I definitely think everything post-Zokket's a step down from the rest of the game A bunch of revisiting previous islands on fetch quests with no new areas, and Reclusa is WAAAAAAY to on the nose with his philosophy (like, there's not even a hint of subtly to how he words his "bonds are bad" philosophy unlike Zokket) He's also literally there for like, only a few hours. At least enemies like the Shroobs and Dimentio had good chunks of the game to demonstrate how vile they are, Reclusa's just all talk with his previous conquests

This isn’t my favorite game among them, but it has some of the highest highs and lowest lows. So I think it’s worth seeing to the end for people who like Mario RPGs, even if it does take a long time.

Gotta agree with Brent on the music choices here. Like, if you want to use the mid boss theme for Bowser's first fight, fine but it's a little disappointing that his Glohm variant doesn't get something cool. What's even more lame is that Zokket, the main villain between Desolatt and when you fight him, just gets the lighthouse boss theme, a theme I like but very unfitting for this moment. Then there's Reclusa. His theme is fine, it gets the job done but with the bar so high, in general it leaves a lot more to be desired. Bear in mind, this isn't a dig at the entire soundtrack. I'm not some Yoko fanboy who can't stand this ost. There are just some music decisions I disagree with when it comes to bosses in the final chunk of the game.

I don't hold that TOO much with M&L considering all the previous games usually do that, but when we compare it to other games like the TTYD remake and it's plethora of tracks, it makes sense why one feels that way. My true issue is that besides the regular boss battle themes, the majority of the tracks are dull/forgettable, twistee island is genuinely one of the best M&L tracks of all time and I think the disco place and shipshape island have good themes too but everything else doesn't feel memorable in the slightest...

First off, Thank you for a great year of content Brent, your playthrough's this year have been fun to see. especially seeing how happy TTYD Remake made you with it's positive changes as it was the first time I played the game. now for my Brothership thoughts Reclusa might be the most mixed thing in this game, I have seen people who absolutely love how insane he is and all the messed up stuff he does, because like if you're stuck in that flower in your happy place you're gonna starve to death. but also people who don't like him since his antics just aren't for some others and it's a drag to get to him, also the boss song for him isn't as godlike as the other 5 in the series. But yeah regardless of if I liked him or not (which I did) this game was a really fun time for me, my first time playing a brand new Mario RPG on release day. for me the characters in this game are like Geno and Mallow in RPG or basically everyone in TTYD, I grew to love the characters so much that I didn't want to say goodbye to them, making me really emotional at the end of the game, it's like that for this game (especially with IDLE because I can see my friend group as the wannabe heroes with Ginyu Force poses). Snoutlet is now my second favourite partner in the series now behind Dreambert (not a fan of Starlow shit talking Luigi in the last games and this game, she doesn't even call him by his name sometimes she just says "Mario's Brother" or "That Other Guy" IN FRONT OF HIM). For their first outing with this series I feel like the new developers got a lot right and made a worthy title in the series, only wishes for the next game is better pacing and more original boss songs.

I generally do love Reclusa, he's an insane childish person who cares for no one. I personally found his fight more fun than Cackletta, Elder Princess Shroob and shiny robobowser [for my own reasons] even if he isn't the hardest i just think what dragged him down is two things, lack of attacks and lack of durabilty. He does have a lot of attacks through all 4 phases but seperately it doesn't feel like it. in phase 1 he just summons enemies to attack you as you chase him, in phase 2 he has 3 attacks, throwing giant fire boulders, swiping his arm, and ice crystals. in phase 3 he has a spinning spike attack and a ramming roll attack and in phase 4 he has the combo attack and the clone attack with gaining a temper tantrum throwing attacking at half HP. Thats a lot of attacks. More than any other Final Boss has ever had, but they are all seperated. if each phase had more attacks that which also demand a bit more from you it would have felt better What i mean by Durability is he doens't have anything to really keep himself alive. his HP count in the last 2 phases don't pass 10k, he has no healing move nor a shielding move. the weeping core is technically his shield but acts more like a phase that loses two attacks once broken. tie all of this to you doing almost or over 2k dmg per bro each turn So yeah, Reclusa really needed more to his fight. but despite that i think his fight is still fun, his character is great and visually is the best final boss in the series.

What Weeping Core does it if you use any attacks against him too much, (1 one for the shells, two for any other attack) he’ll have fully analyzed it and the damage of said move will be greatly decreased, and even carry over to the Reclusa phase, albeit not as much damage reduction, but still, and the hammer or Green Shell or Clockout Blow won’t do anything to Reclusa since he floats, so those attacks won’t matter if he analyzed them in the previous phase.

Superstar Saga's final boss is more focused on fighting Cackletta's soul rather than Bowletta. Yes, there is a phase 1 against Bowletta, but it is shorter and the final battle is more focused on the second phase against the soul of Cackletta herself where her design has really nothing to do with Bowser. I haven't played Partners in Time myself but I do know the whole final boss situation there, it makes complete sense to me that Elder Princess Shroob is considered to be the final boss by most people as it was clearly designed and presented as the climactic final battle of the game, where I think Shrowser is moreso meant to be one last surprise with the only dodging/countering gimmick. Again, haven't played the game myself so I could be missing something but that's just my take based on what I know. With Bowser's Inside Story, the final boss being Dark Bowser isn't wrong, but remember that that's quite literally only half the battle. Mario and Luigi have their final battle with Fawful fused with the dark star core, and the fight is won upon defeating that rather than Dark Bowser (there is Bowser's final attack against Dark Bowser at the end but that's the same idea as the final hammer strikes against Reclusa, you essentially already won at that point in both cases). With Dream Team and Paper Jam, that's just true, it's just Bowser. From a purely gameplay perspective, I do personally agree Reclusa is the weakest of the final bosses in the series (that I've played). I still really liked the fight and I struggled a bit because I wasn't using any battle plugs, but even then Reclusa has fewer and generally simpler attacks and doesn't really have a whole lot of health compared to the other final bosses (other than maybe Cackletta's soul) while the amount of damage you can do with bros attacks and decent gear equipped is pretty crazy.

@@WoomyKirby i’m just making a joke here, man. i’m a fan of the series. it’s just nice to have some variety in the final bosses. also, if i really wanted to S T R E T C H you technically see the “phase 1” of the superstar saga and bowser’s inside story final bosses die AFTER you take out the “core” so boswer is technically the final boss for both of those games can’t make a joke without people trying to make life more complicated

@someperson7491 didn't realize it was a joke, that's kinda on me, i just assumed given the general discourse I've been seeing surrounding this particular final boss lmao. It was nice to see Bowser wasn't a part of the final boss in this game though. Tbh I kinda just put my thoughts and reasons behind them somewhere mostly because I felt like it i guess idk

@ I side eye people who use wait-a-minute as well, but at least that requires a modicum of skill to achieve its full effectiveness rather than protectus. Unless they’re using auto-excellent, then I really do have issues. All of which I usually keep to myself, though. People can play the game how they want to, I’ve got no right to attack them over that, I just don’t like it when people go “oh that boss was easy” or “oh I’m so good at this game” when they’re spamming “instant win plugs”

I was kinda scared this was gonna be an "only REAL GAMERS beat this Mario game without plugs they give you" but I think it's totally fair to only pull out something like that when they're actively verbally dunking on Reclusa while they have Protectus on.

I feel so stupid. I didn't even think about burning strats for the enemy at 19:14. I just ended up raw dogging that fight with Bros. Attacks and syrups. I really hope this was enough to save the Mario and Luigi series and it gets more games. Like if I played this as a kid it would've probably gave me some kind of early trauma. Especially the bit when Mario and Luigi are trapped in the fake world and you just see their bodies in the flowers motionless. Idk how hot of a take this is, but in my rankings its definitely number 1. It could just be recency bias, but it really did take all the things I loved from SS and BIS and combined them into this awesomeness. The battle plugs were a bit broken, but they were super fun to use and the final boss was super cool too. I also loved all the references to past games as well. The only real complaint I have is that it goes on a bit long, but its a new game in the series in 9 years so I can forgive it. I just want them to take this momentum and keep it going.

In my opinion, I think Reclusa is a very underrated villain compared to the rest of the series. While he's not as cool as Cackletta or Antasma, he still had a dark scheme to turn everyone into mindless zombies trapped in their own fantasy land while he rules the world alone. Also, his boss theme is fine, regarding how it was the music director from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon who did it. They did a good job, and maybe Yoko will return to help cook more iconic themes, but I enjoyed em a lot. The ending is probably the most climactic after everything, because usually its just "yeah, we beat a form of Bowser, everyone is happy now." While this youre saying goodbye to all the fun and interesting NPCs from this world, so it was very emotional seeing us leave Connie and Snoutlet. I loved this game all the way through. I had very little complaints besides the Mushroom Kingdom dream dragging on for too long. Very charming with great character designs, personality, action, humor, and charm. Everything showing that AlphaDream never lost its touch after all these years.
