I wouldn't say it's too easy. As a matter of fact, it seems to me that the action command timing was made just a tad harder than in the previous two games. It could just be my imagination playing tricks on me though.

I think it's the Star Candies, Retry Clocks, and Beans that killed any challenge.

I think this is true, at least for the Jump attack. In the previous two games, you could be anywhere from halfway through the jump to right on the enemy's head when you press the button and still get the action command, but in this one, you really have to get the timing right just before you land on the enemy to get that second attack.

I haven't beaten this game yet, but it's really good so far.

Yeah, I think I'm about 4/6 done with the game, and it is really good!

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story get. While not as good as the original, it's a definitive improvement over its predecessor in just about every thinkable aspect.

I disagree with at least one aspect: Music

So far, I think that one particular song is played too often, especially when you're playing the Bros. inside Bowser's body, where the same song will play until you move Bowser to another area. I also find the music less varied. In Partners In Time and Superstar Saga, about every area had a unique song, while this game plays the same song for many different areas, including The Tower of Yikk and the Path to Bowser's Castle.

Yes, I found the soundtrack lacking as well compared to its predecessors, but there's still a few catchy tunes.

Also, what's inside the Preservation Room = WIN

Alrighty. My birthday was yesterday, so I finally got my hands on this.

Though actually, I've only put in an hour so far, as I'm playing with my other presents too. :P

Since Tuesday I've logged nearly thirty hours into it. That being said, I'm hopelessly stuck against Blizzard Midbus due to my inability to inhale his HP-restoring cronies fast enough. Apparently, Nintendo expects you to be able to mash that X button faster than a sewing machine on steroids.

I just beat the final boss and I must say, my biggest issues with PiT were addressed in this game (the lack of side quests and fun mini-games). I think I still might favor Superstar Saga because I think it was funnier and more challenging (though I must wonder if the games are getting easier or if I'm just getting better). Oh, and by the way...is Fawful now dead?! Sniff...I have sadness.

Yes, it never occured to me how that would affect you, of all people... well, you know, it's not really like it was official that he died--he just blew up. There's been a lot of other evil-doers that just turn into some etheral substance and come back later.

In case you folks weren't aware, completing Challenge mode or whatever it's called unlocks the game's greatest challenge: Click for semi-spoilers.

You fight Bowser inside Bowser?!?

My mind is boggled...o_O

Kimimaru · « **Reply #25 on:** October 13, 2009, 05:15:56 PM »

No. You actually fight Bowser X, who is inside Bowser.

Weegee · « **Reply #26 on:** October 13, 2009, 06:08:38 PM »

Oddly enough, the Prima guidebook gives no mention of Bowser X's very existence, let alone strategies for reaching and beating him. This is either the result of laziness on the editors' part or an instance of Prima opting to omit parts of the game in their guide for suspense's sake, thus eliminating the entire point of writing the guidebook.

LoL I reached twice to "him" but fist time I runned out of time yesterday I reached to him again and he beated me with his Goombas, I will train the Bros. now to Lv. 60.

I have a question! I haven't played the game yet, but was wondering if Midbus (is that spelled right?) is some sort of midboss, as it's name seems to imply? You don't have to go into great detail, just a simple yes or no will do.

Reading · « **Reply #29 on:** November 03, 2009, 04:57:59 PM »

I guess you could say that. It depends on your definition of "midboss", though.
