DESCRIPTION
With a visual style and gameplay inspired by Paper Mario on Nintendo 64, Mario & Luigi teams up the Italian plumbers for an epic adventure outside the familiar confines of the Mushroom Kingdom. A witch has abducted Princess Peach from the claws of Bowser and has taken her to a neighboring realm, which angers Bowser so much he agrees to join the brothers to rescue her. Things do not go as smoothly as planned, however, when the ship carrying the trio crashes and sends the characters in different directions. Mario and Luigi were fortunate enough to stick close to each other, and vow to continue the mission with or without Bowser.
Players will be able to control either character separately or together as a team while confronting enemies, using moves such as the leapfrog, where Mario pushes against Luigi's back like a springboard for more powerful jumps. Battles take place in real time, often requiring the same techniques found in the original Super Mario games, except characters earn experience points instead of a high score. Both Mario and Luigi can also find and use various items in battle, as well as solve puzzles together using their combined talents. Players will meet up with familiar characters as well as few new faces during their journey, which ultimately leads to the witch's foreboding castle. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“First game in the series and one of my favourite games, one of the best the system has to offer.
+ Battle system. Yes, it's turn based and no, it isn't dull. How this is possible? Easy: attacks are interactive, offering rewards for good execution and you can react to the hostile attacks, evading or even countering them. On top of that you also have some over the top special moves with alternative versions unlocked through execution.
+ Despite most of the story being a McGuffin chase, it is done very well and humorous. Cackletta and Fawful might very well be some of the best villains I've faced in a game.
+ Execution. Graphics, music, minigames, hidden content... everything is top notch.
+ The final boss is awesome. While nothing unexpected it is simply a very good fight, fun and challenging at the same time.
+ Beans/Coffeeshop, extra hidden special attacks, funny sidequests, etc. Lot's of good stuff beside the main storyline.
+ While it might seem as if there's little to no replayability... the game is witty and the battle system is just that good. I've played it from beginning to end multiple times, enjoying it every time ('cept the cart minigame, that was kinda less fun on later playthroughs :D)
- Uhmm... I don't really have any negative points. Some stuff that might be negative for others: the game totals at some 20+ hours which some might find a bit short for an RPG. It's also pretty linear and there aren't a lot of sidequests.
You've got a GBA or NDS? Get this game. It won't disappoint.”

“I didn't play a Mario styled RPG since Mario RPG and I bought this game on a whim. I was very pleased, this game was an all around good experience latching to the mechanic that made Mario RPG so successful, timed button press combat. This series has come a long way as well, riding that mechanic better and better with each newer story.
Pick this up, play the next two, follow this series, it's incredible.”

“This game is a must buy, if only because it features Fawful... who is prolly _the_ best Mario villain to ever appear in a game (and yes, I am including Exor here). I love Fawful.”
