YESSSS.  I must get it eventually...
If she is indeed genetically mutated such that she has an eye in the back of her head, then I guess that she is genetically mutated and has an eye in the back of her head.

Got it last night after finishing my homework!  So far, I'd say it ranks along side SS
I have happy!  Hopefully it's longer than PiT

My birthday is actually today, but I'm going to get it on Friday. I'll have more time to play it then and it'll feel more special. ;)
We went to see them for the first time in 5 years because they were going away for 3 years.

So far, so good. It's a good thing there's so many cool new battle mechanics, though, because the rest is fairly been-there-done-that.

There are items that are and/or function like Bros. Items did, but they're now called "Special Attacks", run off of a second-tier MP-like system, and don't have to be used to beat even the smallest of battles.

This is great! Ranks alongside SS!

Why didn't Bowser recognize Fawful???

I haven't played the game yet, but..I believe Bowser and Fawful had minimal contact in the first M&L game. someone correct me..
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

I got this game today and I'm hooked. I played 4 hours straight, ate dinner, and then played 2 more hours straight before finally stopping.
The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

Nintendoobsessed/Toad: Well, Bowser was unconscious or amnesiac for most of Superstar Saga.

Beat the game on Friday. I'd say... it was better than PiT, but still not as good as the original. My only major beef was that the Mushroom Kingdom was composed of pretty generic areas with weirdly generic names. Of course, this was probably to place focus on the areas inside Bowser, but as some of us established a while back, that wasn't exactly incredibly original either.

And was it too easy? Yes, but it's a DS game--that's a given.

Ketsui Death Label and many, many other DS games would like a word with you regarding that last statement.

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.

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.
