Item Description

Princess Peach climbs into Professor E. Gadd's brand-new time machine, it returns with a monster in her place, and from there Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time becomes a stranger, darker adventure than anyone expected from the sequel to the joke-a-minute Superstar Saga. AlphaDream's 2005 Nintendo DS RPG sends the brothers through time holes into a past Mushroom Kingdom overrun by the Shroobs, mushroom-shaped alien invaders, where they team up with the most unlikely partners of all: their own baby selves.

Four heroes, four buttons. A and B control Mario and Luigi, X and Y control Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, and the whole game is designed around that layout. The babies ride piggyback on the brothers until a gap is too small or a ledge too high, then hop down to solve puzzles of their own, and the dual screens keep track of both pairs when they split up. In battle, timed presses power up every attack and dodge, and Bros. items such as Green Shells, the Smash Egg, the Pocket Chomp and the Copy Flower turn each turn into a quick rhythm game played by two generations at once.

The past is full of memorable places, from the wintry Hollijolli Village and Toadwood Forest to Yoshi's Island, Gritzy Desert and Thwomp Volcano, each one marked by the Shroob invasion in some way. Baby Bowser keeps crashing the party, Stuffwell, a talking suitcase, offers advice nobody asked for, and Yoko Shimomura's score swings from bouncy Mushroom Kingdom melodies to something properly menacing whenever Princess Shroob and her forces are near.

It is the second entry in AlphaDream's series and the one that leaned hardest into atmosphere, with an alien invasion that gives the Mushroom Kingdom real stakes, while keeping the brothers' wordless comedy and Luigi's endless misfortune intact. Unlike Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story, it never received a 3DS remake, which keeps the original DS release at the center of the Partners in Time experience and makes it the place to see the four-button idea in its purest form.
