| |
| The ''Mario & Luigi'' series features both brothers responding to a specific input, Mario being controlled with "A" and Luigi "B". Like ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Super Mario RPG]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'', the ''Mario & Luigi'' series features a turn-based battle system. Enemies are encountered on the overworld, and the player can interact the enemy and enter into a battle scene. In battle, Mario and Luigi can attack either by using one of their basic attacks (jumping or with a hammer) or by using a special [[Bros. Attack]] ([[Special Attack]] in the third game). In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', the Bros. attack consumes Bros. Points (BP) (in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' they are [[Special Point]]s, and in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' the Bros. Attacks. are instead [[Bros. Items|items]]). The ''Mario & Luigi'' series battle system also comes with the ability to avoid attacks by jumping or counterattacking by using the hammer, depending on the attack. Enemies often signal which brother they are going to attack.
| |
|
| |
| On the overworld, the player can jump using the brothers' respective buttons, and can hammer by pressing another button to switch to the hammer commands. In all four ''Mario & Luigi'' games, the brothers can also receive various new abilities to enter otherwise inaccessible spots. For instance, the Mario Bros. can use the High Jump ability to reach higher areas. The overworlds commonly feature various obstacles and platforming challenges that require the player to make use of various techniques to pass them.
| |
|
| |
| ===Stats===
| |
| As in most role-playing games, each character has a different stat. When characters level up by earning enough experience points (or alternatively use special items made from beans in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''), their stats elevate. Players can decide which stat to add a bonus via roulette, but they should be aware that the numbers that boost the star will eventually decrease if consistently chosen.
| |
|
| |
| Stats are also temporarily increased or decreased when peppers are consumed or from enemy attacks.

| |
| |HP
| |
| |HP, or Health Points, is how much health the Mario Bros. the Baby Mario Bros., and Bowser have. If HP drops to zero, the brother faints. The fainted brother must be carried if the enemy attacks where he is, making it a slight liability with the battling brother. If all brothers or Bowser have no HP, then it is a [[Game Over|game over]].
| |
| |-
| |
| |SP
| |
| |SP, or Special Points, is a stat found only in [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]. They are used when Mario, Luigi, or Bowser uses a Special Attack. They are very similar to Bros. Points.
| |
| |-
| |
| |BP
| |
| |BP, or Bros. Points, allows Mario and Luigi to use Bros. Attacks in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. If Bros. Points are depleted or inadequate, Mario and Luigi cannot use certain Bros. Attacks.
| |
| |-
| |
| |POW
| |
| |This stat indicates the Mario Bros., the Baby Mario Bros., and Bowser's offensive abilities. The higher the stat, the more damage they deal.
| |
| |-
| |
| |DEF
| |
| |This stat indicates the Mario Bros., the Baby Mario Bros., and Bowser's defensive abilities. The higher the stat, the less damage they receive.
| |
| |-
| |
| |SPEED
| |
| |A linear stat, Speed indicates how fast the characters are. Characters with the higher speed move first in battle.
| |
| |-
| |
| |STACHE
| |
| /HORN
| |
| |Stache, (or Horn for Bowser) is a unique stat. The higher the Mario Bros. have this stat, the more likely they can deal lucky hits, which deal double the damage. Also, the higher the stat, the bigger discount and bonuses the Mario Bros. can get at stores. In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', a higher Stache or Horn stat means a higher chance for winning in [[Scratch Card]].
| |
| |}
| |
|
| |
| ===Items===
| |
| The series features many items. Items can be obtained if the characters hit blocks, win battles, win minigames, and others. Mario and Luigi can buy items at various shops with coins they earned in battles and blocks. Clothes and badges are earned usually as a prize while key items are needed to advance the storyline or complete a sidequest.

| ====Beans====
| |
| {{MoreImages}}
| |
| [[Bean]]s are consumable items found in all ''Mario & Luigi'' games, but in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', special beans are found, and they can be blended in the [[Starbeans Café]]. The drinks made from a blend of these beans can increase stats. In ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', beans are used to buy badges. In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', and in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', beans are used to increase stats.

| ===Badges===
| |
| {{Main|Badge#Mario & Luigi series badges}}
| |
| Badges can be equipped on the playable characters to give them extra effects or more power in battle. Badges are bought in shops, earned as prizes, or found in defeated enemies. Characters can equip only one badge at a time. In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', only the Mario Bros. can equip badges. The badges are part of a gauge that fills when an action command is executed well. When the gauge is filled, the Mario Bros. can use various actions including healing themselves.
| |
|
| |
| ===Clothing===
| |
| {{main|Clothing}}
| |
| The main protagonists can also equip clothing to increase stats, such as DEF, HP, and SPD. Clothes can be bought at shops, earned as prizes, or found in defeated enemies. Some clothes are exclusive to Mario while only Luigi can wear others; some clothes are compatible with both. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', clothes can provide extra effects. In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', clothes received additional types including overalls, gloves, socks, boots, and accessories for Mario and Luigi, and shells, arm bands, rings, and fangs for Bowser. Characters can equip more clothing if their rank go up (the maximum is three), but they can equip only one of each type.

| |
| |Mario, with [[Luigi|his brother]], as the series name suggests, is the star of the series. When there is trouble, Mario attempts to solve the problem as quickly as he can, dragging Luigi alongside him. In this series, Mario is a very famous and popular hero, being well-known in various lands. As in the majority of ''Mario'' games, Mario is a silent protagonist, but he communicates by body movements and speaking in Italian-sounding gibberish.

| |
| |Luigi is Mario's younger, lesser-known brother. He often gets dragged into adventures beyond his will. Luigi is more cowardly and more hesitant than Mario, but he is willing to help solve any trouble that has arisen. Luigi's clumsy antics are usually comic relief, but it can be sometimes dangerous, including when he left Baby Luigi alone to [[Petey Piranha]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''. Luigi does not speak either in this game, communicating similarly to Mario; only in ''Dream Team'' do Luigi's thoughts take the form of words, and this happens only in [[Dream's Deep]] and whenever he becomes a giant.

Baby Luigi has shown to be key to destroying the Shroobs in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' when he reverted characters to normal with his tears. He is also shown to know that an object has bad vibes, such as crying at the [[Cobalt Star]] because it contains the Elder Princess Shroob inside it.

| |
| |Bowser has appeared in various roles in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. Unlike in most ''Mario'' games, Bowser aided Mario and Luigi in reaching the Beanbean Kingdom in ''Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga'', but after the crash landing, Bowser unintentionally became a rival, being used first by Popple as a minion and then by Cackletta as a body to posess. In ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Bowser is mainly an antagonist, teaming up with Baby Bowser to fight Mario and causing trouble by kidnapping 'Princess Peach' (later revealed to be a disguised Princess Shroob). He is manipulated once again when he is turned into Shrowser by the [[Elder Princess Shroob]]. Bowser is the primary protagonist in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', with Mario and Luigi adventuring inside him after he inhales the Vacuum Mushroom. ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'' sees Bowser himself pose a serious threat as the main antagonist, making an alliance with Antasma to rule the world by using the Dream Stone, but was secretly just using Antasma and later betrays him to keep the Dream Stone's power for himself.

| |Cackletta is the primary antagonist in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. She and Fawful had stolen Princess Peach's voice. She has also caused trouble in Beanbean Kingdom by transforming [[Queen Bean]] into a giant beast and stealing the [[Beanstar]]. After Mario and Luigi defeated her, Fawful took her soul and placed it into Bowser's body, transforming Bowser into [[Bowletta]].

| |Fawful is Cackletta's servant. He speaks in Engrish and uses many food-related metaphors. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', he steals Princess Peach's voice and helps transfer Cackletta into Bowser. In ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Fawful plays more of a supporting role. He runs an underground badge shop the Baby Mario Bros. can access. Fawful plays as the main antagonist in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''. He has usurped Bowser's Castle while creating an outbreak of [[Blorbs]]. He has also given Bowser the Vacuum Mushroom to aid him in his plot to rule Mushroom Kingdom.

| |The Shroobs are an alien race that has invaded Mushroom Kingdom in the past. They have trapped Toads and extracted their vim to power their technology. They can shoot bolts transforming characters into Shroob Mushrooms. The Shroobs speak a foreign language that Mario and Luigi understand only later in the game. One of the Shroobs major weakness is baby tears.

| |Princess Shroob commands the Shroob fleet during most of ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', and is thus the game's main antagonist. When Princess Peach has traveled to the past, Princess Shroob manages to capture her, but not without Peach trapping the Elder Princess Shroob - the ''real'' leader of the shoobs - in the [[Cobalt Star]]. It is only after Princess Shroob is mortally wounded in battle that this is revealed, however.

[[Mario]] must enter [[Luigi]]'s dreams in order to rescue Antasma's victims, which by the time Mario starts to enter Luigi's dreams include [[Princess Peach]], whom Antasma abducts early in the game. He also teams up with Bowser, and the two villains later set their sights on the [[Dream Stone]], which holds the power to grant any wish. Bowser later reveals that he is merely using Antasma to advance his own schemes.

| |
| [[File:Super Mario Kun 35.jpg|thumb|170px]]
| |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| |
| Artwork from the ''Mario & Luigi'' series appeared as stickers in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'': Cackletta, Luigi with [[Baby Luigi]], Luigi, Mario with Luigi, [[Prince Peasley]], a Shroob, [[Stuffwell]], and [[Toadsworth]]. Additionally, one of the random names in ''Brawl'' when naming something (for example, naming a friend code) is FWFUL, obviously referencing Fawful. Additionally, [[Gritzy Desert]]'s music from ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' is selectable as the [[Mushroomy Kingdom]]'s stage music.
| |
|
| |
| A remix of the music ''Try, Try Again'' appears in the [[Paper_Mario_(stage)|Paper Mario stage]] in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]. Like the original track, it was composed by [[Yoko Shimomura]].
| |
|
| |
| ===''Super Mario-Kun''===
| |
| ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' has devoted a few volumes to the series. The art style on the covers even reflect the Mario & Luigi art style (especially seen in the color of Mario and Luigi's insignias). Although the storylines are similar to the story in game, there are multiple variations and twists. General examples include Mario and Luigi being able to speak fully, and Baby Mario and Baby Luigi are capable of talking as well. More specifically, [[Yoob]], for example, is actually a friendly giant Yoshi that [[Sunnycide]] manipulates while [[Tanoomba]] can transform into clones of Mario and company to cause mischief. ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', however, does not have entire volumes devoted to its story.

| ==Similarities between games==
| |
| *All of the games are mainly set somewhere other than the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] of the present ([[Beanbean Kingdom]] in ''Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga'', the Mushroom Kingdom of the past in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time'', [[Bowser's body]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and [[Pi'illo Island]] and [[Dream World]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'').
| |
| *All four games have their own version of common enemies (''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' have bean-related enemies, ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' have Shroobified enemies, ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' have Fawful-themed, organ-themed and [[Dark Star]]-themed enemies, and ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'' have Antasma-themed and dream-themed enemies.
| |
| *The first three games all feature Bowser as the first boss, so that the player can learn about the basic battle gameplay. During the initial fights, Mario learns the action commands while Luigi is occupied with something else (watching in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', playing in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', sleeping in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', and dreaming about the fight in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'').
| |
| *In all four games, an altered form of Bowser is the final boss ([[Bowletta]], [[Shrowser]], [[Dark Bowser]], and [[Dreamy Bowser]]).
| |
| *All four games' storylines are about collecting the pieces of a Star or another magic item (the [[Beanstar]] in ''Superstar Saga'', the [[Cobalt Star]] in ''Partners in Time'', the [[Star Cure]]/[[Miracle Cure]] in ''Bowser's Inside Story'' and the [[Ultibed]] in ''Dream Team'').
| |
| *All games have the bosses exploding, and the enemies disappearing or a small explosion.
| |
| *Fawful appears as a recurring character in the first three games (As Cackletta's assistant in ''Superstar Saga'', as a badge dealer under Princess Peach's Castle in ''Partners in Time'', and as the main antagonist in ''Bowser's Inside Story'').
| |
| *The first three games have Mario and Luigi saying "Let's-a-go!" and "Okey-dokey!" respectively when transitioning into a battle.
| |
| *In games after ''Superstar Saga'' Mario and Luigi have a partner that store their items, give tutorials, and also speak in Mario and Luigi's stead.
| |
| *In all four games, three versions of Bowser must be battled. (Bowser, Rookie and Bowletta in ''Superstar Saga'', Bowser, Baby Bowser and Shrowser in ''Partners in Time'', Bowser, Bowser X and Dark Bowser in ''Bowser's Inside Story'', Bowser powered up by Antasma, Giant Bowser and Dreamy Bowser in ''Dream Team'')
