This is still one of my favorite games of all time.
I still remember having played Partners in Time and loving it, seeing then commercials for this one and wanting nothing but to get my disgusting infant hands on it. A game where not only you get to play as Mario and Luigi....But BOWSER as well???!?!
I adore everything about this game, the characters, the presentation, the gameplay, Bowser's ...Insides. Fawful has to be my second favorite villain in Mario history, simply no other bad guy in this franchise has reached the same level of presence and charisma that fucker had, and I miss him.
Controlling Bowser feels amazing and his personality shines brighter than ever before in this one. Mario and Luigi feel just as good as always to control during battles, and their special moves here are some of the best in the entire series.
But by far, the thing I love the most about this game has to be the music. I would spend hours and hours humming the same like 4 themes from this game just cuz of how catchy the music was.
But the final boss THOUGH! Dark Bowser is one of the best final bosses in Mario history as it is with the fight and the context alone...But then you add THE MUSIC on top of that?!
Holy shit...The music that plays when you are fighting Dark Bowser is absolutely PHENOMENAL, one of the best music tracks I've ever heard in a videogame and I never get tired of listening to it, it's my all time favorite. I didn't use to pay that much attention to music in videogames but after I heard that, I got goosebumps all over the body...I could not believe how incredibly good that track is.
I say, if you only ever played one Mario RPG out of all of them...Please pick this one, it doesn't get any better than this one. One of the best games of all time and the more I talk about it, the more I want to replay it.
