One of my favorite touches in this series is that when one of the brothers goes down, the other _picks him up onto his back_ to shield him from further damage, making his own dodges and defenses more difficult in the process. It's really touching and shows a bit of their relationship through gameplay.
One of the best mechanics in the world. Everything about it is so good!
It also allows you to make the game harder by purposefully killing off a bro during boss battles to make attacks more tedious to dodge, and also makes you deal less damage overall (no bros attacks).
Wholesome.
@@aknight7642 I agree. I like to put my brother into comas so I can complete my life in hardmode. It's quite wholesome that I'm able to take care of him forever now 😊
@@squid_cake that crap went from 0 to 100 real quick
"I don't know what compelled the devs to make a land based on beans" I mean the mushroom kingdom isn't much better if you think about it.
Oh my god you're right
in an alternate universe where the mario universe took place in bean bean kingdom and mushroom kingdom comes in super star saga
I mean, are the names much weirder than the Bros. getting vored by Bowser and hijacking his bodily functions from the inside?
the developers had a psychic premonition that one day VideoGameDunkey would be the world record holder for the mario maker course, bowsers mean bean burrito and they poached the idea in order to pay tribute to dunkey
@@evangonzalez7732 ,ß
At least in dream team, Luigi got his shine time, and even bowser learned to respect Luigi, not as green 'stache, but as LUIGI
Yea dream team was the first time bowser ever referred to Luigi by name, before it was just “green ‘stach” or even “green Mario”, I guess bowser decided to make an exception for 2013 because of the year of Luigi
I minor thing missed in Bowser's Inside Story is just how briliant Bowser's special moves are. Not only does it give you the proper feel that Bowser is the commander of an army, but the fact that he uses his special moves in his fight against Mario and Luigi in Toadtown is amazing.
In the secret bossfight vs bowser x he uses his special attacks that he got after the toad town fight too
I love that his "regular" battle theme is more of a boss battle theme than M&L bosses lol
You truly feel like you're the villain
The thing that wouldve made this gam even more fantastic is if they had let us fight as bowser there.
I regret not appreciating this franchise more before it died.
Hey don't say that.
Why? You can still play the games
Go replay em my boi
Dream Team's Tutorials and Paper Jam's blandness make those two games harder to appreciate than the rest
@@elkarlo1593 At least Dream Team is still fun.
Superstar saga: beans
Partners in time: time travel beans
Bowser's inside story: bowser beans
Dream team: sleeping beans
Paper jam: paper beans
@Buff Ringo *oh yeah*
DankPods: Samsung's Beans by AKG- no dammit I'm messing up my liked videos
Never forget in inside stories,OH NO
@@leanneclarke7449 OH NO beans
Superstar Saga remake: refried beans
Partners in Time: Is the "weakest" game in the series.
Paper Jam: "Allow me to introduce myself!"
Honestly I continuously forget it exists which is a shame considering how iconic an M&L x PM crossover should've been
Funnily enough for me PiT I sadly forgot most of the story, but the ending against Elder Princess Shroob is the MOST rememberable part no matter what, maybe it's Nostalgia for the music I once had no appreciation for, and now appreciate tremendously keeping with me, but when I play PJ... It felt... Forgettable especially since I sadly skipped out on Dream Team...
Paper jam is the only 3 player right from alphadream
nah I played dream team and its far weaker, idk man that game's pacing is just fucking slow
atleast bosses in PJ dont take 1 year to beat
I'm glad you addressed the loading times & framerate on BiS remake. It really doesn't feel good to play and I had to force myself to finish the remake coming from the original.
You beat the remake? I tapped out before the Fawful fight in Peach's castle. Idk why I haven't finished it yet
You know what, everyone? If you're all listening, I promise I will open my mind more and realize that while I can definitely love the originals while admitting that they have their own faults that the remakes improved upon to justify their existence by not feeling like the same exact thing all over again and show us that even cult classics can need a second version to not repeat what mistakes they made before (like sometimes being too hard for their own good). This also applies to the remakes of Superstar Saga & Bowser's Inside Story (mainly the Bowser Jr.'s Hourney portion), especially Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (mainly the in-game portion)! Are they perfect? No. But then again, no game is, not even the 2000s Mario RPGs which I'll always love for their stylistic 2D graphics (which I'll never know why people are knocking on), badass soundtracks, gameplay that can be sometimes frustrating but most of the time understanding of what makes RPGs so fun and interesting stories (especially Super Paper Mario which even AntDude reviewed mostly positively)! But I'd take them over the Paper Mario games starting with (and especially) Sticker Star any day!
@@kieranstark7213 I get why BISDX is contentious but SSDX is objectively the superior version and saying otherwise is borderline misleading imo. Art style and music are subjective and the remake makes so many improvements that it makes the original hard to go back to.
Exoparadigmgamer, the man you referenced in your comment shares this sentiment. In fact the only thing keeping him from giving it a replace score was the fact that minion quest was so shitty.
With the exception of Bowser’s Minions in the remake, it’s hard to pick one of the two versions which is the superior (I mean, yes, technically and objectively, SSDX is the definitive version, but I have too much of a soft-spot for the GBA version that it’s far more than just the stylistic 2D graphics that makes it impossible not to like it.)
@@kieranstark7213 no. The 3ds version of the main game is better than GBA. You need to stop focusing on sprites and think about literally everything else.
It’s just occurred to me that Luigi doesn’t wear striped socks in the Mario Tennis series.
I am severely hurt by this.
Cancel it
I don't think he wears striped socks in anything BUT Mario & Luigi. At least, we don't see his socks in anything else as far as I'm aware.
This is so sad I am literally shaking
I'll be honest, the stripped socks never looked right on luigi's design to me.
@@rodrigomorales563 what in the tarnation kind of drugs you be on?!
This is probably the most exposure this series got recently
Real sad
Do you need me to go get Fawful’s minion?
@@Sonicfan2474 Fawful's Minion isn't as known as Antdude though
I will admit, as a big fan of this series I ate these videos up.
@@Nic5Cyprus Yeah which is sad but still
Fun fact, if you're a high enough level, you can actually just freaking tank the bomb and get eaten alive. this happened to me with Luigi on my first playthrough and I didn't know you were actually supposed to die and start with 1 hit point each until years later.
Omg I did the same exact thing with both bro there’s my first playthough and then was so fucking confused and pissed the second time around when I was a kid.
I played superstar saga religiously growing up. I had nothing else to do so I would just play the game and restart it and play it again building hp or pow. I thought building speed meant Mario and Luigi walked faster in the overworld lol. But yeah I remember the bomb blowing up and Mario or Luigi would tank the hit and I thought if both of them could survive then something else would happen. It didn’t.
Same for partners in time with the unwinnable shroob fight at the start. I would build pow and get the max number thinking I could beat the 3 shroobs before the ship blew Mario and Luigi up. I could only defeat 2 of the 3.
This is pretty insignificant but I love the art style for the Superstar Saga games. The cover art is always so charming, there’s just something about how Mario and Luigi look in this style that is just so nice.
Genuinely my favorite mario art style
I think the best part of superstar saga is Luigi saying "thunder"
Love how he rolls the "r"
THUNDERRRRRR
@@kristhepermanentlyexhausted fier!

"They managed to steal her voice and replace it with .... bombs."
Well, that's quite the explosive vocabulary she got there.
everybody gangsta til’ it gets replaced with end crystals
Basically when mettaton says "EVEN MY WORDS ARE" (explosion)
Sounds like something ant would say.
And then they all died.
I always made the joke it’s that she can’t stop cussing and due to it being a nintendo game it FUCKEN EXPLODES
Seeing these all lined up, watching through completely, you can see how Nintendo started pulling back on allowing 3rd parties to create original characters, which I think is what ultimately killed AlphaDream and will probably kill Paper Mario if they don't change their minds. Origami King fought as hard as it could through Bobby - keep in mind, that wasn't even his real name, because he didn't have a name, he was just a generic bob-omb, because that's all you're allowed to have when you can't create new characters.
What killed Alphadream was low profits and strange corporate decisions.
@@krampusthestoryteller1416
Nintendo's pull back on 3rd party made original characters *is* the strange corporate decisions in this case.
@@g.wilson536 it totally wasn't releasing 2 remakes on a dying system, one of which you could already play on that system.
The whole Mario + Rabidds franchise: Am I a joke to you?
This is entirely false in the case of Mario & Luigi, the devs chose not to use original characters in Paper Jam to focus on the contrast between the same characters from different worlds and because they couldn't find a good place in the story for the original characters. AlphaDream has never outspoken about any regulations placed on their work in cotnrast to the Paper Mario devs. And furthermore, the regulations on Paper Mario are moreso about editing existing enemy designs rather than not being allowed to create original characters at all, which is why Kersti exists. There's far too much misinformation on the actual logistics of the regulations on paper mario honestly and it's a little silly how far that's snowballed
I really love the sprites in Bowser’s Inside Story, the best in the series. Sure, the detail is good in the later games, but something about those more classic sprites just really appeals to me!
I always hated the DS sprites for Mario. He just looks too fat and when he walks it looks like he's dragging himself around. I think the 3DS sprites nailed his bodyshape.
@@splashor6361 idk if it's just nostalgia reasons but i disagree with you, he looks fine to me
I spent 5 years of my life taking Italian classes in school because I wanted to know what Mario and Luigi were saying in BIS and I later discovered that they were speaking gibberish the whole time
@@naryosh_ F
One issue that sprites have is that they make it impossible to upres something. Sprites by nature are completely fixed in resolution. Porting it to a screen with a different resolution is a really hard thing to do as the DS has a resolution of 160-255 which is not a resolution commonly supported.
I actually think that is another big reason why the remade Bowser's inside story. To make a version that's easier to port. However after it's monumental failure those plans were dashed.
14:41 The one major issue I have with the remake, and what holds it back for me, is the fact that you can no longer use the hammer or elemental abbility on your brother before learning the special skill tied to it, which would in the original game just hurt them and make them pissed at you
that sounds so cool
yeah, I wish that was in the remake of superstar saga
U can hit the othr brother?
I loved the little detail that the music in bowsers inside story changed slightly based on whether you were inside or outside of bowser. Like in the pipeyard, bowser would hear normal toad town music, and the bros would hear it with a different soundfont.

Oh no
Why is he saying "Oh no" all the time?
Anyone else notice that in all of alphadream's art of Mario he always looks like he's about to throw hands.
AntDude is singlehandedly responsible for mass introduction of Bowser’s OH NO to the world and frankly I’m a little afraid of this
why?
A consequence I’m more than happy to live with
@@thiquel.04 Heck Yeah >:3
You’re lucky
Wait... what is bowsers oh no?
These games are so good. They are absolute peak Mario for me. The tone, atmosphere, humor, references... it's all perfect. And the art style is my absolute favorite of the franchise
One of the reasons I love this series is not only the creative characters,but also the new bosses.also I love how in most of the games bowser isn’t the main villain and it’s someone like fawful
Can’t believe you didn’t talk about how FREAKING HARD Partners in Time is. If you do literally every single fight, and master all of the bros items, then MAYBE you have a shot at the at final boss. It’s ridiculously hard.
thats because in the english version whitch came out first them gave the enemies to much health. in the Japanese and pal version they toned that down.
I own the European version which is considered to be the easier version of the game. And let me say than this game is freakin easy. I never died, and I even went through a challenge in which I never purchased items and bros items, the only ones I had the right to use was those I got from blocks and bonus items from battles and guess what... I NEVER RAN OUT OF THEM! The final boss was also super easy for me, only took me about 15 minutes to deal with and did I even mention I never used copy flowers through the whole game?
Nah shit was easy dude I can buy bros items lol
If anything BiS is leagues harder (if you want to 100% it)
I had the european version sadly :( But storytime: In a hypothetical parallel universe I used an R4 card with an amercian rom of the game when I was around ~7-8 years old and I never beat the game (was stuck on the end boss) until 2 years ago. Now this year a few months ago I played the european version and it was too easy tbh especially the bossfight. Without flexing too much, I just deal too much damage with these infinity attacks despite being underleveled
I remember using cheats to beat the game as a kid, I'm too invested in the story and I gotta cheat to know what happens next
Partners in Time didn't get the recognition it deserved.
Yes.
I was a little confused when he said the shroobs weren't menacing in the early game, Mario and Luigi get floored in their first encounter with the foot soldiers
Is right. Everyone just went for BIS because "huuheuehe bowser cool"
This
Funnily enough it scored highly in the west on release and sold well, especially as one of the first DS games.
Honestly this whole series just builds on the brother's character a lot more. They seem competitive but nonetheless they still love each other, going out of their way and even endangering their LIVES for just one another, it's really nice.
And I know the first Luigi's Mansion did this too, but sssshhhhh.
Okay having played Dream Team again I’m very confused by what you said about the Antasma fight. You only fight him for like one turn in the beginning. You can hardly call the final battle with him similar. He has one attack that’s similar, but that’s it.
Also regarding Luigi’s growth, you seem to have missed how he grows more confident with each giant battle. The thoughts you see when you initiate the final giant fight have changed from “Gotta help big bro!” to “Let’s go, bro!” He no longer sees himself as below Mario, but on an equal footing. And his confident expression on the bottom screen… so good!
And even before that with the Zeekeeper, Luigi is doing his best to support Mario to keep him from being blown away, and even after he does, he rallies the other Luiginoids together to form giant Dreamy Luigi, unlike the other times when the Luiginoids just come to him because Starlow pressed the L on his hat.
It seems to me that there’s so much detail you missed here, which is pretty disappointing. I think Dream Team is easily the most charming of the Mario and Luigi games because of all those little details.
You do have a point saying that they could’ve done more with the dreams and Luigi’s development, but it’s not devoid of growth.
To me, the length is inconsequential because it means I get to watch the brothers be charming for longer. There’s so much to see! I could write an essay about it.
I honest to god pray that they bring this series back.
This and paper Mario need actual sequels.
I'm just worried that the series will lose the charm AlphaDream gave it and it goes the way of Paper Mario with not even being allowed to have original characters.
@@germanlime I'm thinking that will happen too like when the OG paper mario developers went away paper mario lost its charm.
@@germanlime Most likely will, especially if Shigeru's weird ass shows up and starts screaming "NO STORY, ONLY GAME!" like it's still the late 1970's-1980's arcade game era, that's literally what happened to Sticker Star if I recall correctly.
Also as generic and old and dusty of a "story" as it is (don't even get me started on the whole save the princess from the beast thing itself) Bowser kidnapping Peach is still technically a story of sorts, I'd rather the series just stay dead and remember it the way it was, I can't even get hype for new (mainline) Mario games these days it's just like, ok, what's new? nothing? thought so whatever then.
I personally don’t care about story in games, I mainly care about the gameplay and mechanics of a game, but I think it’s still important to make sure the fans who ARE invested in stories in games are pleased.
I really appreciate how, even when you think a game isn't great, you point out the good parts too. It's nice to hear constructive criticism, instead of just tearing down someone's work.
*cough cough* Gligar13Vids and CGRUndertoe when they reviewed Superstar Saga (the GBA version) negatively which just goes to show they were just shit-talking the strongest game in the series, even when comparing it to the other great Mario & Luigi games that are Paper Jam’s predecessors.
Yeah. Bad-Mouthing Games like that is just Full-On with some compliments Roasting Castform Review Video. Personally, it's not bad, just not the greatest. Most Pokémon with Weak Typings and Poor Lvs and Stats are in the same category but that never meant those typings where bad - You just needed to be a better strategist with them.
I love that about these reviews!
I agree except for all the shovelware
Man the phrase "exploring bowers body" sure hits in a reaaaally weird way now
Partners in time got me into the Mario RPGs, which I really enjoyed. Bowser's inside story took the cake though.
Yeah, Partners in Time was the first game I ever owned, when I was like 5.
partners in time is my favorite. not only because of nostalgia, but its also just a good game.
Agreed. So are the rest of the first for Mario RPGs. It’s just too bad that there are actually people (probably bots) that would put down the GBA and DS versions of SS and BIS just to make the remakes sound objectively better.
Same man! Idk something about the mushroom kingdom being invaded by aliens and the whole time travel thing, and the Luigi’s mansion connections! Partners in Time is super underrated imo
" dream team pretends the pervious game never happened."
even tho bowser still has the vacuum shroom and all his moves form inside story.
Pardon?
@@SamDeMonic he uses his inside story moves during his boss fight with antasma. and he uses the vacuum shroom before the final boss.
@@megamike15 huh, man I should really play that before the 3ds becomes More obsoleted
Yeah but it it's true i played it recently and i had that problem and well in reality i felt like that also happened a little bit on bowser's inside story since it was like only fawful remembered what happened in superstar saga(don't get me wrong this it's just something that didn't feel right but all these games are gems, yeah that includes paper jam)
We get to play as:
Mario
Green Mario
Baby Mario
Baby Green Mario
Turtle dad
Paper Mario
*And then a whole bunch of enemies I can’t list as a whole.*
(Fawful is still the best villain ever)
Don't forget mushroom man and *child*
And toad
"I HAVE POPULARITY!"
His minion can agree with you on that front
YOU ARE THE MOUSTACHES THAT I HATE!
This saga and Paper Mario are the only turn-based RPGs that I like honestly. Compared to other RPGs, the artstyle makes the characters and the world around them feel so alive. You can actually see the enemies and evade them instead of just start a battle out of nowhere. And the combat itself is not boring, you can defend yourself and even counter attack
FR BRO, the exact reason I downright hate Pokemon. Pokemon is the exact opposite of what u said. The battles start out of no where, the combat is boring, you can't defend yourself or counter attack , u simply press an attack and watch your Pokemon do an attack but not even come in contact with the other Pokemon. I truly do not understand the appeal of Pokemon.
I love the combat system in this game. I love being able to not only select, but execute the attacks in essentially timed minigames. That style is leagues more immersive/fun for me than "Click attack, select enemy to attack, Attack. Whoo."
@@ricardoquerubin3962 Exactly. You actually feel like you're attacking, not just telling a character what to do
@@TruTwist Pokemon jumping on you from their hiding spot and trying to kill. Shocking, I know, but this is whole point of random encounters - it's an ambush from the enemies you didn't see. And this is exactly why I hate when we see opponents. At least in SMTV they attack you and mostly faster then you so no real way to ran away...
You can defend or counterattack in pokemon. It depends on the moves pokemon have and again, shocking, I know, but animals rarely know ways to protect or counter while battling in the wild, so why would pokemon.
Yes, just like it would actually be: animal execute tamer order as it was given. And this feels... Lackluster to you as I understand. But additional timing button pressing nonsense just God's blessings, looks like, lol.
Please, if you "don't understand the appeal" of the JRPG genre - go play ton of action adventures where sword "connect" with the enemies, but don't badmouth something that commonly requires actual thinking.
Well, that's pretty much apply to everyone in this thread.
@@ricardoquerubin3962 rpgs arent for everyone they require a lot of patienence
Partners in Time was my personal favorite. The interactions between the 2x2 bros and the general gameplay always stood out to me.
Partners In Time is also my favourite. Maybe I'm a sucker for cute small things but I love the baby bros and playing all 4 of them together is lots of fun (for me at least lol)
@@sharpayevans6503 100% agreed.
The craziest part about AlphaDream going bankrupt is Nintendo now owns Mario and Luigi.
With how they handled paper mario the thought of that is beyond depressing. We all know the next mario & luigi rpg is just gonna be another sticker star. I would absolutely love to be proven wrong tho
No Mario for Smash
Well, tecnically nintendo owned the rights of those games since the begining
@@TheXtremeBoltGuy paper jam was the series answer to sticker star, the next one will be CS
@@TheXtremeBoltGuy oh no.
1:14:49 you mentioned dream teaming having an unlockable hard mode, i found recently that bowsers inside story also has a hard mode. you have to do the green shell endless challenge and hit a combo of 150 to get the challenger medal trinket which makes all enemies have 1.5x stats and 2.5x damage.
Wow. I've been playing these games for ages it feels like, with Inside Story being at the top. And I am just finding this out now?? In summer of 2021? Life is so unfair. I still play these games even when I own a switch because for me the 3ds was and still is a beautiful piece of gaming, the ds and 3ds libraries are perfection. I just don't play then nearly as often as I'd like because it became boring and monotonous. But a hard mode would be amazing and get me back into it. So thank you, this is huge help. Guess you learn something new every day.
@@SwedePotato314 I knew the Challenger Medal existed before I even bought the 3ds remake (didn't get original) because of the Mario Wiki.
I didn't know how to get it, didn't really care to search the article, so that's good to know.
@@CarMedicine they removed it from the remake
Dream Team is so nostalgic!! The music, the title screen everything!! I love it, even though I didn’t actually finish it because back then I was trash at video games.
In my honest opinion Dream Team is the best out of all the games. The tutorials can be anoyying for some but in all honesty as a kid I didn't care much. Dream World fights were so fun and some of the enemies actually put up a fight a good amount of time and didn't die immediately which was enjoyable for me
Okay, but Mario and Luigi Partners in Time can have my heart. It was my first rpg Mario game and I LOVED it!!! It was wacky and fun and I felt like it held so many secrets! It’s one of my brothers favorites too, if I remember correctly we would fight over who got to play it. XD
Ah yes, the beginning the M&L3. Bowser hit a low, did shrooms, went to get revenge, wrecked the place and passed out.
Can we just talk about how Antdude's thumbnail artworks are so good? Because they are!
Yeah I love how Mario and Luigi get increasingly more annoyed with antdude being on the title screen
I loved Bowser's inside story, when I tried playing it again on my 3ds the train battle with the bad mic on the 3ds made the game almost unbeatable.
The authentic DS game experience is a game grinding to a halt for 30 minutes when the token mic use comes up, until the machine spirits grace you with the damn thing messing up so hard it works.
I didn't have that when I play the remake, but again that's just me

Bowser's Inside story is still one of my favorite games and the original sprite art of Bowser is still one of my favorites.
I actually super love dream team. That may be because it was my first entry in the M&L series, but also because it just seems like legitimately good game all around. If we got "in the final" in dream team, it would be the perfect game in my book.
I don’t know why but I think the words “Baby gimmick” are funny together.
Gimmick is inherently implied to be short lived, shows or games that rely on gimmicks often change the gimmick season to season, game to game, etc. Babies are the first step in the long life of a person, inherently implied to be long term, stick around a bit. Comedy explained, thus this joke is killed. Much like a dissection, this specimen is dead, but you may now understand other comedy with a similar premise. My job, incredibly useless though it is, has been completed. I go off now to ruin different comedy for others.

How can anyone say the rerelease isn't charming? It's so painfully obvious they lovingly rendered the entire game in the same aesthetic as Super Mario RPG! It's absolutely gorgeous!
"smacks table" THANK YOU!!
58:33 IIRC then Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time focuses on the relation between Bowser from the past and Bowser from the current time. The Bowser Jr. in that game is not the Bowser Jr. that is the son of Bowser, but it is Bowser Jr. as in Bowser himself as a kid. So actually we did not get that in M&L:PiT.
Just throwing it out there.
Baby Bowser and Bowser Jr. would be super fun. Bowser Jr. has his image of his dad challenged, Baby Bowser encounters someone he can kinda relate to, but deeply envies the support Jr. has compared to him, and Bowser himself is put in the rare for him position of being a sideline observer of something relevant to him.
Plus, we would get three Bowsers. Three. That's as much as two and a half twos. And that's wonderful.

Notably, the cover art style for the cases where there's just a white background with the characters on it didn't start until Inside Story. PiT's cover art looks a lot like the original Superstar Saga's cover art.
Man I remember playing Dream Team and absolutely falling in love with it, I played it recently and it is still just as good as remembered
It’s flawed in many areas but the environments and storylines are so unique that it deserves to be mentioned among the heavyweights like TTYD or PM 64
@@footballrave2835 Fr. Thought the gameplay was a little tedious at times but the story is there and I love it
I played "The forgotten game of the series" as a kid and never knew until know that there are so many parts. I thought I played part 2 out of 2 :'D
"Luigi, essentially fills Mario with his essence"..Oh my
Mario's.... oh no
Oh...
Oh, OH NO, OH NOOOOOOO-
NOOOOOOO
Sonic: OH MY!!
Bowser's just a lonely father of eight that has anger issues. Oh yeah, and a lovable meatball
Bowser is (in practice) much more of a good guy than he is a bad guy.

I guess there aren’t 2020-21 versions of a “Bowser is Actually a Good Guy” video because Coronavirus.
This series is incredible
Fun fact: Two soundtracks from Paper jam are from TTYD
When you meet Bowser before the final fight (When you approach Hooktail)
The Bowsers transforming (Shadow Queen phase 1)
What's TTYD?
47:32. Alpha dream absolutely couldnt. Do you hear the "Showtime" voice clip that bowser gives before each battle? Only the thirstiest of people could have directed that line.
not sure if you mean thirsty like. not drinking water. and causing a sore throat, or thirsty like. wanting to get rawdogged by bowser.
@@memelescream4796 its the latter, unfortunately

This sent me down the biggest memory lane. Its very sad to hear the situation that alpha dream is in. I hope someday a miracle happens and we can play another game.
Still a blessed series. I remember my dsi came packaged with bowser’s inside story and I really regret trading that game for Pokémon diamond and black…
But then again, my shoulder buttons got scuffed and made the game a nightmare.
I got my DS prepackaged with Partners in Time, so despite his not-amazing review, it was my first DS (and Mario RPG) game, and the the most nostalgic for me
@@cameronsmith1976 I got a year of loogi- weegee- better Mario 3ds, and it came pre packaged with dream team.
What a shame it got snapped. In half. That thing was delicate. I still haven't finished it to this day, and I still want to...
Not from these videos, but the most I still think one of the funniest out of context lines I’ve heard to describe Bowsers Inside Story is “Mario explores every inch of Bowser’s Body”
Man, this was a pretty good Mario and Luigi retrospective (Though his review with Dream Team was a tiny bit iffy for me). The series honestly hasn't gotten much attention like this from RUclipsrs. That attention usually goes towards Paper Mario due to TTYD and the series' current direction causing a split in the fanbase. Hopefully, more people discover this great series. All games (despite my hatred for Paper Jam), deserve a try.
Yea his Dream Team review was defiantly a bit flawed as he was a bit too harsh on the game in my opinion. There's also some great qualities of the game that he failed to acknowledge like some of the later areas being great and original. Also you really can't expect a game as successful as BiS to have the next game exactly capture that success.
Yeah, I feel like he got everything spot on except dream team. It is a little unfair to have Bowser's inside story (a perfect gem) as a standard for the series. I personally adore dream team, and even with all the tutorials, it never felt dull to me. Other than that, I can agree with him on everything else.
My honest thoughts on Dream Team is that the tutorials do make the game’s pacing slower but it doesn’t diminish it as much as he makes it out. Saying that Paper Toad missions ruin the pacing less is unfair imo because those missions straight up bored the hell out of me and felt like I was wasting my time. At least I can buttom mash through tutorials. And I personally think this game has the most replay value partically due to the further customization upon level up, along with the hard mode. There’s so much to do in that game aside from the main story and it’s definitely my most played out of them all. And the updayed models are fine as they stand, honestly I’m fine with the 3D-esque sprites because the previous spritework might’ve had charm, but they were more in play due to hardware limitations. I also don’t get his gripe over the beans and the Bowser variation final boss. You don’t have to search for beans, and Bowser variations as the final boss just seems right and seems like a necessity for this series. It might have piggybacked off of BIS but that’s not a bad thing. It improved a few things, for example Giant X Battles. In my opinion, the game’s length isn’t an issue, because these games are never gonna be a game I attempt to binge in one sitting. And lastly, comparing DT to BIS due to it sheerly following it in it’s footsteps isn’t fair. BIS is an absolute masterpiece and games qualities should be compared to others in its series, but that should never be the sole reason for a game’s low standard. To finish this rant, i think it’s insulting that it was put below Paper Jam, but I’m happy that others seem to agree with some missed points.
Not to mention just getting details flat out *wrong*
The two antasma battles aren't even remotely similar outside of sharing one attack. I don't understand how he just ignored that the final fight had *two* unique gimmicks
Dream Team is still an good game. But the tutorial and the pacing issue are everywhere and makes the game really slow. Probably the slowest game of the series. I'm also not an fan of gyroscopes in this game. Makes my head dizzy.
If AntDude can come back from the dead (AKA come back from his RUclips break), that means AlphaDream can come back from bankruptcy
....right, guys?
Bro :((
Aw damn D:
Can pigs fly? I wish they could.
I hope so...
I wish. 😞
I remember dream team being one of my first 3DS games I got. I loved playing it
same
Dream teams music is probably what makes it my favorite. I love the music so much!
It's still so weird to hear the complaint that the Antasma fight was *almost identical* in the tutorial and the penultimate battle, when they shared a single move that is powered up in the second fight. It's really a moot point in the game but *man* is it so weird to hear it talked about as though they were carbon copies when it's *a single move*.
Yeah
It's literally a tutorial fight vs the penultimate boss
No freaking duh the one attack they have in common would be significantly harder (especially since the darker arena makes it harder to see the bats)
Not to mention him COMPLETELY ignoring that Antasma has two new attacks and an ENTIRE GIMMICK OF STEALING DREAMY LUIGI FROM YOU
HOW ARE THEY THE SAME FIGHT
@@OriginalGameteer you know he probably beat Antasma before that became an issue.
Lmao who cares, the game is meh anyways. Hilarious that that's your biggerst gripe with this lol
locusts destroy your family yearly harvest
imo it's just that seeing antasma's final form in the tutorial kinda cheapens the final form "reveal" at the end of the game. If tutorial antasma just stayed in the bat form the entire issue would have been fixed.
Edit: on top of that, the tutorial plays final Antasma's music which I also think is wrong and spoils the drama. They should have stuck with the other boss battle music
I got so much nostalgia from hearing ‘The Finale’ in bowsers inside story. I was weirdly surprised as to how nostalgic it was though.
Sometimes it surprises me how Partners in Time didn’t get recognized as much. Maybe it’s because it’s a follow-up or maybe because the story is less strong. Personally, I love it. It was also my first M&L game and this game made me love the whole genre. I probably loved this (as a child) because of it’s story that *isn’t* linear and how the game dares to surprise you. I kinda lost that a bit in Dream Team (although that game plays part of my young-adult life).
The first 2 games were astonishing if I only were critisizing it based on story. I feel like PiT does this at best because of the world design, that doesn’t let you think ‘I only need to look at the map’. Bowser’s inside story falls into a bit, although the level creativity feels ambitious. Dream Team also didn’t have that many world design surprises. Paper Jam I didn’t play, because it felt generic (no fact, just an opinion).
I love story games. A lot of games fall into the linear game design and I feel like M&L games, or games from Alphadream, have that surprising asset, especially at the start of this genre. If Alphadream lives on and goes back to the spirit of the first few designs,. I would love that game already. A fresh story, a fresh design and a fresh new M&L game :D
Shame on Nintendo for not aquiring AlphaDream even though they had the money. Nintendo are the reason AlphaDream went bankrupt by severely limiting the Mario Characters they can use in their games, that's why there's literally only Toads in the later games, made them shoehorn Bowser into everything, not letting them really have their own villains, and forced them to remake older games at the last minute at the end of the DS's life, stifiliing their creativity resulting in bad games at no fault of their own. Nintendo are the Japanese version of EA. Imagine a Mario & Luigi game on Switch, shame on you Nintendo... you robbed that future from us.
Do You have a source?
I'm gonna have to challenge you on an aspect of Dream Team that you never really touch on.
For the first 3 titles, Bowser is often the butt of the joke being used and abused by the new big bad of that game.
Dream Team broke that cycle that made Bowser actually use and abuse that villain before he got to him.
I took it as a return to form for the Koopa King since it's easy to forget that he is supposed to be the bad guy.
The absolute most fun I've had with this series was undoubtedly the Giant Luigi battles. I'd do the boss ring over and over again just to replay those fights.
Same
That was tedious und unfun, only someone who never played the first two games could say bs like that
@@GameTw1ns you got a point, but you're exaggerating your perspective in order to make your opinion shine brighter than the others. Dream Team may have been my first mario rpg game and I love the giant luigi battles, but that doesn't mean that they weren't good in the first place. They just don't have what the first 2 games had that you love so much. I even feel sad for having played the remakes instead of the originals, because I feel like I have missed something truly special. Dream Team will always have a place in my heart as my first, but at least I can still love the originals for what they are.
@@GameTw1ns What are your thoughts on the giant bowser fights then?
As much as I LOVE BiS, Dream Team will always remain my favorite M&L title.
They fleshing out given to Luigi, ontop of Kaiju battles....WITH LUIGI DUKING IT OUT WITH OTHER TITANS was dope af.
And dont get me started on the soundtrack
Dream team is totally underrated!
It would be a good game if the constant tutorials would apear up, and the bad oughtweight the good
@@denysvision583 wrong

I can’t believe I just spent 2 hours watching this. Nostalgia for the beans!!!
An unpopular opinion: I really like the Bowser's Minions/Bowser Jr's Journey games. They act as a fun way to unwind after a difficult boss or a long gaming session.
Haven't played them
But I think I'll enjoy them to
So uh....50% agreed
I really liked them too! A bit of level-grinding aside, it was fun to collect lots of Mario baddies and see a different story too!
Finally, a retrospective to Mario & Luigi.
I thought the same thing
Love the way youtubers handle critisized thinking. Sometimes it is more about complimenting the subject, and I can see your points given the status quo. This whole video was like my childhood, but less than 2 hours. I myself enjoyed the game a lot, but I can see my opinions match with yours. Because I enjoy the whole franchise doesn’t mean I’m loving it blindly. Thank you for this light but serious summary!
God, Bowser’s Inside Story takes me way back to 6th grade! We had a weekly news segment during homeroom that had ads for some reason but one of them I always remember was a broadcast of the BIS trailer! That along with professor Layton during those years are true masterpieces that fill me with pure, unadulterated joy and whimsy that I can still feel today when I replay them!
This (in my opinion) is the best "series" on the channel
I 100% agree with you, i love this series
@@pingu1116 no. Aree
@@pingu1116 i didn't saw that mistake lmao

Moment of silence for Alpha Dream.
I started playing Bowser's Inside Story on the DS. Your video was the final push to get me to try it, so thank you. I quickly fell in love with it. The art style and concept are so incredibly appealing. And the gameplay is incredibly engaging; a far cry from Super Mario RPG. When has turn-based combat ever looked this good? I've been pleasantly bombarded with tutorials for over an hour now and I'm not hating my life.
I don’t know why but partners in time is my favorite in the franchise. I just love the way the adult and baby bros interact and it’s just really fun. I’m very sad that they skipped it to remake bowser’s inside story but whatever that game deserved it too
The game had a lot of charm to it, probably the most out of the entire Mario and Luigi games.
Probably because it wasn’t remade on the 3DS just to over-saturate the Dream Team style instead of come up with its own like the last three instalments of the series. Typical Nintendo red flags.
I’m so sad that alpha dream went bankrupt, these games were my child hood, I legit cried when I heard about it, I’m never going to forget the memories that these in my opinion amazing games made.
I really loved the badges from Bowsers inside story so much! It really makes the player grind more battles just to charge up new combinations to try out
Mario and Luigi: Partners in time is not that bad, in my opinion.
I just stumbled upon your channel (now a subscriber) and this video and I have to say you made me re appreciate some games that I LOVED as a kid and now I went a bought the games I didn’t have. Can’t wait to get back into this series and it’s all thanks to you!

When You Want To 100% The Remakes And You Realize You Have To 100% The Bad Side Modes Aswell
I'm here from the year 2023. Nintendo just released GBA for NSO, and included Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga. Obviously, this video is to be credited for this decision. Thank you for your service, Antdude.
Mario and Luigi Dream Team is one of my favourite video games of all time
It’s a great game, I don’t even know which criticisms of M&LDT AntDude has which we share with him.
I feel like I was the only one to love the minions and bowser Jr journey modes as the story writing in each is incredible and the gameplay is actually a nice distraction from the normal Mario and luigi game. I get that it ain't for everyone but I find building teams satisfying. Sad to see Alpha Dream go bankrupt for one of my most favourite 3DS games.
You are not the only one i love these side games too. Its great to fight with Bowsers Army
i like those sidemodes a bit grindy sometimes but apart from that there really addicitive
I enjoyed them a lot! Especially Bowser Jr’s journey
Everyone who was a fan of the original game (and partners in time) couldn't give a flying f that they went out the way they did, why do you want a pat on the back for liking a game that was literally part of making them go bankrupt, in addition to being a subpar game
@@GameTw1ns If I appeared to be hogging the spotlight on this comment I swear I didn't mean to. I give full credit to AlphaDream for BIS and Bowser Jnrs journey. If you asked me how I felt about this game when I first picked it up, I actually felt the same way as everyone else (being the worst in the series) but when I actually took my time in the game and explored it to its fullest potential, I saw a game that just could not be beat with the amount of detail and care put in it.
But also my love of this game probably comes to not playing the original on DS so I can only compare this one to other games in the series rather than what this game used to be.
I'm surprised he never mentioned how incredibly easy it is to just glitch into every single rock in Paper Jam and get out of bounds
thank you for this video!
as a brand new 3DS owner overwhelmed with the choice of games to play, i am very grateful for this walkthrough because i was very confused by this series
I'd also recommend Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Monster Hunter Stories for your 3ds.
I have watched and listened to this video 10+ times. I really love this style and series. I really wish they would bring this studio back and make a new and improved switch game.
