One of the best RPGs on the GBA. Writing and music are as sharp as ever, and the gameplay is a fresh take on RPG combat that makes you pay more attention than most others combat systems of the era.

Super fun and the sprite work is incredible

One of the best gameboy games ever made.

charming, delightful, adorable, creative and hoh boy so much fuckin fun. the mario brothers shine here in a world that feels brimming with life and charm and feel like genuine brothers when in other games they just feel a bit flat. the sense of humour this game has alongside its very fun rpg combat really add up to make it an experience worth your time.

most of it is fairly easy, up until the dark souls of the final boss fuck me that fight just went on forever. the music is good as hell too. another knock against it is how repetitive it is, i think an hour or two could have been trimmed off the runtime.


The start of the series that, to this day, has aged phenomenally with its gorgeous spritework and music, incredible gameplay that feels tight and packed with loads of options, mini-games that break up the RPG gameplay very well, and a goofy story with charm and high stakes at hand.

Great writing and the gameplay was pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of turn-based combat but IIRC they introduced some QTEs to keep you engaged

I always viewed Mario and Luigi as a series to be less charming than the earlier Paper Mario games, and after playing this I'm glad to find out I was wrong for the most part. This game is actually pretty inventive and funny! Also really appreciated some pretty solid overworld/dungeon puzzle design. Probably ranks better than the OG Super Mario RPG in my books.

i loved this game when i was a kid and surprise i still love it now

dunno if its a hot take but superstar saga is my favorite in the series, one of the best turn based rpgs ive ever played

Es de mis rpg favoritos. Es sΓΊper divertido y viciante.

I never beat Cackletta at the end as a kid but I've gotta go back to it sometime...

a schoocha della boppo di beepa da beppo!

aha! okie dokie

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.

One of the best RPGs of all time unironically

one of the most fun RPG's ive ever played, funny and charming like no other. Very few Mario games are as unique as this one.

Wacky as fuck. In the best possible way. Absolutely need to play BIS, as I've heard it's even better. Does have some tedious dungeons but I really appreciate the challenge and exceptional combat in other areas.

I liked it, wished it was slightly longer game, too easy but final boss too hard.

Amazing game, with goofy characters and fun combat! A must-play GBA game!

That final boss was impossible for me. Many fond memories dying to Cackletta's Spirit and her spinning arms in the backseat of the car on the GBA SP.

The best Mario and Luigi game by a country mile.
Superstar Saga is like riding a rollercoaster. The game has a breakneck pace that keeps it super engaging throughout its entire runtime.
I love how many twists and turns the story has. It keeps pivoting to more and more insane places. It's like playing a Looney Tunes short. It's a shame that the complete badshitery of the story was toned down in the later games, cause I had so much fun with this one.
It might not be a mechanically or thematically rich as its sequels, but it's pure dumb fun.


the best mario rpg FOR SURE goat ed it's a me a mario

mario y luigi: sonidos italianos
yo: esto es cine


raw as fuck, fun as fuck, doesnt get too complex, really good music and areas

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.

Good game, but I have the 3DS remake soooooooooooooo...

I can imagine that this game is pretty good and a fun time but I've already played every game that comes after it, so didn't feel much reason to play this one all the way through
