== Two more Screenshots ==

Gamekult.com offers two more screenshots: [http://www.gamekult.com/images/J000093168/]. I would upload them, but I ask before because they have Gamekult's watermarks: Where is the screenshot uploaded by Paper Jorge from, since this one doesn't have a watermark? --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 10:54, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
:Go ahead and upload them, and then if Jorge has versions of those screenshots without a watermark, he can easily update the image file.  On a side note: I see that there will be 2-D sidescroller moments.  Playing as Bowser and the Bros. may be connected as the babies and adults were in the previous title (the actions of one on one screen and the actions of the other on the other screen).  Finally, the map system seems to be updated, and the fat Toads look like they are normal Toads who have contracted an illness and are thus in the hospital.  All speculation at this point, so I won't put it in the article. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 14:45, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
::Speculative nature is allowed, says the template. In this case (unlike e.g. guessing Brawl characters was), the speculation has a good basis by comparing the screenshots to Partners in Time. I would add that and state it's speculation. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 15:12, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
:Here's some watermarkless versions: [http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=12131.msg525790#msg525790] [[User:CrossEyed7|CrossEyed7]] 15:29, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
[http://www.gametrailers.com/player/40748.html Trailer is here!] Should answer some questions. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 16:42, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
::From what I can see in the screenshots, it appears they are using a slightly different style of sprites in the game. Should this be noted in the article, or not until we have proof? {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 16:56, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

==Info==
So far I researched the game and found info. In the Video on part showed Bowser eating a Magic shroom that gave him the ability to suck air. (kinda of Kirby.) Thus this cause him to go to Peach's castle Punch a counter and fight Mario. After there little fight Bowser suck up Peach, Mario, Luigi and Toadworth (I '''think''').
Another part shows Ship (Maybe U.F.O know if there are Shroob.) attacking Bowser's Castle. Also featured in the video showed a Green Toad (Look much like the one in Super Mario RPG Lengend of the Seven Star that watch over Peach.) affacted by some illness. There also so a part when the player is in Bowser's body. (And i not sure but I think they're can control Bowser and Mario and Luigi at that point. SO far the plot is unknow and as well as the villan and that illness that affected the Toads. Lastly I heard rumor that the game works only on the Nintendo DSi but it hasn't been reveal yet so this it could false and maybe the game can work on an old DS. Well so that all I got. (Sorry for the messy paragraphy.) {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}} Oh and Toadette was spotted in the game unless it was Toadiko or some thing like that. And Fawful is rumored too.
:I watched the video, and it does appear that way. It would be a huge change in the RPG scene for Mario if somehow the main antagonist created a virus that affected the Mushroom Kingdom. (Perhaps a more serious RPG than usual?) Also, I don't think that the game will work ''only'' for the DSi. GameStop (and Cobold) told me that it's the same thing as the DS Lite, only without the GBA slot. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 17:12, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

[[Image:ML3overworld.png|thumb]]Look at the top of the Touch Screen and you will see walls who look like Shroobs. {{User:Arend/Sig}}




Sorry 'bout (I watch the video too.) Hmmm a main new (or old) antagonist started a illness. (Ooooppps I guess my info is waaayyyy off oh well.) I get wonder why Mario or Peach or even Luigi didn't get affected. (Maybe cause there humans.) Yeah about the Dsi it just like the DS lite but it contains added new features. {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

Some characters I saw in the video:
*Toadbert
*Toadsworth
*Toadiko
*Kemek (or a normal Magikoopa)
*A yellow Bob-omb
This game works also on the normal DS.
It looks like the game uses again a overworld unlike M&L2. {{User:Arend/sig}}

Oooopsss I thought I saw Toadette. So they return. (But there rolles are unknow.) Do you know if Fawful is in the game? {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

I don't know if it realy is Toadiko, but I think it's more likely for her to appear in this game than Toadette. Toadiko appeart in M&L2 so she might return. I remember Fawfull said in M&L2 he will do something in the future. Some enemies look like him. It's likely he's in the game.
*Also Bros. Items return, not Bros. attacks from M&L1
*There is also a meter in the under-right of the touchscreen (in Battle). You can do somthing when it is full, but it's unknown what. {{User:Arend/sig}}

:) Thanks.  Yeah I saw that too. It maybe used for a power boost or special attack. So far these Bros item have been sinc in the video. Green Shell and the Fire Flower. Bowser has his own but the only one shown is the one when he throw goomba up in the air then they fall and hit the enemies.:) Thanks. {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
Notice the additional command in the battle mode. There's Jumping, Hammer, Item, Bros. Item, Running away and a sixth command in the back, which looks similar to the meter on the bottom of the touchscreen. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 17:43, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

Those action command block look like the one in M&L SS.  {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
:I thought they look totally different to what we've seen before. I might be wrong, it's been a long time since I played the game. But Mario & Luigi's sprites are definitely new. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 17:53, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

The sixth command in the back can be used if the meter in the under-right of the touchscreen is full. I think it's a (strong) move done by both Mario and Luigi. {{User:Arend/Sig|And yes, the sprites are new.}}
::Perhaps a quicker way to access the Bros. moves too? {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 18:07, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

Or maybe it an Exp thing. (Uhh nevermind.) Or maybe a the return of the bros moves. {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
:Mario has a Mushroom on that bar, and Luigi has either a Freezy or a Lakitu cloud...maybe elements return in this game? {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 19:54, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

Now when using a fire flower, Mario and Luigi gain their Fire Flower Suits. (the white overalls and hat etc....) Now that was a NEEDED upgrade. [[Image:Hammer Bro Brawl artwork.png|30px]][[User:MC Hammer Bro.|<font color=green>MC</font color>]][[User Talk:MC Hammer Bro.|<font color=orange>Hammer</font color>]][[Special:EditCount?target=MC Hammer Bro.&doeditcount=Show+count|<font color=green>Bro.</font color>]][[Image:MP8 MCBallyhoo and Big Top Artwork.png|30px]] 19:55, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

Ehhh how is a mushroom an elements?  {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
:Revision: Mario has a Mushroom Bros. Move. I'm definitely leaning towards a charged-up Bros. Move system now instead of the Bros. Points. {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 20:17, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

Moved to the correct name. Here's the source: [http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/t6rlC6_5A_XIb0cdW9-uPKEj2vPE-9RS]. {{User:InfectedShroom/sig}}

I watched this trailer on YouTube, (sorry, no link, just search Mario and Luigi RPG 3) and in one part I see what looks like Shroobs attacking a castle. --[[User:Nerdy Guy|Nerdy Guy]]

Also, note that the icons of the Bros. Move meter fit prefectly into eachother. {{User:Freekhenstra/sig}}

[[Image:GreenandRedRPG3.png|50px]] I think this is Fawful. (He's short right?) {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
:Fawful has a bigger head, and no beard or hair. This image is by far not clear enough to say it's him. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 09:47, 20 October 2008 (EDT)

who ever said it woz prince peasley must be 'tarded.... {{unsigned|Lu-igi board}}

Hey that rude!! Please keep your rude comments to yourself. [[User:Princess Grapes Butterfly|Ambidextria]]

Actually, I zoomed in really close, and although it was really blurry, it looked more like prince peasely. Fawful has sort of a hooded robe, while the person seems to have a cape. However, the thing he is riding looks like something fawful would ride. So, either Peasley got a new vehicle, or Fawful changed his hood. Maybe it is not either of them?. {{User:Luigifreak/sig}}

That mushroom and moon icon power has been revealed!!  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3zKDOeQoTU&feature=PlayList&p=B0D98B7B88E57257&index=1 See here.] when those two icons combined, Luigi startes to eat a whole bunch of sweets and get fat. Then Mario throws Luigi. {{User:Grapes/sig}}

== UFOs ==

I see the trailer again in the best quality: the UFOs are green UFOs with yellow spots. I think Fawful is bakc, HAVING MORE FURYYYY that before. [[User:Koopalmier|Koopalmier]]

Yup that is [[Fawful]], but what is that star thing? [[User:Ninja Toad5|Ninja Toad5]]

Koopalmier, are you pretending to be me? Anyway, I don't think it's just Fawful, maybe it's Fawful with the Shroobs helping him. --[[User:Nerdy Guy|Nerdy Guy]]

Uhh the Shroobs lost basically all there power after Mario and Luigi delt with them (No more Princess Shroob or Elder Princess Shroob). Its more likely that Fawful has made a new army of his own deadly creatures. The UFOs are probably his creations (He is a genius with his inventions eg: Headgear and his mysterious Machine in his final battle). But it is possible that Fawful and the Shroobs have teamed up togeher to get their revenge. Don't rule any ideas out till the games release ;){{User:Storm Yoshi/sig}}

Hmm I thought all the Shroobs where killed by E Gadd's machine which had chemical that are like baby's tears and that there weakness.  {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

There are a goomba and a koopa and a Hammerbro popping out of the UFO's [[User:Ninja Toad5|Ninja Toad5]]

No, the Koopas are popping out of the castle, not of the UFOs.
[[User:Koopalmier|Koopalmier]] 18:31, 30 December 2008 (EST)

(I have the Japan release of the game) Fawful is the villain and almost all of his underlings are spin offs of usual enemies with 'Fawful' in them. There are fawful version goombas and koopas (some wear masks and stuff). And yes. He created UFO's... possibly based on the Shroob design - Raven

== Japanese Text ==

Maybe it would reveal something if we knew the meaning of these text boxes/bubbles?<br />
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/8981/japanesevc2.png<br />
The first one reads "Kinoko Town", the Japanese name of Toad Town. But what about the other texts? Could someone translate it? --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 08:26, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
:I'll just translate it here as a response to your comment on my talk page, if you don't mind. First of all, the text at the top left does say "Kinoko Town". The blue box reads "The Lucky Mushroom? has been earned!" which is probably implying that the mushroom isn't actually the lucky mushroom, seeing from its color. Bowser is screaming "NUGAHHHHH" which really doesn't mean anything. The huge taod on the right half is saying "Mr. Mario... Please help us." I hope that helped somewhat. {{User:Garlic Man/sig}}
::There's also some text on the bottom screen that says "キノピオひろば" at around 00:24 on the trailer.  I think that means something along the lines of "Toad Plaza," but it's pretty blurry, so I don't know.  It might be "キノピオひろは" or "キノピオひろぱ," too.  Those last two don't mean anything that I know of. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 11:14, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
:::Hmm, the three of those say "Kinopio Hiruba", "Kinopio Hiruha (or maybe Hiruwa)", and "Kinopio Hirupa". Man, I wish I could translate more than a handful of Japanese words. {{User:Kodomo no Jikan 4evur/sig}}

Here's rough translations of what those mean:

*キノピオひろば = List of Mario series characters corner
*キノピオひろは = List of Mario series characters to fathom
*キノピオひろぱ = List of Mario series characters sect mindedness

It's odd...to me, those three character groups look exactly the same. =| {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 12:10, 4 October 2008 (EDT)

To Kodomo no Jikan:[http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C This] might help you.  It has a confusing interface, but once you get used to it, it helps a lot.  Assuming you can actually figure out where the word boundaries are.  

To Stooben Rooben: Your translations seem really bizarre to me.  What is "List of Mario series characters" about?  Also, the difference between the three is in the last character.  The top and bottom ones have the diacritics "[[wikipedia:dakuten|dakuten]]" and "[[wikipedia:handakuten|handakuten]]" respectively, which alter the pronunciation and meaning.

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n159/YYXJKQJ/kinopiohiroba.png <br />This is the actual text.  As you can see, it's quite blurry.  I'm fairly sure that the second-to-last character is really "ろ" not "る," though.　　On the other hand, it could be "う" XD. I would like the Japanese language a lot more if fewer of its characters were so similar looking to others.  {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 12:45, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
:Yeah, after looking at it, it looks more like the "ro" character than the "ru" character. {{User:Kodomo no Jikan 4evur/sig}}

Alright, I asked a friend of mine from Japan what "ひろば" means, and she says it means field.  So it's "Toad Fields," which really fits pretty well. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 20:43, 6 October 2008 (EDT)

Kinopio Fields? It might be an area out side of Toad Town then. {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

[[Image:FawfulorPeasley.JPG|thumb|right|100px]]
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n159/YYXJKQJ/kinopiohiroba2.png <br />
Minutely less blurry.  I'm fairly sure it's "ひろば" at this point.  Also, here's an image of the source: <br />{{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 22:50, 6 October 2008 (EDT)
:It says "KINOPIO HIROBA". Trust me. It means something like "Toad Plaza" or "Toad Place". I speak and write Japanese fluently, and yes, it would make no sense if it was Hiropa or Hirupa or Hiruba or '''''ARRIVA!''''' (jklol). {{User:Garlic Man/sig}}

== Shroob Wall ==

[[Image:Shroobwall1.png]]This little pictiure is from the Map of Toad Town. Those walls look like Shroobs. {{User:Arend/Sig}}

The look like shadows to me. {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

If you look closely they're distinctly Star-shaped. Ztars, perhaps? {{User:Phoenix Rider/sig}}

Hmm perhaps Ztar doors? {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

Possible, but a Ztar has white eyes and this wall dark red. {{User:Arend/Sig}}

I have a crazy idea..... it probrably isnt right. Perhaps this area is really far into the game. Fawful may appear as the main villain in the beginning, but later on, their may be a bigger evil? ( think super paper mario) after theese gates dissapear, you can go on tho the final area. Just a thought. [[User:Luigifreak|Luigifreak]]

I agree maybe there is an even bigger villain seeing as how partners in time ended with princess shroob then elder princess shroob then shrowser maybe this one is the same --[[User:Count b|Count b]] 19:44, 6 February 2009 (EST)Count b

== Beta ==

You know, we might be looking at a beta vesion of the game, because the map might end up on the top screen and Luigi's sprites seem like they will be changed. So prepare to change the article dramaticly. --[[User:Nerdy Guy|Nerdy Guy]]

I think the map is on the touch screen for a reason. Maybe you can now use your stylus to scroll around the map. And what's wrong with Luigi's sprites, they look good if you ask me. But we yet don't know how it will look like in the future, so we will keep the article in the way it is now until more information comes. {{User:Arend/Sig}}

== Chancellor? ==

The green Toad in the trailer looks A LOT like the Chancellor from SMRPG. Do you think it could be him? {{User:Kodomo no Jikan 4evur/sig}}
:I wouldn't be surprised.  He's a recurring character in the RPG series. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 14:29, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
::I knew I wasn't the only one whom notice that. Anyway doesn't the Chancellor has a robe with a golden line. He looks alot like him but younger. Unless that is him but we need more sources. (To find who that Green Toad really is :0)  {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
:::I wasn't about to put that in the article. ;) {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 11:17, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
::::I know. :D <s> (But if some No0bie reads this and added it to the article then thats bad.) </s> {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

== Koopalings ==

Will the koopalings be in the game?
{{unsigned|Fannerw}}
:I dunno. Lets wait till we got more sources. {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}

I doubt it for afew reasons.
1.They are probaly using Bowser Jr. now since baby Bowser and the Koopalings apeared in ast Mario an Luigi games.
2.They are rare characters anymore,so well chance is againt them. {{unsigned|Megazario}}

== Do you think... ==

Being that the Chancellor is appearing, do any of you think that there will be partners that help out Mario and Luigi? I'm putting my money on a rogue Dry Bones... {{User:R.O.B 128/sig|How do I shot web?}}
:Do you mean partners like [[Kylie Koopa]] or like [[Koops]]? {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 16:32, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
::I meant ones like Kooper and the Yoshi Kid. I'm thinking that they will appear. [[User:R.O.B 128|☆R.O.B 128♂]] 16:35, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
:::Those kind of partners haven't yet appeared in the Mario & Luigi series, so I don't think it's likely. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 16:45, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
::Being that as it may, can you tell me how Kylie is a patner? She never helped me out *folds arms* [[User:R.O.B 128|☆R.O.B 128♂]] 16:52, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
::She gives ya scoop on the Sandy looking area. (I forgot the name. Plus it hasn't been comfired that the Green Toad is the Chancellor 'cause it could be false or not.) {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
:::Toadsworth has replaced the Chancellor/Minister a long time ago. He's even called the chancellor himself. Just because this Toad has the same color scheme as the previous chancellor, that doesn't mean by far that they are the same person. There's a very slim chance this is the SMRPG chancellor. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 07:41, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
:Thanks, Cobld, Princess and Arend. I appreciate it. :) [[User:R.O.B 128|☆R.O.B 128♂]] 16:39, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
::::This Toad isn't the Chancellor. The Chancellor has a white cap and green spots and this Toad a Green cap with wite spots. {{User:Arend/sig}}
:::::Arend it rights!! (I didn't notice that.) [[User:Princess Grapes Butterfly|Princess Grapes Butterfly]]

== WAITWAIT.. ==

The Nintendo DS and the Nintendo DSi have 2 different screen sizes, but the game can be seen being played on both handhelds... Could it be that the game was changed from the Nintendo DS to the Nintendo DSi similar to its prequel with the Game Boy Advance to the Nintendo DS?{{User:Mariofanical/sig}} 11:49, 18 October 2008 (EDT)

The DSi is just the new version of the Ds Lite. {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
::Nonooooo, well yes BUT, they have slight changes
*12% thinner than DS Lite
*'''Screens are 3.25 inches, an increase of .25 from DS Lite'''
*0.3-megapizel camera inside the system with a maximum resolution of 640x480
*3-megapixel camera on the back of the system
*Game Boy Advance slot has been removed
*SD card slot added to transfer photos and music between DSi, Wii and PC
*Music playback for AAC music files
*Enhanced speakers and audio
*DSi online store from which DSi applications can be bought using Nintendo Points
*Free-to-download Opera internet browser available at launch
*Power button relocated to below D-Pad
*Stylus relocated to below SD card slot
*New user interface similar to that of Wii
*Integrated Photo Channel and music playback
*Applications from the DSi store will be region-locked
{{User:Mariofanical/sig}} 12:10, 18 October 2008 (EDT)


I know :P. (It like a mini Wii.) {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
:Yea, but the screen sizes is different and so are the number if pixels. {{User:Mariofanical/sig}} 12:15, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
The launch trailer of the game showed the game being played on a DS lite. The montage of upcoming DS games showed it on a DSi, using the full screen size. The game is simply enhanced for a DSi, but compatible to the DS lite (so far). - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 12:24, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
::I think it work on a regular DS. When the Ds lite came out it was still working with old DS games like Super Mario 64 DS. [[User:Princess Grapes Butterfly|Princess Grapes Butterfly]]
:::I know that but, it might be that if the game is changed to be for the DSi, it might not be compatible with the DS, but that has not happened yet{{User:Mariofanical/sig}} 12:41, 18 October 2008 (EDT)

I don't think thats the case, isn't the DSi just a fancy DS lite (of sorts) meaning it would still play all the old (and new) DS games - Kamicciolo
:Well the DSi can probably play all the old games of course. But the Nintendo DS lite might not be able to play some new DSi games, (some games might need the larger screen of the DSi, others might need the camera, etc.){{User:Mariofanical/sig}} 13:13, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
::I can't see the screen size making such a big difference, but the camera would be the decider (unless they released an addon for the DS lite) - Kamicciolo
:::I can see the screen size making a big difference{{User:Mariofanical/sig}} 13:44, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
::::But wouldn't it be similar to widescreen, where TVs that don't have it just show what it can, and leave the side cut off? - Kamicciolo
So far we've seen the game being played on both a DS lite and a DSi, so there's little point in arguing here what other games might have. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 16:25, 18 October 2008 (EDT)

Maybe Nintendo will release a version for the DS and one for the DSi. Like they did for sometimes for the GameBoy and Game Boy Color. --[[Image:Ndy_guy_yi.png]][[User:Nerdy Guy|Nerdy Guy]] [[Image:Ndy_guy_yi.png]][[User Talk:Nerdy Guy|Nice Theorie, huh]][[Image:Ndy_guy_yi.png]]

There won't be an apart version for DS and DSi. There are no DS Lite-only games, even though it has a smaller screen. I don't get why everyone thinks there's going to be two versions, why would there be? The only DSi-only games are going to be DSiWare games. Also, the camera likely won't HAVE to be used in all new DS games, althrough it may be possible in some games. There's NO need to worry. {{User:Freekhenstra/sig}}
:Yea, they won't just make you go buy another DS just for a game, or release another version. The DSi probably just has a better resolution from the .25 increase maybe. {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}

this isn't the place to say, but guitar hero won't be playable on the DSi, as the 'controller' needs a gba slot (!!!) [[User:Lu-igi board|Lu-igi board]] 18:39, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

also, answer my question on da [[blooper]] talk page.....

I feel bad for those players. Anyway what does that have to do with Mario and Luigi RPG 3? [[User:Princess Grapes Butterfly|Princess Grapes Butterfly]]

== The name of the game ==

It was first Mario & Luigi RPG 3!!! (please note the 3 "!"). Then, in the trailer of the game, it's Mario & Luigi 3. I think the arrticles's name must be changed to a more recent name.
[[User:Koopalmier|Koopalmier]] 10:23, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
:I would prefer to wait until we get a more official name. We don't need to constantly move the article around the wiki as a new tentative name shows up. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 12:55, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
::''Mario & Luigi RPG 3!!!'' is the tentative (and most likely also official) title for Japan. ''Mario & Luigi RPG 3'' and ''Mario & Luigi 3'' are the tentative titles for the west, which will be changed. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 08:02, 1 November 2008 (EDT)

:It's the Japanese name, メタコロ病 ''Metakoro Yamai.'' Incidentally, "koro" can mean "roller," according to my dictionary. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 16:11, 15 November 2008 (EST)
:Oh I see. {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

well "Meta" means metal, but Metalroller disease doesent make much sense.--Luigi456

:I believe that it's imported from [[Wikipedia:Meta|the Greek]], probably through English. One of the meanings of "meta" in Greek is self, so... It could also be from "metabolism," what with the health focus of the game. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig|}} 20:40, 2 April 2009 (EDT)

==More Screenshots==
Does anybody know where we can can find more screenshots? I'm having trouble, because Google Image Search keeps finding anything with the words "Mario", "3", and "RPG". That means alot of screen shots of SMRPG, RPG hacks, and avitar pictures from fourom topic on the game. I even typed in "Mario & Luigi RPG 3 Screenshots", that didn't work. --{{User:Nerdy Guy/sig|Does anyboby have any ideas?}}

Nintendo only release three of four screen shots so far. [http://www.gamespot.com/ds/rpg/marioluigirpg3/images.html Yup its three]  [[User:Princess Grapes Butterfly|Ambidextria]]
:Then how come the article says the following:

[...]In a recently released photo, Mario and Luigi can be seen escaping through Bowser's rectum[...]

Then again, the photo does sound fake, because rectrum means butt-hole, and I don't think Nintendo would show that. (A least not until the game was released.) Also, you said there was '''3''' screen shots, but we have at least 5. --{{User:Nerdy Guy/sig|Is the screen shot fake?}}

I didn't wrote that and that might be spam. We have other image because someone took it from the offical video. (I don't know how.) [[User:Princess Grapes Butterfly|Ambidextria]]

==Lucky Mushroom?==

Here should be the wrong place to post this question, but why the Lucky Mushroom? page was deleted?

{{User:Guy Tim/sig}}
:It wasn't deleted, someone redirected [[Lucky Mushroom]] to [[Lucky Mushroom?]], but '''Lucky Mushroom?''' doesn't exsits {{User:Nerdy Guy/sig|Who did that?}}

Blitzwing delete here his reason -> ''"We had a proposal about banning stuff seen in unreleased game traller, Remember?"'' {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}} 19:15, 29 November 2008 (EST)
:Oh, I just saw it was redirect a couple weeks ago, so I thought that happened to it. Should we delete [[Bone Thwomp]] then? {{User:Nerdy Guy/sig| }}

I don't know. If that page gets delete then maybe the [[Metakoro disease]] will be delete as well? {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
:Nah, [[Metakoro disease]] has been officaly named in japenesse. [[Bone Thwomp]] on the other hand, has not been named in any languge. Plus, [[Metakoro disease]] has info on it from japennese sites. {{User:Nerdy Guy/sig|Let's give Blitzwing these resons first}}

Well we can find out the name when its released. {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

But that Lucky Mushroom is also officially named, though, it shouldn't have been deleted. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 04:41, 2 December 2008 (EST)

I'll restore it. But the image needs to be reupload. {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

If you haven't noticed, Bone Thwomp was deleted... =(
{{User:Guy Tim/sig}}
:Because we don't know its official name. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 11:23, 3 December 2008 (EST)
Ya, I 'now. {{User:Guy Tim/sig}}

:But, the [[Saucer]] isn't deleted, thought it's title is conjectural. There is a conjeture template on it. Never heard of that template? It's a template that gives the info that the name of the aticle is conjectural, or, unofficial. IF the name is known, we can remove that template and move the conjectural name to the official name. So I can hardly see that the Bone Thwomp article is deleted because of the conjectural name. Actually, it can be deleted because of lack of information, or fan-based (which is obviously NOT). So, It's stupid to think the Bone Thwomp article is deleted just because of the unofficial name. And, there are also other articles that was about earlier fragments of upcoming games. {{User:Arend/Sig|Got It?}}
::Not just because we don't know the official name, but also because it's from an upcoming game, I should have mentioned that. We know the official name of the [[Metakoro Disease]], but not of the Thwomp-like creature. There was proposal for this, see [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 2#New Subject Articles|here]]. It was made because of all those new articles on enemies and planets with unofficial names that were created before ''Super Mario Galaxy'' was released. The same would happen for this game without that decision. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 13:45, 14 December 2008 (EST)

:NEED MOAR SPOILERS. So, the Japanese name is confirmed, we see the 3 playabels characters at the logo (like in the two precedent games), moar images and an artwork. I love spoilers, so this made my week-end. Thanks. We also see that the spin jump is back and that the action commands need the stylus (like in Sonic Chronicles: the Dark Bortherhood)[[User:Koopalmier|Koopalmier]] 14:06, 12 December 2008 (EST)

マリオ＆ルイージ犬が一緒に仕事を！なぜ? = Means Mario & Luigi working with Bowser! Why? (That's what the writing say above the Japanese Mario & Luigi RPG 3 logo.) {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}

Someone traducted this: the first "chapter" of the game will be inside Bowser, the Mario bros. will be playable only when Bowser drinks water (when they are inside his body, obviousely), the Bros. Attacks are back, the part in Bowser's body is only in 2D gameplay and they must resolve some things to find the exit (like Yoob in the precedent game, but Bowser's body contains more places).
[[User:Koopalmier|Koopalmier]] 06:18, 14 December 2008 (EST)

Apparently, the attack where Bowser throws the Goombas is ''Bokosuka Goomba'', whatever that means. And that's... really all I got from it. ;>_> {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 00:17, 18 December 2008 (EST)

Well, I was going to translate this, but after doing the headings and a few random lines, I ran into the issue that the scan is too low resolution, and I couldn't read half the Kanji. Joy.  Anyway, while searching for a higher resolution version I found a [http://www.nintendothailand.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2486 Chinese translation] (Which is in a higher resolution, of course.)  No idea whether it's simplified or traditional characters or what, but there it is if you speak Chinese.  I don't suppose anyone here gets Famitsu and has a high resolution scanner? {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 17:31, 19 December 2008 (EST)

It looks like that two things on the sixth icon are the moon and mushroom things on the bar at the bottom. It looks like it may be a super move that can only be used when the two halves meet on that bar. [[User:GaeMFreeK|GaeMFreeK]] 21:06, 21 December 2008 (EST)

==Shroobs==

It is possible that the shroobs could return because of 3 reasons:

1. Elder princess shroob was not destroyed by baby tears, so she could still be barely alive (like dimento in SPM)

2. Some shroobs could still be living on the shroob planet. 
That is all. {{User:Luigifreak/sig}}

3. Junior Shrooboid might have escaped while Prof. E. Gadd was still studying and produced more shroobs{{User:supermariosuperefan/sig}}


Yeah, may be possible that some shroobs could still be living on the Shroob Planet, but with a new King/Queen. Elder Princess Shroob wasn't destroyed by baby tears, '''Mario & Luigi''' destroyed her soul after defeating Shrowser.
{{user:Guy Tim/sig}}

Yeah you are right Guy Tim and Luigifreak their could be a few shroobs living on shroob plant. {{User:3v3v3/sig}}

If some shroobs had survived and now remain in their planet, it's unlikely that they can make a reappearance as the main antagonists of this game again... {{User:Coincollector/sig}} The only possibility is that these characters have a reference in this game; for example, A character that talks about mushroom-like aliens once invaded the kingdom, but reminds hardly...

Hey my theory is that maybe the shroobs left on the shroob planet are under fawful's lead and are now green and white or something. the ufo mentioned above could have a new shroob in it, and the shroobs would all wear swirly glasses.

== It's Fawful ==

[http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/944/944900p1.html IGN] had an article where they stated Famitsu's latest news on the game. They explained some of the battle system controls which I didn't read yet. However, this caught my eye:
<blockquote>This third RPG adventure for gaming's most famous mushroom-eating plumbers kicks off with the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom gathering to discuss what to do about a disease that's spreading throughout the kingdom. Koopa, under the control of an even more villainous villain called Gerakowitz, shows up and sucks everyone into his belly.</blockquote>
I checked Fawful's article and in the Foreign Names section, he was listed as ゲラコビッツ Gerakobittsu. Considering that Japanese doesn't have a "v" sound and uses b instead, this can be written as "Gerakovitz". IGN maybe just misspelled the w, for me that's a confirmation. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 09:10, 15 January 2009 (EST)
:Definitely confirms it. And if the name doesn't, [http://www.gamekult.com/images/ME0001054602/ this artwork] with Fawful does. There are many more new pictures [http://www.gamekult.com/images/J000093168/ here] (I know that Cobold already knows). --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 14:13, 15 January 2009 (EST)
::I only saw the trailer, but not those images. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 16:31, 15 January 2009 (EST)
:That artwork shows 2 new charcters that look like blocks and a Goomba wearing PJ's and other new charcters. Is there any info on them? {{User:Nerdy Guy/sig|Fawful is dresses like some sorta overlord}}

== Beta proof ==
Yes, normaly beta stuff is found after the game is relased, but I found something:

[[Image:TreeThings.png|frame|center|look at this, the article says that new info comferms that Bowser fights by having the player tip the DSi sideways and uses the stylus to atack, but this pic shows Bowser fighting with the DSi normal and no stlyus can be seen.]]

{{User:Nerdy Guy/sig|I could be wrong though...}}

:Interesting. It could be beta elements. It could also simply be the regular fighting mode. After all, there are two different fighting modes for Bowser according to the IGN article. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 11:09, 15 January 2009 (EST)

They're obviously not PLAYING the game when they make things like that, they must have not put the stylus and stuff so that it's easier to see. >_> [[User:Uniju :D|&#123;&#123;User:Uniju :D/sig}}]] 22:02, 15 January 2009 (EST)
:But you wouldn't hold the DS in the style of a book for this screenshot. The IGN article says that you use it sideways in the Bowser-only battles. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 08:00, 16 January 2009 (EST)

I have 3 theories 'bout it:
:1. Yeah, it could be beta elements.
:2. It could be only a screenshot, to make things easier to see.
:3. The player should be able to choice to battle either by the normal way or by the "book way".
{{user:Guy Tim/sig}}

It's not a single screenshot, it was in the original reveal trailer of the game. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 12:20, 16 January 2009 (EST)

Yeah, yeah. Correction: It could be only a ''trailer''...
{{user:Guy Tim/sig}}

Uh, bowser has two battle systems, one like mario and luigi's, and then the one where you hold the ds like a book. That's not a beta screenshot. {{unsigned|Jonah}}

Jonah's spot on. For most battles you fight using the X button. Punch, sucking people up so mario and luigi can fight in gut and stuff. The holding the book on the side thing is for particular battles against larger things (like bowsers castle, for example. These battles consist of using the mic and touchscreen - Raven

The Big Pig is Fawful's Underling who he uses to fight Bowser on 3 occasions
The Paratroopa, Shyguy and Goomba help Bowser on 2 occasions within the game but finally end up locking him in a safe deep within Bowser Castle. (I have recently completed the game so I know this) They are also seen at the end of the game when Bowser is in his bed with a sling on. {{unsigned|DemonFawful}}

Ermm I can't read Japanese, so I don't know that names.... But the dude that's a Cube with the stache.. Bowser first meets him on a little island. After pulling the island towards Bowser using a rope, he gives him the Vacuum ability and does battle with him. Dunno what his name is and if you meet him again cause I'm not that far in to the game... - Raven

They're Kurikkii, Heifaa, and Patabon.  They're underlings of Bowser who desert him later (Fawful's offering a reward.)  At the end of the game they ask to rejoin the Koopa Troop, and Bowser says they can if they help with repairs. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig|}} 09:09, 2 March 2009 (EST)

== Do you spend the entiregame in Bowser's Stomach when using the Mario bros. ==
Please answer this question. {{unsigned|Megazario}}

No, because there are official screen shots shown that the bros are battling monsters outside. {{unsigned|Nsekhon}}

Later on in the game Mario and Luigi can exit Bowser whenever they want via a series of pipes found near bowsers neck. That link them to Bowser's Castle, Peach's Castle, The Woods, Toad Town and the Sewers. So it should be noted that the games aim isnt to Get out of Bowser it is infact to save Peach from Fawful's hands and stop Fawful taking over the Mushroom Kingdom as usual {{unsigned|DemonFawful}}

It involves a set of barrels with red/green arrows on them

be able to exit the body of Bowser through his 'ear'.
They can then reenter Bowser's body at will.

Well it says in PAL regions (which contains europe) they will get it summer 2009 and the U.S. always gets games before PAL so it should be here in spring sometime as to what month or day I am not certain but it very well may be April 1st. --[[User:Count b|Count b]] 14:39, 14 February 2009 (EST)Count b

Going to add this and that there and here because you quite lack content... - MARIOANDLUIGIRPG3VID (Skawo93)

== New Art revealed ==

Hey guys.
In the newest issue of Nintendo Power, on page four, there's art for the "Fat Luigi"
Can someone scan it from the issue (if they have it of course!) and upload it to the internet fir the art section?
I took a low quality picture with my phone:

But having a higher quality one would be nice

...
Did you seen the website, at least ? The arwtork is already there, ready to be ripped and in better quality.

==Release Date==
Ok I have just read over the whole April 1st thing and find it highly unlikely that Nintendo set the date at April 1st and also I would not consult NewGrounds I would wait for Nintendo to say so officialy...and also this April 1st thing has to be a joke because April first not only is April Fools Day but it is also a Sunday and most businesses do not run on Sundays. --[[User:Count b|Count b]] 21:15, 15 February 2009 (EST)Count b



That's impossible, April 1st is clearly Wednesday, I checked in my calendar that my mom gave me from Dunkin' Donuts, and I have piano lessons every Wed., and yes, I also labeled it on there. {{user:supermariosuperfan/sig}}

I heard it was coming out on April 4. But that is weird, if it comes out in April first, because it's on a Wednesday. And Mario & Luigi RPG 3 was released on a Wednesday in Japan. {{User:Grapes/sig}}

Yes you are correct sorry my mistake I will fix it back to April 1st but nothing is decided until Nintendo gives the final date. --[[User:Count b|Count b]] 17:25, 16 February 2009 (EST)Count b

Keep as "TBA",because Nintendo didn't give out an official date.We can't just guess the date. {{User:Dark Lakitu 789/sig}}

==Enemy Clarafication==
There is a Goomba listed on the enemy list that is pink with something yellow inside of it. I've seen a video with the said Goomba, and actually, it's transparent. It's color keeps changing depending on the background, but it is most certainly clear.[[User:MDupont|MDupont]] 23:06, 15 February 2009 (EST)

==Seriously!==
Ok i'm not trying to be rude but i'm tired of the constant changing of the American realese date (I'm at fault in that case aswell) but unless it is from Nintendo directly i'm changing back to TBA. --[[User:Count b|Count b]] 19:05, 21 February 2009 (EST)Count b

== Metaboss more than a pig? ==

From what I see, Metaboss has a armadillo like back and can also curl up into a ball. So I think he is also part armadillo. Also his horns on his head are bull like. Metaboss is more than just a pig I think, but that is just my guess. --[[User:Luigi-Tron 3000|Luigi-Tron 3000]] 06:28, 23 February 2009 (EST)Luigi-Tron 3000

==[[Toadbert]]...==
The character we've been calling Toadbert... he introduces himself like this: 「ボク　キノックルです！」 So his name's "Kinokkuru"... Is this Toadbert's Japanese name?  If so, this pretty much confirms that that's who he is (Although I might be the only person who doubted that to start...) Incidentally, Wikipedia says that the names of the goomba, shy guy, and paratroopa, are Kurikkī, Heifā, and Patabon. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig|}} 00:51, 24 February 2009 (EST)
:Toadbert is infact in the game, he appears in the beginning, along with other Toads, and an unidentified female Toad. I can get a screenshot of him if you wan't. But yea, I'm pretty positive that's his japanese name if he introduces himself like that. {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}
::Oh, I know all that, I just meant I wasn't sure if it was really him.  I'm fairly sure the female toad you're talking about is [[Doctor Kokino]], a physician who's working to cure the Metakoro Disease... Which is spread through poisoned food. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig|}} 01:44, 24 February 2009 (EST)
:::Ok. And well I don't know, I can't understand Japanese :P. {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}

==Sprites, Already?!==

The people at the Spriters-Resource have somehow ripped alot of sprites out of the game already. This is very important and full of spoilers, since it shows many of the enemies. From looking at this, I can tell that many of the enimies are "Fawful-lized" versions of already existing Mario Series enimies. 

Here's the [http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/marioandluigi3/index.html link].

{{User:Nerdy Guy/sig|My favorite is the Fawful Shy Guy}}
:It's cause they got the rom. We can use alot of these, withp crediting them of course, but are all the names official? {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}

:Curiously, some emulators are capable of traslating a game from a determinate language into another. A good example can be No$GBA or iDeaS. I play USA games roms, but the emulator changes the language of the whole game to spanish... {{User:Coincollector/sig}}
::Until an English language version of the title is released, the Japanese names are still the official names we'll be using.  For example, ''[[The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach]]'' was never translated from Japanese officially, so the names we use for the subjects of the film are the Japanese names.  Additionally, NoA and NoE have often neglected to directly translate names and make attempts to add puns and such, particularly in the ''Mario and Luigi'' series.  For that reason, the names they have there may be different from the names that end up being used in our NTSC and PAL region games. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 23:20, 24 February 2009 (EST)

Almost none of those are official, leave em out
{{User:YourBuddyBill/sig|I was logged on aall night cause i forgot to log off...|Fawful}}

==The Sixth Option==
[[Image:MandL3BattleOption6.png|thumb|right]]
Can someone translate it please? It would really help out alot. This is the mysterious sixth option from the battle menu, but I dunno what it does. All i know is that you can turn the wheel with L & R, but diffrent things pop up each time. {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}

:The name of the option is "badge replace," and it basically allows you to change Bros. Badges in the middle of a battle.  However, it empties the meter in the process...  The image you took is just a description of the current badge combo.  Basically, it says you need to get an "excellent" rating on a move to charge the meter, and that once the meter is fully charged, you can recover 50% of each brother's total SP.  The red side of the badge controls the effects, while the green side controls their degree, as well as how good you have to be to charge the meter. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig|}} 00:56, 26 February 2009 (EST)

:Hey, could you get a picture of the green badge just above the one that's currently equipped in the picture? {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig|}} 01:18, 26 February 2009 (EST)
::No problem at all. Ill get it ASAP. {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}
:::Here: [[Image:MandL3BattleOption6Badge2.png|thumb|left]] {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}

::::Hmm.  That says "(Your attacks) Continue to be judged 'excellent.' Effect: All SP is recovered." (I think, it's a hard translation for me.) So maybe getting a score lower than excellent drains the meter? I dunno. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig|}} 02:09, 26 February 2009 (EST)

::::Hey, where do you get that badge, do you remember? {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig|}} 02:25, 26 February 2009 (EST)

:::::This badge will indeed drain the meter if you get lower than EXCELLENT (It only drains the side of Bro that made that action command, however). Luigi gets it when he passes level 40, becaming Rainbow-ranked (which by the way is a secret rank). What this badge does? Well, it will (depending on which badge Mario has): Restore all HP (with the Mushroom badge on Mario), Restore all SP (Shell badge on Mario), Raise the POW 4x (POW badge on Mario), Raise the EXP you get from this battle 2x and coins 1.5x (Coin Badge on Mario) -MARIOANDLUIGIRPG3VID (Skawo93)

::::::'''2257''': Nope. I took a week to try and kinda "hack" the game, and then some other stuff. '''Skawo93''': Hm, interesting. This is valuable information, in furture articles, we can use this. Thanks. {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}

==The North American Title==

I am very confused. Wikipedia stated that the name of Mario and Luigi RPG 3 is, Mario & Luigi & Bowser. Other sites say its Mario & Luigi: Fawful's Revenge. Is one of them the official name of the game? {{unsigned|Nsekhon}}

Please sign your name. And um its best to wait untill the game is released. So far the titled you stated maybe be fanon made up by people. {{User:Grapes/sig}}
:Those names came from a comment on Youtube. Someone was guessing what the North American title will be. It's the same deal with that one beach in the game being called "Cavity Coast", it's fake. {{User:ToadetteAnime4evur/sig}}
