I have a weird relationship with this game. This was my first Mario and Luigi game I ever played and its also the last I finished in the original trilogy. Originally played through an R4 card my dad had given me to as a gift, I stumbled upon the same card years later after already modding my 3DS XL and finding my save file still there from 2008.

Even with my rose tinted nostalgia glasses on, this still is a solid entry but is the clear weakest in the series for a lot of people including myself.

PROS
• Music is excellent as always
• Battle system is much more impactful and intuitive
• Great setting! even if the plot is a bunch of pants.

CONS
• Bros attacks practically break the game with no bp meter.
• The villain is whatever
• Suitcase guy is fucking annoying
• Baby peach is so bad too holy fuck
• Baby mechanic is fine, they more just take over previous button roles from superstar saga.
