Mario & Luigi : Superstar Saga

Game Overview
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga came out on the Game Boy Advance in 2003, developed by AlphaDream and published by Nintendo. It was part of that great era where handheld RPGs were getting really inventive, moving beyond the standard turn-based fights into something more interactive and full of personality.You control both Mario and Luigi at the same time, using the A and B buttons for each brother's actions as you explore the Beanbean Kingdom screen by screen. The main goal is to retrieve Princess Peach's stolen voice, which involves navigating through different environments, solving environmental puzzles, and engaging in battles where timing your button presses is key to dodging attacks and landing your own jumps and hammer strikes. The pacing is brisk, with a steady stream of new abilities and enemy types that keep the combat from getting stale, and the difficulty feels fair, with most challenges coming from learning attack patterns rather than grinding levels. It feels clever and responsive, like the game is constantly rewarding you for paying attention.
