Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions

A reimagined classic with a twist

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions takes the beloved Mario & Luigi RPG and gives it a fresh coat of paint on the Nintendo 3DS. Originally released on the Game Boy Advance, this re-release brings updated graphics, enhanced gameplay, and additional features to a new generation of players. The game keeps the core mechanics that made the original such a hit, with the classic turn-based combat system and humorous dialogue between Mario and Luigi. The addition of the Bowser’s Minions mode offers a fun twist, allowing players to control Bowser’s army in a new tactical strategy mode.

New gameplay modes and mechanics

While the main story remains largely the same, Bowser’s Minions provides a fresh and engaging side story. Players can guide Bowser’s underlings on their own journey, tackling puzzles and turn-based battles that complement the main story. This adds extra depth and replay value, as players manage an army of Minions, each with unique abilities that can be used to solve challenges in a unique way. The minion battles are fun, lighthearted, and a perfect contrast to the Mario brothers’ adventure, adding a tactical layer to the game.

A nostalgic yet new adventure

For fans of the original Superstar Saga, this version will feel like a comfortable return to the Mushroom Kingdom, with familiar characters and settings. For newcomers, it offers an accessible and fun introduction to the Mario & Luigi RPG series, with its witty dialogue, clever puzzles, and engaging combat mechanics. The added bonus of the Bowser’s Minions mode makes this version of the game feel like an expanded experience, offering something for both new players and long-time fans.
