Sprite light bulbs are collectibles that usually appear on an island on your first visit, with others appearing upon revisiting to further incentivize players to fast travel between islands, even after finishing the story there in Mario and Luigi: Brotherhood.

While the use of Sprite Bulbs isn't immediately known, it's best to start collecting them early. Rumbla Island is the first in the game, and after revisiting it for the first time, you will be able to track down all the Sprite Bulbs on the island; here's where to find them.

The first two bulbs are located right next to the blue pipe when you enter the island. Along the far right side of the peninsula there will be one down to the right and one more or less straight ahead to the left of the blue pipe.

The third Sprite Bulb location will be directly north from where you entered the island along the left side of the path. There will then be two more Sprite Bulbs if you continue left through the flower.

The seventh Sprite Bulb is located much further to the right of the island than the previous ones. While the bulb's location is further north, head to the flower along the bottom right side of the map and use it to jump up the hill. Heading north, you will find panels on which each brother will have to jump in order based on color and letter of the panel. On the opposite side will be another hill with a rock that can be smashed to reveal the Sprite Bulb.

The eighth location of Sprite Bulb is found when you reach the city and go left. Near the save block, you'll see a green L button that Luigi can press by hitting with his hammer to lower the bridge, with the light bulb on the other side.

From the previous location, head to the far right of the island to find the ninth Sprite Bulb location.

Heading further into the island and towards the new eastern section now open during your visit, head towards the central section and go down the hill to the yellow rock. Destroy the rock to release the tenth Sprite Bulb.

The final location of the Sprite Bulb is just one section to the left of the previous one, along the wall to the upper right as you enter the next clearing.

After progressing a bit in the game, you will unlock the Battle Plugs, which are made using sprite light bulbs. Battle Plugs range greatly from passive upgrades, such as accessories, to active abilities for use in battle. Battle Plugs offer some of the best power-ups or abilities, while stronger ones require players to craft weaker ones first. To use some of the best Battle Plugs in the game, you will have to craft a lot, which means you will need a lot of Sprite Bulbs, so it's best to start collecting them early.
