Mario & Luigi (series)
The Mario & Luigi Series consists of two handheld RPG games where Mario and Luigi team up to defeat evil. In both games, the story is about Princess Peach getting in trouble. the Mario & Luigi series seems to have replaced the Super Mario Bros. Series. There is currently two games in the series. The first one is Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, released 2003 for the Gameboy Advance. The game involved Peach's voice being stolen by Cackletta and Fawful. Unlike previous Mario games, this game revolved around the neighboring Kingdom, the Beanbean Kingdom. It was also Mario and Luigi's first adventure since Super Mario World twelve years before.
A sequel to Superstar Saga was made for the Nintendo DS in 2005, called Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. This game revolved around the Mushroom Kingdom, like most Mario games before this. However, it was the Mushroom Kingdom of the past. This game featured an evil alien race, known as Shroobs attacking the Mushroom Kingdom of the past, capturing the Castle, and forcing Baby Bowser, Baby Peach, and the Baby Mario Bros. to flee. At the same time, Peach went back in time using E. Gadd's Time Machine, and got caught by Princess Shroob. Eventually, Mario & Luigi end up going back in time, due to the Time Holes the Time Machine created. There, they meet their baby selves, and the four team up to stop the Shroobs, and rescue Peach. The Mario and Luigi series is, so far, entirely on handheld consoles.
The Mario & Luigi artwork appeared as stickers in Super Smash Bros Brawl. The stickers are of Cackletta, Luigi with Baby Luigi, Luigi, Mario with Luigi, Prince Peasley, a Shroob, Stuffwell, and Toadsworth. The absence of Fawful was surprising, considering his prominence in the series. However, one of the random names in Brawl is FWFUL, obviously referencing Fawful.
