Desolatt Island
Appears in	Mario & Luigi: Brothership (2024)
Greater location	Concordia
Inhabitants	Concordians, IDLE

Desolatt Island is a Concordian desert town in Mario & Luigi: Brothership which became an island after the original Uni-Tree was destroyed. It is the first island to be found drifting in Color-Full Sea, and the fifth one to be linked to Shipshape Island. It is the home of IDLE, a group of kids who become major allies in Mario and Luigi's quest to restore Concordia.

History

When Mario and Luigi arrive, Snaptors are attacking the island, abducting its residents. The brothers meet a quartet of kids named Ireen, Dulles, Loog, and Ellow, who refer to themselves as IDLE. They are the island's self-proclaimed protectors, and only they know how to reach the lighthouse. They test the brothers by playing hide-and-seek with them, each one hiding in a different part of town. After finding them all, they open the way to the lighthouse, where Mario and Luigi encounter the same trio of villains they encountered in the Lushgreen Sea, Great Lighthouse Island. They reveal their names to be Ecks, Ten, and Shun, known collectively as the Extension Corps. The brothers also meet their boss, Zokket, who orders Ten to dispose of them while he and the others continue with his plan. Mario and Luigi battle Ten and defeat him, and he flies away on a Snaptor. He accidentally drops some Battle Plugs, prompting Snoutlet to explain that they can be used to gain special effects in battle. Ten returns, wanting his Battle Plugs back, and immediately fights the brothers again, with Snoutlet using this as an opportunity to give them a tutorial on using and taking advantage of Battle Plugs. Midway into the battle, Ten retreats and flies away again, allowing Mario and Luigi to link the island to Shipshape.

Naming

"Desolatt" is a portmanteau of "desolate" and "watt", alluding to both Concordia's general electric theme and the plug-shaped houses on the island.
