I remembered when I first played Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga back in 2003. I had a lot of fun playing it. It has outstanding game play, great graphics for a Game Boy Advance Game, lots of challenges and hidden content, humor, story, and music. I could go endless with the list, but I'm keeping it short like all my other reviews. I also like how Mario and Luigi finally team up together in an RPG for the very first time. This game never gets old, even though I played it for many years. As you can tell, the intro starts off with a hilarious story line. First, some evil witch enters the castle and steals Peach's voice. Then Toad panics and runs up to Mario's home. This was my favorite part of the story because Mario was taking a shower, and Toad suddenly disturbs his bath time. Obviously, he was wearing a towel, and got mad at Toad. Then he grabbed Luigi with him (he was hanging up the towels outside). I could go endless with the humor part, but I won't spoil you 100%. Usually, Mario games have a weak story, but this game has immensely improved in this area.

The graphics and music is really spot on. The music is pretty catchy, and it fits perfectly with the game. It may sound a little bit kiddish to you, but Mario themed music was always a little bit on the childish side, so get used to it. You also may find it humorous that Mario and Luigi don't speak English this time around. Instead, they speak in gibberish which is like how the Sims characters talk. The graphics are also amazing. Everything looks smooth, bright colorful, and the outlines are also smooth. Everything looks up to par with Game Boy Advance Graphics. Also, there's a lot of detail in the foreground and background to give it three dimensional effects. This game is not too easy or too hard. There are a lot of hidden challenges and items to find, but the controls are simple enough for everyone. The difficulty level is just about right for the most part.

Presentation - 10 It has a hilarious/strong story, and core challenges of the game prevent if from becoming too easy or hard.

Graphics - 10 They are generally up to par with GBA graphics, and the frame rate is smooth.

Sound - 8 Although the music sounds childish, it still sounds epic at some areas of the game. It may be strange listening to Mario and Luigi speak gibberish sometimes.

Gameplay - 10 The controls are tight and responsive.

Lasting Approval - 8 This game will take you a long time to complete, but the replay value is somewhat limited.

Overall 9.2 out of 10 Game spot score 9.0 out of 10
