    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.

    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

      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.

    A feature that this game has that I really (and I mean REALLY) wish the future games and remakes would have is to play the game again in hard mode. Basically, after clearing one playthrough of this game, you unlock hard mode which makes all enemies and bosses signifigantly stronger, limits the item cap to 10 instead of 99, you can't retry a battle after dying, jump, hammer and counterattack commands are more strict, and the giant bosses are a lot faster. I love this feature coz it's nice to have options for more hard-core players. I also really like these 2 bonus images you can look at for clearing the game this way.

    One thing I love about Bowser betraying Antasma, is how you do expect betrayal, except you expect it to happen the other way. Considering how Antasma was the one who’s plan it was to use the dream stone, create the Castle, and was basically was the mastermind behind the whole plan, while Bowser was more so the muscle, and supplying the troops. So you expect Antasma to betray Bowser and become the final boss, but no. Bowser knows there’s only going to be one leader in the end and decides to throw Antasma into the Mario Bros. to go grab the dream stone and take care of who ever wins that fight.

    I think Dream Team is one title that might need a re-release or something similar. But, the only change I personally like is the option to turn off tilt controls. It's fun. But since it is required for many fights - as soon as you put the game in sleep mode, you are cooked until you reset the game or somehow recalibrated the gyro-sensor.

    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.

  • @lucrayzor9657
    @lucrayzor9657 3 месяца назад

    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

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.

Go Buy Buy Buy, Or say Bye Bye Bye to any future games in this series. Bowsers inside story sold well on the DS. Only when Nintendo gets greedy and sells same game with DX slapped on it on system that plays the old version. Duh. So young folks need to buy brothership and stop bumping gums saying how great it is.
