Offandon Island is a part ofConcordia inMario & Luigi: Brothership. After the destruction of the originalUni-Tree, it is found adrift inGulchrock Sea, and is the thirteenth island to be linked toShipshape Island. When theGreat Conductor created a vortex to summonMario andLuigi from theMushroom Kingdom to save Concordia,Bowser andhis minions were inadvertently brought to Concordia with them. They proceeded to take control of much of Gulchrock Sea, including Offandon Island. Since Offandon was a poor region even before Concordia split apart, and Bowser brought nourishment and protection to its citizens, they grew to support the Koopa King. Mario and Luigi are treated as outlaws on the island due to Bowser spreading propaganda about them.
History[edit]
Mario, Luigi, andSnoutlet wash up on Offandon after Bowser attacks Shipshape Island, sending them overboard. They quickly discover that the island is under Bowser's control, and the citizens of Offandon have been poisoned against the Mario Bros. As a result, they are unable to enter the main plaza and must quickly reach thelighthouse to link the island before they are captured. They meet a child namedBuddy, who is the only person on the island who supports them. However, he also befriendedBowser Jr., and their friendship becomes unstable when Jr. finds out he likes the Mario Bros. Later, Mario and Luigi return to Offandon wearingdisguises so they can gather information aboutWayaway Island and learn how to reach it. However, when they are offered Wayaway Soda, Luigi takes off his mask to drink it, giving them away. Bowser's minions gang up on the brothers and throw them in jail. They are rescued by Buddy, who brings them theJail Cell Key, allowing them to escape.
OnceReclusa takes over, the Offandon citizens are no longer hostile toward the Mario Bros., so they no longer have to wear disguises in the plaza. They return to Offandon to collect theBond of Buddy and Bowser Jr. in their quest to fill upConnie'sBonding Can so they can break into theSoli-Tree. Buddy enlists the brothers' help after Bowser Jr. is attacked by his ownGlohm-infected subordinates. Once the Glohmed minions are taken out, Bowser Jr. starts a brief argument with Buddy over him getting Mario and Luigi involved, but they make up, and the brothers are able to collect their Bond.

Notes[edit]
- Bowser Jr. states that whoever captures the Mario Bros. would be rewarded 98,303,150 coins. By Japanesegoroawase, this number sequence can be read as
9 8 ,3 0 3 ,1 5 0 (kuppasamasaikō), which may be taken to mean「クッパ様 最高 」(Kuppa-sama saikō, "Bowser is the best").- In the Japanese localization, A Concordian in the plaza attempts to solve thegoroawase.[3] In other localizations, he instead remarks that the reward is a weird number.
