Brothership What Happens When You Die

The Game Over screen will appear if both Mario and Luigi are defeated in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Learn what happens when you die in the game and all about the Game Over screen in this guide!

What Happens When You Die?

Game Over Screen Allows Retries

Try Again

The Game Over screen will appear when both Mario and Luigi reach 0 HP and falls in battle. From here, you can select between two options:

Try Again - restart the battle with the same setup.
Back to Title Screen - go back to the title screen where you can continue your journey from the last checkpoint, where you can get better gear, change Battle Plugs, or grind extra levels.

There is no penalty from being defeated and doing multiple retries.

Unlock Easier Difficulties After Multiple Retries

Game Over screen with all difficulties

Losing multiple times in the same battle eventually unlocks easier difficulties in the Game Over screen. These make Mario and Luigi stronger for the current battle, but will revert to Standard difficulty after achieving victory.
