original.honestly I kinda thing the dream team style looks like crap. The old style just had so much character to it and this version just doesn't compare. ALSO WHERE THE FUCK IS MY PARTNERS IN TIME?
Fawful's Minion Honestly, I like both. I became a fan when the originals were made, and I stayed for the DXs for them both. And I wouldn’t change that for anything.
I’m grateful. AlphaDream should’ve went with the sharply cartoony 2D animation style of either one or even all (if’s that is possible) predecessors from the 2000s before they went bankrupt.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Nintendo buy the "Mario & Luigi" IP from Alphadream. I mean, the didn't bail them out but the ip can still survive.
More in tune with Luigi's character i think, if you take the beginning of Superstar Saga for example he REALLY doesn't wanna be on these journeys, he'd rather stay home
@@newtfigton8795 Let me explain myself: it bothered me at first because I love the energetic tone they have in the original, but later I thought "well, it sort of fits for Luigi"
The Cutehog Team I think the reason they did the BIS Remake first was because there were not any real DS gimmicks in Partners in Time. The only one I know is when you had to use the stylus only once and that’s it
@@Too1998 Yeah, i really hate the Dream team art style, it was the first thing that made me want not to buy dream team at first, and then they kept it for ... 4 game ? I feel like Bowser looks very bad in this artstyle too
Finally someone said it. The framerate and overall slowed down gameplay of the BiS Remake is annoying and make it a lot less fun to play compared to the original.
It’s weird that the BIS remake isn’t at 60 FPS... either the game had a way lower budget than superstar saga DX, or the 3D giant battles took up a lot of memory space on the game cartridge so they had to slow things down 🤷♂️
@@unclegrandpagaming165 I think it was cause Alphadream was running out of money when they made this. They needed a quick cash-grab to get back on track. That doesn't excuse it, though. They could've spent the money making a new Mario and Luigi game for the Switch instead of remakes.
@@Stinktofu0021 "I don't care/noticed it" doesn't magically remove the problem from existence. It's not about finding a reason to go 60fps, it's about finding a reason to *NOT* go 60fps. 60fps is the default and is much smoother than 30fps, especially for a game like Mario & Luigi. It's factually a problem that had no reason to happen considering Superstar Saga DX was smooth 60fps.
I’m just glad that we actually have these remakes for the Classic Mario & Luigi games since I never actually played the original Superstar Saga and Bowser’s Inside Story but did play Partners in Time. Next stop, Mario & Luigi on Nintendo Switch. (Please add Wario and Waluigi into the game!)
I know how you feel exactly. I felt the same about some Gamecube games that later get Wii releases or remakes. I still recomend you to try the original BiS if you can. Let's say they are at the same time equal and different, but I'm glad you're finally able to play these games.
The lack of microphone controls in the BIS remake is indeed the best thing about it. Makes me wish for a Zelda: Spirit Tracks remake that does away with it also.
Maybe, the members of AlphaDream will go on to form another company that makes a new Mario RPG series as a spiritual successor to Mario & Luigi. Fan games are always a possibility as well...
We’ve had 4 games use the DT engine and yet unitonically DT is arguably still the best looking game. The dream aesthetics and fantastic world design was great especially since the remakes got rid of 3D attacks
Funny and sad at the same time. Dream team's artstyle was simply designed for 3d, and since the remakes weren't 3d and paper jam was meshed with paper, dream team ended up being the most appealing in the end.
At this point, as much as I want them to remaster PIT, I honestly want them to move on to the next main line M&L game. I want a brand new story, new characters, new abilities, new lands to explore, new music to hear. I want a *new* M&L game. Not a remaster, a new one. It'd be perfect to put it on the Switch as well.
Here’s how I want Partners in Time to be remastered. They make both versions of Princess Leach much more capable of themselves. Like I said before, even though I find Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time to be underappreciated like its predecessor, at the same time, I could see why people might have a problem with it, that being Princess Peach (both the adult and baby version) sounding like and being token damsels.
Martanis_IV the one thing that bothers me about the Magic Window is that you can’t use it indefinitely like in the original. It was an allowance for skilled players in late game, and an incentive to explore Bowser’s Castle as Mario and Luigi.
Yeah but magic window was amazing and fast while in the remake it was slow and bad on my recent playthrpugh of the game I was tempted not to get it but I wanted to get the beams and blocks down there
I’m very glad someone brought up the butchered sound bits. The two instances where I preferred the original was Bowser’s whiffed jab in his fight at the toad town hospital where I thought the grunts and tripping was exceptionally funny, and Dark Fawful’s giggles when using the suction headgear 360 attack during his fight in Peach’s castle. They are little things, but it’s those that you tend to notice the most.
"I guarantee it's the last time we'll see Dream Team's artstyle." Well, guess what? It can no longer be taken the worst possible way anymore, M&L is fucking BACK, BABY!
Luckily, I played it on a emulator so I just had to modify the sound of the game and simulate the mic I literary had to do nothing to win that battle was just clicking the icon and use the punch in the mountain thing and to counterattack
One think that bothers me with the remakes is a lack of a a hardmode. They added it to dream team so they showed that they can do it and it greatly boosted my enjoyment of the game. Another thing I never got is why they didn't add badges to the superstar saga remake. If you're gonna go for the gameplay updates go in all the way I'd say.
Yoko’s usually hit or miss when she remixes. But when she makes new music? GOOD LORD IS IT AWESOME. Seriously, The final boss theme of Bowser Jr’s Journey is nothing short of amazing! Easily my second favorite song behind In the Final!
Blessed or Messed: Paper Mario: Color Splash. Is it as messed as Sticker Star or is it in the range of Blessed of M&L: Paper Jam? Seriously, I'm still waiting on that episode...
Kyle / DEA187MDKjr the story is the same though atleast bis dx has a good story and a good side story like the original bis paper jam isn't a bad game but it also isnt a good game id say it's a 6/10
@@DarkFawful Also, the part that sickens me is how some Paper Mario fans are clamoring that AlphaDream's bankruptcy means Paper Mario will go back to it's roots. Dude, just, no.
Great video, but I would have added these points Good: Taking a note from dream team, Bowser’s giant bosses have been added to the arena, so no longer do we have to replay the entire game to re-experience the fun giant battles (+2) Bad: So you can add giant battles, a fun distraction, to the gauntlet, but you didn’t even add Bowser’s main battles to the gauntlet? What the hell? I want my Dark Fawful EX goddamnit! (+2) Why does the Dark Star EX use the normal boss theme when Antasma X from Dream Team reused the Antasma battle theme? (+1)
I liked Superstar Saga DX and thought Bowser's Minions was a good side story. Bowser's Inside Story DX, meh take it or leave it. I did like Bowser Jr's Journey though.
Fawful's Minion should have covered Bowser Jr's Journey Journey a lot more than he actually did. The story is on par with the main games stories (Except for Paper Jam obviously.), which is surprising since Bowser's Minions isn't. He also did not cover music from the side stories which I think the new music from BJJ would have made him appreciate BIS's music more. It really makes me wonder if he even completed it. It only gets really good after you complete your first visit to Blubble Lake, so that makes me even more concerned with how long Fawful played it.
@@6k546 wouldn't be surprised if I'm being honest. Pushing forward (wheeze) is VERY hard in that game. Bowser jr. Is still an annoying little shit for the first half, and the gameplay is simply hot garbage, even if it is improved from bowsers minions.
BISDX's new title theme is... good, but I really wish they remade the original instead, and I absolutely HATE what they did to the minigame theme. But overall, I love the remastered BIS soundtrack!
I'm personally not a fan of the remasters. Dream Team's new graphics were great, but seeing the same models, voice clips and general sound design over and over and over again just gets... boring. I actually prefer the more pixelated look of the older games
I am a fan of the graphics myself, however they shouldn't have reused as many sprites as they did. Toads have never looked more plain and boring (Even the 2 latest paper mario games had more expressiveness than this), they could have done with more exaggeration like they did with the remastered sprites for Popple and Cackletta, and they could have maybe done something with the colors, such as making some things more vibrant. Overall, I'd say that they could have done better. I am not tired of the graphics, just dont want them reusing the same sprites over and over again. Atleast give the same sprites some new animations, like with Mario and Luigi's battle animations.
They have steadily gotten better every game to the point that they barely even look like the Dream Team models anymore, besides, why fix what isn’t broken?
@@hyperdrive282 Exactly. Although a little change my be good, why waste all the effort they put into making the sprites in the first place? Dream Team took so long to develope mostly because of the sprite work alone. If I spent that long on valuable assets for games, I would want to use them more often too.
The next Mario and Luigi rpg need to take notes from Cuphead. A beautiful Cartoon graphics that homage the original Pixel artstyle of the first three games.
These both have my blessing, they are some of the best looking games on the system, the music is top notch, the combat is great, and they make aome improvements as well, they are by no means perfect remakes but i still love them. (Also im one of the few who legitamently enjoyed the side modes plus we got more fawful lines from them so thats a plus.)
Welp, maybe he doesn’t like to see what’s so bad about it, since then again, he did defend Super Mario Sunshine, Sonic Forces, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Lost World and most 3D Sonic games including Sonic Free Riders.
We need one of two: A Parthners in Time remake that fix things to the point it becomes one of the best, or a new incredible game for the switch, or better, BOTH.
What do you propose PiT DX "fix" that wouldn't involve a complete overhaul. As far as I understand people only moan about two things - linearity and Bros items. They could restore Bros points for the remake and get rid of the item stocking of those attacks but the linearity is fundamentally woven into the game. Keep in mind PiT is one of my favorites in the series because I don't have a pathological aversion to linearity like most gamers (who don't even seem to realize that ALL M&L games are completely linear - they just have open hub worlds to lightly disguise this fact), but they're not going to change the game's fundamental layout so what exactly did you have in mind?
@@ThrillingDuck I don't think the linearity of PiT is that much of an issue, I like just having a straight line to go in and having fun doing it. I think the main issue is how spammable the bro's moves are and how spongy the bosses are in the late game, they could fix it by making coins more scarce so you can't just buy 50 thousand cannonballers and destroy everything, and also making beans non-renewable so fawfuls shop doesn't feel like a cheap way of cheesing the difficulty of the entire game.
@@DannyCheezits I'm on board with all of this, though I still think restoring Bros Points would work a little better than money scarcity personally. Not that it seems likely PiT DX is ever gonna happen now anyway with Alpha Dream out of commission :(
also I didn't see much slow down on M & L BiS, maybe because I played on a new 3ds and they optimized it for the new 3ds and its better processing power
These 2 are an automatic blessed from me, I absolutely love how they updated them, especially BISDX. And that's coming from someone who's favorite game ever is BIS, but God damn did the remake blow me away.
theres ONE thing i find unforgivable about BiS DX luigi's sprite doesnt dance on the level up screen. in the original version, luigi does a fun little shuffle, in the remake, he just stands there.
I got a 2DS last Saturday and played Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, and it is amazing, I'm almost at the end of the game! After I finish it, I'm gonna play Bowser's Minions Mode! Then when I'm finish the game, I'm gonna get and play Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey!
12:40 They used the Lets a go okie dokie from Superstar Saga, But the original BiS version was so much more emphatic and inflective even with ds compression l you know it was going to be a fight.
You know I think the problem with the art direction in these remakes isn’t the the sprite work itself. It looks great. It’s that it just doesn’t look as good as in a 2d game. Dream team had these 2d sprites in a 3D plane most of the time, along with the battles. Since the remakes are of a game that was originally 2d, they just weren’t meant for a 2d overworld. And I’m not saying the overworld is literally only left and right, but the overworld in dream team was *actual* 3D models. It was an actual 3D game.
My thoughts exactly. They should have made a remake of Partners in Time. They knew the mistakes they made in this game, so why did they had to ignore it and make a remake of a game that was already successful?
I like SSDX, but the Bowser's Minions section actually managed to piss me off. I haven't played BISDX yet (at the time I send this reply), but I do hope the BJJ section is better than Bowser's Minions. And before I get replies saying that I'm not missing anything, I've already seen all the cutscenes. I'm testing the GAMEPLAY.
My favorite DS game of all time is actually Partners in Time. I just love how you can control two sets of characters at the same time, and the battle system is just awesome. Sucks that its the one game they didn't make a remake of. But maybe its a dodged bullet...
they made the backgrounds in BIS DX be all super spectacular shiny and glossy and animated, yet kuzzle's furniture puzzles lay there motionless like a rock ='). with how lively the new backgrounds looked i was expecting the already animated kuzzle's furniture to look even more mesmerizing in the remake but nop, they're just still images... at least i can still enjoy the rest of the backgrounds. and am i the only one who genuinely enjoyed roaring/blowing into the mic during giant battle as if i were bowser himself?
7:57 I found that instead of having to blow into the mic, you could just rub your finger over it really fast. It makes a similar sound and confuses the mic, giving you an excellent almost every time. And you don’t end up looking like an idiot if your playing in public. Try this out next time you go back and play this game.
Speaking as someone who played both superstar saga and bowsers inside story on release, based on what you said these remasters seem to serve as more than serviceable introductions to games a lot of people probably missed. Here’s hoping a new game with a new art style comes to the switch
I actually never had any lag issues for BIS DX. Also I wonder what he thinks about the bowser Jr's journey's battle theme, boss battle theme, and final boss battle theme.
3:50 Technically, they used the Paper Jam design mainly because of Bowser. There’s a difference in Bowser’s design between Dream Team and Paper Jam. But I do get what you’re saying.
One thing I can't get over is the new EXCELLENT sounds effect. I know it'd be hard to perfectly recreate the DS sound font, but I'd rather just put dream teams
One thing to note is that Yoko didn't actually remaster the music for Bowser's Inside Story, or even arrange the new tracks. It was a new set of arrangers Alpha Dream hired, likely because they couldn't afford Yoko at the moment or get her because she was busy. As for Superstar Saga DX I'm pretty sure she helped arrange most of the tracks, while some of the arrangers for BiS DX did others.
well, I feel like SS DX was great because it brought Superstar Saga to a newer platform, so that people who hadn't played the original could play it... BIS DX just, releases on pretty much the same platform... I must say that I haven't played DX, but I just don't feel like the sprites give off as much "charm" as the original ones... Bowser also lost most of his charm in the DX... making him more like "angry evil bad guy" other than "slightly less evil bad guy who isn't really a bad guy for now" just... the change in design kinda is... ugly? I suppose...
The original BiS is always going to be my favorite game in the series no matter what. The remake may not be as great as the original, but everytime I play the remake it puts a big dumb smile on my face.
Honestly, I feel like that a Bowser's inside story remake was uncalled-for and too early. Not only does the original game came out nearly a decade ago, (9 years AFTER when the DX released), the original game was also backwards compatible with the 3DS. I think the only reason we have remakes on the classic games is because after paper jam, the sales didn't meet expectations and they didn't want to go bankrupt, so they remade the "golden games" that sold well years ago. Too bad that Superstar Saga DX sold 500k and Bowser's Inside Story sold 34k (In Japan.)
I personally think that both soundtracks of BiS are on equal footing, also if the M&L games on 3DS looked this good i can't wait to see how they look on the Switch
I personally don’t like the fact that Bowser’s body looks more realistic. The stylized version that the original uses is much less disgusting and more charming then some moments in the remake (like the carrot minigame) that made me want to gag. Also a few moments in BiS, like you said, are watered down because they couldn’t bother to use the old voice clips or remake them.
Gruntilda vs. Cackletta First part is a diss contest. Gruntilda's part is completely in rhyme and she hasn't lost her touch one bit. Cackletta however, is positively ruthless with the burns. Second part, both of them battle. Has several phases, both characters get a moment to shine with a metal remix of both their themes. Final part, winner beats the other, somehow gets stronger. Faces off against The Super Mario Bros. teamed up with The Bear & Bird. Yoko pulls out all the stops, practically goes full Kingdom Hearts while still retaining the charm of Mario and Luigi series. Then suddenly, Grant Kirkhope chimes in with his usual score, except it's somehow even MORE Banjo-Kazooie than normally possible and it sounds like he's serious this time. The music clashes against each other, fighting for dominance, then starts working together in a glorious mix of old timey platforming goodness. Epic finale, the song ends with perfect timing on the last note as the mother of all witchy hags gets blown out of the sky with a Jinjonator Breegun plus Bros. Attack combo. Then, if you've collected your Jiggies and your Stars like a good little player, it then cuts to Bowser and Klungo growing giant, both of them hopped up on Klungo's potions and Kamek's magic. Cue Mumbo Jumbo and Humba Wumba showing up and casting their magic on Bad News Bears and Snark In Breegull Form. Both Banjo and Kazooie grow giant, and Kazooie gets her old dragon form back. Luigi is obviously having his jaw hitting the floor screaming in momentary panic and WTFing like any sane man would, but his bestest bro pats him on the shoulder and reassures him, pulling out two Mega Mushrooms. After a quick snack, the playing field is levelled. And then you see the most perfect feature you could ever see in a video game. *[Would you like to connect to Nintendo WiFi connection and find an ally?] [YES | NO]* Fighting the very definitive final boss with someone who's doing it at the exact same time YOU ARE, somewhere in the world. One of you controls The Rare Duo, the other controls The Mushroom Men. And if you beat the game, it comes back as a feature as a reward, so you can always find someone to help out later. Or troll. We all have a little Fawful in us, after all~.
I can say, without a single doubt in my mind, that both of these wonderful remakes are BLESSED to the core! So glad they remade these great games. It’s sad they’re getting so much hate.
bro I love the REMAKES i think there great. I love Fawful has his own battle theme (even tho it’s Cackletta theme) I love the Dark Star and Dark Fawful themes :)
Personally, I enjoyed both of the remakes, even the side games were fun. They fixed the problems that both the originals had. Here's hoping that they eventually remake Partners in Time, even if it's for the Switch Or even a new game, I'm all for that too!
I'm thinking then reason they didn't make a PIT remake was because they are making a new game on switch, and that they wanted to get out these remakes before this new game is announced.(just a personal theory though)
For Superstar Saga, I played both the original and the remake, so both on that front. I really like what they did with the superstar remake. The game played very very well and it felt like a major improvement overall from the original. For Bowser's inside story, I played the original and loved it, it is definitely one of my favorite games of all time. I however never played the remake, nor do I intend to. I had my concerns that the remake would not do enough to justify it's existence and would be significantly limited with the dream team art style and engine. By itself the remake looks good, however, for a remake of a masterpiece, it could have been better, significantly better, in every aspect: soundtrack, graphics, performance, engine, basically everything. It looked rushed and felt like an attempted cash grab when it was announced. Hindsight is 20-20, but with how poorly the remake sold and with how it ended up costing Alphadream everything, this remake should not have been produced when it was. This remake did not overall improve upon the original and had several drawbacks that prevented it from being a true remake with it's limitations. It released on the wrong system, with the wrong engine, in the wrong time period. The only major improvements were the original tracks it implemented (yes even the new title theme on it's own), removing the need to blow into the microphone, and the graphics (though again, could've been much better had it not been limited with dream teams art style.). Everything else felt watered down. Honestly a damn shame Bowser's inside story didn't get the remake it truly deserved (no disrespect intended for those that did like the remake we got). If I had to choose between one or the other, the remake for superstar saga, and the original for bowser's inside story.
I prefer the originals based on their styles. The first three games had a very distinct style each looking better than the next, then Dream Team comes along and overrides the old style, which in my mind defined the Mario & Luigi series, since every rendition before had the previous style. I think it wouldn't have been difficult for Nintendo to have made Dream Team with the older style with the dark borders around characters and enemies whilst still improving the graphics, but changing the entire style I feel was a huge mistake.
The Inside Story remake sucks cause it keeps trying to push Koopalings not being Bowser's Kids, a terrible canon that i refuse to accept. Also the BFF's in Junior's Journey are supposed to be the same race as Midbus, wtf? I want more Midbus in general cause hes cool and feels like a real rival for Bowser, but thats stupid.
I played Superstar Saga as a kid and while it suffered from a common thing with me back then of I never actually beat it, I got pretty damn close. So close that the only reason I didn't beat it was because I couldn't triumph over the final boss. But it's been years since I played it and I never played Bowser's Inside Story. So I've been searching for my answer for some time now as to whether or not I want to play the originals or the remakes when I eventually go back to this series. Did this video solidify the answer for me? Why yes it did. And that answer is....................both.
I was kind of surprised you didn’t talk more about the new side modes. Regardless of your taste in gameplay, I adore the heart they put into the actual plots. Especially with the character development they have Bowser Jr. poor kid needed a hug when he and Kamek were stranded at the beach... Also, I want to see a Blessed or messed episode centered around a Cartoon Network show at some point. I don’t care which one you pick.
It was really nice to see their interpretation of Bowser Jr and the explanation of why Bowser's minions are as devoted to him as they are. Also seeing Kamek is always nice.
When I first played Superstar Saga 3DS, I liked it a lot, but over time I've changed my opinion. The original just sticks in my mind way more, and also I thought the changes to the overworld and battle mechanics did nothing but dumb everything down. Bowser's Minions was fun as bonus exposition, but not really fun as a game. The only thing I think was a definitive across the board upgrade was the music.
Which version of each do YOU prefer? Original, or DX?
Fawful's Minion both

3:58- “I’m certain this is the last time” oh, it’s the last time, all right. 😭😭
Maybe, the members of AlphaDream will go on to form another company that makes a new Mario RPG series as a spiritual successor to Mario & Luigi. Fan games are always a possibility as well...
@@dreamykidit’s last time alright 😅
We’ve had 4 games use the DT engine and yet unitonically DT is arguably still the best looking game. The dream aesthetics and fantastic world design was great especially since the remakes got rid of 3D attacks
Funny and sad at the same time. Dream team's artstyle was simply designed for 3d, and since the remakes weren't 3d and paper jam was meshed with paper, dream team ended up being the most appealing in the end.
No bis on the ds is BY FAR the best looking it’s gorgeous the DT art style is just kinda mid.
Bowser chucking the Fawful Express into the pit is still the most cathartic thing I’ve seen in years.
Please never change. I love your energy, language, and presentation. It's nice to see passion for something.
"I'm certain this is the last time they'll use the Dream Team style."
Alphadream goes bankrupt.
I guess that's technically right?
16:57
At this point, as much as I want them to remaster PIT, I honestly want them to move on to the next main line M&L game. I want a brand new story, new characters, new abilities, new lands to explore, new music to hear. I want a *new* M&L game. Not a remaster, a new one. It'd be perfect to put it on the Switch as well.
-You're getting Paper Jam 2 and you're gonna like it-
Mario & Luigi: Sticker Star
Coming 2020
Here’s how I want Partners in Time to be remastered.
They make both versions of Princess Leach much more capable of themselves.
Like I said before, even though I find Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time to be underappreciated like its predecessor, at the same time, I could see why people might have a problem with it, that being Princess Peach (both the adult and baby version) sounding like and being token damsels.
Kieran Stark sorry but a PIT remake is impossible
TheDisguisedCreeper how's that nintendo trademarked the series so...
I still remember your top 10 bullshit's in video games...
*Why not remake that?*
I actually LIKE the new Super Bouncer and Magic Window, probably because I have a thing for big finishers to multi-hit attacks.
Martanis_IV the one thing that bothers me about the Magic Window is that you can’t use it indefinitely like in the original. It was an allowance for skilled players in late game, and an incentive to explore Bowser’s Castle as Mario and Luigi.
They probably changed magic window because of the lower framerate.
Yeah but magic window was amazing and fast while in the remake it was slow and bad on my recent playthrpugh of the game I was tempted not to get it but I wanted to get the beams and blocks down there
I’m very glad someone brought up the butchered sound bits. The two instances where I preferred the original was Bowser’s whiffed jab in his fight at the toad town hospital where I thought the grunts and tripping was exceptionally funny, and Dark Fawful’s giggles when using the suction headgear 360 attack during his fight in Peach’s castle. They are little things, but it’s those that you tend to notice the most.
"I guarantee it's the last time we'll see Dream Team's artstyle."
Well, guess what?
It can no longer be taken the worst possible way anymore, M&L is fucking BACK, BABY!
thank GOD they nerfed the train battle in BiS DX
i got a headache from blowing so much as a kid
Empisi9899 oh blowing into the mic SUCKS, but I’m glad they changed that.
my dirty mind is what makes me enjoy comments like these
Luckily, I played it on a emulator so I just had to modify the sound of the game and simulate the mic I literary had to do nothing to win that battle was just clicking the icon and use the punch in the mountain thing and to counterattack
;)
@@reddeath5791 Same ;)
"I'm certain this is the last time [they use the same artstyle]" HOO-HOO-HOOOOOO ARE WE GLAD TO BE RIGHT
One think that bothers me with the remakes is a lack of a a hardmode. They added it to dream team so they showed that they can do it and it greatly boosted my enjoyment of the game.
Another thing I never got is why they didn't add badges to the superstar saga remake. If you're gonna go for the gameplay updates go in all the way I'd say.
Because badges in Superstar Saga fulfill a different role giving stat boosts and a extra ability. Also the game is easy enough without them
Worst part is that the BiS remake was pointless. You could literally play the DS game on the 3DS for which the remake was made.
Yoko’s usually hit or miss when she remixes.
But when she makes new music? GOOD LORD IS IT AWESOME.
Seriously, The final boss theme of Bowser Jr’s Journey is nothing short of amazing! Easily my second favorite song behind In the Final!
In my opinion, "Everyone, Attack!" was amazing too
Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions: Blessed.
Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey: Messed.
Blessed or Messed: Paper Mario: Color Splash. Is it as messed as Sticker Star or is it in the range of Blessed of M&L: Paper Jam? Seriously, I'm still waiting on that episode...

Dude, just, no.
Great video, but I would have added these points
Good:
Taking a note from dream team, Bowser’s giant bosses have been added to the arena, so no longer do we have to replay the entire game to re-experience the fun giant battles (+2)
Bad:
So you can add giant battles, a fun distraction, to the gauntlet, but you didn’t even add Bowser’s main battles to the gauntlet? What the hell? I want my Dark Fawful EX goddamnit! (+2)
Why does the Dark Star EX use the normal boss theme when Antasma X from Dream Team reused the Antasma battle theme? (+1)

@@theutubepower1243 So you don't just spam one attack and call it a day with bosses
I liked Superstar Saga DX and thought Bowser's Minions was a good side story.
Bowser's Inside Story DX, meh take it or leave it. I did like Bowser Jr's Journey though.
Fawful's Minion should have covered Bowser Jr's Journey Journey a lot more than he actually did. The story is on par with the main games stories (Except for Paper Jam obviously.), which is surprising since Bowser's Minions isn't. He also did not cover music from the side stories which I think the new music from BJJ would have made him appreciate BIS's music more. It really makes me wonder if he even completed it. It only gets really good after you complete your first visit to Blubble Lake, so that makes me even more concerned with how long Fawful played it.
@@6k546 Pushing Forward in particular is soo good. I would say it's one of my favourite tracks in the whole Mario and Luigi franchise.
I’m curious how they handled superstar saga so much better than BIS.
My opinions are exactly this.
Except Bowser's Minions.
Bowser's Minions sucked.
@@6k546 wouldn't be surprised if I'm being honest. Pushing forward (wheeze) is VERY hard in that game. Bowser jr. Is still an annoying little shit for the first half, and the gameplay is simply hot garbage, even if it is improved from bowsers minions.
BISDX's new title theme is... good, but I really wish they remade the original instead, and I absolutely HATE what they did to the minigame theme. But overall, I love the remastered BIS soundtrack!
I do not get it the minigame theme is still good.
Blessed or Messed: Luigi's Mansion 3DS Remake?
Oof now that’s a real messed right there.
It doesn’t have the same graphics and atmosphere. The original still looks great today.
JJ Slider how?
Michael 590 it still has good graphics and that same great atmosphere
I'm personally not a fan of the remasters. Dream Team's new graphics were great, but seeing the same models, voice clips and general sound design over and over and over again just gets... boring. I actually prefer the more pixelated look of the older games
I am a fan of the graphics myself, however they shouldn't have reused as many sprites as they did. Toads have never looked more plain and boring (Even the 2 latest paper mario games had more expressiveness than this), they could have done with more exaggeration like they did with the remastered sprites for Popple and Cackletta, and they could have maybe done something with the colors, such as making some things more vibrant.
Overall, I'd say that they could have done better. I am not tired of the graphics, just dont want them reusing the same sprites over and over again. Atleast give the same sprites some new animations, like with Mario and Luigi's battle animations.
They have steadily gotten better every game to the point that they barely even look like the Dream Team models anymore, besides, why fix what isn’t broken?
@@hyperdrive282 Exactly. Although a little change my be good, why waste all the effort they put into making the sprites in the first place? Dream Team took so long to develope mostly because of the sprite work alone. If I spent that long on valuable assets for games, I would want to use them more often too.
Just a correction: Dream Team and beyond still uses *sprites* for the characters, only using models during Giant/Papercraft battles
The next Mario and Luigi rpg need to take notes from Cuphead. A beautiful Cartoon graphics that homage the original Pixel artstyle of the first three games.
These both have my blessing, they are some of the best looking games on the system, the music is top notch, the combat is great, and they make aome improvements as well, they are by no means perfect remakes but i still love them. (Also im one of the few who legitamently enjoyed the side modes plus we got more fawful lines from them so thats a plus.)
No infinite Magic Mirror and Mario doesn’t go “Waho!” With the Head spring special attack, he does but he sounds like he’s depressed.

@@kieranstark7213 Or maybe, maybe, he just doesn't consider that bad enough? Or even considers that nitpicky at best?.
He mentioned how they take out the charm of the original. He mentions how things like the hammer bro and boos are homogenized

Yeah, that's a pretty awesome detail they added.
Cheese go well with drumsticks
We need one of two: A Parthners in Time remake that fix things to the point it becomes one of the best, or a new incredible game for the switch, or better, BOTH.
Rip Paper Jam
What do you propose PiT DX "fix" that wouldn't involve a complete overhaul. As far as I understand people only moan about two things - linearity and Bros items. They could restore Bros points for the remake and get rid of the item stocking of those attacks but the linearity is fundamentally woven into the game. Keep in mind PiT is one of my favorites in the series because I don't have a pathological aversion to linearity like most gamers (who don't even seem to realize that ALL M&L games are completely linear - they just have open hub worlds to lightly disguise this fact), but they're not going to change the game's fundamental layout so what exactly did you have in mind?
Neither is going to happen
@@ThrillingDuck I don't think the linearity of PiT is that much of an issue, I like just having a straight line to go in and having fun doing it. I think the main issue is how spammable the bro's moves are and how spongy the bosses are in the late game, they could fix it by making coins more scarce so you can't just buy 50 thousand cannonballers and destroy everything, and also making beans non-renewable so fawfuls shop doesn't feel like a cheap way of cheesing the difficulty of the entire game.
@@DannyCheezits I'm on board with all of this, though I still think restoring Bros Points would work a little better than money scarcity personally. Not that it seems likely PiT DX is ever gonna happen now anyway with Alpha Dream out of commission :(
also I didn't see much slow down on M & L BiS, maybe because I played on a new 3ds and they optimized it for the new 3ds and its better processing power
maybe
bluemario610 I’ve a new 3ds too and I still find the game to be quite sluggish at times though
BiS DX definitely runs smoother on a new 3DS compared to a classic 3DS. Although it still chugs at points (giant battles mostly)
Never clicked on anything faster in my damned life.
Brandon Green lol same
These 2 are an automatic blessed from me, I absolutely love how they updated them, especially BISDX.
And that's coming from someone who's favorite game ever is BIS, but God damn did the remake blow me away.
I'd actually like to see Fawful's Minion one day take on a game like Sonic & The Black Knight, Crash Twinsanity or Mega Man X8
X8 would be great. I hope this comment gets more upvotes.
"I'm certain that it's the last time they'll use dream team's art style"
Ouch.
Ok we get, you like poetry.
I haven't gotten the remakes yet, but I'm excited to!
But I'm still sad there's no Partners in time remake... That was my first ever Mario RPG.
theres ONE thing i find unforgivable about BiS DX
luigi's sprite doesnt dance on the level up screen.
in the original version, luigi does a fun little shuffle, in the remake, he just stands there.
I got a 2DS last Saturday and played Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, and it is amazing, I'm almost at the end of the game! After I finish it, I'm gonna play Bowser's Minions Mode! Then when I'm finish the game, I'm gonna get and play Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey!
I gotta say, I love how the intro has that part where it rhymes, and the way you talk, its almost cartoonish! Great work!
The super star saga remake booted out Geno , it's MESSED by default .

@@vaccuumhelmet521 pretty sure he means the original m&l game, superstar saga
Blank Name ok.
You know I think the problem with the art direction in these remakes isn’t the the sprite work itself. It looks great. It’s that it just doesn’t look as good as in a 2d game. Dream team had these 2d sprites in a 3D plane most of the time, along with the battles. Since the remakes are of a game that was originally 2d, they just weren’t meant for a 2d overworld. And I’m not saying the overworld is literally only left and right, but the overworld in dream team was *actual* 3D models. It was an actual 3D game.
I honestly prefer the remakes of the two without a shadow of a doubt.
Edit: ...mmmeeh
For me:
Superstar saga DX is better
Bowser’s Inside Story original is better
Nicholas Ali HORAY
For me: Superstar saga DX is better
Bowser's inside story DX is equal to the og.
On my 3ds I play ss dx and bis NOT dx
My thoughts exactly. They should have made a remake of Partners in Time. They knew the mistakes they made in this game, so why did they had to ignore it and make a remake of a game that was already successful?
I like SSDX, but the Bowser's Minions section actually managed to piss me off.
I haven't played BISDX yet (at the time I send this reply), but I do hope the BJJ section is better than Bowser's Minions. And before I get replies saying that I'm not missing anything, I've already seen all the cutscenes. I'm testing the GAMEPLAY.
I haven't played the remakes but JESUS WHY DOES BOWSER LOOK SO MUCH SCARIER I LOVE IT
I’ve never seen another UA-camr put so much effort into videos like this, I won’t regret buying the remakes because of this
My favorite DS game of all time is actually Partners in Time. I just love how you can control two sets of characters at the same time, and the battle system is just awesome. Sucks that its the one game they didn't make a remake of. But maybe its a dodged bullet...
"Well, A, I'm sure that's the last time..."
He was right in all the wrong ways.
"It reminds me of Lion King 1/2 only...good."
Excuse me?
I’m not the only one who thought of the lion king and a half when I saw these side modes!?!? They really are quite similar.
they made the backgrounds in BIS DX be all super spectacular shiny and glossy and animated, yet kuzzle's furniture puzzles lay there motionless like a rock ='). with how lively the new backgrounds looked i was expecting the already animated kuzzle's furniture to look even more mesmerizing in the remake but nop, they're just still images... at least i can still enjoy the rest of the backgrounds.
and am i the only one who genuinely enjoyed roaring/blowing into the mic during giant battle as if i were bowser himself?
7:57 I found that instead of having to blow into the mic, you could just rub your finger over it really fast. It makes a similar sound and confuses the mic, giving you an excellent almost every time. And you don’t end up looking like an idiot if your playing in public. Try this out next time you go back and play this game.
Hmm I might try that as I'm expecting the game to come tomorrow in the mail
Thanks
Speaking as someone who played both superstar saga and bowsers inside story on release, based on what you said these remasters seem to serve as more than serviceable introductions to games a lot of people probably missed. Here’s hoping a new game with a new art style comes to the switch
I actually never had any lag issues for BIS DX. Also I wonder what he thinks about the bowser Jr's journey's battle theme, boss battle theme, and final boss battle theme.
3:50 Technically, they used the Paper Jam design mainly because of Bowser. There’s a difference in Bowser’s design between Dream Team and Paper Jam. But I do get what you’re saying.
I actually found the remakes overall more difficult than the originals. I feel like I'm the only one with this opinion.
Very happy that nintendo stuck to a style for once, instead of changing the formula up and breaking the franchise.
Rest in peace, paper mario.
"Felt like they made a magic marker mustache on the original"
Is that a SML reference?
One thing I can't get over is the new EXCELLENT sounds effect. I know it'd be hard to perfectly recreate the DS sound font, but I'd rather just put dream teams
3:58 'i'm certain this is the last time.'
Was this a forshadowing of alphadream going bankrupt?
Erny Purny :(
😢
One thing to note is that Yoko didn't actually remaster the music for Bowser's Inside Story, or even arrange the new tracks. It was a new set of arrangers Alpha Dream hired, likely because they couldn't afford Yoko at the moment or get her because she was busy. As for Superstar Saga DX I'm pretty sure she helped arrange most of the tracks, while some of the arrangers for BiS DX did others.
well, I feel like SS DX was great because it brought Superstar Saga to a newer platform, so that people who hadn't played the original could play it... BIS DX just, releases on pretty much the same platform... I must say that I haven't played DX, but I just don't feel like the sprites give off as much "charm" as the original ones...
Bowser also lost most of his charm in the DX... making him more like "angry evil bad guy" other than "slightly less evil bad guy who isn't really a bad guy for now" just... the change in design kinda is... ugly? I suppose...
You forgot to mention that psycho Kamek isn't in the remake, and neither is Geno.
Perhaps the reason why BIS DX was messed us because they were near bankruptcy. Like they are now
The original BiS is always going to be my favorite game in the series no matter what. The remake may not be as great as the original, but everytime I play the remake it puts a big dumb smile on my face.
I don't really understand the hate towards Dream Team's graphics. They seem okay to me. I'd say they're more improved for 3D, than pixel sprites.
and your probably right but I think Bowser look better in the original games
Sེkαnnick_
Definitely NOT better in the original Superstar Saga though. That one was weird.
Actually, the graphics in the remakes ARE pixel sprites. Just extremely detailed.
@@cosmosarts8709 Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say.
Ahh. Thought you were saying they were 3d model sprites.
Honestly, I feel like that a Bowser's inside story remake was uncalled-for and too early. Not only does the original game came out nearly a decade ago, (9 years AFTER when the DX released), the original game was also backwards compatible with the 3DS. I think the only reason we have remakes on the classic games is because after paper jam, the sales didn't meet expectations and they didn't want to go bankrupt, so they remade the "golden games" that sold well years ago. Too bad that Superstar Saga DX sold 500k and Bowser's Inside Story sold 34k (In Japan.)
I personally think that both soundtracks of BiS are on equal footing, also if the M&L games on 3DS looked this good i can't wait to see how they look on the Switch
Instead of sounding like he's pretending to be sick and in pain, Luigi now just sounds mildly disappointed.
I still want a Partner's In time remake.
Too be honest, Fawful Express and Junker were really hard in OG BIS
I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact *they nerfed Magic Window*
I personally don’t like the fact that Bowser’s body looks more realistic. The stylized version that the original uses is much less disgusting and more charming then some moments in the remake (like the carrot minigame) that made me want to gag. Also a few moments in BiS, like you said, are watered down because they couldn’t bother to use the old voice clips or remake them.
Mario & luigi superstar saga dx is awsome! But bis dx is kinda nah.
How dare you
I have to say that between ups and downs I equally like both remake and original. I hope the did better with the remake, but I'm not dissapointed.
I'm taking about BiS, SS DX is amazing.
Joel Blake It’s his opinion. Leave him alone
Buzzy Trombone
Do you feel attacked or something? Let Joel have HIS opinion. We all have the same voice here.
Gruntilda vs. Cackletta
First part is a diss contest. Gruntilda's part is completely in rhyme and she hasn't lost her touch one bit. Cackletta however, is positively ruthless with the burns.
Second part, both of them battle. Has several phases, both characters get a moment to shine with a metal remix of both their themes.
Final part, winner beats the other, somehow gets stronger. Faces off against The Super Mario Bros. teamed up with The Bear & Bird. Yoko pulls out all the stops, practically goes full Kingdom Hearts while still retaining the charm of Mario and Luigi series. Then suddenly, Grant Kirkhope chimes in with his usual score, except it's somehow even MORE Banjo-Kazooie than normally possible and it sounds like he's serious this time. The music clashes against each other, fighting for dominance, then starts working together in a glorious mix of old timey platforming goodness. Epic finale, the song ends with perfect timing on the last note as the mother of all witchy hags gets blown out of the sky with a Jinjonator Breegun plus Bros. Attack combo. Then, if you've collected your Jiggies and your Stars like a good little player, it then cuts to Bowser and Klungo growing giant, both of them hopped up on Klungo's potions and Kamek's magic. Cue Mumbo Jumbo and Humba Wumba showing up and casting their magic on Bad News Bears and Snark In Breegull Form. Both Banjo and Kazooie grow giant, and Kazooie gets her old dragon form back. Luigi is obviously having his jaw hitting the floor screaming in momentary panic and WTFing like any sane man would, but his bestest bro pats him on the shoulder and reassures him, pulling out two Mega Mushrooms. After a quick snack, the playing field is levelled.
And then you see the most perfect feature you could ever see in a video game.
*[Would you like to connect to Nintendo WiFi connection and find an ally?] [YES | NO]*
Fighting the very definitive final boss with someone who's doing it at the exact same time YOU ARE, somewhere in the world. One of you controls The Rare Duo, the other controls The Mushroom Men. And if you beat the game, it comes back as a feature as a reward, so you can always find someone to help out later. Or troll. We all have a little Fawful in us, after all~.
I can say, without a single doubt in my mind, that both of these wonderful remakes are BLESSED to the core! So glad they remade these great games. It’s sad they’re getting so much hate.
I agree, I own both of these Remakes and they are AWESOME :)
bro I love the REMAKES i think there great. I love Fawful has his own battle theme (even tho it’s Cackletta theme) I love the Dark Star and Dark Fawful themes :)
Animation quality aside. I like more the originals. Colors and pixel art being simpler worked great in those games
Personally, I enjoyed both of the remakes, even the side games were fun. They fixed the problems that both the originals had.
Here's hoping that they eventually remake Partners in Time, even if it's for the Switch
Or even a new game, I'm all for that too!
I'm thinking then reason they didn't make a PIT remake was because they are making a new game on switch, and that they wanted to get out these remakes before this new game is announced.(just a personal theory though)
For Superstar Saga, I played both the original and the remake, so both on that front.
I really like what they did with the superstar remake. The game played very very well and it felt like a major improvement overall from the original.
For Bowser's inside story, I played the original and loved it, it is definitely one of my favorite games of all time. I however never played the remake, nor do I intend to.
I had my concerns that the remake would not do enough to justify it's existence and would be significantly limited with the dream team art style and engine. By itself the remake looks good, however, for a remake of a masterpiece, it could have been better, significantly better, in every aspect: soundtrack, graphics, performance, engine, basically everything. It looked rushed and felt like an attempted cash grab when it was announced.
Hindsight is 20-20, but with how poorly the remake sold and with how it ended up costing Alphadream everything, this remake should not have been produced when it was. This remake did not overall improve upon the original and had several drawbacks that prevented it from being a true remake with it's limitations. It released on the wrong system, with the wrong engine, in the wrong time period. The only major improvements were the original tracks it implemented (yes even the new title theme on it's own), removing the need to blow into the microphone, and the graphics (though again, could've been much better had it not been limited with dream teams art style.). Everything else felt watered down. Honestly a damn shame Bowser's inside story didn't get the remake it truly deserved (no disrespect intended for those that did like the remake we got).
If I had to choose between one or the other, the remake for superstar saga, and the original for bowser's inside story.
3:57 it is the last time :(
I prefer the originals based on their styles. The first three games had a very distinct style each looking better than the next, then Dream Team comes along and overrides the old style, which in my mind defined the Mario & Luigi series, since every rendition before had the previous style. I think it wouldn't have been difficult for Nintendo to have made Dream Team with the older style with the dark borders around characters and enemies whilst still improving the graphics, but changing the entire style I feel was a huge mistake.
The Inside Story remake sucks cause it keeps trying to push Koopalings not being Bowser's Kids, a terrible canon that i refuse to accept.
Also the BFF's in Junior's Journey are supposed to be the same race as Midbus, wtf?
I want more Midbus in general cause hes cool and feels like a real rival for Bowser, but thats stupid.
That's only in the side story not in the main game though.
I played Superstar Saga as a kid and while it suffered from a common thing with me back then of I never actually beat it, I got pretty damn close. So close that the only reason I didn't beat it was because I couldn't triumph over the final boss.
But it's been years since I played it and I never played Bowser's Inside Story. So I've been searching for my answer for some time now as to whether or not I want to play the originals or the remakes when I eventually go back to this series. Did this video solidify the answer for me? Why yes it did.
And that answer is....................both.
I was kind of surprised you didn’t talk more about the new side modes. Regardless of your taste in gameplay, I adore the heart they put into the actual plots. Especially with the character development they have Bowser Jr. poor kid needed a hug when he and Kamek were stranded at the beach...
Also, I want to see a Blessed or messed episode centered around a Cartoon Network show at some point. I don’t care which one you pick.
It was really nice to see their interpretation of Bowser Jr and the explanation of why Bowser's minions are as devoted to him as they are.
Also seeing Kamek is always nice.
Maybe he plans on talking about it more later(hopefully)
Fawful's Minion : likes the Bowser's Minions sidestories
Me : finally!
3:58
Yep, you are right :(
Bowser X going into rage mode then healing all his health is the new PTSD to replace blowing into the mic in giant battles.
YEAH! This was a long time coming!
When I first played Superstar Saga 3DS, I liked it a lot, but over time I've changed my opinion. The original just sticks in my mind way more, and also I thought the changes to the overworld and battle mechanics did nothing but dumb everything down. Bowser's Minions was fun as bonus exposition, but not really fun as a game. The only thing I think was a definitive across the board upgrade was the music.
