Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Review by: greenluigi - 10/10

An excellent RPG game to play

Hey guys! It's me Green, with my third review!! This time, I will review a great RPG game to play. Meet: Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story for the DS. Now let's begin!! (Too lazy to write reviews, yeah :P)

Story: Unlike other Mario games, RPG ones shares great story lines. Let's start from the first Mario and Luigi RPG. In SuperStar Saga, you wonder around BeanBean Kingdom to retrieve Princess Peach's voice from Cackletta, who wants to revive the Bean Star. In its sequel, Partners in Time, you team up with your past. Travel from time to time to save the world. In this one, for the first time in the series (Well maybe), you team up with your arch nemesis, Bowser. Yes, you can now play as him. Control him, breath fire and do unique attacks. I won't really share much spoiler here but read at your own risk anyway. Bowser accidentally inhales many people from the Mushroom Kingdom. Most of your adventure is basically in his body. No kidding here, it is really fun exploring it. You fix many parts of it, as he learns newer attacks. At one point, Mario and company managed to escape from his body to find three stars (Forgot their names :P) to reach Peach's castle. So the story is about you're in Bowser's body. You team up together to reach high obstacles!! Now I've gotta say this one is the best of other RPGs. Why? Well in the first one, there is Mario and Luigi as usual, trying to save the world. In its sequel, team up with your past. In the third one, you team up with... BOWSER!?!? This is pretty a funny coincidence since the first time I got the game back in early 2013, I was wondering why it is called 'Bowser's inside story.' Every story line (Mainly RPG ones) are creative. I didn't say much of the story to avoid spoilers, obviously :P. Now I talked enough, let's move to the next level. Oh and my score is 9 on this one.

Sound: Ahh I love its SoundTrack. Why? Let's find out :3. Music such as Bowser's Castle, final boss, boss theme etc... let's compare it to other RPGs shall we? In SuperStar Saga, it is OK. As the boss theme and final boss. Partners in Time, final boss too. U may have noticed that I always say 'final boss' to other games right? It's because they offer great music :3!! Something funny: In BIS, the final boss is DA BEST!! (You can hear it as my profile music.) Also in the same game, it shares the worst boss theme. I mean hey, its prequels were great. Here's an interesting fact: Did U know that the one who composes BIS's final boss is the same person who composes Kingdom Hearts? Yeah lol. Oh I forgot to compare it with Dream Team!! In the sequel, it also shares great music, including boss ones and final one!! So, why BIS has the worst boss theme? It is not really my style I guess :P. Oh and other games for GBA, sounds are the best!! Including FireRed and LeafGreen, Ruby and Sapphire etc... so why would Nintendo do BIS as the worst? Nah, it could have been better. I love mostly its final boss. My score on this one it's a 6. Wow!! I leveled up yay :3!! My next target is: Depth!!

Depth: Every games sure is long. But, we have to make an exception to this. We'll find out RIGHT NOW!!! RPG takes a while to beat. There is several reasons why I should explain. Number 1: Training. Yes, training. Let's say at one point, U arrived at a place to beat a tough boss and that monster KOed U in three seconds. U have to train hard to increase your stats, attack, defense, speed, luckiness etc... so U can take this as if you were playing Pokemon. Number 2: Story mode. This game shares a long, interesting and fun story mode to follow. U control Bowser most of the time, to KO some enemies. The story line processes and processes... So these are the most common reasons for depths such as a RPG to beat. I arrived at the final boss, and I was definitely not ready. So I trained hard and hard. I took the challenge and still lost. I kept on training hard until I defeated him. Oh and if at one moment U didn't know what to do, U will DEFINITELY use Google at least once in this game. The smarter you are, the easier it will be. There is many long things to do in this game. Yes, it may confuse you :P. This may be complicated. But trust me, if you played another RPG, you'll probably get use to it. The tutorial is I think a bit longer than U think. But hey, they will teach U how to play. Now I think I said enough. My score to this one is 9.

Difficulty: Yeah, it is really hard. This game was made to 2009. Don't ask me later 'Does it make a difference about the year?' and my answer to U its yes. Older games such as Mario Party DS are more challenging to beat. Why? Well like I said earlier, training will make the game longer to you to beat. You need to be tough enough to crush your enemies. SuperStar saga is hard, partners in time is hard, BIS is hard but Dream Team is slightly easier. Nintendo makes the newer games cooler, but much easier to beat. There is a Challenge Node in this game. Some bosses becomes twice as tough so it will be harder to KO them. Makes the gamer harder I know. The further U reach, the harder or easier it will get. Train really really hard before facing other foes because ANYTIME, a strong opponent appears suddenly and KO U. Appears or not, be always prepared. DS games sure are hard to beat, but more interesting and fun!! ~Yay :3. Jump, attack, save others etc... Ah Nostalgia :). By comparing it by Dream Team per example, it's hard to level up. In the 3DS version, it's easy to get EXP Points, enemies are easy to beat. Except that if you beat the game, there is hard mode. You reset your file and enemies will be tougher. That's what I did to my Dream Team file. In BIS, even normal mode is hard etc... every bosses for you will be hard for the first time. They're stronger than you expected. So don't underestimate a game from 2008 per example. And don't overestimate a new game ;). That's what I'm saying in Difficulty, old games such as this one are MUCH harder to beat. As it shares better storyline and attacks. This one deserves a 10. *Claps hands* :3.

Addictiveness: Well this is my favorite RPG game. I don't play it often now, but it is still an unforgatable to me. You may have noticed that you play older games more than newer games often right? Well let me explain. Older games share more nostalgia, more challenging and fun. While newer games runs more of ideas, less fun, less hard. I restarted my BIS file. Why? Because I missed the fun and adventure. In newer games, I rarely do that. Why I do it rarely? Because it has to be more creative per example, the opponents must be more challenging. Such as this game, you team up with Bowser and there is many characters, enemies waiting for you. Like I said, no matter what happens. always be prepared. Because at any time, opponents can KO you easier than you expected. Trust me, once you've beaten the game, you will probably restart your file one day by missing the fun. This is really common to me as I restarted many of my files from previous files. This one gets a 7. Why? Well because it is fun of course. But not everything hard is cool to you. Some of the difficulty can be annoying, some of them boring or even sleepy!! Yeah lol, Mario and Luigi BIS is really an enjoyable game to play so I suggest you should try it out for early RPG beginners. Older games are much better.

Graphics: Not so much to say about the graphics but, it is a top-down view as usual with other Mario RPGs. (Well some of them). This is a DS game made in 2009 so it's normal that its graphics aren't really the best. Most of the characters share similar voices, expressions etc... I like how they redesigned Bowser from Partners in Time, as its spikes were yellow. That sucked. In BIS, they recolored to white. The thing that I enjoyed most of the graphics are the redesign. This doesn't mean that Partners in Time's graphics sucked. Mario and Luigi's face are well made. Their caps, clothes, item, attacks and everything. Sorry guys, I can't say too much about the graphics because it is a DS game made in 2009 so it's normal being not really the best. It's a 9.

Overall: I enjoyed writing my third review!! It may not be the best, but this game is really one of my favorites!! This game is a must be played one because of the fun, depths and story mode. The Overall would be a 10. BIS may be a better game from its prequel, but they are both challenging XD!!! See you guys in my next review!! I should summon some people now.
