Oh man, where do I begin with this one? I fell in love with the Mario & Luigi RPG games since I got my hands on Bower's Inside Story. I also have Dream Team, which is down-right amazing. But what are we here for today? My review on where it all started, Superstar Saga. First off, the graphics. For the game boy advance, Mario and Luigi look pretty stylish. Their animations are also pretty good. Graphics gets a 9. Next, we have sound. Sound actually gets pretty boring. The tunes are pretty basic, even for GBA. The battle theme, while good for a while, REALLY starts to get old. Sound gets a 5, cause I'm feeling generous. Addictiveness, however, has always been a high point for the plumber's RPG outings. Trust me, for every single game in the series, I could play them over and over and never get tired of them. You could start over and raise Mario and Luigi to be speedsters or lucky hitters, use different gear, and fight more battles to get to the highest level. For story, it's a step up from other Mario games. For starters, Bowser is not the main bad guy, much like Super Mario RPG: The Seven Stars, but that review is for another day. One day, somebody from the Bean Bean Kingdom tries to extend the relationships between the Mushroom and Bean Bean Kingdoms. Turns out, that somebody was actually Cackletta, whom then stole Peach's voice, replacing it with some rather "explosive" vocabulary. Story gets a 8. And next, we have depth. Boy, is this game big. It takes a while to beat, and it has a lot of side-quests, like any good RPG. Depth gets a 9. Difficulty, however, isn't THAT high. Sure, some bosses and enemys are tough, but when you think about it, it's not that hard. Difficulty gets a 6. Overall, I think this is one of the finest RPGs out there. Good ol' Vizzed. If Vizzed didn't exist, I wouldn't be able to play this game. This game is very fun, and the text is witty at times too. Overall, this game gets.... a 9.8.

I always loved this game as a kid, played through it more times than I can remember. I haven't played any of the sequels unfortunately.

Glad you enjoyed the title as much as I did. If you ever get your hands on a 3DS, go for Dream Team.

I bought this game off of Amazon and loved it! I still have yet to beat the final boss, but it's a very impressive game! Alphadream did really well making this game, hats off to them for their originality in making a great spin-off to the Super Mario series!

Hats off indeed

Ugh, I finally decided to come back to this site and then I started reading the reviews I made... cringe overload.
