There is a ton of fan service in this game that had me cracking up throughout, especially focused on Luigi. What I love about the Mario & Luigi games are the outrageous characters and humor and I’m glad to see that even in the very first game of the series they have a ton of it, if not more. This is a good way to maybe boost up some lower leveled stats quicker. Leveling up will distribute a set of points between each attribute, but what is nice here is that you will then be able to choose a category to get some extra points in by timing an “A” button press with a slot machine of numbers. HP (Health), BP (Bros Points), POW (attack power), DEF (Defense), Speed (How often you can attack), Stache (Luck). Most of these stats are pretty typical to the RPG genre, but of course they are renamed to fit our heroes. This being a RPG you will gain experience points for each battle and level up. It helps add a bit of depth to the combat with certain enemies and boss fights that may be immune to certain attacks. There is a nice range of different types of attacks and each attack has an unlockable more powerful version and you will have to determine which attack will do the best against the target you’re currently facing. will essentially use the other to help power their attack. The main thing that makes these team up games great are the co-op moves or “Bros. You have your hammers and elemental attacks as well Mario gets fire and Luigi gets electricity. You have your standard jump attack where you can press the attack button again just as you hit your target to trigger an additional jump.

Since I am now a seasoned Mario & Luigi player this kind of slowed down the momentum in spots and some of the puzzles were a bit easy since I understand how the Bros. There were a few times where I could tell that this was the first in the series by how much they would stop and really explain the team work and the separate buttons to control each character. Mario, Luigi, and Bowser then fly to the Beanbean Kingdom with Bowser’s airship and thus starts their journey and high jinks.Ĭonsidering I never played Superstar Saga at its original release I was kind of worried the overall gameplay would feel a little archaic, but fortunately it still seems to hold up perfectly. to save Peach with the intention of stealing her once her voice won’t blow him up. Bowser then decides to team up with the Bros. and Bowser witness the Beanish witch, Cackletta and her minion, Fawful, steal Princess Peach’s voice and replace it with explosives. After being summoned to the Mushroom Palace to intercept and stop Bowser from stealing Princess Peach again, the Bros. The story is pretty much classic Mario and mainly used as a backdrop for the great gameplay and side characters. It also comes with a bonus game mode called Minion Quest: the Search for Bowser to sweeten the deal that much more. Suffice it to say I was extremely happy to find out that a remake was being made for the 3DS (even if it wouldn’t include the 3D feature), but I’m happy to say that the game holds up even to today’s gameplay standards and the visuals look as good if not better than the recent Mario & Luigi titles. Whatever the circumstances were it somehow flew underneath my radar and my first Mario & Luigi game was Partners in Time for the DS. Let me start off by saying I never got around to playing the original version of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
