    One of the most imaginative, compelling, and outright fun RPGs to grace any system in years. [Spring 2004, p.30]

    Superstar Saga is the perfect mix of turn-based combat, adventuring and platforming all in one.

    This is as light and unpretentious as RPGs get. If the typical melodramatic RPGs make you laugh more than cry and you've grown tired of casting dragon destroyer +7, Mario & Luigi is just what the plumber ordered.

    Incredible! Absolutely incredible! While it took me almost 5 years to beat because i got the game at a very young age in which i was incapable on comprehending more than half of the English language, that doesn't matter because even after pulling through it was an incredible experience. Did i mention it was incredible? This game is incredible.… Expand

    Nintneod have truly outdone themselves int he RPG world. Not only are they able to diversify Mario into the realm of turn based gameplay, they manage to make them stand among the best RPG's of this generation. Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga is one of those unforgettable experiences. The game is easy to play, but difficult to complete 100%. The game still provides a decent challenge to newcomers though and you can still find yourself in a tight snitch here and there. The story is definitely something to behold and will keep you smiling the whole way through. Mario and Luigi's gameplay system is also pitch perfect. Each with there own unique abilities, the two brothers only way to stay alive is to not get seperated and work together. This craetes some very interesting sections and situations in the game and the brothers can only use their full power when performing team attacks and using these moves successfully will be the deciding factor a fight. The characters are new and fresh, with some returning roles, and the game is just simply memorable as heck. Truly a worthy gem on the game boy advance adn one of my favorite games ever! Check this game out and you won't be dissapointed.… Expand

    El comienzo de esta sub-saga de RPGs llegó a GBA con el pie derecho. Desde el SNES que no veíamos a Mario en un verdadero juego de rol, y el título realmente hizo de las delicias para los fans tanto del género como del plomero favorito de todos.… Expand

    This game is dull, boring, and nowhere near as good as everone claims. I had it for a week then sold it on e-bay.
