Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, known in Japan as Mario & Luigi RPG 4: Dream Adventure (マリオ&ルイージRPG4 ドリームアドベンチャー, Mario ando Ruīji Aru Pī Jī Fō: Dorīmu Adobenchā), is a role-playing game in development for the Nintendo 3DS. Revealed on February 14, 2013 on Nintendo Direct, it is the fourth entry in the Mario & Luigi series of Mario role-playing games and will be released in Q2/Q3 2013.

Gameplay

Dream Team features gameplay similar to previous Mario & Luigi games in which the player controls both Mario and Luigi, who explore the game overworld together and fight in turn-based battles.

At certain points of the story, Luigi falls asleep and opens a portal leading into his dreams, a realm that acts as a major setting for the game. Mario can enter and explore the dream world, during which the action is viewed from a side-scrolling perspective on the Nintendo 3DS 3D screen while the touchscreen shows Luigi's sleeping face. The player can tease Luigi by touching parts of his face, which causes events to occur in the dream world, such as the manipulation of platforms. While the player controls only Mario inside the dream world, multiple dream doppelgängers of Luigi can aid Mario in battle.
