The Brother Groove is a minigame featured in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. It is played several times throughout the game whenever Mario and Luigi meet Dyode and Emmit, and it lasts longer each time it is played. The player uses the , , , and buttons to have Mario and Luigi perform dance moves to the rhythm. Each time this minigame is played, the player must successfully hit all buttons, although if this is failed at least twice, the difficulty can be lowered to allow a few misses. If the player presses
