User Rating: 9 | Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time DS
I personally just beat the game for the first time a week or two ago, and loved every second of it. Basically, without giving too much away, Mario and Luigi watch as Princess Peach goes on a trip to the past with a Toad. The time machine comes back damaged, and missing a Colbalt Star. A huge Shroob comes out, you fight it as Mario. You play first as Mario and Luigi's adult selves, but you meet up with their past selves and team up with them for the rest of the game, save the few times you split up in some areas and, of coarse, the end. You search around for shards of the broken Cobalt Star, and face the whole Shroob army along the way. Difficult boss fights and tricky puzzles and mazes and platforming make this a perfect little Mario Luigi game worth recognition. You save Peach *gasp!* and Bowzer goes and kidnaps her soon after *even bigger gasp!*. He fails *another gasp*, and after you beat the final bosses in the past, he becomes possessed by the spirit of the dead final boss *GASP!*. You beat him, credits roll.
Tips for stuck people/ people just starting: I loved using the fire flower and a few other bros items on the tricky bosses, and I'd never have survived the Princess Shroob fights without the automatic healing badge and the infinite bros items badge, try them.
For those thinking you may want this game: 1: what took you so long? and 2: great game, I loved the beginning bosses and the gradual increase of difficulty. Not too long learning curve, really a pick up and play game, but to beat the last bosses, you're going to need some skills behind your fingers.
One downfall for this game is that it is on the DS, but doesn't use the touch screen at all for part of the normal game play, there are a few times where you "scratch off the dirt from the drawing," but that is it.
Great game, hope you enjoy(ed) it.
