Best Things About the Mario & Luigi Series

This video game series is hands down one of my favourite video game series of all time! Of course, I think Quest For Glory is slightly better, but the Mario & Luigi series is hands down the best mario series! All of the games in this series of five games are so original and some of the most original mario games of all time (with the exclusion of Paper Jam which was disappointing in terms of creativity but it was still a fun game). I haven't played Bowser's Inside Story yet, but I'm been studying it and Bowser's Inside Story is the most original hands down because the whole concept of having one screen controlling Bowser and the other scren you control the mario bros. inside Bowser's belly! That's just through the roof! Dream Team is such an original masterpiece as well, and my favourite of the three games I have played so far. The whole dream aspect is just awesome and very original, and it's done in such a great way! Superstar Saga isn't as creative as the two I mentioned, but it ...more

While I haven't played BiS or PiT yet, I've played the other three games. The soundtracks are excellent! Superstar Saga has the weakest of the three, but songs like Bowser's Castle, Final Cackletta Battle, Cackletta Battle, Beanbean Fields, Battle and Bowletta Battle prove that this game still has tons of excellent songs! Paper Jam, while a weaker game, has stronger soundtrack! Mountaintop Secrets, Forest Fairy Melody and Big Bang! alone could beat the whole of Superstar Saga's soundtrack! Now as for Dream Team, it's even better! It might actually have the best selection of soundtracks in any mario game (excluding Super Mario Galaxy)! Pi'illo Castle and Somnon Woods, both their real world and dream world counterparts are among the best songs I've ever heard! Just a big W for the series!

Comparing Mario & Luigi to Paper Mario is almost absurd, because while both are RPG series consisting of a total of five games, one of them has all great games while the other one has one of the worst mario games ever made (Stickee Star). I haven't played BiS or PiT, but I have been looking at them a bit and they seem like great games as well! Paper Jam is viewed as the worst of the series, which I own, but both me and the fanbase claims it to be a fun game still

So I haven't played BiS or PiT but I'll be looking at them too because I know what they are about though. But this is something I really love about the series as all of the games have something new that make the mstand out from one and another. Superstar Saga has pherhaps the most twists that are excellent and the clever story which is just way too unique, plus considering that all the locations fit with each other. Partners in Time has a time travelling story where you control four characters (Mario, Luigi and their baby counterparts) and introduces this species called the Shroobs. Bowser's Inside Story is the most original and makes you able to take control of both Bowser and the mario bros. and you must work togheter to defeat Fawful. It also introduced the giant boss battles in which you use the touch screen to attack giant boss battles and I love it! Dream Team is like BiS but with dreams instead of bodies and it's so original! It brings back the giant battles from BiS as well. ...more

Ok so this is mainly low because it's not necessarily something original or unique, but I liked the battle system overall still. Much better than Paper Mario's battle system in which you can't even level up your attack stats, like why? The battle system in this series is better as you can choose to level up much more stats than just HP, FP or BP

While this item kinda rehashes the item " Each Game Shows Something New and Clever", it's still something that needs to be pointed out. Superstar Saga has Peach's voice getting stolen by Cackletta so that she can awake the Beanstar that can fulfil her wishes, Dream Team has Mario and Luigi needing to save both Peach and Pi'illo Island from Antasma and Bowser who are after a dream stone so that they can fulfil their wishes. Well this whole fulfil their dreams may seem a bit cliché but I think only these two games had that story but I really liked it nevertheless. I won't go into BiS or PiT because I don't want to spoil myself too much, but their stories seem great as well
