Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

THE GOOD:
This game offers a Bros. Attack which most of the other Mario games do not have. It allows a good story line, and new region that has neever been seen before and a good graphic taste along with it. Given the ability to dodge attacks based on timing was briliant. The moves used were cool and effective, and even though the item were the same they still made a comback for new items (such a Syrup and Nuts). One of the best Mario and Luigi games ever made, given it's strong point rather than it's horrible points which there are very few of. Also, the monster in game are quite good in animation and graphics. Moves they use are quite cool as well. Some of the puzzles you need to solve are mind twisting but none-the-less you can pass them with a little hard thinking. The partnership with Bowser was also new and cool. This game also brings back old characters which is also good. The ability to play the old Mario game is also a very good addition to the games best...

THE GOOD:
Excellent Humour
Exploration
Battle-system
Large
Control System

THE BAD:
Some sections require super-human reflexes
Sound

SUMMARY:
The GBA finally gets hold of a Mario RPG, but can it hold it's own against the legions of other RPGs on the GBA?

Graphically the game is about average. Nothing wrong, but nothing particularly outstanding either. The sounds are horrible though. The sound effects are OK, but the tunes really get to you.

Now the gameplay. You play as both Mario and Luigi, with a bizarre system that lets you control both at the same time. Generally one follows the other, but actions are assigned to a button for each one. The system works, with the brothers even teaming up.

The battle system is not your traditional RPG fare either. After selecting your move you must follow the on-screen commands to pull off your moves perfectly. Equally, you must actively dodge enemy attacks. Great, but in...

THE GOOD:
- You can have equipment.
- You do over 10 damage unlike the other Mario RPG's.
- It isn't the same 'Save Peach from Bowser' thing.
- Over 40 bosses.
- The colorful backgrounds and good music.
- A large game that lasts 30 hours.
- You have Luigi!
- So much humor.
- Interactive battling. Such as dodging attacks.

THE BAD:
- They diss on Luigi so much.

SUMMARY:
This is the best Mario game in the series. The game is almost to a perfect 5 but I don't think anything id perfect. If you love Mario games this is the one. I totally recommend it for Luigi, the sounds they make, the mustache stat, and so much more. I hope they come out with a sequel and it better not be the same concept of defeating Bowser. I loved this game and thus it is very cheap now.

Mario & Luigi: Superstarsaga is one hell of a game. While not being a direct sequel to the Squaresoft developed Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven stars, it can be looked at as the unofficial one.

The game starts off with Toad (at least A Toad) comes rushing into Mario`s house. Mario is taking a shower and Toad gets to spot him without clothes. This gives Toad a strange red color in his face and I don`t think I want to know the reason if there is one.. Toad tells Mario to come with him to the castle, so Mario and his green brother takes a trip to visit Princess Toadstool. Now, you get too see the Princess getting a visit, not by Mario, but by Cackletta, a witch from the Bean Kingdom. Cackletta appearenly steals Toadstool`s voice and replaces it with explosives. This is pretty dramatic as now, our lovely girl can`t talk without making lots of noise. This is the reason for Mario and Luigi to start their adventure this time and it will be full of dangers and...

THE GOOD:
Graphics, were good, Sound was good, and it has great gameplay.

THE BAD:
Nothing bad but, the battle system can be better.

SUMMARY:
Graphics 9/10 These are good graphics for a GBA game. They're nice and clear.

Story 8/10 The story is fine. Instead of the Princess getting kidnapped she gets a voice that makes things break.

Battle System 7/10 Its good when you first try it but, it gets repititive because, you do the same moves and attacks most of the time. Also there's something called Bros. attacks which are hard to pull off.

Sound 10/10 The sound is great. You can hear it nice and perfect.


Gameplay 8/10 This is fun to play. You can dodge attacks enemies make. I don't know what else to say.

Overall 9/10 I enjoyed playing this game. The battle system wasn't the best though. That was the reason why I didn't give this game a perfect five. I recommend you buy...

THE GOOD:
It is fully detailed... sooo funny... from battles to the story telling... haha... it's simply amazing!

THE BAD:
It's kind of... short? I wanted more... and more... but it ended soo fast... well... 40 hours... I wanted more...

SUMMARY:
I highly recommend this game! The story is so funny... it keeps you laughing with all the things there happen... nonsense all the time... haha... but it really is worth the playing. You really don't know who the villian is until you play and play... and play... and watch things happen... unexpected most of the time... from Luigi dressing like Peach fooling Bowletta (Crackleta in Bowser's body)... to Mario/Luigi Burning/Shocking each other... haha...

The brother techniques are awesome and the timing required to be performed keep you on the action all the time... and watch what happens if you miss the correct time... haha.. other detail I like. If you have the oportunity of playing this...

THE GOOD:
I really liked the dual/one player action, the use of both Mario and Luigi (using the A and B button), The game play, a pretty good story, the graphics are pretty nice, and the battle system is pretty challengeing.

THE BAD:
Mario gets all the Fame, caling Luigi Mr. Green......game was too easy.

SUMMARY:
Well this game looks to be another Instalment of a rip off Mario RPG. But this time you only control Mario and Luigi, helping to look for Princess's voice. They fight through countless levels tring to get her voice back and save Bean Bean World from utter destruction. There were many of good things to this game. This one of the best games that I played up to date...The Two player Action, but you control both players, is great. Working out a good system to defeat your enemies always helps in battle.But there werent to many of the bad things..I mean I see Mario is popular, but why did they bring...

THE GOOD:
Great story and plot, good battle command and good graphics.There's a lot of enemies and bosses too.

THE BAD:
Not enough towns, and the game is a little too short.

SUMMARY:
This game is a great Mario game.This is the third of the Mario RPG series, and have good story, changes from the ordinary " Bowser kidnaps Peach " and the battle command is good.In the game, there's a huge lot of enemies and bosses for a Mario Games, especially because it's short.The game will dure about 15 hours, filled with puzzles, battles and many secrets....

The game doesn't have enough towns, there's only two towns, plus, you finish the game with one of those towns destroyed.There's not not enough items too, a few items only, and some equipement pieces.There's still more than Paper Mario, but not like Super Mario RPG. Thenew battle command, Bros Attack, will allow you to attack an enemy with the two brothers.You'll need to press the buttons in the...

THE GOOD:
It looks beautiful
Very nice music
Two games in one
Lots of fun mini-games
Pleasing battle-system and cool boss-battles
Funny and interesting story-line
Well-designed
Lots of variation
Smart puzzles
Strong replay-value

THE BAD:
One of the two games is Mario Brothers (again!)
Not the longest and hardest RPG you'll play
Not as good as the N64's Paper Mario

SUMMARY:
Graphics: The game is very good-looking, with smooth, sharp and colorful visuals that are very varied too. The characters look good and the style is very fitting for the game. Overall, this is actually among the best-looking GBA games.

Sound: Mario and Luigi do in fact speak a bit in this game, a welcome surprise, and the sound-effects are great by GBA-standards. The music is variable, some tunes are excellent, some are meerly okay, but all in all, the impression of the sound and music is very positive.

Gameplay: Similar to...

Gameplay - 9.6 - Mario and Luigi is an unique turn-based RPG mixed with platform elements and timing. You control Mario and Luigi seperately using the A and B button respectfully (but they can switch places). Borrowing ideas from the previous RPGs, there is no random pop-up battles; instead the enemies are on the main screen. Also, you can perform "first strike" by attacking the enemy outside the battle arena to gain the advantage of striking damage first. On the downside, if an enemy attacks first, the character first touched will be unable to make a turn in the first battle. Battling is the main component in this game, but puzzles also play an important and challenging role. Further in the game, Mario and Luigi will gain new sole and combination attacks to keep the game interesting. However, the biggest factor in this game is the humour which include hilarious scenes and many 'in' jokes which refer to past Mario games. It's literally a laugh out loud game.
