The First Time Mario and Luigi Experience

It is time for a brand new series (yet again) this time involving the great Mario and Luigi series that I never played when I was younger, that's Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga to be precise.
This video was edited by @LumpkinBoi
NEW OUTRO! WOAH! Animation made ofc by @Football_Head2 on Twitter. No more Persona 4 I'll Face Myself Remix because I think this song represents me better at this point. (wait it was supposed to be deep? I'll just let you interpret it how you want)
New song is "The Weight of Life" from Xenoblade 3. It's a good video game :)

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

"This is a basic jump" and proceeds to miss many times...classic Sophist underestimating. So Stache gives you better chances at getting a Lucky or Critical hit in battle, doubling the damage of your attacks. In Superstar Saga, it gives discounts to items bought at shops (down to half their usual price), and lets you sell items at higher prices!

Bean lore: A bean is the seed of several plants in the family Fabaceae, which are used as vegetables for human or animal food. They can be cooked in many different ways, including boiling, frying, and baking, and are used in many traditional dishes throughout the world. The word "bean" and its Germanic cognates (e.g. German Bohne) have existed in common use in West Germanic languages since before the 12th century, referring to broad beans, chickpeas, and other pod-borne seeds. This was long before the New World genus Phaseolus was known in Europe. After Columbian-era contact between Europe and the Americas, use of the word was extended to pod-borne seeds of Phaseolus, such as the common bean and the runner bean

I do concur that you are c correct dear sir.

[@mocharoll3486]

I can physically feel the editor's pain throughout the video, I love it

[@carlosenrique2445]

Stache (Horn for Bowser) is a unique statistic in the Mario & Luigi RPG series, similar to Luck in other RPGs. It usually gives Mario, Luigi, Bowser, or Paper Mario better chances at getting a "Critical" or "Lucky" hit in battle, doubling the damage of their attacks.

[@tjdasdada3786]

Does it decrease shop prices in this game or is that in the ds games only

[@NewSoupWiiHii]

@@tjdasdada3786 it does decrease the prices

[@josephconover5270]

It decreases prices in Superstar Saga and Partners in Time. Bowser's Inside Story has a scratch ticket.

[@Joonysuke]

Oh gosh... I haven't even started the video, but I know if Brent can run through the game mad easy because he's played it before, I can expect a Certified Sophist Experience™ from this video. EDIT: Yup. Exactly what I expected.

[@TigaraChan]

Sophist is getting pretty lucky with his attacks. It's almost as if his stache stat was high or something.

[@calixthenustv6739]

Brent: goes straight to the point in his playthroughs bc he already played this game a million times Sophist: plays it for the first time, resulting in a bunch of Sophist tomfoolery (which is highly optimal for viewer retention) Edit: 19:35 Oh no, he ran to his demise without even knowing it, we love to see it

[@aereonexapprentice7205]

I love how Sophist tells us to comment whether what he's doing in this video is bad or not, while already recording him going ahead with the game and his poor choices. It's like watching a man in the distance run at Mach 5 towards a cliff and you see a paper beside you that says "warn me if there's a dangerous cliff ahead!"

[@127mfan]

Stache improves luck for crits, and helps buy and sell things for better prices. Overall, it's a very Sophist decision to choose, lol. Edit: Brent is probably cringing watching this video.

[@byrontheusurper6505]

[@06Deluxe16]

Glad I wasn’t the only one struggling badly with this game 😅 but I’ve got a lot better as it’s my first time Also for the bonuses: HP and Defence are pointless unless you get hit by literally everything, probably pick power most of the time it’s the most useful, BP is good if you use Bro attacks a lot, speed isn’t really needed but you’ll need enough for the final boss, stache is ok it just increases your chances of getting ‘lucky’ in your attacks but it only works on normal attacks

You know this game is amazing if you, Brent and Choc are all making video's on it at the same time. also some helpful advice, not even Little Timmy talk here. you don't even have to use the lower modes to practise the timing of the bros attacks, just use the rewind feature lol.

stache is actually a pretty cool stat to focus on! The more you have, the higher chance you have to land a “lucky” hit at random (which gives you more damage) and the lower prices are ar shops. So its kinda perfect for you and a good stat/bit to commit to.

[@pocketwhale1238]

stache in most of the mario and luigi games is your crit chance but in superstar saga and partners in time it gives you a discount in shops

Alrighty guys line up and tell me all about what stache does, I'll have you know that in my playthrough I've already got stache as my highest stat on both Mario and Luigi because it's clearly the best.
