Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga 2003

Is it still worth playing?

AlphaDream's 2003 role playing game for the Game Boy Advance, directed by Yoshihiko Maekawa with music by Yoko Shimomura. It is set mainly in the Beanbean Kingdom, where the brothers recover Princess Peach's voice, stolen by Cackletta and Fawful, with Bowser joining them. On the overworld Mario and Luigi move together, one leading, and abilities expand, with a hammer that flattens Mario to fit through gaps and Mario riding on Luigi's shoulders to hover. Battles are turn based with each brother on a button, A for Mario and B for Luigi. Timed presses make attacks stronger and let you dodge and counter, and joint attacks spend a pool of points. It is the first Mario & Luigi game. Because each brother has a button and presses are timed, every turn of battle still involves timing as well as choosing today.
