I think Dream Team is one title that might need a re-release or something similar. But, the only change I personally like is the option to turn off tilt controls. It's fun. But since it is required for many fights - as soon as you put the game in sleep mode, you are cooked until you reset the game or somehow recalibrated the gyro-sensor.

This game was really good at making me think it was the end despite knowing that many things were left unresolved. Happened to me three times😂

26:08 one small detail i loved was that the brothers walking animation is 1:1 with the animation from the 3ds era games

I noticed that Luigi's bros attacks were more oriented towards damaging a bunch if enemies a good deal while Mario's were more oriented towards big big damage against a single enemy

The pacing of the story was fine for me in general. But the issue for me with it was the general start of mario and Luigi games being drawn out a bit. It took a while to get the first bros attack for the brothers. It felt a little too long before getting it as one example.

13:16 partners in time had them be bought st stores as consumable items. Kt was very unique

I finished the game a few hours ago, and I have to say: IT. WAS. AWESOME!!!

I think people hate the IGN review because it gave a game that needed the best chance of reviving this series, so seeing a 5/10 for a game that should be at least in the sevens if you’re being unbiased, yeah it is pretty bad, especially when I’ve heard people who were almost scared off by it being one of the earliest well known reviews of this game.

27:00 honestly I disagree with this idea. I felt like Superstar Saga had a lot of difficulty compared to the 3DS remake. Idk if it was the hardware limitation or the quality of life changes, but the 3DS version gave you the double jumps, the charged hammer swings, etc. I felt like you were dealing excessive damage and that made you blast through the game

Although I never played the game, this is, without a doubt, one of my favorite Mario games that i watched gameplay of. I've seen so many complete playthroughs that i know so much about its writing and funny jokes that i just need to mention two very specific instances of this game's very unique comedy and attention to detail. I kid you not, i think that this is my favorite Mario and Luigi game just from the writing. One of those instances is the test that the fake Lady Lima does to prove ourselves as the real Mario Bros and that is fixing Beanbean Castle' plumbing system. This thing is so funny to me because not only does plumbing make Mario and Luigi more know that the various other occupations that they had over the years but also because, if you think about it, this was the first of only FOUR times in the entire series where we saw them actually doing their main job instead of it just being a trademark: the other three are the intro of 3D World, the movie and more recently Brothership. I just warms my heart to see moments like this Another one of those hilarious scenes is the meeting in the Beanbean Castle after you discover that Bowser's Castle is attacking the town, wich reveals just how much experience the Bros have. Here, when wondering how to access the castle, Mario admits that they know so much about that place that they know how to access the throne room from the bathroom. I repeat: ACCESS THE THRONE ROOM FROM THE BATHROOM. I don't need to say anything anymore.

I am shocked you never talked about the change where Magikoopas can now be told apart from kamek by their new color scheme!

The main thing that baffles me with the reviews for this game are the people saying the story is lacking or generic. Theres a lot of characters who have actual character development, back stories, and make complex decisions. Then theres also the ending which is debatably the best ending to a Mario game ever. It’s also like people forget the last original entry in this series Paper Jam and had probably the most cookie cutter Mario plot possible.

Great review

FINALLY A POSITIVE REVIEW.

but who are the names behind alphadream? perhaps names from alphadream went to acquire or even were already there

absolutely insane how you don't even mention Bowser's Inside Story was ALREADY PLAYABLE ON THE 3DS

Love this game, ofc the game comes with its flaws, but i do enjoy what they were going for hope Aquire learns from this game and improve on it for future titles

What are your thoughts on the soundtrack? I've heard some people compare it to Yoko Shimomura's work on the previous games, saying it wasn't as good.
