Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga is the first title of the Mario & Luigi RPG series for Nintendo's portable consoles. It is before Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The gameplay is extremley similar to AlphaDream's first title, Tomato Adventure.

The game is also comparable in gameplay to Super Mario RPG.

EXAMPLES:

• Game over only occurring when all combatants have died, rather than in the Paper Mario series where it occurs when Mario dies regardless of partner status.
• The limit of one badge per character.
• The use of isometrics while still resembling Super Mario World graphically.

All this would carry over to the sequel.

[edit] Plot

An evil witch named Cackletta has stolen Princess Peach's voice, replacing her fair speech with explosives! As chaos breaks out in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and Luigi (who was accidentally dragged by Mario) head for the castle and meet up with Bowser, who just arrived to kidnap the princess. When they find out what happened, these sworn enemies join forces and follow the witch to a neighboring kingdom (once again, Luigi is an unwilling passenger, as Bowser mistook him for a member of his crew, when Luigi was saying good-bye to Mario, and when Luigi tried to run away, Bowser catches him with a giant hand with his Koopa Cruiser, the ship they ride on). After an aerial ambush crashes their ship and sends Bowser to who-knows-where, Mario and Luigi embark on foot, learning new moves and combining their brotherly might to fight off enemies, as they venture toward the kingdom's castle.
