I played it for the first 10 minutes and it was boring. I really hope the whole game isn't like this. Oh well, can't wait for the release.

How many save files does Mario & Luigi have?

i wouldn't quite call that a "waste". spending money on food, clothing, and shelter is a waste.

I ordered the NP and M&L bundle from Nintendo and I just got it today. So far I've put in an hour into the game and so far I really really like it! Lots of little touches from past Mario games (the World Map theme is exactly the same as the map theme from SMRPG!) and lots of humor (the witch's sidekick talks like a reject from Monty Python). I like the battle system, though I haven't gotten the timing of the Bros attacks down yet. The little touches are what matters... for instance, while fighting a boss, Mario went down while Luigi carried on. When the boss sent an attack towards Mario's unconsious body, Luigi actually ran over and moved Mario out of the way!

I'm not an RPG man, but this game is really looking good to me. I'm definitely getting it, if'n I get a GBP.

Mario · « **Reply #32 on:** November 22, 2003, 12:42:12 PM »

Im not really an RPG man either (i prefer games with gameplay), but this game looks really awesome to me! Probably because of all the gameplay elements, and all.

I wont be able to get it until Christmas though, oh well, i can wait...

If only Nintendo made a game like this for the GameCube. *waiting for details of Paper Mario GC*

A THREE YEAR OLD THREAD BUMP WHAT THE HELL BOLD TEXT FORMAT

vudu · « **Reply #35 on:** July 31, 2006, 02:24:01 PM »

To be fair, it's only two point six seven years old.

Besides, since Mario & Luigi recently because a Player's Choice game (take that, Aussies!) people will probably play the game who have never experienced the game.

(Who am I kidding? Stupid bump.)

Ceric · « **Reply #36 on:** July 31, 2006, 05:31:40 PM »

Actually I wanted to talk some about the game as I went through because I just got it because the price has gone down. It's rude to make a new thread so I found the appropriate one.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #37 on:** August 01, 2006, 05:36:21 AM »

I think when it's over a year since it was updated, it's not so bad, but I still applaud your historical thread-bumping.

I loved Mario & Luigi, but personally I found the Zelda-esque overworld kind of tedious and frustrating. I think the original Super Mario RPG still has the best overworld system: you can use the map to go directly to the area you want to, and it's reminiscent of the platformers to boot.

Mario · « **Reply #38 on:** August 01, 2006, 06:41:07 AM »

Oh yeah, I did end up getting this game, and it lived up to my expectations! For some reason I have yet to get M&L2 though, even though i'd probably love it.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #39 on:** August 04, 2006, 08:29:38 AM »

Some people were disappointed with Partners in Time...I can see why, it's quite a bit shorter and it eliminates the Zelda-like overworld in favour of a simple hub world. I like the hub world a lot better, and the story was a little more "epic", but it is definitely on the short side and lacking in side-quests or mini-games. It was also a little easier, I think. In spite of that, I actually like it better than the first.

Overall, it seems like they rushed Partners in Time out, but in my opinion it's rushed in the best kind of way: they just made it short and sweet rather than trying to artificially lengthen it with fetch-quests and the like. If length is a big requirement for you in game purchases, then I'd say look for a used copy.

Ceric · « **Reply #40 on:** August 04, 2006, 09:57:23 AM »

Does it have a lot of "in" jokes like the original?

EasyCure · « **Reply #41 on:** August 04, 2006, 10:42:00 AM »

i have mario & luigi: i bought it used only a week or so before they announced the price cut (and yes, the used price was still more expensive then the price cut). i enjoyed this game, and i got up to the last boss just havent beat it yet. it seems like every time i think im going to win i stop paying attention to my health and die.
partners in time seems like a good purchase but if its short i guess i will find a used copy.

ceric had a good question as well, does it retain the humor of the other mario rpgs??

Blue Plant · « **Reply #42 on:** August 04, 2006, 11:51:37 AM »

Heavy use of slapstick to get humor in Partners in Time. It's been so long since I played the GBA one, so I can't compare them any better than that. Feels like the original made better use of text humor, though.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #43 on:** August 04, 2006, 12:13:53 PM »

The game has a good sense of humour, but a lot of M&L fans bemoan the lack of Fawfulness. The Mario series in jokes aren't as heavily used in this one, but it's still really funny.

Edit: there's an entire quest built around Luigi's cowardice. They cut out the "Green guy" jokes, but snuck one in right at the end.

Allenhan · « **Reply #44 on:** August 14, 2006, 06:15:21 AM »

but at least it was a good game

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #45 on:** August 14, 2006, 06:18:54 AM »

While this thread is bumped and we're talking about it, no way is this game better than Super Mario RPG. It's pretty good, but I don't think it compares to the Mario RPG gameplay (not to mention godly Mario RPG soundtrack).

Ceric · « **Reply #46 on:** August 14, 2006, 06:32:48 AM »

I think it's a very different game then Super Mario RPG. If you are a Mario fan and follow the series. The jokes in this one will make more sense and I think are better the Super Mario RPG. Now if you don't follow Mario then Super Mario RPG has a larger variety of jokes and introduce new characters you directly control. There both good and I don't really thing one is better then the other.

I think the original Mario And Luigi Gameboy advanced RPG is the one of the best comedic RPGs around.

It had very tight and engaging combat system, that not only required smart "Mario Strategy" but also required precision timing to get the best hit. The combat was very engaging and enjoyable.

The story was also incredibly funny, and if you are any kind of Mario fan it will make you burst out laughing.

The DS sequel isn't nearly as good. The combat system is similar but relies too heavily on items...and the timed button presses during combat became too complicated. It was too risky to use some of the better items in the game. Which is a shame.

Now the Paper Mario series I haven't played completely through, but the Nintendo 64 version was a blast and highly addicting. Though, it was lighthearted it felt less like a comedy to me.

I never really played Super Mario RPG so I can't comment on that game...but it would have to be pretty amazing to beat Super Mario Super Star Saga.

Nonsense! The timed button attacks are SOOOO much better than the horrible Bros. Attacks from the first game...

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #49 on:** August 14, 2006, 03:42:57 PM »

Bill: They are basically the exact same system...except that you now use items instead of Brother attacks. I enjoyed the system for the most part...but the final two items you could buy were very difficult to use. It basically made it more of a risk than a benefit to use. The Bros. Attacks were never that inconsistent. (Partially, because you only had two buttons to worry about pressing but still.)

That is my only complaint about the game. I loved the experience and the story was silly fun.
