How to find Wayaway Island in Mario and Luigi: Brothership

Guy puts up a house fast.

This might be a spoiler, but I assume you’re reading this guide because you’re at this part: Bowser shows up in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. He plays a decent role around Gulchrock Sea, but one of the first things you need to do is find the 𓆏guy. You’re told his castle is on Wayaway Island, but you n🃏eed to find it first.

If you’re someone who is heavy on exploration, this shouldn’t be too much of a problem. You mostly just need to poke around the right Islet after you first start the quest. This happens through the normal course of the story, but if you visit the entrance to Wayaway Island early, it won’t 🙈be there. Or, at least, Mario and Luigi won’t know what they’re looking for and, therefore, can’t activate it.

Anyway, in Gulchrock Sea, if you sai🌌l to the Northwest, you’ll find four Islets Meeger Islet, Mynor Islet, Paquette Islet, and Nanoh Islet. They all have a series of fences and pipes, but no real practical use unless you want to grind out some early XP on Spinies. I wouldn’t recommend it. But it’s here that you find your way to Wayaway Island.

How to get to Wayaway Island

To get to Wayaway Island in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, you first need to go to Mynor Islet first. Mynor Islet is essentially just one long strip𒁃 stretching from West to East. Once you arrive, go East and jump down the pipe you find there, which will take you to Paquette Islet.

On Paquette Islet, go south to𝓡 the pipe at the bottom. This one leads to Meeger Islet. Jump through that one, and you’ll arrive at the islet with three trees that were hinted at. Between the three trees is a small switch that you can interact with. Flip it, and a new pipe will show up that will lead to Wayaway Island.

Once you’re on Wayaway Island, you still won’t be able 🐈to jump straight back to Shipshape Island. It can’t be linked up, as there is no lighthouse. However, you don’t need to retrace your steps through the Islets. There’s a pipe switch on Wayaway that will create a route straight back to Mynor Islet where you can take th💜e cannon back to Shipshape.

I should also note that this isn’t the only route you can go through. You can go from Mynor, to Paquette, to Nanoh, to Meeger, bဣut you’ll note that there’s an extra step in there. Mynor, Paquette, Meeger is more direct.
