# Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

## Brief

> The famous Mario Brothers return in this sequel to the humorous Superstar
> Saga. In this adventure, Princess Peach takes a trip in a time machine, but
> when it returns, there's only a monster inside! The heroic brothers travel
> back in time only to discover that evil alien life forms known as the Shroobs
> have taken over the Mushroom Kingdom, and no-one is safe! They soon meet up
> with their younger selves, and set out to stop the alien menace, not to
> mention rescue the Princess!

## Thoughts

- This game is so much fun, even as an adult.
- After 14-15 hours the game loop start to be a little repetitive, but not boring.
- It can be seen that the developers start to expand the formula that worked on
Super Star Saga, but there is still room for improvement. Now I understand why
Bowser's inside history is better and more loved.
- I found interesting that this game really respect the intelligence of the
player, morover beign a "child game". It doesn't do some sutff to give half
munch answers or hints that moder games does, it let's you try stuff to figure
out how to resolve the puzzle yourself.
