What Are Sprite Bulbs Used For In Mario and Luigi: Brothership

Sprite Bulbs are a collectible item that usually appears on an island on your first visit, with more appearing on a revisit to further incentivize players to fast travel between islands, even after finishing the story there in Mario and Luigi: Brothership.

While the use of Sprite Bulbs isn’t immediately known, it’s best to start collecting them early on. Rumbla Island is the first one in the game, and after revisiting it for the first time, you’ll be able to track down all the Sprite Bulbs on the island; here’s where to find them.

Mario and Luigi: Brothership – All Stats Explained

Mario & Luigi: Brothership has six stats for the brothers to level up; here’s what each one does.

In total there are 28 Sprite Bulbs to be found on the island, spread out between 11 locations. After interacting with a Sprite Bulb and releasing them, they will run around and you’ll simply need to catch up to them and make contact to collect them. Using Luigi Logic by pressing L will have him act independently and make catching each Bulb much easier.

The first two bulbs are found right near the blue pipe when you enter the island. Along the far right side of the peninsula will be one set in the bottom right, and one roughly straight across to the left of the blue pipe.

The third Sprite Bulb location will be straight north from where you entered the island along the left side of the path. There will then be two more Sprite Bulbs if you continue left across the flower.

The seventh Sprite Bulb is found far to the right side of the island from the previous few. While the location of the Bulb is further north, head towards the flower along the bottom right side of the map and use it to jump on onto the hill. Heading north, you’ll find panels that each brother will need to jump on in order based on the color and letter of the panel. On the far side will be another hill with a rock that can be smashed to reveal the Sprite Bulb.

The eighth Sprite Bulb location is found upon reaching town and heading left. Near the save block, you’ll see a green L button that Luigi can press by hitting with his hammer to lower the bridge, with the Bulb being on the other side.

From the previous location, head to the far right side of the island to find the ninth Sprite Bulb location.

Heading further into the island and to the new eastern section now opened on your revisit, head to the middle section and down the hill to the yellow rock. Destroy the rock to release the tenth Sprite Bulb.

The final Sprite Bulb location is just one section over to the left from where the previous one one, along the upper wall right when you enter the next clearing.

After progressing a bit further into the game, you’ll unlock Battle Plugs, which are crafted using Sprite Bulbs. Battle Plugs range greatly from passive boosts, like accessories, to active abilities to use in battle. Battle Plugs offer some of the best boosts or abilities, with later, stronger ones requiring players to craft weaker ones first. To use some of the best Battle Plugs in the game, you’ll need to craft a lot meaning you’ll need a lot of Sprite Bulbs, so it’s best to start collecting early.
