this video game in relation to the Mario and Luigi series is basically the equivalent when you hit your sibling really hard and they start crying and you give them a lot of what they like while making sure they promise they won't tell mom.

that sibling's name? Luigi Mario.

in all seriousness I'm surprised this game gets as much shit as it does considering that Bowser's Inside Story can be just as bad or sometimes worse in the aspects this game is regularly criticized for
