'''''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''''' is a turn-based action [[Genre#Role-playing|RPG]] video game for the [[Nintendo DS]], developed by [[AlphaDream]] and published by [[Nintendo]], and the second title in the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]]. It was released in North America, Japan and Taiwan in 2005, in Europe and Australia in 2006, and in South Korea in 2010. The story of the game involves [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] time-traveling between their present and past times and teaming up with their infant selves, [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]], to stop the invasion in the past by the enemy alien species called the [[Shroob]]s. The English title is a pun on the term "partners in crime," referring to criminal accomplices or close acquaintances.
'''''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''''' is a turn-based action [[Genre#Role-playing|RPG]] video game for the [[Nintendo DS]], developed by [[AlphaDream]] and published by [[Nintendo]], and it is the second title in the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]]. It was released in North America and Japan in 2005, in Europe and Australia in 2006, and in South Korea in 2010. The story of the game involves [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] time-traveling between their present and past times and teaming up with their infant selves, [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]], to stop the invasion in the past by the enemy alien species called the [[Shroob]]s. The English and Spanish names of this game are puns on the title of the short story compilation ''{{wp|Partners in Crime (short story collection)|Partners in Crime}}''.


The game is primarily a turn-based RPG, and incorporates action RPG and platformer elements similarly to its predecessor. It takes many elements from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and revamps them to take advantage of the Nintendo DS's new features. While it makes minimal use of the touch screen (Mario must rub the dirt off [[Toadbert's Drawing|a drawing]] at one point), the game uses the addition of the {{button|ds|X}} and {{button|ds|Y}} buttons, the extra screen, and greater system resources. It was succeeded by ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', also for the DS, in 2009.
Though the game is primarily a turn-based RPG, the game mixes in action RPG and platformer elements, which is the primary gameplay point of the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. The game takes many elements from the first game, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and revamps it to take advantage of the Nintendo DS's new features. While it makes almost no attempt to use the Touch Screen (Mario must rub the dirt off [[Toadbert's Drawing|a drawing]] at one point), the game uses the addition of the {{button|ds|X}} and {{button|ds|Y}} buttons, the extra screen, and greater system resources. It was succeeded by ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' (which was also released for the DS) in 2009.


Like its predecessor, it is one of the few ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games to have been released in North America before Japan. However, it was re-released in the [[Wii U]]'s [[Nintendo eShop#Wii U|Nintendo eShop]] on June 10, 2015, in Japan first, and later that month in North America and the following month in Europe and Australia.

It is the only ''Mario & Luigi'' game in the series not available for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], though it can be played on any 3DS model via backwards-compatibility.

During Mario and Luigi's infancies, [[Shroob]]s from a withering [[Shroob planet|distant planet]] find the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and invade it. The invasion forces [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Peach]], [[Toadsworth the Younger]], and [[Baby Bowser]] (who had been attempting to capture Baby Peach at the time) to flee in the [[Koopa Cruiser]].

The invasion forces [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Peach]], [[Toadsworth the Younger]], and [[Baby Bowser]] (who had been attempting to capture Baby Peach at the time) to flee in the [[Koopa Cruiser]].


In the future, [[Princess Peach]], [[Toadiko]], and [[Toadbert]] travel to the past via [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s [[Prof. E. Gadd's time machine|time machine]], which is powered by the [[Cobalt Star]]. But when the device returns, it is occupied by [[Junior Shrooboid|a hostile alien]], forcing Mario and Luigi to use a newly formed [[time hole]] in the [[Peach's Castle|castle]] gardens to go to the past and find Peach. Before they proceed to [[Hollijolli Village]], they receive [[Stuffwell]], a talking suitcase made by E. Gadd, to assist them and help them carry supplies on their quest. Upon their arrival in Hollijolli Village, they are attacked and defeated by a trio of [[Shroob]]s, but Baby Mario and Baby Luigi arrive and save their adult selves soon afterward. The adult Mario Bros. join the rest on the Koopa Cruiser, but the cruiser is attacked by a [[Shroob Missile]] from [[Princess Shroob]], the leader of the Shroobs, and crashes into [[Bowser's Castle|Baby Bowser's Castle]] where Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi find a Cobalt Star Shard. They travel through another time hole to the present-day Princess Peach's Castle with Toadsworth and Baby Peach, who they leave behind as they return to the past through a new time hole opened by the [[Cobalt Shard]].

The time hole leads to [[Toadwood Forest]], where the group finds a weakened Toadiko wrapped in a tree's branches. She manages to tell them that the Shroobs have kidnapped Peach before the tree sucks away the last of her [[vim]]. [[Shroob saucer]]s then attack and fire at Toadiko and she turns into a [[Shroob mushroom]], which the aliens use to fuel their ships. The Mario Bros. travel to the Shroobs' [[Vim Factory]] to shut down the operation. The babies receive [[hammer]]s after they defeat the [[Hammer Bro]]s. and when the protagonists defeat the [[Swiggler]], they briefly obtain a second Cobalt Shard before Baby Bowser steals both shards and [[Kamek]] picks him up and they flee.

After a brief stop in Peach's Castle of the present and learning the [[Spin Jump|Toadsworth Twist]], the protagonists use another time hole to travel to [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] of the past, where all the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s have disappeared. They find Kamek and follow him back to Baby Bowser; Kamek attacks them, but is defeated and they chase after Baby Bowser, who swallows the Cobalt Shards when they corner him. All of them are then eaten by a massive Shroobified Yoshi monster, [[Yoob]]. Inside Yoob, they find the missing Yoshis and an amnesiac Toadbert, who is carrying a partly obscured drawing that he made of what happened during the battle between Peach and Princess Shroob. After the Mario Bros. and their baby counterparts defeat [[Sunnycide]], an egg monster, everyone escapes Yoob, including Baby Bowser, who coughs up the Cobalt Shards later on after choking on the last remaining [[Yoshi Cookie]]s.

After learning the [[Bros. Ball]], the protagonists next visit [[Gritzy Desert]], where they meet [[Kylie Koopa]], and find a secret entrance to the [[Koopaseum]], arriving in time to witness Princess Peach being swallowed whole by [[Petey Piranha]]. The brothers defeat the [[Shrooboid Brat]] in the arena, angering Princess Shroob who breaks the floor and sends them falling into [[Gritzy Caves]]. The brothers fight and defeat Petey Piranha, recovering a Cobalt Shard and saving Kylie Koopa (who had almost been fed to him too). They find Princess Peach, whose face is covered by a Shroob mushroom, and take her back to the present-day castle. Bowser attempts to kidnap her, but falls through a time hole to [[Thwomp Volcano]].

After learning the [[Bros. Ball]], the protagonists next visit [[Gritzy Desert]], where they meet Kylie again, and find a secret entrance to the [[Koopaseum]], arriving in time to witness Princess Peach being swallowed whole by [[Petey Piranha]].

They find Princess Peach, whose face is covered by a Shroob mushroom, and take her back to the present-day castle, where they learn the [[Baby Spin]] and [[Baby Cakes]]. Bowser attempts to kidnap her, but falls through a time hole to [[Thwomp Volcano]] after Toadsworth makes Bowser break the bridge.
After learning the [[Baby Spin]] and [[Baby Cakes]], the brothers follow Bowser and travel to the top of the volcano. When they arrive, they find Peach's crown. After that, the volcano erupts and they flee down the right path. They meet Professor E. Gadd's [[Elvin Gadd (past)|younger self]], who thinks up of an idea of making a machine that could douse the volcano's fire, which the older E. Gadd creates in the present time. He then uses his quickly built invention to spray water into the time hole and stop the volcano. After a skirmish with the angry resident, [[Mrs. Thwomp]], the Mario Bros. are carried into the volcano by her husband, [[Mr. Thwomp]], where they solve various puzzles and fight and defeat Bowser and Baby Bowser (who had been shot into the volcano after being blown away from Yoshi's Island). Bowser is sent careening back to the present while Baby Bowser flies off on his own, but before the protagonists can collect the princess, she is sucked up by the [[Shroob Mother Ship]]. The brothers board the ship and team up with Kylie to try and save Peach, but they all simply end up being ejected from the vessel, and also realize that Princess Shroob was disguised as Peach the whole time. The four Mario Bros. land in [[Toad Town]], which now lies in ruins and is largely deserted, except for two elderly Toads who run a shop. From there, they travel to [[Star Hill]].

Kylie lands back in Yoshi's Island on Toadbert, who regains his memory. The four Mario Bros. land in [[Toad Town]], which now lies in ruins and is largely deserted, except for two elderly Toads who run a shop. From there, they travel to [[Star Hill]].  


There they find the [[Commander Shroob]], his team of [[Support Shroob|Support Shroobs]], and a [[Shroob-omb]] who engage them in battle. Once the Commander Shroob and his team are defeated, the four heroes head to the top of Star Hill where the protagonists talk to the [[Elder Princess Shroob|Cobalt Star's spirit]] which tells them that when they find five out of the six parts of the Cobalt Star, they can enter [[Shroob Castle]].

The heroes head to the [[Star Shrine]], where another Cobalt Shard is located. The brothers then meet up with Toadbert and Kylie Koopa, where they finally clean the former's picture, revealing the depiction of a second Shroob princess. Their group is attacked by the [[Elder Shrooboid]], which turns Toadbert and Kylie into Shroob mushrooms before it could be stopped by the Mario Bros. After collecting another Shard from the vanquished Shroob, the Mario Bros. travel to the Shroob Castle in the past by way of the future castle and its many time holes. Mario and the gang take down the Shroob Mother Ship and finally find Princess Peach being held captive by Princess Shroob, who they battle and defeat. Peach shows them the final piece of the Cobalt Star but does not let them merge it with the other pieces. However, before she can explain why, Baby Bowser swoops in and completes the Cobalt Star himself, releasing the [[Elder Princess Shroob]], Princess Shroob's twin who had been trapped in the star by Princess Peach. Baby Bowser is turned into a Shroob mushroom for his troubles and the Elder Princess Shroob attacks the Mario Bros. next, but they defeat her and she transforms into a Purple Mushroom.

Baby Luigi cries on the Shroob mushroom that used to be Baby Bowser after Baby Mario accidentally [[Ground Pound]]s him, restoring his former self. Professor E. Gadd then uses his [[Hydrogush 4000]] invention to sprays a liquid with the same chemical makeup as baby tears all across the Mushroom Kingdom of the past, restoring everyone else who had been affected by the Shroobs. The Mario Bros. discover Bowser unconscious in Peach's Castle in the present and the Elder Princess Shroob's mushroom flies into his mouth, turning him into [[Shrowser]] for one last attack on the Mario Bros. After Shrowser is beaten and the Shroob threat is finally put to rest forever, Toadsworth the Younger, Baby Peach, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi all use the repaired time machine and travel back to their own time, bidding farewell to their future selves.

===Stats===
Each brother has his own [[Heart Point|HP]], POW, DEF, [[Speed|SPEED]], and [[Stache|STACHE]] points. With enough EXP Points, a brother can level-up and increase each respective statistic. [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] lean towards certain stats: Mario and Baby Mario have increase in stats that favor of power and speed while Luigi and Baby Luigi's stats generally favor HP, defense, and stache. The babies have generally weaker stats than their adult counterparts barring their speed, where they outperform their adult counterparts at. Clothing and some badges can also alter a brother's stats.

|Both brothers toss fireballs at multiple enemies. The player should press the button of the brother when the big fireball is on the brother's hand.

If the brother's baby self is piggyback, pressing the corresponding baby button enables the brother to lob their fire balls, hitting aerial foes. This item can cause a [[burn]] status to enemies.

==Minigames==
Along the quest, the brothers can play various minigames. These minigames are required to complete for the brothers to progress in the game. The Thwomp Caverns minigame can be replayed; the second spaceship minigame of the Shroob Castle can also be replayed, as it is part of the final levels of the game, where Stuffwell can use his Special Service Warpulator to warp back before that point.
 
*At [[Thwomp Caverns]], located in the [[Thwomp Volcano]], the [[Thwomp Bros.]] host two minigames. The older Thwomp Bros. operates a slot machine. In order to use it where Mario and Luigi need to roll into [[Bros. Ball]] and collect as much jewels as possible. If enough jewels are collected, Baby Mario can stop the slots with his hammer. Depending on the difficulty setting and the slots aligned, the brothers can receive various items as rewards, including coins or beans.
*The other minigame is hosted by the younger of the Thwomp Bros. In this minigame, Mario and Luigi must use the [[Baby Spin]] on Baby Mario and Baby Luigi for them to use a [[Whirlwind]]. On their descent, they need to collect as many jewels as possible, with the prizes dependent on the number of jewels collected.
*In the [[Shroob Castle]], two minigames involving a spaceship is played. The first minigame involves piloting the [[Shroob Mother Ship]] in order to take down smaller [[Shroob saucer]]s; the other, later minigame involves using the head of the Princess Shroob statue of the spaceship to shoot Shroob saucers into the Shroob Mother Ship to destroy it. In this minigame, the height of the spaceship is controlled by Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi hitting blocks, where the spaceship rises to the height in tandem with the rising and falling bar. Hitting the block stops the bar, which indicates the height the ship rises to. Mario's block fires a laser beam, used to attack Shroob saucers. Once Mario fires his laser, the height of the ship resets to the bottom. All characters are not required to hit the block for Mario to use the laser. In the second spaceship minigame, the ship the brothers are piloting have a set number of hit points, which get decreased when a Shroob saucer runs into it. When all hit points for the player are depleted, the ship crashes and the player gets a Game Over.
 
==Beanhole locations==
{{main|List of beanholes in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time}}
In the game, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi can collect [[Bean|Beans]] by coming across beanholes -- X-shaped bean symbols on the ground -- all throughout the Mushroom Kingdom, in both present and past times. There are 167 Beans from beanholes. Beans can only be collected out of the ground after the player learns the Baby Drill move at Vim Factory. Hammer Bros. also explain how to drill into the ground and pick up beans.

*During the tutorial on how to use badges, Stuffwell says "capitol" when it is meant to be "capital" (in reference to the letters indicating which character has a badge equipped).
*In the North American instruction booklet, page 27 has a Japanese screenshot, where "Stache" is listed as "''Hige''".
 
*In the North American instruction booklet, page 32 has the following sentence: "''Approach either side and speak to the sales-Toad to make the corresponding menu will appear,''" where the word ''"will"'' is an unnecessary addition to the sentence structure.
