A new type of venture into the Mario RPG realm. This game has alot more
of an action element, especially since you need to have quick reflexes
when you battle. Unlike the other Mario RPGs where you start as Mario
and other characters join your team, you play as just Mario and Luigi
from basically the start. Travel across a decent sized area, buying
items, talking to people, solving different types of puzzles, and
battling in a turn-based system. The turn-based battle system is where
the game leaves the normal realm of Mario RPGs. You still have a basic
battle attack, but in place of special attacks are Bros. Attacks, in
which Mario and Luigi team up for the attack, these require use of
Bros. Points. While doing these moves you have to click the a and b
buttons in a certain order at a precise time,
you can select before you attack the difficulty of the attack, which
will make it harder to press all the buttons at the right time. But if
you do, the attacks force will be greater.
You also have the ability to dodge enemy attacks, as you can make Mario
and Luigi jump by pressing a and b. This can make the game much easier
if you can get it down.
When walking around the world, you control both Mario and Luigi,
one button will control one, and another button the other. They will
get moves in the world environment, jump moves, attack moved, etc.
Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga is a new type of Mario RPG, which has
spawned a sequel for the DS, and is sure to spawn many more.
