Fantastic first entry in the series. The characterization of these characters is a delight to see, and the gameplay and battles are very fun. No real critiques, but I do think the story and gameplay is often better in most of the following entries.
It just has a special charm to it that makes me love it so much. Definitely gonna play in again in the future!
Such an incredible game with passion seeping into dialogue, game play, and world building. Peak alpha dream (fuck that teehee valley escort mission though)
ayyy it’s the plumber brothers.. i don’t remember much of this game tbh
SuperStar saga is an awesome rpg. There’s no period where you have to grind and there’s no bs it gets straight to the good stuff, including fun enemies and an engaging turn based battle system where you are in control even when it’s the enemies turn. The character writing is also pretty good for a Mario game and while simple, the story is still a lot of fun to go through. Definitely one of the GBAs best games
really fun and interesting start to the mario & luigi franchise. i love exploring the bean bean kingdom and the wacky story of this game, really solid start to one of my favorite franchises.
Best mario & luigi game no question. Actually wait dream team is really good.
Second best mario & luigi game no question.

Really fun game that's enjoyable especially for the JRPGS non-fans. The combat mechanics need you to focus on timing when pressing buttons for attacking, instead of some complex strategies. The gameplay is dynamic, while the story and the characters are quirky and the dialogues are often humourus.

This is a serviceable Mario RPG with plenty of funny moments. Instead of sticking with the usual cast in paper form, this game establishes plenty of original characters with their own quirks. This game was really fun, although there was a moment I soft-locked in Bowser's castle after the Morton fight. That fucking sucked.
AlphaDream showed how to make a Near-Perfect Mario RPG that doesn't draw itself out and is just beat after beat of content, while also managing to innovate on the JRPG formula as a whole. Expanding on Mario's world and universe with memorable characters, locations and a funny story that doesn't take itself too seriously. This game is entirely meat, no fat on these bones. Highly recommended, it is a masterpiece.
Another game that makes me miss the golden age of Mario RPGs, great battle system, solid music, and hilarious writing. Doesn't overstay its welcome and gives you a fun trip into the Beanbean Kingdom.
The best Mario RPG game still.
Full of charm and unbound rizz making it a pleasure to play with its smooth animations and unique characters.

A hilarious little game that harkens back to the 90's era of non-Square Enix RPG's with buckets of charm and that classic Nintendo spark. However, it lacks the focus of a game that you can get your teeth into after around 10-15 hours.
I started this game and absolutely loved it from the get-go. The style and level of polish is immediately apparent and it's sense of child-like humour is utterly charming and really makes the player smile.
The issues arrive a few hours in though. It's actual direction is lacking and the tutorial segments crop up far too often and are easily forgettable. If you take a few days off the game, you will likely forget what you were doing, where you were going and what the hell is going on. You can chalk this up to player error but to me, it needs a little something to help focus the story.
There's a brilliant amount of side content here which was surprising. It's more than just 'babys first RPG' which many of you will be glad to hear. It also has an absolutely stellar sound track which should really surprise no-one.
Despite the many many good points to the game, I am sad to announce that I couldn't quite see it through to the end. I took too long of a break from it and the desire to continue wasn't there.
This hasn't put me off the series though, far from it. From what I hear, the series actually improves hugely with it's next couple of entries so I will absolutely be checking them out soon!

when the four star beans scattered i left this game for like ten years before picking it up again
I absolutely adore this game. Superstar Saga blew my mind as a kid and held up incredibly well when I re-visited it as an adult.
The sprite animation is expressive and charming, the story is an amusingly goofy romp, and the gameplay systems make for an accessible RPG with room for mastery. The flashy Bros. moves challenge you to work on timing button combos, with advanced versions coming along mid-game. Trying to keep up with increasingly tricky enemy counters/dodges keeps enemies interesting all throughout the game. The Beanbean Kingdom feels like a familiar yet distinct spin on the Mario setting, appropriate for a neighbor to the Mushroom Kingdom. There are a ton of optional goodies, minigames, sidequests, and so on. Naturally the music is great as well.
Obviously my feelings are flavored by the nostalgia factor, but for me it is quite simply one of the best Mario games, and one of my favorite games overall.

This was my first ever Mario game. This game is very confusing when you play it not understanding that Bowser is usually the bad guy.
Never have I felt anything for jellyfish in my life
Princess Peach, a grown ass woman, cannot stay still for five seconds. Stupid bitch.
Good game, but I have the 3DS remake soooooooooooooo...
Historia infantil, mas bem extrovertida, mecânica bem desafiadora e o ultimo boss é realmente difícil.
As mecânicas de interação com o Mario e Luigi são muito engraçadas, mas o jogo é bem cansativo em questão de história.
