- “Mmph... Mmphhh... Ahhh... Reefs... Strong sentinels of the ocean... Fascinating figures... Stirring imagination... ”
- —Issa Rock, Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Issa Rock is a character in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. She has yellow skin and green eyes, and she wears a rock-like hat and orange apron. She can first be found on Rumbla Island where she complains about only seeing rocks in the sea, then moves to Shipshape Island after Gorumbla is defeated. Issa Rock keeps track of the number of rare reefs Mario and Luigi find, and she rewards them with gear when they discover enough. She also builds statues based on the reefs on Shipshape Island and writes poetry about them. Her name is a phonetic reading of "is a rock."
