Were Mario and Luigi Games REALLY That Good?

[@rayseeklo]

Some things were wrong in the Partners in Time section. First, it wasn’t the younger Princess Shroob who was trapped in the Cobalt Star, it was her older sister, Elder Princess Shroob. And it wasn’t who ate the Shroob mushroom, it was Bowser.

@@StrawHatMidas The same people (looking at you, Gligar13Vids! I know he was an infamous troll of a reviewer who pretty much gave up KZbin, but still) who think the remakes are “objectively” better than the original Superstar Saga (they’re probably Minion Quest simps who would rather have their time consumed by the execution of the side quest than watch the objective best Super Mario movie and its anticipating sequel coming in early 2026 compared to the one with Prince Haru and the live-action adaptation… they would even tell us that we like most Super Mario games better than the New Super Mario Bros. sequels, New Super Mario Bros. U. Deluxe in particular, because of nostalgia. Even if it’s unsurprisingly not the most original thing in the world since everything great we saw in the main game we saw at first in the original, they could’ve just played the “improved” version of the main game to find improvements over the original, like, the soundtrack is about as good as ever because it sounds more like its own version of the original soundtrack than M&LBIS+BJJ. I guess they could do that, I guess they could prefer the remake over the original by finding technical improvements without bashing the spritework/graphics and just the presentation and gameplay like they do with other GBA/DS titles in general with the “nostalgia” card) & Bowser’s Inside Story (could you believe even the DS version has the slightest bit of haters that think nobody likes this game just to justify the existence of a 3DS remake? Again, they can prefer the 3DS remakes of the originals all they want, it’s all a matter of opinion, but me, while perhaps I can respect the remakes for improving over the nitpicks the original has to offer like the microphone gimmick of Fawful’s Express in BIS for the DS, they feel like the same games as the original but could’ve had the opinion to either experience it like they are as late 2010s 3DS game remakes or put in the option to make them have the graphical style and music of the originals in terms of their graphics and music) I mean, it’s their opinion if they say that, but they treat it like a fact that remakes are better than the originals and that people who like the original are blinded by nostalgia by justifying their flaws and that the remakes are not unoriginal or worse in any way, especially when it comes to Hollywood/Disney, but I digress) are the same people who would force us to like Sticker Star over its predecessors (Arlo and others even spoke out against the vocal minority of people who hate the original Paper Mario, The Thousand Year Door especially, their HD remakes and yes, even Super Paper Mario which because of the newer Paper Mario games seems to be getting much better appreciation as well) using the same “nostalgia/stop treating the 2000s like it was anything special” and “you haven’t played the newer games” argument.

[@bluekirby_64]

When you think about it, the only M&L games that are "universally" liked are Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story. All of the others have aspects that make them less popular among the fanbase for different reasons: the darker story and linearity of PiT, the pacing and tutorials of DT, the lack of creativity of Paper Jam, or the Original VS Remake debates of the last 2. Yet, the fact that the series has so many fans is proof that despite those complaints, the good still outweighs the bad.

[@GabrylMD]

Never was the biggest fan of BiS personally. I still think SS is the best, and really what the series should strive for. Hell, I'd even say I like aspects of PiT more than BiS. And honestly, a large part of that is how the maps are structured. I HATE the U-shaped world of BiS. Looks like Pokemon Black or Sword and Shield with its obvious shape and Points of Interest. PiT at least has you travel through different linear worlds. And yes, all the games are linear by design. But its more about how obvious it is that I dislike. And nothing has really come quite as close as SS in terms of conveying a strange but interesting world. PiT has a pretty neat idea for time travel and seeing mario-ish locales in a different timeline. BiS is another Mushroom/Bowser Kingdom affair, with a bunch of okay stuff in-between. It's still contained within a Mushroom Kingdom. And just makes the world feel real small. Also never really liked the transition from Bros. Attacks to Bros use items to attack. SS was so snappy with its execution of the bros physicality. And I don't like the items being consumables in PiT. BiS brings back the BP, but still relies on long-form items as the identity of the attack. Instead of the bros being the ones attacking together. And they only really got longer from there. Which is its own problem. But yeah, I've got beef with BiS. I think PiT is a more enjoyable linear experience.

[@the1stchaos839]

Honestly the only remake that had arguments should have been BiS. SS remake improved in almost every metric.

[@QuarrelInsect]

I believe no Mario & Luigi game is outright bad. I agree on good outweighting bad, but rather in an "each game individually has highs and lows" with every game overall being fine at worst. You are free to disagree though. Even Paper Jam (my least favourite M&L) has what's probably the best battle gameplay, and by Mario standards, it's a good game. It's just lackluster in story compared to other M&L games, but I'd still say it's "fine", it's still more creative in gameplay (and debatably story when compared with the New series) than your average Mario game.

[@stellar72402]

@@GabrylMD I agree. BIS is kinda overrated, the bosses felt too light hearted and didnt feel intense at all. The story is just another, ‘villain needs some magic superstar to conquer the world’, and although the final battle music was epic, the final boss felt too easy to the point where the ending of the battle felt anticlimactic.. partners in time actually had a unique story and a more accurate tone towards what theme they were aiming for such as genocide, invasion and loss of hope (reminds of the chimera ant arc from hunter hunter). Superstar saga did better than what BIS did, there’s dramatic turn of events and life threatening situations (and dont even count the, bowser gets squashed, part since he had the mario bros to help him). Overall, i liked SS and PIT more than BIS.

I know I am to this day led by nostalgia bias, BUT Partner in Time will forever be my favorite entry within this series. I remember playing it all the way back when I was like 5-6 and even tho I could barely read at the time, the Shroob invasion just intrigues me so much to this day... such a wild & dystopian plot idea for a children's game. But I loved it so much! Even tho I know of the not so great aspects abt this game which mainly include the low replayability value + the balance flaws, I will forever love it with all of my heart. I am 21 now and I probably replayed it 5 times by now.

[@jerkopaw]

Partner in Time is the greatest game I’ve ever played on my ds. Played it as a kid, pretty sure I beat it but couldn’t remember for sure. Emulators became popular this summer, so first thing I did was download PiT and beat it within a few days. Brought back so much nostalgia, and I enjoyed every single part of it

[@bloodyflesh143]

Also Bowsers inside Story has the best Final Boss music out of all the final Boss Music's in the series.

[@reborn2856]

The Mario&Luigi games have had a great influence on all the RPGs that Nintendo has released after them, sure, but not just that: they had an impact on the RPG genre as a WHOLE, and well outside of it. And the reason i say this is very simple: their interactive combat sistem was straight up the inspiration for the dodging mechanics in Undertale, which is easily one of the most influential games of all time.

[@mubzytv]

PIT would have been the best game to remake on the Switch. It barely used any DS capabilities other than 2 screens (1 was a map, that they can repurpose in the Switch version)

[@chesspunk489]

I own all of the games and beat them except for the newest one. Partners in Time was by far my least favorite. I like Paper Jam over PIT.

It's not fair to the enemies that Mario and Luigi can completely avoid and dodge their attacks, but they can't avoid or dodge their attacks.

I feel like no one talks about how much Paper Jam, Bowser’s Minions, and Bowser Jr’s Journey did for the Koopalings as characters. These might just be their best incarnations as characters.

[@Clayinator]

Superstar Saga, Bowsers Inside-Story, and Partners in Time are some of my favorite RPGS of all time.

[@rukeyburg1084]

I grew up with Partners in Time. It's design lead me to SS which made me love the genre and BIS made it's way to surprise us with playing as Bowser. It was a great time for me as a whole game experience, I even remember bits related to my vacation as small me, and also was really surprised to see BIS. All the other M&L games except Paper Jam had lead me to expect the unexpected. Even though people like new things and BIS being the big surprise of actually playing Bowser and the game itself living up to the hype lead it mostly to succes. As the PiT story still has some plot-twists, especially the ending (could still have goosebumps about it), it always have liked how M&L games could surprise me. It really has set on kind of how true adventures could look like. And ofc we grow up and like to truly rate our past M&L games on technical standpoints, but it's also about (marketing and) experience. M&L games have always been invested in rich stories. But compared to other products, I did love the brutality and world-dying part in Partners in Time. It's almost existential in a time where everything matters, it's a story that's actually quite immersive. It did kind of hurt that not everyone was on board about I thought and loved that game, but over time my belief has changed from + / - / + to ++ / + / ++ PiT holds dear to my heart, but I do reckon to be truthful and honest when rating and comparing. Yes, maybe the level/world design from PiT is linear, but as a story it has a dynamic plot and it holds a massive plot-twist towards the end that could kind of guilt trip you. Partners in time touched me the most, it had me probably the most invested, because of its dark story it felt the most mature, and sometimes feeling mature all what a child wants. Partners in Time catched me and the whole franchise with it, I'm glad and sad I've experienced them :')

As someone who started with Bowser's inside story and then went backwards, yes, the games were just that good in my opinion. The gameplay always felt fun and fresh to me. It was my intro to RPGs, and it manages to make it simple enough to understand, but with enough depth. Making almost every battle command a quick time event kept battles engaging for my little brain, so even if i needed to fo a bit of grinding if im underleveled, i was having fun. That plus stories that were fun to watch unfold and the silly characters we get to meet in between, and the music makes these games REALLY really good, and i hold them dearly in my heart. The only game i consider to be less on part is Paper Jam, for obvious reasons, though the battles were still very fun to play, and alphadream never missed with those, everything else felt like a missed opportunity, and the game was more or less unmemorable to me.

Regardless of how they stack up now, my nostalgia is 110% tinting my vision, so if I get the chance I want to play all the d2 ones

[@Chris01114]

I think remakes should add stuff to the base game to expand it when adding extra content instead of an extra mode basically entirely seperate

[@goop74B]

I played superstar saga when i was like 5 beating the game despite putting points in random stats that made the game rediculously hard. I love that game I saw brothership was getting released but had no idea there are like 5 other mario and luigi titles best day ever :)

[@maiwei]

Dream Team was the best for me, and Superstar Saga had the most nostalgia for me. Excited to play Brothership!

[@kirbykraftgames]

Slight correction to how BIS ends, Fawful blows himself up from within Bowser’s body, and that’s what causes everyone to get out of his body, once everyone is out of Bowser he sees the Bros, realizes they were in his Bod, tries to fight them, and gets absolutely creamed by the Bros as the Credits roll. Afterwards Peach sent a cake to Bowser’s Castle as a means of thanking him for helping them against Fawful’s schemes

[@Rin-uf6rx]

Hey, excellent vid, demonstrating the concept of each game in the Mario and Luigi series, personally I think bower’s inside did it the best due to the theme song of dark bowser considering being the final boss. Also really excited for “brothership”, definitely buying day 1!

[@StrawHatMidas]

I never preorder games but brothership was an exception for me! I hope you enjoyed and consider checking out some of my other stuff :D

[@Dylucah]

I've only played the first two and loved them both. I plan to marathon the whole series soon though... including the dreaded (and unmentioned) Color Splash

[@fablor9900]

I will say this for the microphone section. The intent behind it was to get you to blow into the microphone, rather than just make noise. If you're talking about the same section I'm thinking about, which is the giant bowser fights. But otherwise, it's a... game on a device with touch screen as an advertised feature. that's like getting upset the wii had moti-wait most of the internet did do that... hmmm.

[@louisebarker3731]

i never knew they made so many games in this series i thought the switch version was just a long awaited sequel 😊

[@PremiumMaple1125]

Tbh, the paper jam ost was absolute perfect

[@miguel83883]

My first ever game was either paper jam or bowser's inside story I can't quite remember but paper jam holds a very special place in my heart I loved that game as a little kid but definitely bowser's inside story was the best I adore that game and honestly every game in the series is good I can lay back and play them and enjoy every single one of them

[@andrewvanover9747]

Bowser's Inside Story is my favorite Mario and Luigi game and one of my favorite game of all time, and I don't even think Starlow is that bad in BIS, she only was rude to Luigi one time in the game, but she still apologized and that was it. Also that scene was also hinting that Baby Luigi in PIT defeated the Shroobs with his tears anyways.

[@StrawHatMidas]

I hope they reference the babies in brothership, now that they have an engine for Switch I can hope for a PIT remake :D

[@Matthewkyos]

2014 i played all of dream team at the ripe age of 9. Came back and played all of dream team at 19 in 2024 again. It's not nostalgia genuinely had a great time playing the game over again

[@Akiozumi]

"Its not just any Boulder, its a Rock!"

[@israeldelatorre2445]

Partners in time most underrated one top favorite

[@d.u.p.e7806]

My biggest gripe about the remaster of bowsers inside story is bowsers basic punch in combat just doesn’t have the same weight to it when it gets a excellent rating it feels weaker

[@SoundGZ]

Short answer:YES Long answer:YES

[@andrewvanover9747]

Wtf, in Partners in Time, Peach wasnt possesed by Princess Shroob, the elder Princess Shroob turned into a mushroom, was still conscious, Bowser was knocked out from earlier in the game, and ate that Mushroom and the Elder Princess Shroob possessed BOWSER

[@StrawHatMidas]

Yeah I messed up and I pinned a comment with the corrections :D it’s been a while since I played and I should have double checked

[@andrewvanover9747]

@@StrawHatMidas you're okay :)

[@lanluhylrean1122]

Nostalgia trip. My FIRST Mario and Luigi game I ever played was Bowsers inside story for the ds. I remember nights where i was a rebel and played the game inside my closet at night so no one would see the lights from me playing. Managed to catch up buying carts and digital of all the games plotwise EXCEPT FOR partners in time. Had been saddened when the company that was making these games went bankrupt after Paper Jam; so the Fact they are making a comeback with Brothership? ESTATIC!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT!

[@lanluhylrean1122]

Had always, ALWAYS, loved the giant battles. Something Dream team shared in common. An extremely dangerous situation where, with a little help, has the character go HUGE to match their opponent was a blast. Didn't like the microphone mechanic for the breath attack (something the remake fixed) but everything else about the fights was epic!

[@g2a5b0e]

How are you pumping out so many quality videos so quickly?! I watch every single one. Keep up the great work!

[@StrawHatMidas]

I dont sleep a lot lol :D I just love making them so it does not feel like work to me :D

[@g2a5b0e]

@@StrawHatMidas I can dig it. Glad I found your channel.

[@deku1659]

Fun fact: Bowser's Inside Story on the DS runs at 60 fps, while the remake runs at 30. This could be why the animations look less fluid to you in the remake.

[@_haorii]

PiT was the first I played and only a friend posessed it. I still love the story so much and was really sad to see the first and third entry getting remakes and not this one. Yeah I know that those are more loved but I don‘t care 😝 my fave was and is Partners in time!!!!

[@roxtechs]

Now that we have brothership I hope we could get a partners in time remake on the switch.

[@Whyulaughing]

I grew up with the first original and it was my favorite. I remember buying it at EB games with the Game Boy. Advance player that when under the game cube.

[@apesibe6972]

I still have an original gameboy advance and a copy of superstar saga (the only cartridge that survived until now) I still replay the game from time to time, and although the nostalgia hits me hard I still think it's a solid title

[@Omonomogon]

I think Paper Jam's issue can mostly be attributed to how slow combat is. (On top of the lack of returning characters unique to either series.)

[@CeoOfBettt]

I thought this series was done after the devs went bankrupt and I’m so happy to see it come back with Brothership and you better believe I’m gonna get this game at launch

[@StrawHatMidas]

I am 100% there with you, I would pay a ludicrous amount of money for a new title and it is back :D

[@P1nnHead]

I have a feeling that the reason Bowser's Inside Story got the remake before Partners In Time was because Alphadream was likely about to go bankrupt and tried to remake the game that would likely sell the best, which was Inside Story.

[@troybell7444]

Yes they were. I really liked the certain point where we saved princess peach.

[@capgangchannel6309]

My ranking best to worst: - Bowser’s inside story - Superstar saga - Partners in time - Dream team - Paper jam

[@kerfrizz3050]

Bowser actually does find out Mario and Luigi were inside him at the end of BiS, that was the credits' scene fight

[@beastslayer8729]

Bro is out here talking about Bowser's Minions and Bowser Jr.'s Journey like they are fun at all.

[@troigrl]

Thanks for the list of all the games. I will try to get as many as I can
