As you play , you'll eventually discover that Ellow is missing, and you must hunt down the Extension Corps. You'll start this quest on Lottacoins Island in Building 1F. You have to get to the roof, but there is no direct passage there, and looking around for a final set of stairs will leave you stumped. The real way to get to the roof involves finding a pipe puzzle room and using it to get to the roof.

This is one of those puzzles that highlights how much effort was made to bring the brothers back in this light RPG. The developers obviously wanted to add in every puzzle they could, and getting to the roof through a puzzle was a good idea. This puzzle is a little complicated at first, especially with the entrances to the pipe maze fooling you. There are a lot of red herrings in this puzzle, and you might think you've got the right way until you realize what pipe you really need to go through.

When you find out that Ellow is missing, you'll be far from where you need to get to in. The first thing you should do is head north to the nearby stairs. Once you're on floor 3F, head to the center of the room and go to the left. Once you reach the next set of stairs, go up them as well. Head all the way down the hall andignore every door on your way.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is an RPG with several twists and turns to its story, including some pretty big reveals and a villain who just won’t stop.

Come together with Luigi andpick the rolling ball so you can fit inside the pipe. From there, head into the pipe and follow it all the way to the left, then turn and go into the new big room with a maze that reminds you why is the RPG revival the franchise has sorely needed.

You can stop being a ball once you get inside the puzzle room in. You're going to have to set up the pipes so you can get through. While it doesn't look like it
