So has anybody here played Mario & Luigi: Superstar Sage for the GBA (I hope I didn't ask this a month ago, but I don't think I did)? It's not an incredibly hard RPG, but it's just so much fun! Honestly, it's the closest I've come to watching a continuation of the old TV series, where the Mario Bros. work as a team. And back in the NES days, when game narratives were limited, it was really the old DiC cartoons that shaped my image of the Mario universe.


SuperStar Saga is a frickin' awesome game. Too bad the sequel had to be full of those blasted continuity-complicating babies. (How can Mario be an Italian plumber from Brooklyn if he knew Princess Peach as a baby?)


Yeah, I have no idea how far I am into it (don't want to know, so don't tell me), but I just did that quest where Luigi was hypnotized into thinking he was Mario. That was hilarious. Honestly, Chaltab, the whole Brooklyn-transplant thing has never been mentioned in any official game as far as I know. It was just the cartoon/movie that did that. We just accept it as canon because it's a much better backstory than what the games present. But since I don't have a DS, I haven't played Partners in Time anyway.

Oh, and Tiptup, that was the funniest thing I've seen in a while. I love it. I'd seen links to it on YouTube forever, but I never clicked it because I didn't realize what it was. Thanks for that gem. Have to watch them all now.
