Topic: Mario & Luigi:Bowser's Inside Story

[Killer_Man_Jaro]

Bowser's last special is from collecting blitties.  With Mario and Luigi, you should pay up when a mob of blue-shelled creatures want their money, even if you don't think it's worth it.  I don't know about the other one for them, I can't recall it.  Hopefully you have Mighty Meteor.  I love that one.

Ah, the Blitties. I think I have two more of them to find before the collection is completed. I do have Mighty Meteor though, which is indeed an awesome attack if you execute it correctly. That's the cool thing about the Special Attacks - they are immensely powerful, but the player has to do the hard work to ensure it deals that damage, or else it will be very weak and a bunch of SP is wasted. One of Bowser's specials is likely to be my favourite; probably Bob-Omb Blitz or Magikoopa Mob.

If anybody is still on the fence about shelling out the money for this, keep in mind that it is essentially like playing two games. The two halves of Bowser's Inside Story are starkly different from each other and they both play really nicely. Also, I feel obligated to back up earlier comments that the graphics and animation are some of the best to grace the system.

I haven't played this game in a while. I better get back to it.

[BeautifulShy]

I'm in the last area I believe.

I traded this game in. I hadn't played in a while, plus I needed some Wii Points for my new system, so I made my move. It was a good game, though, I plan to get it again sometime in the future.

I found this used and picked it up. I've never played a Mario & Luigi game before, a lot of it I get and some of it is new, but it's all fun. I... *looks at hylianhero5249's post* Did I buy your used cart? :

It's $25 NEW at Target right now till Saturday.

The game is great.  I'm about 20 hours into and loving every minute.  Oddly enough, I don't think the localization is as great as everyone says--sure, it's undeniably funny, but the dialog tends to get a bit long-winded and it can drag in certain places.  But the core gameplay is good enough that I still enjoy the game immensely.

The dialogue only drags when the little star thing talks. I think I find more annoying than Bowser does.

[Peachylala]

The script is priceless, but the star thingy's lines had to go. She was just a waste of space.

I got sick of this game well before I should have and put it up on Goozex while I could still get plenty of points for it. Enough, in fact, to get me FF 4, 5 and 6 and Mass Effect. Good deal.

While the writing was pretty funny, it seemed really forced. The battles got very repetitive and the actual character building wasn't enough to rope me in.

[nickmitch]

Just beat it and I must say, the story could've used more Fawful.

[Stratos]

I'm loving the writing so far. Fawful's language is hilariously similar to crazy forum/lolcats speech. Though I must say that I much preferred the silent 'charade' communication style of Mario in Super Mario RPG over the brother's 'jabbering'.

Only real complain I have with the game is that there is no 'I know how to play the game so leave me alone tutorials' option. I get so busy pushing the button to skip the tutorial conversation that I accidentally say yes to having them teach me the next thing they want to show me. I would rather they have one option at the beginning where you could say you know what the heck you are doing so that you are no longer bothered by the offers to teach you.

Well, I was playing a lot "Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga" and "Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time" and when I have heard that they are creating a new "Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story" I thougt that it is going to be really cool game like others two "Mario & Luigi" games but I have disappointed in this third part..

[Stratos]

Why are you disappointed, Porios?

The dialogue only drags when the little star thing talks.

The star person for some reason reminds me of Mop it up. The way she makes Bowser behave from time to time just sounds like something Mop it up would do in a way she would say it.

[Mop it up]

If you're going to talk about me in threads I don't read, the least you could do is elaborate.

[EasyCure]

This game will remind me of Mop it up?

Gonna go return this now.
