In a funny little twist, the very first game of the Mario & Luigi series was the final game for me (excluding the remakes) that I had yet to play, so finding out Superstar Saga is available on the Switch was definitely a highlight of January for me :) It's such a charming little game and I'm so glad I held off watching a playthrough so I got to experience it first hand.

The pacing felt weird at times and the story line was a little all over the place? Finding out Thunderhand and Firebrand, which seem so integral to fanon interpretations of the bros, were gained by complete happenstance rather than any real necessity story-wise was very strange and the Bro Moves weren't very intuitive despite being where a majority of your damage comes from- at least in my experience.

That being said, I loved this game a lot :) I loved how much character they gave the bros and Peasley is easily a favorite.
