I can't choose between Super Mario RPG legend of the Seven Stars Super Mario Bros Superstar Saga Mario & Luigi partners in Time Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story Mario and Luigi Dream Team they're all amazing and great games in my mind and I can't choose between them which is the best Super Mario RPG game
Imo they probably made a remake of m&l bis to get make more money as a last ditch effort to get out of debt but eventually went bankrupt but hopefully Nintendo make more M&L games and a remake of M&L PIT
Well the first problem is the story & through it's progression. I know the story isn't the most important thing in a video game. But the way the story was told is confusing & makes no sense. I can give it credit for trying to be more creepy & sci-fi like of an story, but the way they executed is kinda poorly & doesn't give us any good explanation. For example. Why is Princess & Elder Princess Shroob the only group of Shroobs that can also speak English & not the othwr Shroobs? How did Peach manage to use the Star Shard to lock the Elder Princess Shroob inside of it without an guide or explanation of how that works? Why didn't the people warn the heroes about the awareness of the Star Shard that's keeping the evil being inside of the shard? Why is Elder Princess Shroob a thing? The game never explain anything. Second problem is the way to control both Adult & Baby Mario Bros. is hard to keep up & too much to handle. I don't mind having more than just 2 Mario Bros. to join the party & having them as there piggyback. I just wish there were better ways to handle it. Bowser's Inside Story fixes that sort of issue. Third problem is the game is straight forward, has no extra areas in the world or sidequest & useless minigames for no any good rewards that u work hard on. U know how every RPG games does that sort of things that u can do on your spare time to get the amount of goodies and stuff? Partners in Time doesn't have many of that. Sometimes you can go back to the world u already travel to. But there's no extra areas on that world to explore more for an item as yor reward. And the Mushroom Kingdom as your hub world is completely empty & useless. Yeah. They have item shop. But most of them are either expensive, isn't that much useful or just being there is completely unsatisfying. The only thing that you can do is visit Fawful Shop to do things. But even that is pointless. And the minigames are lacking. I get what they were doing, but most minigames are worthless and the rewards once again felt underwhelming. Superstar Saga had all the that. So why couldn't do the same to Partners in Time? Fourth problem is how the Item Bros Attack are utilize. Now I do like the idea of the Item Bros Attack as your Super Attack. I thought it was an unique & cool gimmick to use of making it more fun & interesting. But the way they executed is just stupid. Having them being limited instead of being unlimited, trying to press buttons with all 4 characters in there own single button to get an higher damage, grinding through enemies just hoping to get that Item Bros. & buying at the Item Shop in the Mushroom Kingdom with some items maybe available or not is just an huge waste. I know that every Mario & Luigi games has an Super Attack that does sort of things as well. But at least those were pretty simple, it has an option an showing you how it works, keeping the buttons simple & they are unlimited with there MP to see how much u have left. Partners in Time Super Attack felt like an chore & it is just an waste. Again. I like the idea of the Item Bros Attack. But the way they work is lacklustering. Lastly, the bosses take way too long to kill. Again, I will give them credit for having an unique bosses in there pattern. The way they constructed on the bosses makes it pretty interesting. But man! Do they take so long to get all there HP to go all the way down. Even if you use those Item Bros to deal more damage on the bosses, they still drag longer. I rather have the bosses be done quickly than spending more than 6 or 7 minutes on those bosses with non-phases that drags. Those are the critism I have with Partners in Time & I'm pretty sure alot of people complaints about those I mention as well. Now I don't think Partners in Time is an bad game by all means. It's not. And it's not even the worst Mario RPG. That honor goes to Paper Mario: Sticker Star. But I will say it is the weakest of the Mario & Luigi games ( not counting Paper Jam ). It does have many of it's flaws that I wish it could've been fixed & been an much better experience of an game. There are some things I do like about the game. But there many others that throws me off. Again. It's not an trash or terrible game. It's fine as it is. But it is nowhere near as great as other Mario RPGs like Superstar Saga, Bowser's Inside Story, The Thousand Year Door or Paper Mario 64 or any Mario games in general has. Heck. I even rather play Dream Team, Super Mario RPG, Super Paper Mario & Color Splash over Partners in Time. If u like the game, than that's fine. But I just couldn't get into Partners in Time all that much.
It didn't sell well because of everything else coming out at the time. DOing that is like if SEGA didn't make sonic boom fire and ice. which they did make fire and ice despite the other 2 boom games failing.
This was my first Mario and Luigi game, and I still love it dearly. I actually hated it when I was younger, because I thought it was the most difficult RPG ever. But back then, I never grinded, and I avoided most enemies (oops). I was severely under leveled... and hoo boy was the final boss a nightmare... But!! I managed to finish the game several years later, and I’m grateful that I learned from my mistakes. I actually grew to love the game again, and now it’s probably one of my favourite Mario RPGs ever. Sorry, I didn’t mean to go on a tangent there, because it isn’t entirely related to the video. But you can’t tell how happy I was to see this pop up in my recommended! Keep up the great work, man :)
I was like level 24 when I fought the final boss and got annihilated, but my brother is amazing at all games so he beat it despite being cripplingly under leveled! That was one of the best moments of my childhood yeara
This is my favorite game in the Mario & Luigi series, and it's all because of the fun interactions between the bros. and the babies. Baby Luigi helping Luigi find his courage is just so dang sweet.
For anyone wondering, the one touch screen required bit is used to stop piracy, emulators didn't used to be able to use the touch screen, every game in the series has an anti piracy measure like this, mics in the next one and tilt in the 4th if I remember correctly, don't remember anything like that in the 5th
In the DS emulator that I use, it allows for use of touchscreens. It also lets you use a button for the mic, but it's a bit finicky and doesn't always work.
@@robertofenloch9595 yeah but at the time this game released they didn't, similar to why they changed to mic controls in inside story for the next one, because mics weren't working on emulators, once that started working they went to tilt, not sure if emulators do tilt controls atm
I played a (legit) version of BiS on Desmume, I had to toy with the settings quite a few times and I can confirm it has a lot more anti-piracy measures than any other DS. games ... The game also lags a lot on its own for no reason it's kinda funny. I hope they had done the same with the DS Pokemon games ; that would have helped a lot with how much these have been/are being pirated :/
As much as I don't like Partners in Time, I would've agreed that they should've remake that game than Bowser's Inside Story. Because honestly, Partners in Time has many flaws that needs to be fixed.
This game is by far the worst. And not in the "it's still good, but just not as good as the others" like you could say for other series. Partners in Time is straight up garbage. EDIT: I just remembered Dream Team. _That's_ the worst in this franchise, and also garbage. But Partners in Time is a close second.
I had this game but I can't remember beating it I want to say I did but I don't remember anything from this game. I never finished paper jam I never liked that game and I never played dream team but I plan to someday.
In bowser inside story there is a callback to partners in time and even some enemies are frozen in bowser castle that you can fight (i'm even sure that they have the battle music from partners in time and you get a special attack from them)
I want to say thank you for reviewing my favorite game in the Mario and Luigi series. It really gives me joy. I'm just glad that you uploaded this at this time. I've been going through a rough time recently after feeling super suicidal from my first year in high school. I just want you to know, I thank you.
Jirard even if I can’t always watch your videos you will always hold a special place in my heart for being the first youtuber that made me consistently want to come back to watch. I love the content you and Alex make, and I deeply appreciate this look into one of my most nostalgic and beloved games. Thank you for all you do, you blessed beardman!
@@killerkiller9058 my first time playing It i managed to get so under level that egg monster was real hard to beat, taking like way too much minutes to get rid of It, if i didnt died already.
This was my first Mario & Luigi game, it holds a deep place in my childhood. Too bad they skipped remaking it. Thanks for honoring this game by dedicating an entire episode of The Completionist too it.
Lawboy 4000 That’s exactly why. I believe that Thousand Year Door is the best Mario RPG, but there isn’t a Mario and Luigi game that’s as bad as Sticker Star
This game ruled, it took me 4 playthroughs to put it down. I love how the mario rpgs implement timed actions in combat & platforming outside it. Great vid brobocop!
Oh my god this video was such a nostalgia trip! Partners in time is kinda special for me cause it was my first ever DS game that came bundled with my DS when I bought it. I really didnt want this game at the time. I had saved up enough to buy the DS starter kit bundle which came with a game but not enough to buy all the stuff individually so I was stuck with only the game in the bundle until I saved up more. The bundle I wanted was gone so I had to pick from the last few that I really didn't want. I went with Mario only because I had no familiarity with the other games and really came to love it! My sis & I used to lay on the floor, take turns and watch each other play. It was so much fun. We ran into a wall for the final boss and just could not beat it! Taking a break we moved onto other games and never went back to finish it and I sold it somewhere along the way. I miss it though. I really wanna go back and buy a copy sometime...
This was the only Mario & Luigi series game I played, and I love to see the babies from the spin-offs I play actually team up with the bros, and see that they're not alone in the Mushroom Kingdom before Galaxy showed up I think, while also giving us a time travel adventure.
Man, I have a special place in my heart for this game. Back when I was like 10, the only console I owned was a ps1, so games like these were limited to what I could emulate. But this was one of the two games available in the demo DS' there were in a mall I would go with my parents every weekend, so every weekend I would advance little by little trying to manage with what would be left of people playing during the week...till someone deleted the save in the last dungeon Thanks whoever did that, I still remember it 13 years later
That doesn't always mean it's a good game compared to Superstar Saga & Bowser's Inside Story. Partners in Time is without a doubt the worst Mario & Luigi game.
JJ C I think Bowser’s Inside Story is... the second worst. Bowser as a playable character? Done that. Mushroom Kingdom with no variation? Boo. Fawful? He was good as a henchman and a cameo, and now you expect me to believe he’s gone full villain leader? Except for Dream Team, I’d rank the other games over BiS. Yes, I DID say that.
Since Jirard said it, I want to be clear that a Mario and Luigi game but starring Wario and Waluigi instead is literally one of my biggest dreams that Nintendo will forever leave unfulfilled.
We need a Super Mario RPG remake for the Switch! And maybe with a post game story that lets us go up to lv 60 for the final boss. Kinda like Final Fantasy 4 the after years type of content add on. Or something like that.
the Alien language used in partners in time is just a cheap ripoff of the Mr. Saturn language from the Mother series. The big difference is you can actually read the Mr. Saturn Letters.
This whole game felt like a never ending beginners tutorial with all the hand holding and how linear it was. I was in denial for the first few hours and thought that maybe there was gonna finally be an exploration aspect, but that never happened. I even thought that maybe there was gonna be a post game with actual challenges and more to do, but nah
Hey, the Patreon cameo actually had something interesting to say this time! That's awesome. Now if only the editors would do some Picture-in-Picture to highlight what he was talking about as he was talking about it, it would make the whole cameo segments really good and not embarrass their Patreons...
Darkness Level of Mario RPG Super Mario RPG: Somewhat Paper Mario: None Superstar Saga: None Thousand-Year Door: Somewhat (Sorry, but Twilight Town, Dooplis, and the music if the door) Partners in Time: Hella Super Paper Mario: Hella Bowser's Inside Story: Somewhat Dream Team: Somewhat Paper Jam: I haven't played Paper Jam
Close paper jam gets to being remotely dark with acting like you may have left the Bowser jr.s ready to die then doing nothing with it but having Bowser consumed in anger to almost kill peach and then nothing else it probably the least dark
If this game ever got a remake it could thrive through some of the following: - More cameos from other characters in their past forms. - More unlockable areas within peaches castle as the game progresses (such as a room for boss rush for example). - More collectibles and reasons to return to past areas. - Maybe some exploration of the present areas. - Bosses with less health and stronger attacks.
Super Underrated. I loved the battles with the babies, loved the darker story, and didn’t mind the fact that bro moves were items. I would say it’s better than Paper Jam and Superstar Saga.
One thing I'm kinda bummed out about is that in the Japanese and I think maybe the European version of this game has an extra song in the end credits that plays when the picture shows and it is one of the most underrated songs in all of mario and this song dosen't exist in the data of the north American version one thing I should also mention is that in the Japanese and European version the bosses and difficulty of this game is much easier for example the final boss has a total of around 7k HP in the Japanese and European version the final boss has half of the total HP so yeah the NTSC version is much harder that the Japanese and PAL versions
My favorite playthrough was ONLY defeating boss fights and other can't-skip fights (I'm no speed-runner or glitch-master). Elder Princess Shroob took a couple hours to beat, there was no way to destroy all tentacles before she re-healed so I just went for her head with repetitive moves (yes, I did 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-.....-1-1 until she died).
I had never known you made this video. As an avid fan of this game (Got a poster above my computer) I got the BIGGEST grin on my face when I discovered this video existed
This is still my fav mario RPG ever, I love this game to the core and I am VERY sad that it isnt getting a remake like super star saga and bowsers inside story.
Now all we need is a Bowser's Inside Story Completionist episode and everything would be complete. Wait, even better: A Completionist review for the upcoming Bowser's Inside Story Remake!
ah the only game where a "Princess"actualy successes in doing what they wanted. Peach: wanna go to a party get kidnaped, wanna be on a festival gets kidnapped again. Princess Shroob: takes over the whole kingdom and she DOES! best princess ever
Please do a video on Bowser's Inside Story, that one is my favorite. And you can still do Dream Team and Paper Jam. You'll never run out of Mario games lol
6:12 Poor Younger E.Gadd gets forgotten. This game also reveals where Luigi's Mansion takes place when Younger E.Gadd mentions where he plans on going to build a lab to study Ghosts.
It's a shame how under-appreciated this game really is. It's always been my favorite in this particular series. I loved the first GBA game and was stoked when I learned a sequel was coming out. All of the games have good mechanics but the four-party combat in this title in particular is the best the series has to offer in my opinion with my only real complaint being switching Bros. Moves to consumable items. It's way too easy to have a huge stockpile of the best attacks, making any challenge mostly redundant.
As the second Mario RPG game I ever played, ironically after Bowser’s Inside Story, I have plenty of fond memories. My greatest complaint is that there really isn’t anything to do once you’re done. No arena, no extra final boss that has additional prerequisites, nothin’. Still it was a fun time for sure.
I know this isn't related to the video, but you should do a DLC episode on Breath of The Wild, Champions' Ballad, or just all the DLC in a DLC video. I would love to see that. Good videos as always.
The one thing I remember about this game is the nebulous origin of Bowser JR. Main line Mario series says he is Bowser's son, this game said he is Bowser himself as a kid...
Oh god yes,the series that I had wanted to play for so long when I was young. Didn't have a day but loved super star so much I grinded way to much, mostly grinded because my r and l buttons didn't work so I was stuck in specific parts. Although when I first heard of partners in time was when I first got onto the internet........such hurtful nostalgia......
This game was my childhood and I still love it to this day, I'm excited for the New Game Plus of Bowser's Inside Story cuz I remember you saying that you completed it before in a video.
Now I thought about it, PiT has a few similarities to Earthbound: the way enemies approach you and how they can have the first hit if they get you from behind, Aliens from another Planet taking over and fighting them throughout the game, and don't forget that you also have to go to the past to fight the final boss, with multiple phases. I'm not saying that PiT matches up with the wierdness Earthbound has, but they just seem alike.
I have a soft spot for this game; the final boss fight music was absolutely phenomenal, and I remember pausing just to listen to it. That said, I feel like the Vim Factory level is REALLY goddamn dark. I mean, Toads are being encased by trees that absorb their vim (their 'mushroom power', take of that as you will) which is sent to the factory to be 'refined'. And part of this refinement process causes the ghosts(?) of Toads to appear and you can see them travelling down the pipes in latter sections of the factory. This is being used to power their UFOs, by the way. The blood/souls of mushroom people. FAMILY FRIENDLY GAME EVERYONE

What is your favorite Mario RPG?
I can't choose between Super Mario RPG legend of the Seven Stars Super Mario Bros Superstar Saga Mario & Luigi partners in Time Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story Mario and Luigi Dream Team they're all amazing and great games in my mind and I can't choose between them which is the best Super Mario RPG game
Bowsers inside story
You know, Jirard, you still haven't completed any of the Mario Party's :)
That could be interesting.
I enjoyed the original Paper Mario the most.
STICKER STAR
Bowser's Inside Story for sure
You made me wanna play this game again. Great video as always!
PeanutButterGamer Hey PBG how is your day going?
Do yu rily? ??
Peebs make another Zelda video! haha jk today's was really awesome take your time on them :)
Peebs are we friends?
I prefer bowser inside story because I actually didn't play this game. Welp time to go to ebay. Also happy end of zelda month.
This game is so underrated that they skipped a remake :(
Imo they probably made a remake of m&l bis to get make more money as a last ditch effort to get out of debt but eventually went bankrupt but hopefully Nintendo make more M&L games and a remake of M&L PIT
Bobcat_ Mike I don’t think that Partners in Time will ever a remake lol
Nintendo... Bankrupt... what a lie
Jake Geho alpha dream went bankrupt back in October 2019 they made MARIO and Luigi it was licensed by nintendo
Jake Geho bruh.. do you know anything?
I always felt like this game got a bad rap. I’ve always loved it most out of the Mario and Luigi games. I still replay it often to this day.
Same😁
And it has 2x the Toadsworth! (i'm very biased of that shroom)
It's has it's criticism & it is one of the reason why it's the worst of the series.
Well the first problem is the story & through it's progression. I know the story isn't the most important thing in a video game. But the way the story was told is confusing & makes no sense.

Why didn't the people warn the heroes about the awareness of the Star Shard that's keeping the evil being inside of the shard? Why is Elder Princess Shroob a thing? The game never explain anything.
Second problem is the way to control both Adult & Baby Mario Bros. is hard to keep up & too much to handle. I don't mind having more than just 2 Mario Bros. to join the party & having them as there piggyback. I just wish there were better ways to handle it. Bowser's Inside Story fixes that sort of issue.
Third problem is the game is straight forward, has no extra areas in the world or sidequest & useless minigames for no any good rewards that u work hard on. U know how every RPG games does that sort of things that u can do on your spare time to get the amount of goodies and stuff? Partners in Time doesn't have many of that.

But I just couldn't get into Partners in Time all that much.
The Ponderer I wish I could replay it again but I lost my R4
Still my favourite M&L game, still upset that it didn’t get a remake though...
It probably will after the BIS Remake.
I was pissed they skipped it...
Exactly
It didn't sell well because of everything else coming out at the time. DOing that is like if SEGA didn't make sonic boom fire and ice.
which they did make fire and ice despite the other 2 boom games failing.
They just wanted to remake the best selling first to secure it. If the 3DS might still hang in there for a bit longer we will see PiT's remake
I remember playing this when I was like 7 years old and I was never able to beat the Shroom Princess... to this day, I still haven't beaten it.
Get back to it, Dood. You could probably do it now
Same with me with cackletta in the first game, got my ass handed to me and I gave up
i have and i first played the game last year. beat the game in a week.
That happened to me but w/ the dark star in Bowser's Inside story just because of mashing, then my game were stolen so maybe in the remake?
BIG MOOOD

One of the most underrated Mario and Luigi game. To bad this game doesn't get a remake :(
Bowser's Inside Story gets a remake but not Partners in Time? Bummer.
I hope they’ll make a “Mario & Luigi Collection” in 5-10 years that has the first five games.
As much as I don't like Partners in Time, I would've agreed that they should've remake that game than Bowser's Inside Story. Because honestly, Partners in Time has many flaws that needs to be fixed.

Julian0505z yea about that ... 😥😢😭
18:57 This is probably the first time I've actually heard him swear. Huh...
Can't wait for you to do Bowser's inside Story
@CookedMaruchan Its Not Just You That Thinks That
Still waiting
The Mario RPGs are my bread and butter, and this one is still amazing. I love how the bros interact with the babies throughout the whole thing.
Man. I wish I got to play this game when I was younger.
Same, but from what I've seen in a walk through, it was such a shock to me!
You still can you know but you've been spoiled so....
I wish this game was as good as the first one
This was part of my childhood and oh boy do I relish it
Honestly, you're not missing much.
Oh boy, this game. Idk about you guys, but I consider this to be the black sheep of the Mario and Luigi series, and the one I remember most.

This thing needs to be on Switch
Nintendo can't as alphadream went bankrupt with the failure of the BiS remake
12:19 this explains why he has legs in smash
Partners in time is definitely underrated. The combat has more variety and is more interesting than superstar saga
I sure hope so since it's the sequel to it
In bowser inside story there is a callback to partners in time and even some enemies are frozen in bowser castle that you can fight (i'm even sure that they have the battle music from partners in time and you get a special attack from them)

I'm guessing he'll wait till the remake comes out.

18:57 He forgot to put in the beep
F*ck
Woahhhh it’s weird to hear him say fuck. I like it
Ahhhhh 12:19 - 12:22
So that’s where that move comes from for piranha plant move set in SSBU.
I want to say thank you for reviewing my favorite game in the Mario and Luigi series. It really gives me joy. I'm just glad that you uploaded this at this time. I've been going through a rough time recently after feeling super suicidal from my first year in high school. I just want you to know, I thank you.
Hey brotha keep ur chin up good times are ahead. Afterall this game may get remastered soon :)
Jirard even if I can’t always watch your videos you will always hold a special place in my heart for being the first youtuber that made me consistently want to come back to watch. I love the content you and Alex make, and I deeply appreciate this look into one of my most nostalgic and beloved games. Thank you for all you do, you blessed beardman!

You forgot young E. Gadd.
The Mario RPGs are my bread and butter, and this one is still amazing.
I loved playing this when I was younger
Same here till got stuck on yoshi island
@@killerkiller9058 my first time playing It i managed to get so under level that egg monster was real hard to beat, taking like way too much minutes to get rid of It, if i didnt died already.
This was my first Mario & Luigi game, it holds a deep place in my childhood. Too bad they skipped remaking it. Thanks for honoring this game by dedicating an entire episode of The Completionist too it.
18:57 JIRARD YOU CURSED!
I frickin love the Won’t Get Fooled Again screams randomly put in. Im a huge The Who fan so much appreciated
UNPOPULAR OPINION TIME:
I like the Mario and Luigi Series more than the Paper Mario Series.
Ikr
I actually haven’t tried the Paper Mario games yet
Tbh even though I personally don’t agree, judging the current state of the Paper Mario series, I can see why you think that.
that's not unpopular.
Lawboy 4000 That’s exactly why. I believe that Thousand Year Door is the best Mario RPG, but there isn’t a Mario and Luigi game that’s as bad as Sticker Star
This game ruled, it took me 4 playthroughs to put it down. I love how the mario rpgs implement timed actions in combat & platforming outside it. Great vid brobocop!
Oh my god this video was such a nostalgia trip! Partners in time is kinda special for me cause it was my first ever DS game that came bundled with my DS when I bought it. I really didnt want this game at the time.
I had saved up enough to buy the DS starter kit bundle which came with a game but not enough to buy all the stuff individually so I was stuck with only the game in the bundle until I saved up more. The bundle I wanted was gone so I had to pick from the last few that I really didn't want. I went with Mario only because I had no familiarity with the other games and really came to love it! My sis & I used to lay on the floor, take turns and watch each other play. It was so much fun. We ran into a wall for the final boss and just could not beat it! Taking a break we moved onto other games and never went back to finish it and I sold it somewhere along the way. I miss it though. I really wanna go back and buy a copy sometime...
I couldn't click fast enough I love this game
I prefer the browser inside stories
@@waluigiwa8576 I never got around to that one
Same brendan
Sean Lecca why I was stating my opinions
Brendan McHugh you really should, if you want to of course
You don’t understand this is one of my favorite game of all time. I’m so happy you are playing it.
This is my favourite out of the series because I loved the idea of mario and luigi teaming up with there baby selfs
The touchscreen wasn’t used much because they didn’t know the ds would have a touch screen during most of development.
I remember this one. I got it packaged together with my DS. It was such a happy little game. And then I got to that Christmas town...
6:03 “Maybe will see younger versions of major characters!”
.....what do you guys think Baby Waluigi looks like?
The final boss music in this series is absurdly good. Some of the best boss themes ever made
Omg I love this game. So nostalgic oh man. Thanks Jirard! :D
This was the only Mario & Luigi series game I played, and I love to see the babies from the spin-offs I play actually team up with the bros, and see that they're not alone in the Mushroom Kingdom before Galaxy showed up I think, while also giving us a time travel adventure.
18:56 there is no censorship
I actually rewound it to make sure I wasn't hearing things, haha. So weird to hear an unedited Jirard F-Bomb that isn't on Super Beard Bros.
Same
and yet at 19:28 there is?? must have been a mistake, surprised it never got fixed
Man, I have a special place in my heart for this game.
Back when I was like 10, the only console I owned was a ps1, so games like these were limited to what I could emulate. But this was one of the two games available in the demo DS' there were in a mall I would go with my parents every weekend, so every weekend I would advance little by little trying to manage with what would be left of people playing during the week...till someone deleted the save in the last dungeon
Thanks whoever did that, I still remember it 13 years later
(whispers) Do Pokemon Mystery Dungeon next.
Gotta do red and blue rescue team I've played them all and those two are still my favourites
That did not happen but I REALLY love those games
Completionist: I haven't heard anything bad about this game yet.
The lonely goomba: HOLD MY BEER.
... I think PiT is underrated compared to SS and BIS.
That doesn't always mean it's a good game compared to Superstar Saga & Bowser's Inside Story. Partners in Time is without a doubt the worst Mario & Luigi game.
JJ C I think Bowser’s Inside Story is... the second worst. Bowser as a playable character? Done that. Mushroom Kingdom with no variation? Boo. Fawful? He was good as a henchman and a cameo, and now you expect me to believe he’s gone full villain leader? Except for Dream Team, I’d rank the other games over BiS. Yes, I DID say that.
Danny. It was nice knowing you. You're gonna get alot of hate from the fans for saying that.
JJ C At least I’ll go down with no regrets and a very unpopular opinion. I’ll rant on as much as Egoraptor did when he said Ocarina of Time sucked.
Danny Hargreaves I agree with Danny cause how the hell can you say Partners in Time is the worse when Paper Jam exists?
Props for the Time Machine joke - I doubt many would catch the plugin reference, so kudos!
Bowser's Inside Story is the Better game but I do like the darker take in this game.
Which one is the groundhog game?
MarioManTj lel
tbh i didn't like BIS, it was boring to me, and the minigames to progress were annoying as hell.
@@MarioMamTess Majora's Mask
I've never played majoras mask, only zelda game I've played was wind waker hd.
Since Jirard said it, I want to be clear that a Mario and Luigi game but starring Wario and Waluigi instead is literally one of my biggest dreams that Nintendo will forever leave unfulfilled.
We need a Super Mario RPG remake for the Switch! And maybe with a post game story that lets us go up to lv 60 for the final boss. Kinda like Final Fantasy 4 the after years type of content add on. Or something like that.
That's sounds awesome!
Partners in time was my first RPG series and second Mario game. I loved the game and I still love it.
If only the actual mario games had the type of plot that is in these games.
18:57 Notice how the Captions Censor the F Word. That is some AWESOME Attention to Detail that Everyone could miss! :3
Great game honestly
@@heyitsyaboi8419 ... WAT
I think you fail to realize that ALL Mario and Luigi games are great.
You're joking, this is the FF13 of the Mario and Luigi games. It's one long hallway with no real exploration
@@THEGREATMAX Not like the overworld in BiS was that great either
@@TerrorOfTalos Why I didn't play that game either
The soundtrack might be one of my favorite of all time.
the Alien language used in partners in time is just a cheap ripoff of the Mr. Saturn language from the Mother series. The big difference is you can actually read the Mr. Saturn Letters.
Then it's not a ripoff.
This whole game felt like a never ending beginners tutorial with all the hand holding and how linear it was. I was in denial for the first few hours and thought that maybe there was gonna finally be an exploration aspect, but that never happened. I even thought that maybe there was gonna be a post game with actual challenges and more to do, but nah
More like Partners in Crime
I see you everywhere now
More like GODDAMNIT CHARA
You and your puns
There was actually a typo on the box and it said that.
Christopher Healy
It was actually on the copyright label in the manual.
18:20 whoever was responsible for that musical transition from the "section complete" theme directly into "jungle japes," needs a raise!!!
Rip grand mac 😥
Hey, the Patreon cameo actually had something interesting to say this time! That's awesome. Now if only the editors would do some Picture-in-Picture to highlight what he was talking about as he was talking about it, it would make the whole cameo segments really good and not embarrass their Patreons...
Thank you
there is an AWESOme twist at the end about the final boss! I'm not gonna spoil it but trust me, 99% of players will never see it coming!
Darkness Level of Mario RPG
Super Mario RPG: Somewhat
Paper Mario: None
Superstar Saga: None
Thousand-Year Door: Somewhat (Sorry, but Twilight Town, Dooplis, and the music if the door)
Partners in Time: Hella
Super Paper Mario: Hella
Bowser's Inside Story: Somewhat
Dream Team: Somewhat
Paper Jam: I haven't played Paper Jam
Paper Jam : Nonexistent
Close paper jam gets to being remotely dark with acting like you may have left the Bowser jr.s ready to die then doing nothing with it but having Bowser consumed in anger to almost kill peach and then nothing else it probably the least dark
Paper Jam is aight
Superstar Saga none? Cackletta literally DIES.
I played paper jam but I’m pretty sure it’s just peach gets stolen
If this game ever got a remake it could thrive through some of the following:
- More cameos from other characters in their past forms.
- More unlockable areas within peaches castle as the game progresses (such as a room for boss rush for example).
- More collectibles and reasons to return to past areas.
- Maybe some exploration of the present areas.
- Bosses with less health and stronger attacks.
This is epic.
Super Underrated. I loved the battles with the babies, loved the darker story, and didn’t mind the fact that bro moves were items. I would say it’s better than Paper Jam and Superstar Saga.
One thing I'm kinda bummed out about is that in the Japanese and I think maybe the European version of this game has an extra song in the end credits that plays when the picture shows and it is one of the most underrated songs in all of mario and this song dosen't exist in the data of the north American version one thing I should also mention is that in the Japanese and European version the bosses and difficulty of this game is much easier for example the final boss has a total of around 7k HP in the Japanese and European version the final boss has half of the total HP so yeah the NTSC version is much harder that the Japanese and PAL versions
@Reesie the Axew she heals 120 HP in the north American version while in other regions it's only 80 HP
The only version I played is the European one. Guess I have to play NA now, since it's harder.
My favorite playthrough was ONLY defeating boss fights and other can't-skip fights (I'm no speed-runner or glitch-master). Elder Princess Shroob took a couple hours to beat, there was no way to destroy all tentacles before she re-healed so I just went for her head with repetitive moves (yes, I did 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-.....-1-1 until she died).
Well the lonely goomba shitted all over this game
So yeah someone did say something bad about it
this i my childhood I cry evertime I hear and see this.
*because I lost my R4 7 years ago and yet I haven't found it*
this is a forgotten treasure
I had never known you made this video. As an avid fan of this game (Got a poster above my computer) I got the BIGGEST grin on my face when I discovered this video existed
This is still my fav mario RPG ever, I love this game to the core and I am VERY sad that it isnt getting a remake like super star saga and bowsers inside story.
That Grand Mac joke was to perfect.😆
Now all we need is a Bowser's Inside Story Completionist episode and everything would be complete. Wait, even better: A Completionist review for the upcoming Bowser's Inside Story Remake!
ah the only game where a "Princess"actualy successes in doing what they wanted. Peach: wanna go to a party get kidnaped, wanna be on a festival gets kidnapped again. Princess Shroob: takes over the whole kingdom and she DOES! best princess ever
Damn I remember playing this in my DS after finishing superstar saga. Great review man.
Love this game, but I've never heard anyone talking about it. So happy to see this!
Please do a video on Bowser's Inside Story, that one is my favorite. And you can still do Dream Team and Paper Jam. You'll never run out of Mario games lol
6:12 Poor Younger E.Gadd gets forgotten. This game also reveals where Luigi's Mansion takes place when Younger E.Gadd mentions where he plans on going to build a lab to study Ghosts.
It's a shame how under-appreciated this game really is. It's always been my favorite in this particular series. I loved the first GBA game and was stoked when I learned a sequel was coming out. All of the games have good mechanics but the four-party combat in this title in particular is the best the series has to offer in my opinion with my only real complaint being switching Bros. Moves to consumable items. It's way too easy to have a huge stockpile of the best attacks, making any challenge mostly redundant.
As the second Mario RPG game I ever played, ironically after Bowser’s Inside Story, I have plenty of fond memories. My greatest complaint is that there really isn’t anything to do once you’re done. No arena, no extra final boss that has additional prerequisites, nothin’. Still it was a fun time for sure.
I know this isn't related to the video, but you should do a DLC episode on Breath of The Wild, Champions' Ballad, or just all the DLC in a DLC video. I would love to see that. Good videos as always.
The one thing I remember about this game is the nebulous origin of Bowser JR. Main line Mario series says he is Bowser's son, this game said he is Bowser himself as a kid...
Oh god yes,the series that I had wanted to play for so long when I was young. Didn't have a day but loved super star so much I grinded way to much, mostly grinded because my r and l buttons didn't work so I was stuck in specific parts. Although when I first heard of partners in time was when I first got onto the internet........such hurtful nostalgia......
This is my favorite childhood game and I have lovely memories from playing this game
It's been years... or months, since I watch any of these videos and... MY GOD, that beard! I don't hate it, but my god, that is massive.
Right when I replay this game for my streams, this video gets uploaded! Gotta love the miracle timing!
This game was my childhood and I still love it to this day, I'm excited for the New Game Plus of Bowser's Inside Story cuz I remember you saying that you completed it before in a video.
Now I thought about it, PiT has a few similarities to Earthbound: the way enemies approach you and how they can have the first hit if they get you from behind, Aliens from another Planet taking over and fighting them throughout the game, and don't forget that you also have to go to the past to fight the final boss, with multiple phases. I'm not saying that PiT matches up with the wierdness Earthbound has, but they just seem alike.
I have a soft spot for this game; the final boss fight music was absolutely phenomenal, and I remember pausing just to listen to it. That said, I feel like the Vim Factory level is REALLY goddamn dark. I mean, Toads are being encased by trees that absorb their vim (their 'mushroom power', take of that as you will) which is sent to the factory to be 'refined'. And part of this refinement process causes the ghosts(?) of Toads to appear and you can see them travelling down the pipes in latter sections of the factory. This is being used to power their UFOs, by the way. The blood/souls of mushroom people.
FAMILY FRIENDLY GAME EVERYONE
You still have Bowser's Inside Story and Super Princess Peach , you got this 😂
I love Partners in Time. My favorite in the series.
It’s awesome how the Shroobs later appear in mainline Mario games
This is one of my favorites the story is sooo good
