From the latest trailer for M&L Brothership, it looks like Bowser still remembers Luigi's name. Because of that trailer we know that Luigi has a bigger role than normal, not as big as this game but it is important
Actually at the end of Dream Team, (sorry if this is said somewhere in the video and I didn’t see it,) Bowser says something along the lines of “Green gu- I MEAN LUIGI!” Showing that he now sees Luigi as a formidable threat to his plans too, and grew a little respect for him.
@@Angeler-br8mt I know, that's exactly what I meant. We haven't had a Mario and Luigi game in almost 9 years, the old developers and especially the New developers could have easily made the mistake of forgetting that part of character development for Bowser but they didn't forget that and Bowser still remembered Luigi's name from dream team. This game is deeply connected to the previous games and not a reboot as we thought from the original trailer
Dream Team is DEFINITELY a good title. Heck, I love the location, the soundtracks, the new characters; I hope the new developers will make Switch releases for the previous titles. (Who's with me on that one?)
Dream team probably has one of my favorite moments in the entire Mario & Luigi series. When fighting dreamy giant bowser, dreamy Luigi confidently tilts his hat downwards with a goofy smirk on his face. Knowing he is finally ready to stand up to one of his strongest and terrifying enemies. That moment alone brings Dream Team to a top Mario game in general.
Not going to mention that the Dream Stone has a soul and is the first giant boss battle Only to be destroyed and consumed by Bowser and then destroyed again by turning into a giant coin that is once again... destroyed into the coins owed in debt
From 2013 to 2017 Nintendo was really blew everything out of the edge of the world when it comes to the 3DS and i hope one day in the 2030's They will make an New handheld after hanging around with thier hybrids since 2018 and maybe the new handheld will make the same magic that both the DS & the 3DS has done before! Thank you Nintendo for making Your last Handheld (For Now) and See you in Heaven Alpha Dream!
@@HelloSayEm6 Luigi doesn’t really hold grudges. Not like he would hate her, and of course she helped Luigi stay somewhat sane in the Forest Section in Paper Jam.
This video literally came out 1 day after finishing the game (also yes it definitely deserved to be remembered), pretty much everyone only talks about Bowser's inside story and superstar saga yet for some reason not dream team and partners in time
@@andrewvanover9747 ik and Bowser's inside story is probably my number 1 or 2 fav in the series but I still think the other games are still really good and don't get the attention they deserve
@@LilCosmosYT I mean I can understand, I also really love Dream Team alot and it deserves a lot more love, and shouldn't be compared to BIS like alot of people do
@@andrewvanover9747 if I'm gonna be honest dream team did a lot of right things by taking the good things from previous games and making some of them better (like the giant fights and 2D sections from Bowser's inside story), imo the answer to wether a game is good or not is not totally objective, it's still kind of subjective depending on the person playing it, for example partners in time is really not the greatest in the series but I still really love it, maybe even more than despite me thinking Bowser's inside story is a better game, every game has negatives and positives and a game can be better than another game in certain aspects and worse in certain aspects, and that applies to the series as well as Bowser's inside story, so ye
At the end of the game bowser also praises his minions saying they did better than they usually do! That's one thing I really liked when the ending scene played.
The 2010s era Mario games get too much flack imo, sure there were some stinkers, but there’s still a lot of great games- people seem to forget how good Mario has- and still gets it compared to many other franchises- still glad they’ve been getting weirder again since odyssey
Bowser's Inside Story has a hard mode, it's an equipment gear called the Challenge Medal that the bros wears but it effects all of the enemies and bosses by increasing their stats and HP, and rewards you with coins. You get it by getting an A Rank in the Green Shell challenge, which is honestly a bit hard, but it's worth it. The earliest you can get it is right after you beat the Scutlet boss in the flame pipe. It's my favorite way to play the game.
I didnt mind Starlo in Dream Team either. But in Paper Jam... i really wanted to smack him a little XD not gonna lie. He got a bit flanderise in there.
BUT BEFORE that Partners in Time NEEDS a remaster first since Alpha Dream went broke after they remaster both Super Star Saga and Bowsers Inside Story DS remakes so Partners in time really needs a Remaster Before Dream Team does.
@@ZaTimou Even if you are a Starlow fan (More power to you), you can't deny she was objectively abysmal in Paper Jam. For one thing, she had no reason to even be there, even Dream Team gave SOME explanation for her to encounter the bros again. And more importantly, she continuously glazed Mario while unnecessarily bashing Luigi even during moments where he wasn't clumsy. For example, when the bros got trapped in the Twinsy Tropics prison, Starlow chastised Luigi for losing the book to the Paper Mario Universe despite the fact they all got hit by a F**KING CANNONBALL!!! Honestly, at least when it comes to Paper Jam, the hate for Starlow is more than justified.
@@HelloSayEm6true Starlow has hated especially in paper jams but mostly because Mario is the spotlight to the Luigi feel left out and u can see that in some cutscenes in the game how they treated Luigi like he basically worthless to Mario
Even characters like Peach and Toadette put down Luigi in comparison to Mario. One of the most infamous moments of Luigi slander in the game is when Toadette is hyping up both Mario and Paper Mario but Luigi is completely left out, and then Toadette has the AUDACITY to say that when she refers to Mario, that should automatically mean she's talking about Luigi as well, implying that Luigi is just an EXTENSION of Mario!! And we have STARLOW to thank for that!!!!!!
This game was the first RPG I ever played, and I still adore it. Almost everything was a joy to play. I say almost because the tutorial is WAY too long. Also, lets be honest, Antasma had so much wasted potential.
Antdude would be seething if he saw this video... Ok, I'm just kidding. He likes the game, just not as much as you do. I I don't entirely agree with your opinion, as I think BiS is better, but this is one of the most positive reviews I've seen actually. The general consensus is that this game is in the middle of the pack or the second worst, but still very good, though you seem to be one of the few people who didn't hate the pacing.
Agreed. Not to mentioned it's overbundents of tutorials you can't skip and combined with the padding stuff, the game goes on for too long. Also it's an weaker Bowser's Inside Story in terms of structure.
I'll be honest. Dream Team is not an bad game. But it's my least favorite Mario & Luigi game by far. The story isn't that entertaining, the new villian; cool design aside, is an one & done villian and not all entertaining; especially when compared to someone like Fawful, Cackletta & even the Shroobs, having Bowser being the final boss again is unnecessary and it's just Bowser's Inside Story again, but worst. But my biggest issue is the pacing. It is an slog. So much unskippable tutorials, so much padding stuff & even the battles aren't as fast paste as the previous ones. The only good thing about this game is how the game looks and Luigi being at his best character. But everything else falls flat to me.
My one major criticism regarding the plot is that a lot of what the bros do is ultimately pointless, because they set out to prevent the villains from doing a thing, but the villains succeed anyway… and nothing’s gained, the heroes are just forced to come up with a new plan. I especially remember when I first played it, after the reveal that Peach had already been nabbed, I had the distinct impression that the entire beach segment ultimately amounted to nothing, because we couldn’t even use that ultra secret hiding spot we’d worked so hard for. Of course you can still argue that a journey was had, and from a gameplay perspective it WAS time spent growing stronger, so it’s not necessarily a fatal flaw or anything. It’s just that in other rpgs there’s generally some kind of push and pull, where even if the bad guy makes progress, your efforts did amount to hindering or thwarting them in some way. I think an interesting little change would be to have them find one of the bed parts at the beach, inside that super secret dream pocket, right after fighting the trio. That way it leads DIRECTLY into assembling the bed, and makes it so that the effort still did amount to something
Honestly, my biggest issue is the new villian; Antasma. I love it's design & all. But his character is one noted and nothing more. He has no funny dialog, no personality, no cool moments, nothing. He's just not as entertaining as Fawful, Cackletta and even the Shroobs. And what's even worst is teaming with Bowser only to be double crossed at the end.

I like to see that Dream Team is Luigi's dreams of gradeur, and Brothership is when Luigi's dreams come true
I like the “chase attacks” used in the boss fights.
Somnom Woods is the best. Especially the music. Feels like the calm before the storm
Not going to mention that the Dream Stone has a soul and is the first giant boss battle
Only to be destroyed and consumed by Bowser and then destroyed again by turning into a giant coin that is once again... destroyed into the coins owed in debt
Meh. The soul was an asshole anyway.
I mean, maybe the Dream Stone’s soul is just independent now? Souls don’t exactly disappear when you kill something in most fictional settings.
Dream Team is so good glad to see you cover one of my favorite games 😊
Brothership you can tell is after dream team
Luigi is much more confident and especially with his Luigi Logic
And bowser now remembers Luigis name
He also did remember it in Paper Jam, which was nice, despite it not being my favorite game.

i really liked you content! So happy to see another person that can love dream team for what it is
This was my favourite mario and Luigi game at that time i can't wait for the new mario and luigi game on switch
FINALLY someone realises it was on equal par with BIS all along.
Gotta say, love the effort you put in your thumbnails
20:26 The mushroom fountain thinks otherwise. Still a hilarious moment though.
Nintendo: playing safe
Bedsmith: let me sleep with yo-NAP on you
Starlow overstayed her welcome fast.
@@dannypalin9583Thankfully she's only a side character in Brothership.
I like Starlow. She is Sassy and i think she should have grown on Luigi. Vise Versa.
@@BeegChaosControls Please give me ONE reason why Starlow, the b**ch who kept chastising Luigi over and over should've GROWN ON HIM?!
@@HelloSayEm6 Luigi doesn’t really hold grudges. Not like he would hate her, and of course she helped Luigi stay somewhat sane in the Forest Section in Paper Jam.
13:51 Also, this was the last chronological title that used the Bonus slot during Level Ups which is still so stupid.
Brothership better return that…

Honestly I’m always under the belief Bowser really cares for his Minions due to games like Super Mario RPG & Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
This was a well-spoken opinion piece, even if i dont like dream team personally
I love this game with all my heart.

2006-2024 Nintendo’s brand era timeline
I love that dream team has a dedicated hard mode. Wish more games did.
Hope Brothership has one to, i love me a hard mode

And no the BIS remake didn't have that which is also bad but the original does
It won't be impossible but unless we have another 3ds
My favorite game tbh
I didnt mind Starlo in Dream Team either. But in Paper Jam... i really wanted to smack him a little XD not gonna lie. He got a bit flanderise in there.
Starlow's actually a girl, but I get what you mean. In Paper Jam, she's insufferable.
BUT BEFORE that Partners in Time NEEDS a remaster first since Alpha Dream went broke after they remaster both Super Star Saga and Bowsers Inside Story DS remakes so Partners in time really needs a Remaster Before Dream Team does.
Would be cool if I had this one but nope, Grandma had to be painfully lame with her taste in Mario.
