This game is a very good game overall except for the fact that when you beat the main story there is absolutely nothing to do.

This game is absolutely amazing. It is fun,challenging and it lasts for a pretty long time. You play as mario,luigi and bowser and you work together to save peach. Most of the game takes place in bowser's stomach where mario and luigi have to travel through. You also play as bowser which is a big step in the mario series. This is probably one of the best ds games out there. I would recommend this to anyone who has a ds, loves mario and likes rpgs.

This game was pretty decent. I didn't play it all the way through; I only got up to the point behind the castle with the robot. (I'm trying to be vague.) It was pretty funny and odd. "I have chortles!" is priceless.

Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is very fun, and in my opinion, one of the most challenging game of Mario yet. I liked the combat, powers, items and that Bowser was playable in a new kind of way and not sports games, but a real story plot where he's the good guy. This game needs minor changes though. The story kept getting mixed up from curing the blorbs from Toads to helping Bowser to stopping Fawful. I feel as though Mario and Luigi's roles were more minor than major if you know what I mean because it seemed like the star was Bowser. Bowser's parts were a little too combat heavy, and most of the time, Mario and Luigi were restricted to 2-D side scrolling. I think they need another sequel that involves a whole new plot that has Mario and Luigi have more major roles and they also need more characters that you can use to fight.

This game is actually pretty hard(unlike the other Mario games) a god challenge for gamers that have little time (cuz it can be like 5 min in between save points). The only thing I hate about this game is that u can't play it on dsi or 3ds only lite . So overall it's pretty cool for Mario fans

Had to use an Action Replay to get to the end. Seriously? Escaping bowser should have been the end of it.WAY TOO HARD!!! The way Mario & Luigi talk is funny, and I love the rotate-your-screen-and-battle-as-a-giant-bowser-with-touch-screen battles. The minigames are really good. If you have an AR and a LOT of time, get it.

GAMEPLAY - While the battle system itself is far from elaborate, the different applications of the different attacks keep the battles from getting old. My only complaint here is that the Mario and Luigi segments seem to fly by, and you play as Bowser a whole lot more. Not that playing as Bowser is bad - it's VERY enjoyable - I just would have liked for it to have been more balanced. GRAPHICS - Bright, vivid colors and destroyable environment make the Bowser segments really fun. All the different elements inside Bowser are very creatively done as well. SOUND - I LOVE Mario and Luigi's voicess. Normally the protagonists are just silent, or say a word or two here. In this game, however, they speak complete sentences in complete gibberish, but with an Italian accent. Absolutely hilarious. The music and sound effects are as top notch as you would expect from a Mario game. LASTING APPEAL - I don't know that this is one of those titles that I'll come back and play through on a regular basis, but it's definitley one that I'll hang on to for a long time.

Ok, don`t get me wrong this game is great but sometimes you just get lost. The graphics, story, sounds, rock. But some enemies are just way overpowered. Apart from mario and luigi partners in time, this has the same battle strategy.
