Mario and Luigi Partners in Time Description

In their second adventure, Mario & Luigi team up to save Princess Peach from the clutches of the Shroobs, monsters from the Dark Purple Mushroom planet. Peach is captured as she tests a newly-invented time machine, so it's left up to our heroes, Mario and Luigi, to use the time warp portals to save the Princess and stop the Mushroom Kingdom being taken over by one of the weirdest enemies ever seen. But they're not alone; diapers and dummies can mean only one thing, Baby Mario & Luigi are making a return as well! During their time travels the Mario Bros. bump into themselves as babies. As well as working in pairs, all four Mario Bros. can team up when the going gets tough. Two heads may be better than one, but four are definitely better than two! Brothers should always stick together and the Mario Bros. certainly do - allowing them to perform special moves and use their combined abilities to tackle the obstacles in their way. They can also split up and solve puzzles by accessing different areas at the same time. Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time for the DS takes full advantage of the console's dual screens. Battle scenes span both displays, giving action scenes a full dramatic effect, and for enemies that are so big, or just plain weird, a single screen is simply not enough! So prepare to step back in time for another wacky adventure from Nintendo.

DS lacks a well-rounded RPG game until they finally released Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. This game has a brilliant storyline and the battle system is easy to learn. They added some new features such as Baby Mario and Luigi, more Bros. Items, and enemies. This game starts out easy, and ends not too hard. The puzzles are simple and fun, and there are not much chances that you have to restart the game because you messed up. I love the humor in this game, especially of what they done to Luigi. The only downside is that this game is too short, and it loses its appeal after you beat the game (unless you are trying to collect beans).

A very simply presented adventure game that draws you in with its typically Nintendo-ised design. In terms of first party games, Nintendo consistently rule the roost. Quality can make or break a game and this title does not fall short. The genre is one you will love or hate, but even the doubters will be won over by the touch of class that Nintendo can add to what is simply a 2D scroller. If a fault is to be found in the game, it is that it can get a bit samey and some boss levels are frustrating and may require many replays before a victory can be found. My advice. Give it a rent. You may well be won over by its charm !

Features

In this sequel to Mario & Luigi.: Superstar Saga, the Mario bros. team up with their young selves on a quest of lunatic proportions. Control both sets of bros. to explore the very fabric of time and take on an evil alien entity known as the Shroobs.

Duke it out with crazy foes using the celebrated fast-action battle system unique to Mario & Luigi games. Dodge enemy attacks individually, then use items like the Trampoline and Cannonballer to team up all four bros. for super moves.

The second screen will quickly become the players' best friend as they use it to study the land, keep track of the pair of bros. not under their control and even maximize combo moves in battle.
