What did you like about this game?

Good thing it mostly doesn't go down like that other than the NSMB series

Nah I'm good I am forever mrbowser!

Nah, there can be only one Mr!

MR L IS DEAD MAN, DEAD

Doctor Luigi and Mister L ? (Sorry for the pun)

Is bricked mean when i tell a very bad joke, i recieve a brick to the face.

Just downloaded it from Wii U eShop (first time I play this game, actually) and so far this is actually good (much better than Dream Team) and I'm currently in Beanbean Castle Sewers. My favorite themes are (so far) Hoohoo Village and the boss theme.

It is still my least favorite, but the game is still a great game.

How far are you now, Xan?

It would have been better if you played them in order. After BIS it will seem lacking, no doubt.

I actually really love Antasma as a character. I just kinda dislike DT which usually makes me ignore DT and all in my headcanons. I hope that I can make Antasma get a decent role in my fangame possibly. He will probably really hate Bowser xD

Anyhow

SSS is my second fave M&LRPG probably.
I loved almost everything about it.

I actually like DT's portrayal. Not as in it's the best, more like how I see it as character development in the series.

In M&LSS, he is a victim all the time.
In PiT he begins to become a bit more competent.
In BiS he undergoes lots of character development by working with Chippy, the Giant Battles, and kicking Fawful and Dark Bowser ass.
In DT the fruits of all the character development make him the master manipulator and truly credible threat he is.

That's how I see it.

Also, somehow I don't feel Bowser's evil. Why would Bowser help Mario multiple times? He's working with Mario. He probably had lots of chances in SPM and SMRPG where his arch nemesis let his guard down and Bowser can destroy him yet he doesn't. And he seemed oddly emotional in BiS's ending with the present cake. I believe he's not quite evil, just raised to be a royal brat cause a big kingdom needs a ruler who isn't goody-goody etc... I also remember that in YI and PiT Baby Bowser isn't so much evil as he is a royal brat either. In short, I think Bowser just doesn't know any better than doing what he does.

TBH, I never *really* liked any of the RPG-confined characters in any series. They simply arrive and leave way too quickly to leave a huge impression on my head. I suppose if they made more appearances outside the series, they would be more memorable, but the problem is that sticking within their series *is* their schtick.

I'm not a big fan of Bowser. I don't like him, I don't hate him. He's kind of funny at points, but he's not my favorite character, since Mario is. And then it's Luigi. And then maybe some of Paper Mario's partners. Then the rest.

On topic, the best thing about Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga is the degree of freedom between switching Mario and Luigi and even separating them at one point. I'd like more separation being taken advantage of because it, uh, feels weird to see Mario/Luigi actually alone for once. Especially in the RPG series. Finally, I miss Fire Brand and Thunder Hand. I like elemental moves being reintroduced at some point.

Twila and Brighton also only appeared in one game and then left. RPG characters all made impressions on me. Quality over quantity. They do not need multiple appearances. I liked almost all of them and it is certainly better than resorting to generic characters.

Me too. I wonder why they took out the position swapping in the games after SSS as well... I thought it was a nice feature.

Luigi does have a sexy face...
But it is hideous compared to WAH.

(Nice Homestar Runner ref by the way)
