Lottacoins Island in Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a unique place, not just because of its corporate culture, but also because it uses combination locks. I’ve been high and low in the game﷽, and I’m fairly confident this is the on🌱ly place that has them.
There are actually three combination locks on Lottacoins Island, but only two are actually necessary to proceed; the third is only related to an optional side🐠 quest. For all three, the intended approach is to find hints and figure out the combination based on those. You might be here becaus🌌e you’re stuck or are maybe just not much for puzzles and would rather just bypass the problem.
I’ll tell you what you need to do to solve them without spoiling things, then just give you the code at the end. So, if you’re just interested in the code, scroll to tꦍhe bottom of each section. If you just need help, don’t scroll too far.
What is the first combination on Lottacoins Island
To solve the first combination lock on Lottacoins Island, you are given two numbers, but the other two yo🐷u need to figure out. This is the easiest one by far, requiring the least legwork. The first hint you💮 can get from one of the people at the counter. They give you this picture of a table with a plant on it.
The boxes in the topꦫ-right corner depict where the digit falls. As for the plant and table; in order to get the digit for that box, you need to count all the tables in the lobby, the put that number in the far left box.
The second hint is in the office across the bridge to the east of the lobby. You’ll see a shining thing on the ground, pick it up and you’ll be given a much more vague hint. The boxes in the top-rig💎ht show that this is for the third box, and you’re given a crude picture of, uh, something plus something. I don’t know how to describe it; just look at it. What it depicts is the cabinet doors on the shelf in the back of the room, and the utensil holders with, er, paint brushes. Count the cabinets and utensil holders and add those numbers together. That’s the third box.
For the last digits, talk to the radio thing in the corner. A Zokket thug will just give you the remaining tﷺwo, “Second from the left: 3. On far right: 7.” Simple enough, now you should have what you need. Punch them in order in the side room beside the gate in th🍒e lobby and hit the last box to confirm it. You should be told its correct.
The code for the first combination lock is: 5387.
What is the second combination on Lottacoins Island
The second combination lock on Lottacoins Island is a bit tougher. Talking to the guy behind the bars, you’re given four hints. Like the last hints, ♎the diagram 𓄧in the upper-right corner shows which box a hint corresponds to.
The first hint shows a drawing of two security cameras and a triangle. The two cameras you’re looking for in question are in the same room where you got your hints. You’ll find them in the Northwest and Northeast corners. If you walk up to them, you can interact with the screen beneath them. Doing so will show you what they’re looking at, and each will reveal a number of shapes set in a 3×2 grid. Among these shapes are triangles. Count the triangles depicted in both cameras viewpoints and you’ll have the first digit.
The next diagram shows potted palm trees (I think, I’m neith♈er a botanist nor an arborist). You’ll find these palm trees in the hallway across the bridge. To decipher the hint, notice that there are four trees, then a gap for the doorway, then another tree. This should help you orient yourself. From the south side (closest to the screen), you’re going to want to look at the first and third trees. Examine their b𓆏ases, and you’ll be given a greater-than number and a less-than number. Find the number that falls between those two and you’ll have the second digit.
Next up, we have four, uh, sandwich-looking things. Between them is arithmetic symbols, so if an “H” represents a pillar, it looks like this H+H-H+H. On the lower bridge🔥, you may have noticed numbers on the pillars, that is what the diagram is in reference to. So, you’re going to be looking at 6+4-9+1. ꦑDo the math and you have your third digit.
Finally, we have another camera diagram, this time looking at four boxes in a diamond pattern with the bottom one shaded in. This camera you’ll find on 2F in the corner. Once again, examine the screen below it to꧂ see what it’s looking at. You’ll find a diamond of squares with numbers on them. The bottom number is the one you need for the fourth digit.
Now that you have all your numbers, you can now punch them in. You should have found: 6529.
What is the third combination on Lottacoins Island
The last lock turns up in a side quest much later on, well after you complete the main quest on Lottacoins Island. It iไs also formatted differently because, while you still 🔯gather hints, they’re not diagrams and you get them from people sitting in the lobby. It’s also punched into a set of blocks you already used before; the ones that open the gate.
You can get the 💯hints in whatever orde💞r, so I’m going to go from left to right. The first hint is “The secret code has four numbers. If you add them, the total is 23.” Cool. Without context, that’s largely meaningless, so keep that in mind and let’s move on.
The second hint is🎉, “It starts with a 3. The next three numbers get larger as yo🌸u go right.” Now we’re getting somewhere. The first number is a three, and from this, we can deduce that there is no 1 or 2 in the combination. Moving on.
The last hint is that “There are four numbers in the code. And two of them are less than 5.” Okay, so get ready to do a little deductive math here. We know the first digit is three, two numbers are less than five, and the numbers get larg💟er as you proceed. That means the first two numbers have tღo be 3 and 4.
That gives us 7 in total, and we need 23. The difference is 16, but if the numbers get larger as they go right, that means they can’t be equal, ruling out 8+8. It can’t be꧅ 6+10 because it needs to be one digit. Th🐟at leaves 7+9 as the only possible two digits.
Putting everything you found together, you’ll get the final code of 3479. Punch those in, and you’ll get some 💖fanta🎉stic prizes.
