Mario and Luigi: superstar saga could be one of the best games on the GBA. It is for me. The graphics are outstanding. Everything just looks so bright and colorful, it makes you wanna cry. Mario and Luigi do lots of things, so there's a lot of sprites. It's funny how they do most of them. The gameplay is incredibly fun. You basically take turns choosing what kind of attack you want to choose, how you wanna do it, who you wanna attack, use an item, use a special attack, and many more. You can even learn to dodge monster's attacks. It's like a portable paper mario. The story is humorous, and strong at the same time. It goes like this: One day, an evil witch named Cackletta stole Princess Peach's voice. It is said that if there is a voice that belongs to a person with a pure heart, you speak to the Bean Star, and it can fulfill your wishes. Cackletta plans to take over the world. But she didn't count on the Mushroom Kingdom's celebrities to come and save the day. I would continue the storyline, but I don't want to give out spoilers. One of the characters you encounter in the game is the famous Prince Peasly. He's Beanbean Kingdom's hero. Even though he's a big pain in the rear, and always messes up, it's funny to see how he tries to help you and then you have to save him. Bowser appears on the game, but is not the last boss. He loses his memory, and thinks he belongs to a guy who I forgot his name. He think his name's "Rookie". When you beat him, he remembers everything, but right then, there's a big explosion. He remains on the floor for the rest of the level. Then, you have to fight Cackletta. After you beat her, her annoying assistant, who's addicted to the word "fink-rat", Fawful, sucks up her energy and transfers it to Bowser. Now it's her soul on Bowser's body. The game is pretty long, with many sidequests and shortcuts and lots of other things you'll find while exploring the Beanbean Kingdom. The sound is awesome. You'll find yourself humming some of the tunes, while you go through the game. Though Mario and Luigi don't normally talk, they speak gibberish through the game. To each other, and other characters. Like I said, the game is as long as can be. You can find many hidden items and attacks, and you get experience points everytime you defeat an enemy. With your exp. points, your level eventually goes up. Your stats increase, which include your attack, defense, speed, brother points, which are used for tag-team attacks, and 'stache. 'Stache is short for "mustache". Mustache is used by increasing your chances of attacking harder on an enemy, and it makes the price of certain items on the game go lower. You can buy badges, which have special effects like making you stronger, or faster. The same thing goes for pants. Some of them let you step on spiky enemies, and more. Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga is a true RPG...
