Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

Similarities Between the Games

  • The Mario bros. have been inside someone's body in the three games (Bowletta's belly in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Yoob's belly in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Bowser's and a giant Sockop's body in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story).
  • The three games have their own version of the Mushroom Kingdom enemies (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga have bean-related enemies, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time have Shroobified enemies and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story have Fawful-themed, organ-themed and Dark Star-themed enemies).
  • All three games have similarities between the boss fights, starting with the fact that Bowser is always the first boss.
    • During the initial Bowser fights, Mario learns the action command while Luigi is occupied with something else (watching in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, playing in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and sleeping in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story).
    • In all three games, Bowser or a similar being must be battled (Bowser, Rookie and Bowletta in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Baby Bowser, Bowser and Shrowser in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Bowser, Bowser X and Dark Bowser in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story).
    • All three games have at least one boss that only gives the player a limited number of turns to defeat before Game Over. The bosses are: Roy Koopa, Wendy O. Koopa, and Larry Koopa in Superstar Saga, three Shroobs in Hollijolli Village, and Elder Shrooboid in his larger form in Partners in Time, and Fawful Express and X bosses in Bowser's Inside Story (though the X Bosses do not give a Game Over, rather they are just pulled away from the battle).
    • In all three games, there is at least one Wiggler boss.
    • In all three games, an effected form of Bowser is the final Boss (Bowletta, Shrowser, and Dark Bowser).
    • On that note, two of the final bosses (Cackletta in Superstar Saga and Fawful in Bowser's Inside Story) are fought inside Bowser.
  • The first two games have one character that is stuck and needs help, but as soon as they are rescued, something bad would happen and are not seen for the remainder of the game. In Superstar Saga, Bloat is stuck in a gap, and after he is rescued, the S.S. Chuckola starts to move out to the Oho Ocean, and sinks. In Partners in Time, the Hollijolli Mayor is stuck in a chimney, and after he is rescued, Shroob UFOs come and kidnap him.
  • All three games' storyline is about collecting the pieces of a Star or another magic item (the Beanstar in Superstar Saga, the Cobalt Star in Partners in Time and the Miracle Cure in Bowser's Inside Story).
  • The Final Bosses of all three games are defeated by eliminating parts of the bosses' body to conceal a weak point: Cackletta's arms, legs, and head must be destroyed to make attacking her heart possible, the Elder Princess Shroob's tentacles must be destroyed to conceal her crown, which after being de-activated will drop the boss's defense, and finally, the Dark Fawful Bug needs it's arms, legs and glasses to be destroyed so the player can attack the Dark Star Core.
  • All three Mario & Luigi games have an elite version of an enemy. In Superstar Saga, there is an elite version of the Troopea called the Elite Troopea, in Partners in Time, there is an elite version of a Boom Guy called the Elite Boom Guy, in Bowser's Inside Story, there was an elite version of the Goombule called the Elite Goombule
  • All games have the bosses exploding, and the enemies disappearing or a small explosion.
  • Each game in the series start somewhere in Princess Peach's Castle.
  • Each game's last area to explore is in a castle.
  • The main antagonist takes over Peach's and/or Bowser's Castle in the game. In Superstar Saga, Bowletta takes over Bowser's Castle. In Partners in Time, Princess Shroob takes over Peach's Castle of the past. In Bowser's Inside Story, Fawful takes over both castles.
  • All three has at least one new character with at least a different speech patterns or language. Superstar Saga has Fawful's odd metaphors, Partners in Time with Shroob language and Midbus of Bowser's Inside Story with his broken, poor English.
  • All three games have a move where the player can spin or drill into the ground.
  • All 3 games have their host system appear in the game somewhere (a purple then a yellow Game Boy Advance is used as a message device by Bowletta in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the DS Radar - actually a grey Nintendo DS - is used by E. Gadd in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, and Dark Fawful uses a red Nintendo DSi to pursue the Dark Star in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story).

Trivia

  • In this series, Mario's "M" and Luigi's "L" are black, unlike their other appearances. The same goes for their eyes. Also, Luigi seems redesigned.
  • In each game, Luigi's overalls are darker than the last.
