THIS the Shroobs are terrifying and could corrupt Mushroom Kingdom species in a parasitic non-mind controllable way.

Besides how kind of dark and dreary it got at points, this game also has some of the weirdest and got past the censors moments in a Mario game ever. I mean, that Wiggler enemy was drinking Toad lifeforce that is being converted into fuel within its belly. And the Shroobs have stuck a straw up its ass in order to get the fuel out of it. It's really weird when you think about it. ...also, Mario and friends get shat out of that evil Yoshi's butt when they escape.

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

Considering World 3-4 in Yoshi's Island, i'd say Baby Mario has a history of getting shat out of things...

As a child, that plot completely blew my mind and I loved stuff like that ever since. Also, the Thwomp Volcano background music is mega fire, and for me it's a memorable zone because it's one of the few places that doesn't have much Shroob corruption, yet it's still dangerous like a jungle/ancient civilization kinda deal.

[@roflmywaffles1313]

Thats really weird, I'm still very very young, but since PiT was my first ever Mario & Luigi game and one of the first games I've ever played, I guess I either didn't understand it, or the dark themes helped me grow up in some ways.

Partners in Time was actually the first Mario & Luigi game I played, so from that perspective, I mainly have positive feelings with this game. When not compared as a sequel, I think it's just a solid and creative game! I remember being excited for boss fights and being excited to see what would happen to certain characters throughout the game. But the plot does raise a few questions, namely... am I to believe that if time travel never existed, the Mario Bros. would have died as babies? Either way, thanks for giving the game a look, AntDude! You're right; this game IS often overlooked, so it's nice to see more people talking about it. =)

Landis. But think about it. If the Shroobs from the past somehow killed the baby Mario Bros. & other young characters from the past, shouldn't the adult versions in the future not been around?

It's amazing how the time-traveling aspect is completely wasted in this game. The present is nothing more than a hub world and you can't even go outside the castle. There's a bit in Star Hill where you fight a mimic enemy that straights up turns into Bowser, as in modern-day Bowser with no explanation.

[@heavydonkeykong5190]

What if a potential remake were to have a "part 2" where the Shroob Princess survives and escapes to the present, and begins trying to corrupt other characters with the Mushrooms? The fight with the possessed Bowser could come at the end of that part rather than right after the final battle in the past. I'm not entirely sure how that would end up working, but it's an idea that popped into my mind.

Well until Paper Jam came out atleast. Although I'd argue that I enjoyed Paper Jam more mechanically speaking but that's my opinion.

[@heavydonkeykong5190]

Paper Jam is one of my favorites in terms of gameplay. My only real problem with it was I thought the story didn't utilize the concept to its full potential. I wish we had gotten more Paper Mario characters and bosses to give it even more of a crossover feel. I love all of the games, but I personally think Superstar Saga is the "weakest" just because I feel that the others built upon it. Dream Team is probably my favorite overall I think, but I feel like the quality of the series is fairly consistent for the most part.

[@BrerOswald]

Paper Jam is straight up mediocre. Few M&L fans like it.

[@woobgamer5210]

Paper Jam is a god awful game with little charm, and so many glitches that it would make Sonic Boom surprised. PiT is definitely not the worst. and... ngl, Dream Team was just.. something. The art style change really hurt the charm the series had because you can't percieve their actions when talking better.

[@woobgamer5210]

also Paper Jam came out not long after the abortion that is Sticker Star, you know, the game that killed the Paper Mario franchise. Yeah... Paper Jam was just a lame attempt to revive its lost relevance by having a game collab with it..

[@SomeAndroid]

Partners in time or the first one is probably my favourite game in the series. I liked the baby brothers, and using the four buttons for special attacks and such. The partner attacks felt pretty good too nail. I also enjoyed the Princess Shroob as a villain. The first one was just a really fresh game with some great writing and characters. The bean kingdom made for a good setting.

Healmore The saddest part is we’ll never get a Mario & Luigi game with Wario and his Wario Land context sensitive invulnerability powers like being set on fire and burning everything he runs into, getting a head so swollen from bee sting allergies that it freaking floats above the stage until it hits the ceiling and leaks out air, becoming a *FREAKING* *ZOMBIE* being flattened like a pancake allowing him to slowly flutter down long crevices with tiny openings into caves, etc., etc. They could have even added Waluigi and given him sports attacks, maybe even have him face off against one of Wario Land’s few reoccurring bosses, the sports rabbit.

[@newageBoundhippie]

the real saddest part is that one of their best games never left Japan...Tomato Adventure was a fun & hilarious RPG that actually led to them making Superstar Saga, and the only way to play it outside Japan is either track down an import copy or download the ROM for a GBA emulator :/ also why did we get a crossover with Paper Mario ( which from what I've been hearing shares some of the same story & character issues that the awful last 2 Paper Mario games have ) and a random remake of Bowser's Inside Story that feels more like a slightly better looking remaster than a remake instead of another 4 character entry with the other 2 being either Wario & Waluigi or Peach & Daisy? Both of those ideas had so much potential.... :/

antdude, I think that the reason why the game feel ''under cook'' is because alphadream had not the nintendo ds dev kits and were obligated to make one with 2 gba screens and a super nintendo controller, so they could not integrate too many thing that really use the ds. You talked about the fact that we use the touch screen only one time in the game and I think that it is beacause near the end, they had some dev kits ^^''. That could maybe not be the real reason why it is like that, but I think that a good answer :D

I don't really think the hidden Shroob fight properly indicated that the Mario Bros in BiS are the baby bros from PiT. I think it was more so referring to when the adult bros teamed up with their younger selves to combat the Shroobs. In other words, the Mario Bros in later games were not the babies continuing the series.

As much as an underrated gem (especially by TheTopTens) as Partners in Time is, the only real fault it has is that while it does have a story so amazingly atmospheric all hell broke loose, some characters can be out of character. Princess Peach (both the adult and baby versions) were annoying because they were damsels in distress and even Adult Luigi, one of my favourite characters in the franchise had his out of character moments here like when he scared the Mario Bros. by raging at them when they (along with Adult Mario) landed down the Gritzy Caverns (Gritzy is part of why PIT deserves much better).

I know it's minority opinion but I enjoyed it slightly more than Superstar Saga or even the original Mario RPG, and it's DEFINITELY better than the last 2 Paper Mario games for example.

[@timothysmith8341]

There's 2 reasons why I love this game so much: it was my first Mario and Luigi game, and the humor is just spot on. I don't think I laughed harder at any other game when I was 13 than this one. And the babies are just too cute for words

[@leeeroyjenkins555]

@Kanashimi I pity the fool.

[@smeleleh7995]

I’m indifferent to Stuffwell. He’s not as bad as people say. But Starlow was 50 TIMES WORSE! Starlow interrupts you so many times every 10 seconds over things she already told you. SHE NEVER SHUTS UP. At least with Stuffwell it can actually go hours without talking. Entirety of Gritzy Desert. Didn’t say a word. Starlow however is a living hell to cooperate with. Yeah I’ll take Stuffwell over Starlow any day.

[@Gamer_27yt]

Ah yes, the game that got shafted from a remake in the dead light of the 3DS.

[@abyss1315]

Nah it was skipped due to poor sales and AlphaDream was going bankrupt, so they remade BIS for the money due to the higher sales but even then, the 3DS was dying so AlphaDream went bankrupt sadly

[@Megapig9001]

Abyss Also Inside Story was easier to remake since they already had the 2D aspects and Giant Battles

Better, we could get a actually good remake in future

[@alliesangalli1757]

The gameplay criticisms are all very accurate, which I think adds to the story being what makes this game stand out. It's not a dark game overall. It's a silly game with a lot of surprisingly dark elements. It's still a funny Mario game with goofy enemies, but it also has you travel through multiple ghost towns where the toads were either killed or abducted to have their life force drained. That juxtaposition always made this game stand out for me.

[@CeHee123]

The final boss from this game will always be one of my favourite moments in any Mario game. I'm still annoyed we might never get a remake of this game.

Wow didn't think this comment would get replies, (spoiler) if you notice in Bowser's inside story, the Mario and Luigi in that game are the babies from partners in time confirmed during the shroob battle in Bowser's inside story, but Fawful was in the adult world of peach's castle down in the sewers in partners in time

I remember liking this game a lot as a kid, I played several times and I remember really enjoying everything this had to offer despite the “darkness” of the game! Listening to your review just make my brain go full child mode and insist that that game was amazing anyway! But more seriously, I realize that the nostalgia factor plays a big part in me liking the game, you’re pointing out things that I would have never thought to question as a kid

[@the-random-phan]

5:16 Always gotta have self care (even if its for a younger version of yourself)

[@supercyclone8342]

Superstars Saga was my first Mario game period, so I was glad to see it hold up so well when not looked at through nostalgia glasses. This however, hurt. My second Mario and Luigi game that I always wanted as a kid, but didn't play until a few years ago on virtual console. I love this game, but I have to agree with most of the criticism. It's darker, harder, and quiet memorable (to me at least), but it just doesn't hold up in retrospect (especially how dragged out a lot of it is).

1:56 If you were able would you go change the past and a faux pas with one last chance? And I might know all of our future, but then you'd still control the past. Only you know if you'll be together. Only you know if we shall last. Cause every night I will save your life, and every night I will be with you, cause every night I still lay awake and I dream of an absolution. Wrong franchise I know, but every time I think of video game time travel that song pops into my head. The soundtrack was literally the only good thing from Sonic 06, and any opportunity to quote Silver's theme is good.

But, his attacks hurt like a mother's. But remember, he can't hurt you. So, give us a remake of Partners In Time already, Nintendo!

[@Dafaillord]

@DarkCoreX Ah i see. I understand how it can work like that. I didn't know that it got so much more attention now then before because of it not having a Remake. You can call me a fanboy but i became a fan of this one because of how it resonated with me. i played bowser inside and dream team. But partners in time was the one i would play multiple times over because of the reasons i mentioned before. That one was more memorable to me. This was before the remake's came. Meaby some nostalgia on my part but it is what it is. But which one is your favorite then?

AAAH, this game! One of many contributors in my childhood to my obsession with freaky monster designs!

[@keirjarvie6998]

I don’t know about you, but I feel that the Shroobs are in very similar to the Daleks from Doctor Who. They are a race of aliens that hate everything else in the universe and sees them as impure and continuously seek universal. Plus, they also have a battle cry that consists of a word. For the Daleks, it’s “EXTERMINATE”. For the Shroobs, it’s “DESTROY”. So the time hole loading screen ain’t the only Doctor Who reference in Mario and Luigi Partners in Time.
