Mario & Luigi Brothership bulbs

When players get to an island in Mario and Luigi: Brothership, they'll find various bulbs. These bulbs are often found floating in places leading up to a higher area or between two areas, making it clear that if opened, they could be used as platforms to reach an inaccessible area.

This means that if players want to explore every inch of an island in Mario and Luigi: Brothership, they must open these intriguing bulbs. To get the bulbs in Mario and Luigi: Brothership to bloom into flowers, gamers must reach the lighthouse of the island they're on and connect it to Shipshape Island and the Uni-Tree.

The flowers that appear from the bulbs are called Connectar Flowers, and they are only able to bloom once Connectar energy has been restored on the island.

After restoring the energy to an island, players should make sure that they return to it and try to find bulbs that have turned into Connectar Flowers, as Connectar Flower paths often lead to areas with all sorts of goodies, such as useful items and materials or money spots.
