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.

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.
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.
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.
