I love how Bowser is a one-dimensional character when playing the villain, but one of the most complex characters when he plays the hero.

[@abelsuperstar100]

He’s probably as complex as a villain, we just don’t see it, maybe his minions, that could be a reason why they like serving him so much.

[@kieranstark7213]

Overly unpopular opinion: Bowser was way more complex (or just any complementary word in general) when played as a hero in Super Paper Mario than Bowser’s Inside Story because at least in the former; he stayed the good guy the whole time rather than threatened to kidnap Princess Peach before fighting the Mario Bros. at the end of BiS, so even though it’s well-liked, I have to admit, the ending in Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story makes it less than flawless, despite how well-crafted it turned out overall!

@@abelsuperstar100 We do see it but, only in the rpg games. In mario rpg he runs into a goomba that fled from his army during an attack on smithy to run a shop and start a family and he forgave him, he also forgave a magic koopa that was a boss battle(he was captured by smithy and brainwashed), in paper mario, one of the times in peach's side the minions were having a gameshow and bowswer came in and was hey you guys having a gameshow? I want to join! Color Splash happened because bowser saw the color fountains and wanted to paint his shell rainbow colored but mixing the paint turned it into an evil mindcontrolling ooze.

I‘m pretty sure that’s just a Paper Mario thing. The mobile version of Dr Mario has a „Dr Goomba Tower“ for Christ‘s sake.

Bowser's Inside Story is kind of the game that taught me how to read. No, seriously! I remember getting it when I was, like, six- and not being able to read it, my dad had to sit by me to read it for me. But I had to wait for him- He wasn't always available because he works during the week. But Bowser's Inside Story was just too good! I wanted to play it *now!* So I remember tugging on my mom's shirt, nearly begging her "Moooom! How do I read?!" So she taught me while I played. And I remember reading Dark Bowser's speech at the end perfectly to my dad because I thought it was so cool. I mean, I _probably_ would have learned how to read eventually, with or without Bowser's Inside Story... But still. I'll never forget this game.

Yo don't you undermine Bowser finally getting his own Cake at the ending: that's a fuckin' tearjerker ending when you think of all the years Bowser has LOST. Also as an artist I can explain why Bowser in the remake looks godawful compared to the original game: - First and foremost, during battle, he's standing perfectly straight facing to the side, as opposed to an angled view to look at them beautiful features - The color of his mussel is more of a fleshy tan as opposed to a matching yellow tint of his stomach. It's also a bit smaller, which make his teeth look sharper and scarier - His head and limbs are lazily animated, to the point where his head almost never turns, and his arms flail awkwardly while walking in battle - His eyes are not NEARLY as expressive and are always angry. Multiple animation pros have said "it's all in the eyes" so this is a big deal I studied this fucker hard solely because of how GOOD he looked in the original. I don't think any Bowser in any video game game past, present or future will ever look so perfect. Same way I feel about Yoshi in Mario Party 2. 4K HD don't matter with them lovable polygons.

This game is actually kind of replayable in my eyes. I started playing this game again recently and mind you when I first played this it was when it first came out for DS. Playing it again I forgot a lot of the quirky fun moments in the game as well as the amazing fight near the end. I got to re-live learning about this game and I'm happy I did.

[@brya9681]

not to me. The gimmick mini games are a crazy difficulty spike which ruins any interest in me playing it again. Which is shame since the core gameplay is great. Just all the other stuff is terrible.

Bowser's Inside Story stands today as my favorite game of all time. When I was a young laddy with my DS, this game taught me what video games could really be, and that's before I knew about how it was essentially a finale to the Fawful saga, and a perfect one at that. I've beaten it so many times dude, it's just perfection, and the title theme never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Hell, a tear was shed as I'm typing this because it brought back the memories of a simpler time.

It’s actually interesting to know that Mario and Luigi are the grown up versions of the babies from Partners in Time when you find the Shroobs meaning we’re continuing the Mario and Luigi Series from their perspective of things.

Something interesting about the remake is that some of the endgame fights have different music with them. Dark Star got it's own unique theme, and when you fight Fawful as Bowser it's a slowed down version of Cackletta's Theme which is a really nice touch!

[@theluiginoidperson1097]

Never played the remake, hold on gotta go listen to this.

[@reydesonic]

Dark Star Battle in particular is an amazingly good listen. That said, I really don't want to talk too bad about Yoko but... That remade soundtrack is not as good. It's not the fact that it's synthesized because Dream Team and Paper Jam have beautiful music, especially Dream Team. But BiS+BM had... Some downgrades in soundtrack imo. It's not that the tracks themselves are bad, but they don't have... Good mixing? Toad Town and the Boss Theme are the two best examples, wind instruments sound way too flat but the melody itself isn't too bad. Idk it leaves me really mixed since the original stuff is amazing (bowser jr. Journey's battle and boss battle themes are freaking amazing, same joes to Bowser's Minions as well)

[@antimatter3084]

@@reydesonic Honestly, it depends on the track whether it sounds better or worse than the ds version. Deep Castle, the giant, and Capri Cape sound great on the 3DS while stuff like Deep Castle(Inside Bowser), the boss theme, and even In the Final in a way have a sort of uncanny quality to them which is a shame since I thought the og tracks knocked out of the park.

[@Zanytiger6]

The change to the cover art is likely to keep the brothers more “on-model” I hate that Nintendo refuses any changes at all be made to Mario.

[@ShyGuyXXL]

Especially since there are already some other changes to the style. Like how the bros are drawn without irises in their eyes. I don't get it. Do they think these slight differences would hurt their brand or something? Or would make the Mario bros less recognizable? It's honestly baffling.

[@SomeAustrianGuy_]

One of my all time favourite games. The sheer amount of nostalgic memories I have with this game is astounding. I grew up with the game. And let me tell you, I spent AGES on the final boss just because I wasn't very good at sucking things in. I remember nearly beating him but I had to go to bed, so I shut my DS so I could finish him tomorrow. Well f*ck me the game froze and I had to do it all again. But let me tell you, the final boss theme. Hot damn it's still one of my all time favourite pieces of music. I liked that they remixed it a little in the remake, I really do, but you can't make something better that's already perfect. Overall, I love both the original and the remake. Both have their fair share of pros and cons. I could go on and on about how good the bosses are, or how much I liked the giant fights. But that would take ages. So for closure, to everyone reading this that hasn't played the game yet, what you waiting for? Go get it, it's definitely worth it.
