Mario and Luigi: Partners In Time an insane sequel to the classic adventure starring the heroic brothers! In this sequel to Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, the brothers travel back in time to retrieve Princess Peach, only to come face to face with baby versions of themselves, the princess and Bowser. They'll team up with their younger selves for a quest of lunatic proportions!

Very nice graphics for a mario game and it reminded me of games and the evolution of technology over the years. I'm one of those "old-school" gamers that still loves the classics like Earthbound(SNES) and Mario RPG. Overall: a very god game that I recommend to anyone looking for a cartoon-style game with a reward for being able to time jumps for those older gamers that want to stick with a certain series(Mario in this case).

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Well, since I just purchased this game AFTER purchasing Mario & Luigi: Bowswers Inside Story, I see where they got the concept. Partners in Time was done pretty much the same way, where you start off by going to Peach's castle, then she's kidnapped and Mario & Luigi must save her! (there's a shocker for any mario/zelda game huh? lol) Anyway, the fight scenes are identical to the new Bowser inside story game where you don't actively do the fighting, you are given choices for Mario, he attacks, then given choices for Luigi, he attacks, (yea, I know there's a name for this type of game play, but....) Anyway, I love it and so does my 8 yr. old granddaughter, well worth the price ( I purchased a used copy) Great game for young & old! Also great for my DS collection of Mario games, 6 so far and if ya wanna include Princess Peach & DK, then make that 8...yes, I'm a nut for the classics!

This game is not a typical Mario game. It's not fast paced and it's not very complex. It's a great story with a lot of humor and insider jokes that long time Nintendo fans will appreciate. The game is very long, you get your moneys worth out of it. It consists of Mario and Luigi, and their younger selves going through time portals trying to collect pieces of the puzzle to rescue Princess Peach. The action sequences are turn based, timing related. There isn't any use of the touch screen, however the top screen serves as a map and occasionally action scenes.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time is even better than it's predeccessor, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. This game has and even better battle system, the boss battles are longer and more challenging. Before this game, I was getting sick of boss battles that could be beaten in less than 2 minutes. This game makes the boss battles harder too. It's also a long adventure that will take you around 25 hours to complete, and it's worth replaying. Overall, this is one of the top 3 Nintendo DS games. I rate this game 94.5/100.

I have owned about 20 different games for the DS, and this is one of the top 5. It is clever and fun, a game that you can play in 10 minute spurts, or can sit there playing it for 90 minutes straight at the end of the day. It is a solid Nintendo title.
