'''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''' (known in Japan as ''Mario & Luigi RPG 4: Dream Adventure'' and in Europe and Australia as ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros.'') is a ''[[Portal: Mario Brothers|Mario Bros.]]'' RPG that was released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2013. It is the fourth installment of the ''Mario & Luigi'' subseries and the first of this subseries to be released for the 3DS. Its release was also connected to 2013's Year of Luigi promotion.

=Story=

[[Princess Peach]] receives a mysterious invitation to a resort island known as [[Pi'illo Island]] and travels there accompanied by [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Toadsworth]]. Peach and Toadsworth get lost in some ruins, and when the brothers find them, they also find a mysterious pillow that turns out to be an imprisoned Pi'illo prince, [[Prince Dreambert]]. Luigi turns out to be a special person capable of opening portals to the Dream World by sleeping on sealed Pi'illos, but when he does so, [[Antasma|a mysterious menace]] pulls Peach into the dream world. Mario and Luigi end up going on a new quest to save the Pi'illo people and Peach. The situation becomes more complicated when [[Bowser]] enters the picture and teams up with Antasma in search of the powerful [[Dream Stone]].

=Gameplay=

This installment reprises the simplistic gameplay controls from the previous games. Mario and Luigi move together on the overworld, and they can perform actions using the A and B or X and Y Buttons respectively. Throughout the game, they learn new abilities that they can use to interact with the overworld in different ways: to clear obstacles, get to out of reach areas and discover buried items. They are similarly controlled with each button in battles, which continue the practices of timed attacks, Bros. Attacks and allowing players the opportunity to dodge or deflect enemy attacks. This installment also features an enhanced version of the badge system in which multiple badges can be charged and combined together. Save Blocks appear in the game as ways to save players' progress, though it is also possible to save the game at any point through the main menu.

This game also features some areas set in the dream world, which takes a sidescrolling perspective in which Mario travels accompanied by a dream version of Luigi known as Dreamy Luigi. Dreamy Luigi can merge with some background fixtures known as Luiginary Works, from which he can perform actions by using the touch screen to play with the sleeping Luigi's mustache in nose. Within battles in the dream world, Mario fights alone, though various Dreamy Luigis carry out echoes of Mario's attacks and can also be used in some special moves called Luiginary Attacks (a counterpart of Bros. Attacks). This game also sometimes features giant battles, similar to those found in [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|the previous installment]].
