As someone who has never played the game but certainly wants to and _definitely_ wants a remake: *1)* I believe the intended implication with Peach’s castle being completely unchanged from before the invasion (aside from the time holes, obviously) was of course it’s fine right now, the bros already saved it in the past. Though I agree, it feels like it shouldn’t be the only place you can visit in the present. Having some kind of hub area at all just feels weird for an _M&L_ game. _Other_ areas in the Mushroom Kingdom, though, those should absolutely be explorable in the present, and for them, I am completely down for seeing them in varying states of disrepair depending on what’s happening in the past, and the citizens along with them. Time travel plots are always tricky is the thing. *2)* I think the extra Shroob lore could be handled just as well or even better in a new side campaign like AlphaDream’s remakes started doing. And to just rip this bandaid off right away, I think the new side campaign should center around Fawful. I mean the dude _did_ end up having a full-blown character arc over the course of the original trilogy to the point you could almost call him the main antagonist. And his companion for that campaign should be a very knowledgeable Shroob infiltrating the present to get any pertinent information on the enemy who gives Fawful a pass once he makes it clear he is no ally to the Mushroom Kingdom. Actually I’ll just say it, I want to blend this concept with the time travel already featured in the main story to get some backstory for Fawful and further development on Cackletta. But, hey, we can potentially get some Shroob lore alongside this, too. Just my two very heavy cents. 🖖🍄💜

Approved.

I don’t want a remake of PiT in the style of Brothership. Superstar Saga and Bowsers inside story had that Dream Team style of last decade. Brothership looks ew.

I 100% agree! It’s certainly the most unique out of the Mario and Luigi franchise!

PiT getting a modern remake would make me reeeeeeeeeally happy! The only tweaks I'd want would be that the bros moves wouldn't be locked to items (because PiT made that weird change for some reason)

I unbiasedly agree. No bias. None. I think Mario and Luigi Partners in Time should be the only game available to humanity tbh.

It deserved it WAY more than BIS, let’s be honest here. What I wouldn’t have given for a 3DS remake…

Hey! I know you mentioned that it's only got a physical release on the DS, but it was also released on the Wii U! Yeah I know not a lot of people have the Wii U but it's also worth a mention. Love the attention to PiT though!

I'm all over the place on this one. Brothership isn't selling as well as I hoped, likely thanks to many factors (bad economy, lots of JRPGs recently including DQ and Metaphor, Mario RPG fatigue/backlog from SMRPG and TTYD and Brothership all in one year, the game leaked for pirates at least a week early, and IGN gave it a damn outlier 5 when the author/fan's own criticisms merited a 6 at worst). I genuinely worry if this series and new devs have legs to still stand on if M&L flops again. Accessibility isn't really a good argument for specifically PiT cuz that applies to literally every game in existence, and these prices aren't even really that bad, plus DS/3DS are easy to pirate, emulate and flashcart. Both the combat issues and balancing difficulty were something I fell in love with when I first played this game as a kid, though it was also my first game in the series, but playing future entries didn't really retrospectively push me away from the item system, just seeing it as an alternate system. After all, no matter the entry, you're still mostly spamming Bros Attacks, whether through items or BP, except for PJ where I had to do a lot more balancing between all my possible options. The whole thing with adding to the story and lore doesn't feel right, that feels like more of Paper Mario's thing, which is exactly what M&L is trying to not be, instead more spur of the moment (and more technically limited). Small textboxes, limited dialogue overall, smaller games overall (all 3 largely technical limitations), forming a unique series identity, all of these, at least from my view, formed M&L into a series less focused on strict worldbuilding and tons of exposition like PM has. On the other hand, lack of DS functionality, that's pretty true. However, all the little things still add up, like cutscenes and attacks crossing between and using both screens and the overall UI. And dow that you remind me of and mention it, the general gist of the time travel was kinda empty, so some extra details or dialogue to commit more, while taking care of potential plot holes as they arise, would be nice. Overall, kinda like someone else said, this feels somewhere between a remake and a sequel. An FF7R style remake would definitely allow for a lot of these kinds of changes, but FF7 is a lot more popular, the remake is still relatively controversial with its changes and has reportedly been kinda bloated. PiT is up there with DT as my favorite M&L games and some of my overall favorites (all the other games is close behind, yes, even PJ), but I worry about FF7R-style changes being made to an already pretty controversial game, especially since the dust around Acquire's work on Brothership still hasn't quite settled yet on if it's up to snuff. Good video!

We do need one, or a sequel of it? There are the frozen shroobs in Bowsers castle in BiS and the one in Fawful theater a little before you fight Midbus. We never knew why or how bowser managed to prison the ENTIRE shroob race in a freezer. (Hope you recover soon)

This does kinda sound like a lot for a remake. Like i know FFVII Remake is a thing, but Nintendo usually doesn’t make remakes that would be *that* drastic EDIT: I’m wondering maybe the PiT remake would be like a Sonic X Shadow Generations deal, with a more faithful main game and a sub game that much of the work was put into and gets all the marketing …i guess. But then again Shadow Gens is more like a Bowser’s Minions/Bowser Jr’s Journey side story thing than a massive expansion of the main game type thing

my favorite game of all time i remember 10 year old me being heart broken knowing that my favorite game wouldnt get a remake i have so many ideas on how to improve drastically so i can only imagine what they can come up with

Here's an idea so far for Mario and Luigi Partners Across Time and Space So the Shroobs are ALIENS... The Space part... Why not some of the rifts actually take you to OTHER PLANETS? Perhaps planets Shroobs colonized and/or taken over! Or with your idea of that one Shroob tired of the war, what if he isolates himself on another planet? In this reboot I'm thinking of making like a Prince Shroob to and he could be the antagonist for Fawful in his game mode. In Fawfuls Game Mode I also wish to add how he met Midbus and the Fitness Friends

Partners in time is objectively the best one in the series, shocked they didnt remake it.

Idc what anyone says- Partners in Time is my favorite of the series.

is it mario party advance? (i didn't watch the video yet?)

Imagine if they remade that game using a 3D engine; we could finally see our favorite alien mushrooms in HD and 4K, complete with great cutscenes and funny voice acting, which is basically gibberish.

See in regards to the story, the ending makes Partners in Time a stable time loop. That said in a remake, since the Shroobs are supposed to be doing a planetary invasion, what's happening in Sarasland, the DK Isles, etc. We could follow Kylie Koopa in a side adventure like they did with the superstar saga and Bowser's inside story, or see use Kamek and Baby Bowser to see how the world is being effected in past of the mushroom kingdom. Really there are ways to expand on the story without basically killing the stable time loop Partners in Time makes at the end of the game. Also, wish they had actually done something like the Shroob language getting translated in like a new game plus, as a reward for beating the game. Another way to kind of make it so we always understand the shroob language is through the use of E. Gadd having put some fancy translation device in stuffwell.

Postgame or some kind of DLC should expand on the whole "Bowser has frozen Shroobs in his basement" thing

I would like to see this game be remade, but in the style of Mario and Luigi Brothership. Brothership already has ALOT of areas that are super similar in visual design and theme to partners in time (the first great lighthouse / the boss designs / the tone / Especially the final final dungeon in the game). I also think they should give it a gameplay overhaul. Like, make the babies more useful or adding bros points to the game.

If they do bring it back they better make it pixelated

your whole concept of solving puzzles in the past and impacting the future/present is done flawlessly in Chrono Trigger because you can choose the time periods whenever you want once you get the Epoch/Black Omen appearing

Imagine how dark this game would be on the big screen cuz the game itself is pretty effed up

A shroob slowly getting closer while telling me health tips was not on my November bingo card

i am a proud owner of the game cartridge, I have played several times on my ds and would love a remake

How about exploring an entire haunted town?

i dont think it will be remade. they will just put ds titles on nso and this one will be one of them

I wish there was a proper Time Travel Mario and Luigi. I always saw Partners in Time as a more Alien invasion type story, time travel just happened to be there. Like I don’t want to just explore the present and past, but the future. So yeah Partners in Time was a disappointment in terms of the time travel. But yeah I would like to see Partners in Time in the unreal engine brothership style Maybe they can make a direct sequel to Partners in Time called Partners Across Time and they go to the future and not the past this time. Idk 😅

When I play partners in time I never like it

I want a Paper Jam Bros Remake was my First Mario and Luigi and i love this Game even tho everyone hates it idc

I want villagers to be assholes again. I don’t care if it’s supposed to be a cute and silly escapism game. I want enemies!

20:00 or, what if they took the Origami King approach with Bowser's Castle, where you see them battling the enemy shroobs, and you can join their battles to help them out.

Reason 6... what if the remake you left the OG NA version as a hypothetical "hard mode" for the remake. you get two styles of gameplay. Partners in Time style with Bros items, and a BP system known as Classic mode. The Hard Mode, would use the NA version of the game, but maybe slightly harder as a way to help make the game stand out. Now your standard game would not change much, and not be super hard, but relatively difficult in fairness, while Hard Mode would actually make the game harder, unlike how Dream Team is honestly easy in the later areas as early game is far more brutal on hard mode. (more save files like how brothership has 5 save slots) As a bonus, They could even have a secret extreme mode that is locked until you beat the game on hard mode.

I love it and i love it even more that this is game is released on my exact birthday

what if as you played the game, Peach's Castle slowly gets more and more distorted the second you return to the present. It starts out small, like say you can find a few hidden Shroob carpets nearby, and other stuff, and as you get closer and closer to the end of the game, the more Peach's castle gets warped into the Shroobs image. The characters realize it, and when you go directly to the past, you are now free to tackle the shroob castle in it's full design. Also... what if you also got to see distorted versions of each location. (This is where Bowser Junior (or another character), with the help of some friends/allies, travels to Shroobified versions of the various locations. Toad Town, Holijolli Village, Vim Woods, Gritzy Desert, Thwomp Volcano, etc... Or heck, what if in this new version of the game, Mario and Luigi get corrupted by some time powers and have to use it on certain places to travel to the present, and possibly the future. (sort of like Sonic CD) You travel to each area, and can travel to the present versions, and you have to defeat a boss in both the past and the bad future. This future would make it look different than normal. For example, Vim's Forest and Vim Factory. In the past you fight against Swiggler, in the present, you get a regular wiggler, and in the future you get a Purple Robotic Wiggler. Maybe what the 4 heroes have to deal with is the Shroobs attacking in the past, and them returning in the future. In a sense, the shroobs were all defeated in the past, and yet their planet is still around. and it's possible there are more out there. What if instead of a remake, we got a sequel, that has the bros, along with Bowser (who plays a secondary protagonist role, as they actually use Bowser's own Airship to storm space, and restore various planets/worlds that have been corrupted by the Shroobs influence. (For conquers... they only targetted the Mushroom Kingdom, I'd think they have taken over many other locations prior to attacking the mushroom kingdom. The shroobs want revenge, so they attack and force the bros and Bowser to escape their homes. As a bonus, Bowser Junior is also there as an ally as well as Kamek. Bowser's Elite Minions (the ones we see in Paper Jam (King Boo, King Bob-omb, Petey Piranha, Koopalings, + Elite Trio get captured and mostly appear on the side mode starring Bowser Junior and Kamek.) The goal of the heroes is to actually rescue Peach, as she was beamed away by the shroobs and taken to their home planet, where their goal is to actually transform her into a Princess Shroob herself, so they can send her back to the mushroom kingdom, and conquer it as one of them. This is where Bowser also makes his own plan. Realizing what needs to be done, he doesn't tell the bros of his plan as he knows they probably won't want to do it. (Bowser's plan is to blow up the Shroob Planet itself, wiping out any Shroobs that are left alive... full on Shroob elimination)

I agree that it deserves a remake.

you don't want a remake, you want a reboot. i get it. i too want a game that just rewrites the entire story because of how empty it is (and add more gameplay stuff)

I dont think that the alien friend thing work, i mean at the game's big finale Mario & Luigi erased the last hope of the shroobs as a race

Oh yeah! This game, for SURE deserves a modern remake!

I’m actually replaying through partners in time at the moment so I would absolutely love a remake for my first and favourite Mario & Luigi game

My fav Game of all time

Y’know what would be a good thing for a remake of PiT to do? The complete removal of Shrowser and his boss fight. Now, I’ve never actually played Partners in Time (my only experience with the Mario & Luigi series is Dream Team), but I’ve seen at least a video or two talking about how Shrowser is an underwhelming final boss and that Elder Princess Shroob should’ve taken the role instead. So with that in mind, I came up with how they could handle it in the remake. Have Elder Princess Shroob be the final boss of the game and when her mushroom gets eaten by Bowser, he starts off boasting about how much stronger he’s gotten from it only to immediately get sick from EPS’s mushroom form’s wretched flavor before quickly vomiting out her essence

I think it would be cool if we got unique shroob characters for the side mode. A story about shroobs who defect to live rather than to sustain a monarchy who sees em as numbers. It would fit the army auto battler as you are fighting hordes of enemies and strategizing before hand. Just something more unique than before.

Something that really annoys me about the Mario sports and party games is that they don’t take advantage of how many characters the series has. We could get shroobs, Fawful and Dimentio as characters in Mario kart and people would freak out but instead we get fucking pink gold peach. One thing I actually will commend Mario Tenis ultra smash for is that they made a Sprixe princess playable. That’s pretty cool. Cappy hasn’t even gotten that treatment

the fact that the only complaint i have for partners in time is the minor issue that i didn't like that bros moves were tied to items you buy at a store instead of using bro points says a LOT about how good it was

There’s a pretty popular fan theory that King Boo is Bowser. The reason for this is because Luigi’s mansion was King Boos first appearance, but he says that he wants revenge on Mario and Luigi for “all the trouble he caused them in the past” but again this was his first appearance so this mysterious previous event we have no idea what he’s referring to. The fortuneteller in the mansion says that she thought Mario had killed Bowser and then there’s King Boo using a Bowser suit during the final boss for no explained reason. Is this theory true? Probably not but it is cool
