge faster. Bros. and Luiginary attacks fill it up even faster than normal attacks. When the gauge is full, a Badge Effect will take up a Badge Slot. Badges can be swapped out in and out of battle, although the Badge gauge will reset. Below is a list of all Badge combinations.

===Out-of-battle techniques===

There are out-of battle techniques that Mario and Luigi learn throughout their adventure. The first techniques are jumping. The player uses {{button|3ds|A}} (or {{button|3ds|Y}}) for Mario and {{button|3ds|B}} (or {{button|3ds|X}}) for Luigi. Upon pressing {{button|3ds|R}}, it cycles the bros' current techniques, which are paired in sets, going to to different ones gained later on. There are four sets of different techniques. When in the dream world, the only ability that both of the Bros. can use is the jump ability, while the hammer is exclusive to Mario, and only Luigi can use Luiginary Works.

===Luiginary Works===

Luiginary Works are special abilities found in the [[Dream World]]. When Dreamy Luigi is near a Luiginary Work, both react to each other, causing them to be surrounded by a green light. Dreamy Luigi, then, can "possess" the object, creating a special object that can be controlled by the sleepy Luigi, with Starlow's help. As said by Prince Dreambert, the Luiginary Works are the objects of connection between the real world and the Dream World.
