- —IDLE, Mario & Luigi: Brothership[1]
IDLE is a group of characters who appear in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. They are a team of four Concordian children, each with a yellow-orange band tied around a different part of their body. Its name is an acronym made up of the initials of their members:[1]
- Ireen, a short, pink Concordian who wears her band as a hair bow and is the self-proclaimed leader of the group.
- Dulles, a lanky green Concordian with his band tied around his antenna.
- Loog, a short blue Concordian wearing his band as a scarf. He also proclaims himself as the leader of the group.
- Ellow, a stocky yellow Concordian wearing his band as a cape.
Princess Peach, Starlow, and Dorrie join the group after the Color-Full Sea Great Lighthouse Island is relit; Peach wears her band around her right arm, and Dorrie wears one around its neck, but Starlow does not wear one.
