I love that this game honors the charm of its predecessor. I'll never get over Mario and Luigi's generic Italian gibberish. Despite its charm, I think this game succeeds merely
to show off the Nintendo DS's functionality (i.e. "x" and "y" button integration for previously revealed moves) rather than enhancing gameplay or story. The puzzles seemed repetitive and the stages didn't seem as immersive as the first entry to this series.

took an embarrassingly long time to beat chronos; nonetheless, an amazing sequel to an already amazing series!
