Luigi, meanwhile, wants no part of this adventure but ends up being unwillingly recruited into Bowser’s Koopa army while saying his goodbyes to Mario. Bowser, meanwhile, decides to accompany Mario because he can’t indulge in his favorite pastime of kidnapping Peach because her now explosive chatter would destroy his castle. Mario, being the hero that he is, quickly gets tasked with recovering Peach’s voice. This visit, however, culminates in the theft of Princess Peach’s voice, which literally leads to explosive results. The result is a game that retains the charm of the original game title dishing out significantly improved visuals and overall production values.įor folks who missed out on the original game, the story starts out with a visit from an envoy of a nearby kingdom. It’s one of the things I quite like about the way Nintendo re-releases old IP as opposed to the lazier approach that others might take. While some games are satisfied with upscaling an older game and calling it a day, however, Nintendo takes the Metroid: Samus Returns and Fire Emblem Echoes route by going the extra mile and completely redoing the game’s assets. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minion is a faithful adaptation of the original, which details the adventures of Mario and Green Guy in the Beanbean Kingdom. Any game that allows me to use Larry, who comes with the added bonus of having the same name as my brother, is a fun game in my book.īefore we get to the Koopa part of this diet, however, it would certainly behoove us to talk about the main dish. In fact, not only do you get to play as Goombas and Hammer Bros., you could also get to recruit the entire Koopaling brood. That is, until now.Īs indicated by its title, the 3DS remake of the original Mario & Luigi game now features Bowser’s underlings. But while some considered it a spiritual successor of sorts to Super Mario RPG, it suffered a decided lack of Koopa flavor in its list of playable protagonists. The original Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga that released on the Gameboy Advance in 2003 was a delight. It’s also the reason why I was looking forward to playing Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions. Whether it be playing as Bowser, Goombas or others in between, it’s an opportunity that I rarely pass up. My fascination with the Koopa clan is also one reason why I absolutely love games such as Super Mario RPG on the SNES and the various iterations of the Paper Mario series. My Mario Kart track record, meanwhile, is one primarily dominated by alternating Koopaling picks. Case in point: I regularly pick Bowser and his mischievous son, Bowser Jr., when playing games such as Mario Tennis and Mario Golf. This holds especially true for Goombas, Koopalings and the big bad Koopa king himself. At the same time, it makes me wish there were more Mario games that allowed you to play as the “bad guys.”Īs much as I love Mario, I happen to be a big fan of the Koopa army’s denizens, too. It’s an understandable move as every heroic tale needs it opposing foils. Bowser and his minions, on the other hand, are often employed as dastardly speed bumps on the road to Mario’s glory. to spinoffs like Mario Kart, Nintendo’s chubby handyman typically gets top billing. When it comes to adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom, one guy in red overalls gets all the attention.įrom Super Mario Bros.
