Heheheheheheh it's like a pun on the phrase Partners In CRIME hehehehehehehe. Anyways, gonna rip the band-aid off right now and say that my one major flaw with this one is the fact that it feels a little too short. It honestly feels like the developers wanted to make this game a bit longer but were cut short so they had to add some last minute padding towards to end of the game to make up for it, and yeah it sucks. Other than that though I fucking adore this game. The battle system is relatively the same as before, but this time you control 4 characters instead of 2. The soundtrack might be my favorite out of the 5 M&L games. The premise of Alien Invasion AND Time Travel might also potentially be my favorite out of any Mario game. I love the darker tone, I love the comedic bits, I love the wacky time travel stuff, DAMN THIS GAME IS GOOD I JUST WISH IT WAS LONGER THATS LITERALLY MY ONLY MAJOR FLAW
