Wow, I like this little game. I thought it'd be a lame peice of crap, but the funny little storyline & fun game mechanics have me hooked. It plays like it's a toned down version of Mario RGP.

Did anyone else grab a copy?

Bowser/King Koopa's new airship


Peach crying because the new villians of the game stole her voice for some evil plan. Bowser mad because he didn't think of it 1st.

I have it *cough*ROM*cough*

Yeah it's pretty fun and funny. I don't know how long it is, since I haven't played it too much. I laughed at the part about Peach's explosive vocabulary and Fawful is funny too.

Mario RPG for SNES was fun to play I hope that it still retains the same level of enjoyment. But even though it seems that the Mario series has been replayed so many times on Gba, I kind of like the looks of this game.

you like it? I'm thinking of adding it to the x-mas list...tell me how long it takes you to beat it, and if it is worth it or not :) I thought it looks like fun...just want another opinion!
The game is not horribly long, but long enough for someone to enjoy the story & expect at least 20 to 25 hours of gameplay.

The game should definently be marked as a "must have" on your Christmas wish list. For all you classic Mario freaks, the game does well in paying homage to many classic Mario games. I enjoyed this game greatly!

EGM's score for M&L:SSS : 9.0 - 8.5 - 9.0 out of 10's (Silver Award)

EGM quotes:

Kevin - "Mario & Luigi is exactly the sort of RPG the GBA needed. It's not overly long like Golden Sun, it's not too difficult like Lufia, &--for a change--it's not about collecting little fuzzy things."

GMR--Andrew - "...the best GBA game this year."

Well of course the mario series was replayed on the GBA. All Nintendo did was remake classic Mario games (SMB3 - SMW:YI) & use the "Connectability via GBA & GCN" gimmick in hopes of luring people into it's money trap. Heh, jokes aside, I liked the remakes. I have 2 of the the Mario ramkes for GBA & enjoyed the memories I had greatly.

I would have beaten it, but my save file corrupted near the end (I have a ROM since I have no money to but the real game), but my friend sent me his save file and I saw most of the ending (I had to leave in the middle of it and I never got a chance to go watch it all)

I just wish they would've had another parade like the first two....the ending was nice, I liked the music...but I also loved the parades, especially the one in Paper Mario hehe.

They sure did change a lot of thigns in this game. No parade, Luigi helps Mario, Peach doesn't get kidnapped until late in the game, Bowser has no evil plans, no Flower Points, and there aren't seven things to collect... But it is still good.

I do like how in the Paper Mario parade how that Chain Chomp is still chasing Tutankoopa lol

Yeah that was hilarious hehe. I liked when Kammy Koopa and Troopa Jr. (was that his name?) are fighting one another and they accidentally hit an angry Bowser. They came out fried far past a "well done" hehe. Oh and the only thing in terms of story that I liked better in Paper Mario was collecting the seven stars. You always have a something you need to be doing in the game, while in M&L a lot of the time you don't really have a purpose. And each chapter was different in PM, I especially liked chapters 3,5,7 and of course 8!

The Hooniversity was fun, it did take me a while to notice it was Hooniversity and not University..... I like how the Dr. Mario viruses where in there (need to find some reference to Dr. Mario in SMRPG now... Paper Mario's reference is part of the story in Chapter 5) But is it me or do the Laser Snifits there look like babies?

A week? First time I played it I beat it in 5 days hehe, I guess I was really enjoying myself. The snifits do look like babies! It looks like they have a binky (I know they're called pacifiers, just I grew up saying binkys instead)in their mouth! I liked fighting against the Chuckola Reserve! It had a sword! I also liked fighting against Popple and Rookie. (bowser hehe) I would say more, but I don't want to give out spoilers....

I thought it was funny having to fight the Chuckola Reserve. It was as original as the Wedding Cake boss in SMRPG. I like Bowser and Popple's Bros. Techniques. And Popple's new rookie later on is hilarious. "I'll protect you! (heart)" Hehehe...

The hard bit about fawful 2nd battle is hes got this kind of shield machine but when he does the spinning balls attack after he goes.... Yeeeouch! That battle is hard. Very hard.
Hermie III is extremely hard it took a long time to beat him!
IT took the game to beat for me about 2 weeks!
The last boss is cacklettas soul where a bomb comes in after bowletta goes"gaaaaaahhh!"
And the bomb kills them and bowletta swallows them into her belly and then you fight her soul!

I actually thought those battles were pretty easy hehe. Oh, and has anyone found any rare badges? I think one is called the "bros. respect" badge, I don't know where to find any!

Supposedly some bosses (starting with Trunkle) will drop rare items sometimes. And you get them all the time from the boss battles with the Game Boy Horror SP. I never got any or the SP though...
