Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga is an exciting role-playing game for the Game Boy Advance. It was released in 2003. This game is special because it's the first time Mario and Luigi team up for a big adventure! They work together to solve puzzles and fight enemies. It's part of the popular Mario & Luigi game series.

You can also play this game on the Wii U through the Virtual Console. This lets you enjoy the classic adventure on a newer system.

Story of the Adventure

The game starts with a strange visitor from the Beanbean Kingdom. This visitor is actually the evil witch Cackletta! She steals Princess Peach's voice. Cackletta is helped by her funny-sounding assistant, Fawful.

When Bowser hears about this, he decides to help Mario and Luigi. He flies them to the Beanbean Kingdom in his Koopa Cruiser. But the cruiser explodes! Mario, Luigi, and Bowser land in a place called Stardust Field. This is where their amazing journey truly begins. They must stop Cackletta and get Peach's voice back!

How to Play

Teamwork and Battles

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, you control both Mario and Luigi at the same time. You'll explore different areas, solve puzzles, and meet many characters.

When you get into a battle, it's a bit like a turn-based game. You choose attacks for Mario and Luigi. But there's a cool twist! You can press buttons at the right time to make your attacks stronger. You can also dodge enemy attacks. This makes battles very active and fun.

Special Moves

As you play, Mario and Luigi learn special moves called "Bros. Attacks." These attacks use both brothers working together. For example, Mario might jump on Luigi's head to reach higher places. Or they might combine their powers for a super strong attack in battle. These moves are key to beating tough enemies and exploring new areas.

Characters You'll Meet

  • Mario: The brave hero, always ready for action.
  • Luigi: Mario's taller, sometimes scared, but always loyal brother.
  • Princess Peach: The princess whose voice is stolen.
  • Bowser: Mario's usual enemy, but he helps out in this game!
  • Cackletta: The main villain, a powerful witch from the Beanbean Kingdom.
  • Fawful: Cackletta's strange and funny-speaking assistant.
