Oh hell yeah, talk about a sick sequel! This is the Mario and Luigi game I actually had as a kid, and I was addicted to this one back in the day. Despite that, going back to it today every now and then, there's more than just nostalgia that brings me back to it.
This is hands down the most mechanically distinct Mario and Luigi game, and while some of its ideas aren't everyone's cup of tea, (consumable special attacks, badge effects, a 4 person party that can be split into 2 groups of 2...), I enjoy how unique this game is when compared to the others in the series. The game's pacing is also insane, it's always hitting you with new and interesting content. It's a far shorter game than the other Mario and Luigi games, but I'll take a bite-sized adventure that packs a lot of punch over a bloated one ripe with filler any day of the week.
Also, not like this has much impact on the quality of the game, but wow is the box art for PiT amazing. It's way better than the boring white background box art template its sequel would usher in.
