    With the release of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, it's time to start cleaning up the backlog of Mario classics that I missed. To celebrate the movie's release, we gather today to discuss an unlikely Game Boy Advance RPG known as Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. After messing with it in Switch Online, I just knew I had to play this game. Between the GBA version and 3DS remake, I adored my time with it.

    I remember when getting a new game felt like an *event.* And the manuals played into the magic of it all. Opening up a full-color manual and seeing the story synopsis, the character art, the character bios, etc. ... It felt like getting a new book AND a new game all in one! Flipping through the manual acted as a sort of primer; the preliminary event before the main event of the game began...
    But nowadays, that magic is gone-- especially so with digital only games.

      That's a you problem man. I still get excited whenever a game comes out that I've been looking forward to.
      Manuals were nice but by no means has their absence made gaming somehow worse. At most you look at it for 3 minutes and then... well, play the game.

    for the bonus roll, just go for a different stat every level and it will naturally give you higher stats almost all the time. if you just do one, your chance for a low roll increases.
    that said, i think just getting attack was overall still the better option for speedrunning. but anyone else, just go through each stat and then do it again

  • @angelo12mx
    @angelo12mx Рік тому +2

    What me bothered the most is like the ''eerie'' stuff as a child. You have that creepy tree that is now drastically changed to more kid friendly and on the last boss when the music suddenly stops and when you meet and talk with bowletta, the music speeds up to let you know that this would be a tough one and you probably gonna die and that made me very nervous. and they removed that. But those little things, even though it is very smal, makes a good game and that makes it very rememberable

    @davion4777 Місяць тому

    As someone who has been playing RPG for his entire life, I think punishing the player for attempting to flee a fight is completely normal. In most RPGs you can’t just flee from a battle, it comes with a price. This price can be literally money like in this game, or it can be a probability of the flee failing, and resulting in a free turn for the enemies. It’s completely normal. Players are supposed to fight and get some experience, thus fleeing is discouraged and should be used as a last resort.

  • @technogeek
    @technogeek Рік тому

    I was ammused that you mentioned how it's a lot of small numbers. I played both, but I still hold the GBA version in higher regard because of bros attacks being more damaging, and the remaking ironing out gba exploits.
    Regarding the small numbers, did you use the mush badge during your playthroughs? The mush badge will increase your POW for every mushroom, super mushroom, ultra mushroom,(was there a max mushroom?) And even 1 up mushrooms. So if you bulk up on coins, and max out each mushroom storage, you end up just breaking the damage stat on each boss.
    Oh and for everyone new to this game. Give a bro a red pepper in a boss fight, let that bro KO, and then use a 1 up mushroom. You'll be glad you did
