 THE BEST MARIO GAME EVER November 26, 2003
12 out of 20 found this review helpful
This game is awsome. This time instead of fighting against the turtel guy you need to take on two goblins who stole the princess voice and replace it whit bombs. You can play as mario and luigi at the same time. A for mario and B for luigi you could switch them with start and is A for luigi and B for mario. You could do special moves in battel call Bros. You can twist with mario and jump really hig with luigi. Thats not all you jump on an enemy and they will lose points in battle. This game is the best mario game ever
 Mario RPG: The Next Generation November 16, 2003

I managed to get a pre-release copy of this a few weeks ago, and I'm about 15 hours into it. It's worth it at any price if you're a Mario fan. Make no mistake, it's an RPG.. But if you had fun with Mario RPG on SNES, I'm sure you'll positively love Mario and Luigi.As for the game, it'll take you about an hour to get used to using the shoulder buttons to change each brother's controls. The start key changes the order of the brothers and lets you perform other moves. The brothers have to cooperate and help each other with special moves to play through the game. You can jump onto enemies in the field, and you'll get a hit bonus going into battle. Some standard Mario physics still apply. Chain-stomp a turtle and it'll keep knocking into other enemies. You can defend against enemy attacks ("DEF" level) but they can't defend against yours. Defending against each enemy and learning their moves becomes a mini-game in itself. Use the "BROS." commands to have both brothers use a special battle move on the enemy. These commands level up to "Advance" level, so there's your incentive to practice them. They crammed a few other mini-games in there too, just so you won't get bored. There's also a Multi-player version of the original Mario Bros. (an updated version of the one you've played in Mario Advance.) Like I said, I haven't completed the game yet, but it's already worth it.

This game is in a way a tiny bit like Paper Mario only because of the battle modes.If you liked Paper Mario you are bound to be hooked to this game like I was.
The story goes like this:
The Good Will Embasadore from the Beanbean Kingdem has just arrived and wishes to improve her kingdom's ties with the Mushromm Kingdom.But instead has stolen Princess Peach's beautiful voice and replaced it with explosive vocabulary!Wait...that was no Good Will Embasadore...that was the evil witch, Cackletta!Now it's up to you, Mario & Luigi, to get Princess Peach's voice back and stop Cackletta from anymore destuction. This isn't just another GBA game!It's not just follow a path left to right!You get to explore the beautiful Beanbean landscape as you travel from places like Hoohoo Town home of the Hoohoolagins to Woohoo Hooniversity and lots more places too! Nintendo has managed to put some humor into this great game too!So you won't be just blistering up your fungers from playing too much, you'll be laughing your head off! This is a fantastic game that any Nintendo fan shouldn't miss!Even if you aren't a Nintendo fan you should still get this game!

It all started with the Squaresoft/Nintendo collaborative work on Super Mario RPG for the Super NES, and continued with Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64. Now, the guys of Alpha Dream over at Nintendo have turned out a truly wonderful, enjoyable, and innovative game deserving of the Mario (and Luigi) name, and more than worthy of its heritage. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga just plain rocks.Though the game has many, many excellent qualities, perhaps the best is the revolutionary control. Like some other RPGs, you can jump, swim, and dash through towns and wilderness, using Mario and Luigi's trademark moves, as well as recent additions to their super repertoires. The thing that sets Mario & Luigi apart, however, is the manner in which one button controls one brother, while the other button controls... well, the other brother. For example, in the locale screens, you can make Mario jump (or swing a hammer, or anything) with A, while making Luigi do something totally different with B. This dual control is the key to the game, and you'll have to apply it to everything from combat to just getting around the Beanbean Kingdom. Speaking of combat, it's turn-based, but the extra attacks from Mario RPG have made a triumphant return, accompanied by counterattacks, dodges, and Bros. Attacks that require timed sequences of button presses, which all serve to give the turn-based battles a very active and fun feeling. It's almost an action RPG. If all this seems to complicated, don't worry; the game does an excellent job of making absolutely sure you know how to use your myriad attacks. Besides, it's really not that difficult. The dual controls give the game a unique feeling that can't really be compared to anything else. Overall, the game is quite a hoot. The characters are interesting, and the jokes are genuinely funny -- especially those in the "Luigi who?" vein. The plot is so loony you can't help but like it. Superstar Saga is an enjoyable romp through yet another facet of the Mario Bros. world that manages to be unlike any other game -- Mario or otherwise -- that came before.
