it was actually really decent looking at it for what it is, backtracking was a bit annoying along with the story not being the best but it was a fun run through for myself
so disappointing
This must be a Paper Mario game more than a Mario & Luigi game...Because it do be kinda mid.
It's a great idea, and having a third party member that grants Mario and Luigi crazy paper attacks is cool...But it's just more of the same...
I feel like up until Dream Team, each one of these games were trying different things, each idea better than the last, just to mix things up. But Dream Team was kinda just Bowser's Inside Story again but with Luigi instead of Bowser and not nearly as interesting.
Because of that, this one just feels like another Mario & Luigi game...Except Paper Mario is a party member now. The enemies are generic Mario enemies, same with the toads, locations, the story is as basic as it can get with Mario. It's almost like I'm playing one of the platformers.
They do try to mix things up with the giant paper character fights...I guess? But like...That's just the giant fights from BiS and DT but way worse and not even fun.
It just feels like modern Paper Mario levels of random bullshit they add that isn't even fun. Just because they want to make the game anything but a good traditional RPG.
It's not terrible, it's not even bad, it's just serviceable. There were parts I enjoyed about it...But I probably will never play it again, which is a shame considering this was the last original Mario & Luigi game we ever got.

obligatory “this crossover would’ve been peak 15 years ago” comment
ok now thats out of the way i think this game gets alooooot more hate than it should get, some of it justified and some of it isnt. yes the story could’ve been this 50 hour long epic where the bowsers becomes a super ultra god and talks about the idea of death or whatever but i think the one we had isnt that bad either. it basically does the “bowser kidnaps peach” thing but also gives up near the end and just becomes a story about getting a book back.
the gameplay is actually very fun, probably the best in the series, i think battle cards are far more interesting than badges because they’re instant and you dont have to spend 20 turns getting one you can waste in one attack. the bros attacks are either really broken or kinda pointless.
papercraft battles while not as cool as the giant battles from BiS or Dream Team are still fun on their own. none of the fights are actively frustrating as far as i remember.
overall i think this game was a great finale to the original mario and luigis and was a great sendoff to a great series.

Sympa mais franchement c'est le Mario & Luigi le moins marquant, sans hésiter
how is the story of a mario RPG crossover this boring
