a super adventure with the super superstars in a super saga!

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

YES YES YES YES. ok, calming down, sorry, this just happens to be my all time favorite mario game. its a wonderful RPG with a perfect sprinkle of mario goodness. the story begins with an emissary from the kingdom neighboring the mushroom kingdom, the beanbean kingdom, the emmisary is visiting princess peach in order to improve relations between the two kingdoms and presents princess peach with a gift that turns out to be a contraption that steals her voice, the emmisary luaghes and drops her guise to reveal the green countenance of cackletta, the beanbean kingdoms own bowser eqiuvelant. her right hand man fawful uses his oddly shaped headgear to absorb the gaseous cloud containing peaches voice and they escape. upon hearing the news mario and luigi rush to the castle to find bowser there, before they can begin fighting toad explains what happened and informs the player that peaches voice was replaced by explosive language (literally) she begins to talk but instead of words in her speech bubble a bunch of strange symbols appear and fall to the ground and explode. bowser laments that he cannot kidnap her in this state without wrecking his castle, and in a moment of mutual need he agrees to take mario and luigi to the beanbean kingdom to retreive her voice. and the story begins here.

the gameplay consists of a very classic zelda-ish open world, but unlike zelda, the fighting mechanics are turn based, and with three main single attacks (the other two become availble later in the game) there are also bro-attacks, where mario and luigi attack together and you have to press buttons in order to get the most damage. this in addition to the sheer amount of different kinds of badges and slacks, both of which change stats and have special effects when worn, the battles are fun and challenging.

and as if that wasnt enough there are a few minigames that can be found all across the map, one of which is a color matching game akin to.. candy crush i guess.

with all this i have one thing to say that is bad about this game, it is a little hard to control at times, although this is minor and could just be my own system responding to age and use. so would i reccomend you get this? YES, just YES.

I just got this today and I was so glad, but a little wary at the same time

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

I just got this today and I was so glad, but a little wary at the same time. My sister used to have this game, but she removed the sticker stating what the game was... And she got the game when it actually came out which was YEARS ago so I have no idea what the actual game sticker looks like. So I was only wary if it was legit, and it is which I was glad. (I may not remember the sticker, but I do remember seeing the gameboy player and the Alphadream Corporation's logo before the game's start screen so I know it's legit.) This game was good even though I never got to finish it. So after YEARS and YEARS of not playing it maybe I will get to finish it!

I only got the cartridge, but really that is all you need. So if you don't want to play a bunch of money for the box and instruction manual included then the cartridge is good choice for you. If you want to know the start of the Mario & Luigi series of games or even get into it then you should definitely play this game!

Also another pro of this game is Luigi. That is all you need to know (imo).

Fantastic Game, Although A Little Too Easy

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a great RPG, even for those (like myself) who are not overly fond of turn-based combat. The story is not the most compelling, but fits in the Mario universe quite well. Its easy to play and fun to play. There is much humor to be had here as many of the "cutscenes" are quite hilarious. My only and biggest problem with this game is it is soooooooo easy. For example, towards the end of the game, you will be facing several bosses one after another. (Think "Victory Road" in the pokemon games.) Unlike Pokémon however, after each boss fight you automatically get all your health and power back to 100% and have the option to save. I found this unfortunate because you don't get the satisfaction of beating a particularly difficult part. Its not difficult, its incredibly easy. I had bought many many mushrooms (think "potions") in anticipation of needing to restore my health since I knew I was coming to the end of the game, and assuming it was going to be much more difficult than the rest of the game. Not true, its very easy to beat so children shouldn't have a problem with difficulty. All in all though, it was still a fantastic game and I cannot wait to play the other games in the "Mario and Luigi" franchise.

Got another fake from amazon

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

My game ended up being fake, at the hooniversity there's a glitch that makes it so no button works till you hit the R button, this is the kinda thing that happens with fake games, there's glitches that make no sense. My GBA is perfectly fine, so on top of paying extra to get my game quicker, it also happened to be fake.

Charmantes und forderndes RPG mit den beiden Nintendo-Brüdern!

Reviewed in Germany on August 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

Es ist ein Liebling unter Nintendo-Fans: „Mario & Luigi – Superstar Saga“ aus dem Jahre 2003. Die RPG-Reihe hat hier ihren Ursprung und ist bis heute ein Garant für verrückte und fordernde Spielstunden. Mein Interesse wurde jedoch vom fantastischen und bisher letzten Teil „Dream Team Bros.“ für den 3DS geweckt. Und spielte ich den wunderbaren ersten Teil für den Game Boy Advance und ich war wieder hin und weg vom Charme und der tollen Welt des Spiels.
Allerdings muss ich gestehen, dass ich das Spiel nicht zu Ende spielen konnte. Warum? Das weiß ich nicht genau, mein Advance hat sich plötzlich ausgeschaltet (vermutlich leere Batterien). Gut, dachte ich, neue Batterien rein und weiter geht’s, aber dann der Schock: Der Spielstand war weg! Da half kein Pusten, Säubern oder Beten, alles war weg und dabei war ich gerade im letzten Part des Spiels angekommen, Bowsers Schiff! Der Advance wurde mitsamt dem Spiel erstmal gegen die Wand gedonnert (und hat es ohne Probleme überlebt!). Obwohl ich also das große Finale des Games nicht erleben konnte und eigentlich nie vorher ein Spiel rezensiere, bis ich es beendet habe, so habe ich doch jede Menge Stunden in „Superstar Saga“ investiert und denke, dass ich meine Meinung hier niederschreiben kann.

Die Story beginnt, als Prinzessin Peach von Königin Mamella aus Bohnenland einen Besuch erwartet. Als diese jedoch eintrifft, stiehlt sie der Prinzessin die Stimme und wer muss wieder ran, um Peach zu helfen? Mario, genau! Aber mit dabei ist auch sein geliebter Bruder Luigi, der zu Beginn etwas ängstlich daherkommt, aber dennoch Mut beweist und mit nach Bohnenland reist…

Für diejenigen, die noch nie ein „Mario & Luigi“-Spiel gezockt haben: Keine Sorge, die Story ist keineswegs so simpel gestrickt, wie die in den „Bros.“-Spielen der Jump N' Run-Reihe. Schließlich geht es hier um ein RPG-da muss man schon mit deutlich mehr auftrumpfen und das machen die Entwickler auch! Mit Mario und Luigi erkundet man Bohnenland in einer tollen „Open-World“, in der man unendlich viele Charaktere und Gegner trifft. Dabei ist alles so wunderbar charmant und witzig zugleich aufbereitet. Klassische Nintendo-Charaktere haben ihre Auftritte, aber auch viele Neue. Zwar sind die Dialoge sehr klischeebeladen und viele Figuren eindimensional, aber wer erwartet denn ein tiefgründiges RPG mit Mario und Luigi? Hier geht es um Spaß! Das Spiel bietet trotz der einfachen Erzählstruktur viel Witz, Ironie und die ein oder andere Überraschung. Und auch wenn ich das Finale leider nicht erleben konnte, so bin ich doch ziemlich sicher, dass es mindestens genau so unterhaltsam ist, wieder Rest des Spiels!

Das Gameplay ist super! An der Oberwelt lassen sich Mario & Luigi mit dem Steuerkreuz bewegen und beide haben mit dem A- und B-Knopf eine eigene Aktionstaste, die auch in den Kämpfen wichtig ist. Damit kann man angreifen, ausweichen, gegen Blöcke springen, Felsen zerschlagen und und und… Im Laufe des Spiels gibt es mehr und mehr Fähigkeiten, die man erlernt und es ist immer wieder spaßig, das neu Erlernte einzusetzen. So auch die Angriffe, die sich nicht nur in einzelne Attacken unterteilen lassen: Es gibt Paar-Attacken, verschiedene Orden und Kleidung, die die Brüder aufwerten können. Ja genau, aufwerten! Mario und Luigi haben eigene Stats, wie Angriff, Defensive, Geschwindigkeit, HP usw. Durchs Kämpfen bekommt man Erfahrung und diese lässt sich einsetzen, um bestimmte Stats zu verbessern (für Kenner von RPG's sicherlich nichts Neues, ich weiß).
Hier stört mich nur, dass man die Paar-Attacken nicht trainieren kann, sondern nur in ernsten Kämpfen probieren muss. Das hat mir in „Dream Team Bros.“ So gut gefallen, aber das ist auch nur ein kleiner (und mein einziger) Kritikpunkt.
Daneben gibt es unzählige Aufgaben, die man lösen kann, aber nicht muss, zum Beispiel gibt es verstreute Bohnen zum Sammeln, mit denen man neue Schätze erringen kann. Ab und zu muss man auch mal getrennt mit den Brüdern spielen, sehr klasse! Und natürlich lässt sich immer regelmäßig Speichern (falls man keinen Advance hat, der von selbst die Daten löscht -.-).

Weiterhin besticht das Spiel, neben seinem gigantischen Umfang, mit einem ordentlichen Schwierigkeitsgrad, vor allem die letzten Gegner werden immer raffinierter und stärker, da heißt es geschickt aufzuleveln!
Besonders gelungen ist aber wieder das Design des Spiels, eine lebendige und farbenfrohe Welt, mit verschiedenen Terrains, skurrilen Figuren und tollen Animationen, wie zum Beispiel Mario und Luigi selber!

Obendrauf gibt es auch wieder einen Soundtrack, der neben einigen Ohrwürmern eine tolle Grund-Untermalung für das gesamte Spiel bereithält. Musikalisch wieder top, aber das war nicht anders zu erwarten von so einem Spiel von Nintendo.

Fazit: Wer die „Mario & Luigi“-Reihe noch nicht kenne gelernt hat, sollte das schnell nachholen! Jetzt schon ein Klassiker auf dem Advance, den es mittlerweile auch auf dem „e-shop“ für die Wii U gibt. Ein herrlich, witziges und charmantes RPG mit den beliebten Nintendo-Helden! Und jetzt fange ich halt von vorne an, aber das ist ja nicht so schlimm, wenn das Spiel so gut ist! ;)

Il gioco è divertente, ben sviluppato e contraddistinto da una giocabilità immediata ma non per questo facile.
L'avventura è molto piacevole, allietata da personaggi simpaticissimi. La grafica è adorabile, colorata e gradevole, il sonoro è sfizioso e il livello di difficoltà è ben calibrato.
