This is a club for two of my favourite RPGs of all time and the magic that took place in them.
These two games were magnificent. The gameplay was fantastic, the difficulty was just high enough to challenge older players but appeal to newer ones and the music is probably one of my favourite in the series and that's saying something. I'll just list what's so awesome about this game.
1. The Battle System
Besides the regular turn-based RPG, the games had one thing that seperates it. In other RPGs, the only way you could hope of not getting hit was if they missed. In this game, the brothers don't just stand there and take a beating, they jump, hammer and burn/shock to dodge, negate or REVERSE (yah, you heard me right) any move, even the last boss.
2. The Music
This game had a wonderful soundtrack composed of new, Mario-esk music and remixes of old ones. Every time you're in a cave you hear the same music you'd hear if you were playing the original Super Mario Bros. which is so awesome! The regular battle music doesn't get you scared like you've been dropped into a bloody war, it just gets you pumped!
3. Cameos
Superstar Saga had 3 notable Cameos, I'll tell you in order of awesomeness from bottom to top.
3. Viruses from Dr. Mario
2. The hammer bros. Said," Now you're playing with Power!"
1. Geno makes a cameo
For the love of god, this proves, Nintendo always has an eye on every single game with Mario's, Link's, Samus' or anyone of their superstars' face on it. And the biggest thing is, they don't even own Geno. In the credits, they said he was owned by Square Enix. Case in point, if he were to be in Brawl, he wouldn't be first party, Nintendo would have to make a deal with Square Enix before they could pit him against Kirby, Ike and Donkey Kong in Super Smash Bros. Four.
4. The Revolutionary 2x2 Action (Partners in Time only)
In Partners in Time, the battle system got a SWEET upgrade. The hammer attacks, instead of just pressing A if you were Mario, if the babies were on your backs, just press X to make the attack stronger. A jump? Just time the hit right with X and Baby Mario will jump off launching Mario up for a second attack. Sure, it was a pain, and the same time it wasn't that the Bros. Moves were removed but all the new Bros. Items could also be controlled with X and Y instead of just A and B. It just added another layer of depth to a deep enough game.
5. Bowser is playable in the third!
Can you think of a Mario game where you play as BOWSER… Besides Super Mario RPG and the many sports games? No, you can't. That's why he so awesome. Can't wait to buy this game and beat it! Fawful is going down! Sidekicks have to learn not to come back as main villains. Bet you ten bucks this a façade and the real mastermind behind that game is Cackletta herself. Hey, if Micheal Myers can survive a being in a cave-in caused by dynamite, I think that witch Cackletta can survive vanishing. Not to mention Bowser survived and I'm getting a hint so will she. Either way, burning goombas and bringing and army of Kamek to fire lasers with Bowser behind them will be fun.
Story for…
A lady and her assistant saying from the far-away Bean Bean Kingdom says her country requested an alliance with the Mushroom Kingdom so, she sees Princess Peach. And right before everyone's eyes the lady transforms into the evil witch Cackletta and her assistant, Fawful, and do something more than evil than stealing Peach. They steal her voice and vanish leaving only bombs as a replacement. To retrieve the voice, Toadsworth calls on Mario & Luigi to save the day. Why Cackletta has done this evil deed? To use the majesty of Peach's voice, to unlock the power hidden in the all-powerful Beanstar. Instead, the voice angers the star causing it to split into five pieces and scatter across the kingdom.

Proffesor E. Gadd has built a time machine and just needs to test it. Peach volunteers to go see the Mushroom kingdom of about thirty years ago. After a while, Peach doesn't return but a time machine with a hideous monster inside. At the same time thirty years in the past, a younger version of Bowser, called Bowser Jr., is invading a the castle Baby Mario, Peach and Luigi where. He not only stole the crown but, what I'm assuming isn't the first time, kidnapped the princess just to get his butt kicked by Mario. At the same time in the future, a time hole, a rift in the space/time continuum opens up. E. Gadd confirms that it might send Mario back in time to where Peach is so they jump into action. After Mario and Luigi meet up with their past counterparts they learn of the Shroobs. Evil Mushroom-esk people who kidnapped the princess to unlock the power of the Cobalt Star. A star that's power can only be used with the help of Mushroom Kingdom royalty, so it's up to Mario, Baby Mario, Luigi and Baby Luigi to rescue the Cobalt Star, defeat the Shroobs and save the princess!
