Item Description

Few RPG villains talk like Fawful. Cackletta's henchman, with his gift for mangled and menacing speeches (“I have fury!”), made his debut in Superstar Saga, the 2003 Game Boy Advance adventure that launched AlphaDream's Mario & Luigi series, and he is just one reason this 3DS remake is such a pleasure. Cackletta and Fawful steal Princess Peach's voice, and Mario and Luigi head into the neighboring Beanbean Kingdom to get it back, with Bowser, of all characters, giving them a ride on his airship.

The battle system is what made the series famous. Each brother is mapped to his own button, so you control Mario and Luigi at the same time, timing jumps and hammer swings for extra damage and reading enemy tells to dodge or counterattack. Bros. Attacks chain both brothers into flashy combo moves, and out in the field their Bros. Actions, from the high jump and spin jump to hammers and fire-and-thunder hand powers, turn exploration into a steady stream of clever puzzles. The Beanbean Kingdom is packed with personality, from Chucklehuck Woods and Woohoo Hooniversity to Teehee Valley and Joke's End, and the script lands joke after joke.

This version rebuilds the whole adventure with new art in the style of the later 3DS entries, a rearranged take on Yoko Shimomura's soundtrack and quality-of-life updates throughout. The big addition is Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser, a full side story that retells events from the perspective of Bowser's minions. Captain Goomba recruits troops into his own Minion army and leads them into squad battles where matching unit types against each other in a rock-paper-scissors balance decides the fight, a lighter strategy game that adds hours on top of the main RPG.

Superstar Saga set the tone for every Mario & Luigi game that followed, and Fawful proved popular enough to return as the main villain of Bowser's Inside Story. AlphaDream's remake gives that origin story a polished second life, making this the most convenient way to play where the series began, with an entire bonus campaign on top.
