I’ve always loved partners in time. Playing with two extra characters was always super cool and unique because you got more diversity and crazy cool attacks
@@NMartininelli more of a negative than a plus for me took away alot of Mario and luigis movesets like the hammer, mini mario, bros attacks instead of bro items etc.
I’m so happy to see Partners in Time high up on your list! That one is my favorite! I absolutely love the darker story and tone, the Shroobs are actually creepy, Stuffwell is so much better than Starlow, the time travel mechanic is amazing, I love Professor E. Gadd and Toadsworth, Baby Peach is the cutest thing ever, and I just loved playing as both adult and baby Mario Bros
Dream Team is just a slightly worse Bowsers Inside Story and that's just because it feels stretched in some areas. Without that they would be equals imo. Paper Jam had great gameplay and I like the more standard setting of the game but they shouldn't repeat it (unique chars, setting and stroy are still better than standard Mario). I also agree with the things you said about Brothership but I also want to add stuff - Peacing should have been quicker in the beginning - The Final felt underwhelming especially in difficulty - They should have copied so many old bros moves - They should have kept certain Quality of Life changes made in previous entries (like being able to compare 2 pieces of gear)
14:30 I’m glad you said twists because after you defeat Zokket is when Brothership starts to get scary all the way to the final battle which does get even scarier.
Bowser‘s minions and Bowser juniors Journey are so underappreciated. Their gameplay isn’t the best thing in the world but it’s not awful and their stories are amazing and honestly their stories are genuinely better than the stories of the main game. They even went out of their way to fix continuity errors in the series
I like how all of these games are consistently good and I love how much love you've showcased for Partners in Time because it's a game I love a lot too and I hate when people dismiss it for some mistakes. Have a good day!
Swap dream team and partners in time and this is my list. I would rank brothership just above partners. Not bad, but too much is holding it back to make top 3
@@totallynormalclonewarsfanAgree! I definitely was thinking mainly of the action commands and the easy mode with Luigi logic, but I finished my first boss battle and it was fun! Loving the combat!
@@bluesky5384 Yeah, I actually died on the fourth boss (No spoilers, although it was a bit of a stupid mistake.) and I feel like I'm using one-ups more than I do in Bowsers inside story or superstar saga.
Bowser Inside Story on 1 is probably not that controversial. Especially not when you are talking about the remake that brought in the Quality of Life changes the other games have made.
10. Paper Jam 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. Dream Team Bros. 4. Superstar Saga 3. Brothership 2. Bowsers Inside Story 1. Partners in Time Yeah, Partners in Time is so dark it's actually amazing and I love it Also imo Brothership, Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story are really close together
Here's my list: (Brothership not ranked because I don't own it yet): 1. Paper Jam 2. Dream Team 3. Partners in Time 4. Superstar Saga 5. Bowser's Inside Story
Brothership felt like a worse Dream Team to me. Still a good game. I really don't know how you like Paper Jam the most and Bowser Inside Story the least tho. Paper Jam had great gameplay and having a Mario RPG take place in the standard Mario setting was a cool thing but I find a unique story, setting and unique characters more compelling. The only bad thing (I'm taking the remake as reference) about Bowser Inside Story that comes to my mind are the giant battles.
Superstar saga and pokemon emerald are the reason i got a gameboy advance as a kid. I remember beating the final boss on mario and luigi while my parent washed clothes at the laundromat. What an achievement. Definitely on my top 10 favorite games
I appreciate your bravery for this list! Nice video! Mine would probably be: 1. Bowser's Inside Story 2. Partners In Time 3. Brothership 4. Superstar Saga (Remake) 5. Dream Team 6. Paper Jam Though it has been a while since I've played Dream Team and I barely even touched Paper Jam.
Great video! Just found your channel through my TH-cam suggestions. I'm hoping to try out Brothership in the coming weeks here myself and I'm really hoping some of the negative things that other people are saying about it online doesn't bother me too much. :)
Thanks so much for the kind words! I hope you enjoy the content moving forward as always looking to continue to improve! Hopefully you like it when you play it!
1) Bowser’s Inside Story 2) Mario and Luigi Brothership 3) Mario and Luigi Dream Team Haven’t played the rest so I guess I can’t really give a proper ranking plus Bowser’s Inside Story is the only one of the Mario and Luigi games I actually finished (3 times as it’s that awesome) but being 20 hours into Mario and Luigi Brothership so far it’s a lot of fun too. Though Bowser’s Inside Story’s characters and story are a lot better I think plus the switching between Mario/Luigi and Bowser gameplay was so unique and cool. Dream Team I got a decent quarter into it years back before my 3DS broke but from what I remember it was fun once it got going but it was even slower and more hand holding in its beginning pacing than Brothership. I guess I remember that I technically did play Superstar Saga via the 3DS remake version but I only got 1-2 hours in it before my 3DS broke so I don’t remember anything about it. Partners in Time and Paper Jam I literally never played.
Most American critics these days have gotten down hill tbh; honestly as laughable as some of the roasting comments are, they're basically right about IGN saying those things given how IGN is nowadays.
All the games thus far have been so great, that I can't really make a ranked list, other than dream team not hitting as hard as the rest, so that one being at the lowest. I never played Paper Jam though, so I can't give that one a ranking.
I kind of agree though. The problem with Bowser's inside story is that it kind of puts Mario and Luigi on the backburner even though it suppose to be their series not Bowser's. DT, SS, and Brothership were the only games that at least understood this.
Okay wow I definitely agree that Brothership is lower half and definitely below Dream Team but dead last ? Well I guess Paper Jam had a proper final while Brothership had a unique story and setting.
I would say that out of all of the Mario & Luigi games, Dream Team was the one that left me feeling most accomplished after completion. I still love Superstar Saga, BIS, and Partners in Time. I didn't enjoy Paper Jam at all. Nevertheless, based on your review, I am looking forward to playing Brothership.
@@marioandultrachap I have been there since the beginning. Bowsers inside story is easily the peak of the series. Superstar saga ain’t the best because it’s first. It’s 3rd place being generous
Yeah putting brothrership over dream team is wild to me but you rank ss as number so I can't rag on you too much. I always did it like: 1. SS 2. DT 3. Broship 4. Inside story 5. Partners in Time 6. Paper Jam.
Just wanna throw this in? Here’s my list. 1.BIS 2. Dream Team 3. Brothership 4. superstars saga 5. Paper Jam 6. partners in time Note: partners in time is last because I haven’t been able to play it yet, I bet it is a great game tho. Brother ship isn’t a game I’ve beaten yet, but so far I’m greatly enjoying it and imo is one of the best looking switch games (love the art style and animation)
@@TheGalekGames I totally agree with you about brothership. It must be the most underrated game of the series. Anyways, you have to beat partners in time. It was the only game that the main Villain was much more bad than Bowser, thanks to Shroobs
To me personally, I'd say Brothership has claimed the top spot. With Dream Team in 2nd. Bowser's Inside Story in 3rd. Superstar Saga in 4th. Partners in Time in 5th. And of course, Paper Jam in last. Screw Paper Jam.
I’m only 15 hours into Brothership but here’s my ranking as it stands for now: 1. Bowser’s Inside Story 2. Dream Team 3. Superstar Saga 4. Partners in Time 5. Brothership 6. Paper Jam (derogatory) Keep in mind I ADORE this series so Brothership being second to last is not at all bad. I’m having a great time with Brothership so far, I just have a few gripes that are holding it back from being up there with the others
@@setherfluous mostly accurate list but inside story and superstar saga would swap. Brothership would be slightly above inside story but not by a whole lot both games have problems Opposite to each other. They're very middle of the road. Bowser inside story is a good game but not a good Mario and luigi game while brothership ironically the exact Opposite its a good Mario and luigi game but not necessarily a great game.
Here's my ranking of the m&l games : 1. All of them Those games are just so good, I cant decide which one I prefer, all of them have something to offer and I dont think there's one better than the others. I liked the video btw cuz it's cool :)
Based opinion. They all have aspects that make them great and not so great. Personally I just feel like some entries have more negative aspects than others so while I would say some entries are worse and some better it's still incredibly hart to rank them all.
So people just like another entry more which is fine. Also no one said that it isn't fantastic. Even Paper Jam which is in last place for most people is still seen as a great game which it is.
Bowser’s Inside Story is so easily the best game in this series, nothing else even comes a LITTLE close. Brothership better than it with all the padding, backtracking, and unfunny writing it has is ludicrous
Honestly with how much people dump on Paper Jam for its barebones story and uninspired aesthetic, I honestly forgot that Paper Jam is still technically a good game. When I played it the gameplay was pretty fun (Paper craft battles not withstanding) and introduced some great QOL features like emergency guard and cutscene speed up. Cutscene speed up especially is an incredible feature that improves the pacing of any game it's in automatically (Brothership included)
Bro was cooking until he got to BiS... 😞 Mine would be: 1. Bowser's Inside Story 2. Partners in Time 3. Superstar Saga 4. Dream Team 5. Paper Jam Haven't finished Brothership yet, but so far it's looking to be either between 3 and 4 or 4 and 5. If we're including remakes separately: 1. BiS 2. PiT 3. SS 4. BiS DX 5. DT 6. SS DX 7. PJ
1. Partners in Time 2. Bowser's Inside Story 3. Superstar Saga 4. Brothership (so far) 5. Dream Team 6. Paper Jam From amazing to decent. Even at its worst the series is very much enjoyable.
Do you really like Brothership more than Dream Team ? Brothership felt like a worse Dream Team to me. The pacing was even worse than Dream Team and they removed QQL features like comparing gear that existed in Dream Team. The Final also felt underwhelming in Brothership while Dream Team had a great Final. I don't wanna hate on Brothership, I had my fun with that game and it's fine if you like it more than Dream Team but it's kinda wild to me to put Brothership above Dream Team.
My list 1 partners in time 2 brothership 3 Dream team bros 4 inside story 5 superstar saga 6 paper jam Sorry for those who don't see their favorite games more higher but all games are so good that it was difficult for me to rank them
Yes, it did. The remake tho... Well one of the worst selling Mario Games ever. Not because it's bad (it's the DS game as 3DS game + QQL and the new Bowser Jr mode) but well... They released it for the 3DS in 2019... It was one of the last games to come out for the dying 3DS...
Id say that i was a huge fan of the series but missed out on alot here. Of the two that ive played my ranking is 1. Superstar saga 2. Dream team Both games were an amazing discovery to me and im excited to get brothership for christmas this year. Im certain i will atleast like it even if i dont love it and will probably dive back into the older games just because if the nestalgia of playing these games! And excellent game series and should probably keep and eye out for the other highly esteemed games.
Imo bowsers inside story is by far and away the best game in the series, had smooth combat, fun bros attacks, unique gameplay aspects, being able to see bowsers side of the story was really cool, it had the best humor, graphics wise I think it had the best mix of graphics and charm (after dream team they all looked the same and with the new 3d style I feel like some of that charm was lost,) BIS remains one of my favorite video games of all time, even after all these new amazing game come out like FFVII Rebirth, Elden ring, and so many more BIS will always have a special place in my gaming hall of fame along with the likes of Mario galaxy!
I've only played a handful of each one, so my list might be a little biased, but here it is so far...from worst to best... Paper Jam Dream Team Inside Story Brothership Partners In Time Superstar Saga Nintendo has a tendency to create "mediocre" games in a series after they try a revival. They did it here with Brothership and they did it with Orogami King. The "revival" game often falls in the middle...better than the worst but never topping the best.
Personally, I disagree with most. But that doesn't matter as it's your list! I think the most important fact is, that the new devolping team has made a great piece of art to revive the series. And that's what gets me hyped. There's always room to improve and for a great first start, the hopes are high for further masterpieces.
1 & 2. Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story, both games are very interchangeable depending on my mood 3. Brothership, the story is so good and it actually gives Luigi more to do than being Mario's shadow. And it improves the Combo mechanics Partners in Time had. 4. Partners in Time, it does nothing wrong and introduced combo attacks. But, I didn't like the Bros Attacks being purchasable instead of being an actual mechanic and rewarded. 5. Dream Team, it's a simple story bouncing from the real world and the dream world, as the Giant Luigi Battles are fun as Giant Bowser's battles. 6. Paper Jam, it's not bad, but it unfortunately relies on NSMB format Nintendo forced upon the Mario Series during that time.
1- Bowser's Inside Story 2- Superstar Saga 3- Brothership 4- Partners in Time 5- Dream Team LAST- Paper Jam (sorry but you'll never be anything other than last place)
The original Superstar Saga! I remember seeing the ad for the game and knew I needed it. Played it nonstop on my GBA, and still have my original game cart to this day! The only game my collection is missis the BIS remake
My list is 6-Paper Jam 5-Dream Team 4-Brothership 3-Partners in Time 2-SuperStar Saga (i prefer the remake) 1-Bowser's Inside Story (i prefer the original) BIS is my favorite game of all time! Fawful and Dark Star/Dark Bowser are tied as my favorite video game villains of all time too! Sorry but i strongly disagree with this list, i respect your opinions tho....
Have not played Brothership enough to fully rank it; I am still early in. But I did say "Best in the series since Bowser's Inside Story." But I will pick a rough guess pending rating for the time being. 6) Paper Jam (Story just felt meh, and characters and enemies felt too generic. But here were fun puzzles and what not) 5) Dream Team (May be tutorial heavy early on, but it has amazing Dream World and Giant battles. And one of the best boss themes ever) 4) Partners in Time (Yeah, it was innovative at the time and the graphics were a step above. And 4 party members added variety, and biggest part was the dark story. But the biggest issue is some of the parts where Mario and Luigi were separated from the babies did get clunky; the most annoying part is them not having hammers to counter attack certain enemies without the babies) 2 or 3) Superstar Saga (Excellent start to the amazing series and also still one of the best. I do think the original is the better version; pressing start to switch who leads Mario or Luigi was peak. Also preferred the 2D art style and the music quality and enemy designs, and character diversity) 1-3) Brothership (It's just that good so far, and looking forward to be getting even better) 1 or 2) Bowser's Inside Story (The absolute best for me via playing as Bowser, but I might change my mind when I finish Brothership)
my least favorites are Bowser's Inside Story and Paper Jam. Partners in Time was too short. For a Mario & Luigi game to work, the playable characters should just be Mario & Luigi, be set outside of the Mushroom Kingdom, introduce new enemies, have Unique NPC designs, and have multiple red and green brother pairs. Now, I can't decide if Brothership or Dream Team is the best
Great ranking, can't comment on Paper Jam fully as I've only watched others playing some of it so far (although I suspect it would rank the same for the reasons you mentioned as much as I'd most likely enjoy it to an extent) - the same applies also to Brothership, but that I have started playing and so far I'm quite enjoying it -, but overall agree with what you said about each game!
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam is the only Mario & Luigi game I beat so far, but I would love to try to finish Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey sometime……as long as I get my 3DS fixed (the A Button on my 3DS doesn’t work that well anymore, making it very difficult to continue Bowser’s Inside Story and Dream Team)
I think my recent replay of Paper Jam has raised it considerably in the rankings. I left it in my shelf with the 100% uncompleted (only the boss gauntlets), and thought not much of it until recently. I thought, that maybe the game deserved another chance, gave it a go, and I'm clearly enjoying it a lot more than Brothership. Not to say, that Brothership is bad, it just has inherent problems to it, like its pacing. The game feels way too slow to complete, barely gives you new attacks to play around with, and the combat got a little stale. Paper Jam kept me company by giving me a lot more variety to enemies, gave reason to learn their attacks with the expert challenge system, and has probably the best gameplay in the entire series. It's honestly surprising how much my opinion has changed, even though I'm not even done with either game currently. To give you my ranking, I would say: 1. Bowser's Inside Story (I think this is probably the most common spot for this game, which surprises no one) 2. Dream Team (Despite having a lot of tutorials, it's an incredibly fun game for me) 3. Paper Jam (Yeah, it used to be number 5, it got THIS high) 4. Partners in Time (This game holds a special place for me, and is highly replayable since it's on the shorter side, this used to be my favorite for a looooong time) 5. Brothership (Only winning the first in the series is a start, at least) 6. Superstar Saga (This is personally just less fun for me to play than the rest, might have something to do with the fact I played it last before Brothership was released)
Ranking the Mario and Luigi games is *very* difficult. They are all great games but also have flaws. Superstar Saga is the start of a great series. It's lots of fun, creative and humorous but the battle system is the most basic (as you might expect from the first t. It laid the foundation which it's successors expanded upon. Partners in Time is the first I ever played and that got me into the series and I loved and still love the game but it is way too short. It's kind of like SMRPG: It's exceptional but short. That is it's biggest flaw. The overall story and setting were just great. Bowser Inside Story definitely deserves to be the fan favorite. It's the one Mario and Luigi where I can't say anything negative about except for the giant battles. The first 3 games were the most unique and Bowsers Inside Story heavily influenced all the games that were to come after it. Dream Team has lots of content and added so many quality of life features that Paper Jam and the remakes expanded upon later on. It got heavily inspired by BIS but still feels like its own game. The problem is that it feels stretched here and there. Paper Jam is the one game that was received the worst which I find sad. It lacks the uniqueness it's predecessors had. It's pretty much standard Mario but as an RPG which breaks with the formula of all other Mario RPGs have a unique story, setting and characters. I kinda liked it tho. Having one Mario RPG do that is fine imo but they should keep it at that one instance. Other than that this installment and by far the best gameplay and battle system. Now regarding Brothership: I'm glad they didn't do Mario and Luigi dirty like they did with Mario Party or Paper Mario. It is a worthy 6th entry but it has flaws. The game felt peak while you were in the 2nd and 3rd ocean but very slow while you were in the 1st one and the final section is unfortunately the worst of any Mario and Luigi imo. The music is also rather disappointing. Many quality of life features Dream Team introduced were brought over some left out (why?). To me Dream Team felt like it wanted to be like Bowsers Inside Story and Brothership felt like it wanted to be Dream Team. If I had to rank to the games: 1. Bowsers Inside Story & Partners of Time 2. Dream Team 3. Superstar Saga & Brothership 4. Paper Jam
1. Partners in time 2. Superstar saga 3. Dream Team 4. Paper Jam 5. Bowser’s inside story I have yet too play Brothership and it midt be number 2 for me and Bowser’s inside story (the og) is really overrated but the remake is good
In my opinion 1. BIS, I can agree it's overrated but it's for a good reason also toadsworth is in it 2. Brothership, maybe it's because new release but I enjoyed the story it's just pacing issues at times 3. Partners in time, I played it on a phone emulator so it wasn't the best experience to play but 100% it is still great. Our boy toadsworth is worth the pain of phone gameplay. Otherwise everything is great about the game 4. Superstar saga 5. Dream team, it's alright. Luigi isn't really my favorite character and that's really where it basically is supposed to sell all about luigi even more than brothership but it's still fun 6. Paper Jam, never even finished it. Paper Toad missions sucked.
I always think inside story is kind of undeserved number 1 since people played that game first so theres gonna be some bias there and it kind of misrepresents what the series is. They think its about Bowser when its not so it leaves a false impression.
@marioandultrachap I played Dream Team and Superstar saga before I ever played inside story. It's still Mario & Luigi who make this game amazing for me. The battle theme and the Bros moves are some of my most favorite parts of BIS. Honestly the only game that's better with bros moves is Dream team that has an even better selection though with a worse feeling game compared to the others. Bowser was just kinda of a mixed bag. He was good to be a one off playable character
@@war1011 but Mario and luigi are very much on back burner in this game. And I prefer superstar saga bros moves more cause after that they weren't even moves they were just items then in top of that if everyone's telling the game is the best your probably gonna believe yeah the game is the best. I been a fan into the series since the beginning played all the games in chronological order. Inside story was fun but I was more disappointed with inside story than anything especially fawful. I was hoping for more of a revenge story on fawful but you could of put any villian in that role and it wouldn't of changed the story that much. I put Dream Team as the second favorite for many reasons cause we didn't have another gimmick side character to play like the other games. Luigi was the center yes but it still focused on bros and luigis relationship to Mario and thats what Mario and luigi were about thats what superstar saga also emphasize. Though Bowser was fun it still took away from the main characters of the series being Mario Bros. Dream Team brought that back again and so did brothership but brothership is kind of a mixed bag it did a lot of things right but it did quite a few things wrong so I put it that game 3rd slightly above inside story. With Dream team second superstar saga number 1.
@@war1011 luigi not my favorite character either but in these games I like him alot he shows much more personality in this series than he does in the other Mario series
@@marioandultrachap I can definitely agree superstar saga was the most unique but I can't help but not say I basically never used any other bros moves after I obtained hammer moves being reasonably cheap and high damaging compared to future installments. PIT usually I vary attacks occasionally unless it's a boss so I use all of em, Inside Story & Dream team outside of shell and fire flower I constantly switch around in use, and Brothership in the progession I am in the fire & snow part I use all 6 moves available besides green shell just use the lightning instead. The only main reason I put inside story above brothership is because of how quickly you get the moves, brothership is my least favorite in that department and the ship early game sucks if you accidentally miss the cannon for the next island
I haven’t finished brothership yet, in fact I’ve only played the first few hours, but so far I’m despising it. Everything is a slow cutscene, Luigi feels more like a side character than a second direct controlled hero especially with his new weird mechanic where he goes off on his own, Luigi’s battle menus using A, the art style not being my thing, the awful new sidekick, the music just doesn’t live up to the other games imo, the world being split up into islands instead of being interconnected, the constant cutscenes for Luigi getting a spark in his one brain cell… the list goes on. I’m a huge M&L fan who even loved Paper Jam, so I was so hyped for this game and it’s just really disappointing me in the opening to the point where I don’t want to continue. I don’t see how the game can recover past 6th place for me regardless of how good it might get later with how I feel about it at the moment, and most of my issues seem like they’ll span the entire runtime. Personal ranking is: 1. Dream Team - I’ve never understood the tutorial complaint, I’ve never really noticed it especially compared to Bowser’s Inside Story’s abundant tutorials for example. Maybe it’s because many DT players were already familiar with the series so didn’t need them so got annoyed? The world is just so well designed and the game feels like a journey through this island. Going everywhere has a purpose, I love the character designs and I love the dream world. The music and art style is also right up my alley. 2. Bowser’s Inside Story 3. Superstar Saga 4. Partners in Time 5. Paper Jam 6. Brothership (first few hours)
@@Mikey_573 you'll probably have the same opinion I did it's a mixed bag. The game gets more interesting about halfway through but it gets pretty boring and repetitive for a while. Except for the combat that's the main thing that kept me engaged.
Superstar saga is still king! Brothership has some major performance issues for me and the game takes soo long and there is so much dialogue like they think im new to these games lol.
Seeing a lot of hot takes in the comments and the video….how in the world is BiS not #1!!??! Bowser is AWESOME, CMON!!! The first 3 games are the best, I can actually see their placements being interchangeable, but how in the world anyone sees games 4 and beyond ranked ABOVE 1, 2 and 3 is beyond me…..to each their own I guess Shoot I absolutely loved both Minions games….i guess for me, #1 and #2 would have to be both 3DS remakes, mostly because of the Minions games. Plus BiS having those harder post game versions of the giant battles was great. BUT even if neither game had been remade Bowsers Inside Story is still #1 while Superstar Saga is #2, the 3DS remakes were really just the Cherry on top lol….Partners in Time is definitely #3 for me, it’s a shame it was never remade for the 3DS, but oh well
My rankings 1. SS 2. BIS 3. Brothership 4. PiT 5. Dream Team 6. SS Remake 7. Paper Jam 8. BIS Remake None of these are really that bad (beside the horror Remake of the BIS, that can burn in hell)
I‘m kinda bummed that Brothership, despite its unique characters and worlds, is still afraid to feature unique Toads or even allude to a Toad Town in the intro. Since Toadsworth was alive up until Dream Team and came back in the Paper Mario remake, he should’ve been reintroduced here, alongside Toadbert and some other unique Toads, maybe some female or younger ones… Mario‘s bland era is mostly over, however the Toads are still not free. Even the Mario movie wasn’t allowed to feature unique ones. Free my boys and bring Toad Town back! If it one day returns to how it was in, say, Bowser’s Inside story, I‘m finally gonna be happy with the Mario series again.
@@haris_kekos you're just either lying to yourself or having not enough knowledge about game design. PIT is quite bad compared to BIS and DIT, that's all 😂 People having other views and opinions doesn't mean hate
1. Bowsers inside story 2. Dream team 3. Could go either superstar saga or brothership 4. Paper jam 5. I havent played partners in time yet Even though dream teams tutorials were too long, I still love the game. Brothership would be higher if they had the original composer imo.

@Swiftjar no thank you for highlights one of my favorite rpg games
I’ve always loved partners in time. Playing with two extra characters was always super cool and unique because you got more diversity and crazy cool attacks
You get it!!
@@NMartininelli more of a negative than a plus for me took away alot of Mario and luigis movesets like the hammer, mini mario, bros attacks instead of bro items etc.
I’m so happy to see Partners in Time high up on your list! That one is my favorite! I absolutely love the darker story and tone, the Shroobs are actually creepy, Stuffwell is so much better than Starlow, the time travel mechanic is amazing, I love Professor E. Gadd and Toadsworth, Baby Peach is the cutest thing ever, and I just loved playing as both adult and baby Mario Bros
You are certainly welcome! It is super underrated. If a phenomenal game hey!
Dream Team is goated, Paper Jam is overhated. Brothership needs a few tweeks in music, B button and Luigi stick, etc. Good games
!!!
Even after having played for more than 10 hours im still missclicking with the B button 🥲
Dream Team is just a slightly worse Bowsers Inside Story and that's just because it feels stretched in some areas. Without that they would be equals imo. Paper Jam had great gameplay and I like the more standard setting of the game but they shouldn't repeat it (unique chars, setting and stroy are still better than standard Mario).
I also agree with the things you said about Brothership but I also want to add stuff
- Peacing should have been quicker in the beginning
- The Final felt underwhelming especially in difficulty
- They should have copied so many old bros moves
- They should have kept certain Quality of Life changes made in previous entries (like being able to compare 2 pieces of gear)
14:30 I’m glad you said twists because after you defeat Zokket is when Brothership starts to get scary all the way to the final battle which does get even scarier.
Bowser‘s minions and Bowser juniors Journey are so underappreciated. Their gameplay isn’t the best thing in the world but it’s not awful and their stories are amazing and honestly their stories are genuinely better than the stories of the main game. They even went out of their way to fix continuity errors in the series
I do agree!
sad we didn't get anything like them for brothership
I like how all of these games are consistently good and I love how much love you've showcased for Partners in Time because it's a game I love a lot too and I hate when people dismiss it for some mistakes. Have a good day!
1. Bowser’s Inside Story
2. Superstar Saga

Swap dream team and partners in time and this is my list.
I would rank brothership just above partners. Not bad, but too much is holding it back to make top 3
@@firenze6478 agreed
Perfect list
Brothership on 6th place.
@@renepertl6799 it’s better than paper jam at least.
Im so glad partners in time is geting the attention it deserves, (my favorite game) but I didn’t expect it to be above bowsers inside story :p
I love it!
Brothership feels super easy compared to the others so far but it has unique characters and areas so I'm enjoying it!
Personally, I think the enemies hit harder, but the action commands are MUCH easier in brothership. It kinda balances out.
@@totallynormalclonewarsfanAgree! I definitely was thinking mainly of the action commands and the easy mode with Luigi logic, but I finished my first boss battle and it was fun! Loving the combat!
@@bluesky5384 Yeah, I actually died on the fourth boss (No spoilers, although it was a bit of a stupid mistake.) and I feel like I'm using one-ups more than I do in Bowsers inside story or superstar saga.
My controversial opinion is that the Dream team is #2, and the Bowsers' inside story is #1 and Ive played all but the new one.
Bowser Inside Story on 1 is probably not that controversial. Especially not when you are talking about the remake that brought in the Quality of Life changes the other games have made.

Here's my list: (Brothership not ranked because I don't own it yet):
1. Paper Jam
2. Dream Team
3. Partners in Time
4. Superstar Saga
5. Bowser's Inside Story
How did Paper Jam get up there
FINALLY! Someone who likes paper jam! Thanks for existing!
Finally, someone who is not riding Bowser's Inside Story. Finally something different.
Im glad you exist.
Brothership felt like a worse Dream Team to me. Still a good game. I really don't know how you like Paper Jam the most and Bowser Inside Story the least tho. Paper Jam had great gameplay and having a Mario RPG take place in the standard Mario setting was a cool thing but I find a unique story, setting and unique characters more compelling. The only bad thing (I'm taking the remake as reference) about Bowser Inside Story that comes to my mind are the giant battles.
Superstar saga and pokemon emerald are the reason i got a gameboy advance as a kid. I remember beating the final boss on mario and luigi while my parent washed clothes at the laundromat. What an achievement. Definitely on my top 10 favorite games
I appreciate your bravery for this list! Nice video! Mine would probably be:
1. Bowser's Inside Story
2. Partners In Time
3. Brothership
4. Superstar Saga (Remake)
5. Dream Team
6. Paper Jam
Though it has been a while since I've played Dream Team and I barely even touched Paper Jam.
Partners in Time will always be the very best in my eyes
Great video! Just found your channel through my TH-cam suggestions. I'm hoping to try out Brothership in the coming weeks here myself and I'm really hoping some of the negative things that other people are saying about it online doesn't bother me too much. :)
Thanks so much for the kind words! I hope you enjoy the content moving forward as always looking to continue to improve! Hopefully you like it when you play it!
19:10 since you like darker nintendo games have you played super paper mario?
Yep! And I really really like it! I do prefer TTYD though and the original!
1) Bowser’s Inside Story
2) Mario and Luigi Brothership
3) Mario and Luigi Dream Team
Haven’t played the rest so I guess I can’t really give a proper ranking plus Bowser’s Inside Story is the only one of the Mario and Luigi games I actually finished (3 times as it’s that awesome) but being 20 hours into Mario and Luigi Brothership so far it’s a lot of fun too. Though Bowser’s Inside Story’s characters and story are a lot better I think plus the switching between Mario/Luigi and Bowser gameplay was so unique and cool. Dream Team I got a decent quarter into it years back before my 3DS broke but from what I remember it was fun once it got going but it was even slower and more hand holding in its beginning pacing than Brothership.
I guess I remember that I technically did play Superstar Saga via the 3DS remake version but I only got 1-2 hours in it before my 3DS broke so I don’t remember anything about it. Partners in Time and Paper Jam I literally never played.
Ngl i was scared brotherahip was gonna be mid considering some early reviews but ive started seeing more positivity so thats nice
mixed bag to me
It’s very good IMO
@@Swiftjar to Mario and Luigi fan it did a lot of things right but as a game itself it did alot of things wrong.
Most American critics these days have gotten down hill tbh; honestly as laughable as some of the roasting comments are, they're basically right about IGN saying those things given how IGN is nowadays.
All the games thus far have been so great, that I can't really make a ranked list, other than dream team not hitting as hard as the rest, so that one being at the lowest. I never played Paper Jam though, so I can't give that one a ranking.
I completely agree. Really wanted to stress this when making the video haha! They’re all really good.
Super star saga should always be number 1
Number two being partners in time is absolutely perfect.
Great list.
I’m glad we share the same opinion! 🧑🍳 🤝
Partners in Time is so underrated. The game did feel oddly dark and creepy which makes it stand out
It is a great game but way too short.
21 years of peak
Brothership above Bowser’s Inside Story is wild in my opinion.
I haven’t even played brother ship but that's a WILD take
@
I’m like a third of the way into it; Bowser’s inside story is better
I kind of agree though. The problem with Bowser's inside story is that it kind of puts Mario and Luigi on the backburner even though it suppose to be their series not Bowser's. DT, SS, and Brothership were the only games that at least understood this.
@@marioandultrachapNot PiT?

@@ronano06 🙌
Okay wow I definitely agree that Brothership is lower half and definitely below Dream Team but dead last ? Well I guess Paper Jam had a proper final while Brothership had a unique story and setting.
i’m so glad we got a new game
I would say that out of all of the Mario & Luigi games, Dream Team was the one that left me feeling most accomplished after completion. I still love Superstar Saga, BIS, and Partners in Time. I didn't enjoy Paper Jam at all.
Nevertheless, based on your review, I am looking forward to playing Brothership.
Bowsers inside story at 4 is criminal. It’s easily the best one
Agreed
I thought I’d offend some 😂😅
Agree.
@@Bxrry125 for normies yeah not fans who were there since the beginning
@@marioandultrachap I have been there since the beginning. Bowsers inside story is easily the peak of the series. Superstar saga ain’t the best because it’s first. It’s 3rd place being generous

Note: partners in time is last because I haven’t been able to play it yet, I bet it is a great game tho.
Brother ship isn’t a game I’ve beaten yet, but so far I’m greatly enjoying it and imo is one of the best looking switch games (love the art style and animation)
@@TheGalekGames I totally agree with you about brothership. It must be the most underrated game of the series. Anyways, you have to beat partners in time. It was the only game that the main Villain was much more bad than Bowser, thanks to Shroobs

1. Bowser’s Inside Story
2. Dream Team
3. Superstar Saga
4. Partners in Time
5. Brothership
6. Paper Jam (derogatory)
Keep in mind I ADORE this series so Brothership being second to last is not at all bad. I’m having a great time with Brothership so far, I just have a few gripes that are holding it back from being up there with the others
I know the feeling completely here! It is how I am with Dream Team.. Second bottom but so good still
@@setherfluous mostly accurate list but inside story and superstar saga would swap. Brothership would be slightly above inside story but not by a whole lot both games have problems Opposite to each other.
They're very middle of the road. Bowser inside story is a good game but not a good Mario and luigi game while brothership ironically the exact Opposite its a good Mario and luigi game but not necessarily a great game.
Here's my ranking of the m&l games :
1. All of them
Those games are just so good, I cant decide which one I prefer, all of them have something to offer and I dont think there's one better than the others.
I liked the video btw cuz it's cool :)
Based opinion. They all have aspects that make them great and not so great. Personally I just feel like some entries have more negative aspects than others so while I would say some entries are worse and some better it's still incredibly hart to rank them all.
I don't understand why people don't understand that Bowser's Inside Story is fantastic
They do, it's #1 on most lists
It is! It’s a great game!
So people just like another entry more which is fine. Also no one said that it isn't fantastic. Even Paper Jam which is in last place for most people is still seen as a great game which it is.
Bowser’s Inside Story is so easily the best game in this series, nothing else even comes a LITTLE close. Brothership better than it with all the padding, backtracking, and unfunny writing it has is ludicrous
Dream Team and Paper Jam have always been my favorites and always will. Can't wait to play Brothership though later this month
Very nice! You will enjoy Brothership!
Honestly with how much people dump on Paper Jam for its barebones story and uninspired aesthetic, I honestly forgot that Paper Jam is still technically a good game.
When I played it the gameplay was pretty fun (Paper craft battles not withstanding) and introduced some great QOL features like emergency guard and cutscene speed up.
Cutscene speed up especially is an incredible feature that improves the pacing of any game it's in automatically (Brothership included)
Paper Jam started good, but dragged on so long it was horrible. Worst one by far alongside BIS.
1. Bowser’s Inside Story
2. Superstar Saga
3. Brothership
4. Partners In Time
5. Dream Team
6. Paper Jam
Perfect List
Bowser's inside story is brutal. The another Mario & Luigi Rpg games, I have to play it more. I'm here for the giveaway.
Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story are two of my favorite Mario and Luigi games I've played.
Phenomenal games!
Definitely my top two.
Incidentally don’t care for the remake of ss but love bis remake
I don't hate any Mario and Luigi game, with Dream Team being my favorite, and I actually enjoy all the Paper Mario games too. All great games.

5. Dream Team
6. Paper Jam
From amazing to decent. Even at its worst the series is very much enjoyable.
Do you really like Brothership more than Dream Team ? Brothership felt like a worse Dream Team to me. The pacing was even worse than Dream Team and they removed QQL features like comparing gear that existed in Dream Team. The Final also felt underwhelming in Brothership while Dream Team had a great Final. I don't wanna hate on Brothership, I had my fun with that game and it's fine if you like it more than Dream Team but it's kinda wild to me to put Brothership above Dream Team.
Nice rankings. Good luck to everyone else participating in the giveaway. Hopefully, I can win one of these.

Exactly!!
Ngl bowsers insidexstory will always be number 1 didn't it also hit the most sales
Yes, it did. The remake tho... Well one of the worst selling Mario Games ever. Not because it's bad (it's the DS game as 3DS game + QQL and the new Bowser Jr mode) but well... They released it for the 3DS in 2019... It was one of the last games to come out for the dying 3DS...
Partners in time is goated ngl
Fr fr
Yes
I'm so excited for this game!! I would love to play it!
You will enjoy it!
Id say that i was a huge fan of the series but missed out on alot here.
Of the two that ive played my ranking is
1. Superstar saga
2. Dream team
Both games were an amazing discovery to me and im excited to get brothership for christmas this year.
Im certain i will atleast like it even if i dont love it and will probably dive back into the older games just because if the nestalgia of playing these games! And excellent game series and should probably keep and eye out for the other highly esteemed games.
I need that game.... I pray that switch was gonna continue the series and they have answered
Imo bowsers inside story is by far and away the best game in the series, had smooth combat, fun bros attacks, unique gameplay aspects, being able to see bowsers side of the story was really cool, it had the best humor, graphics wise I think it had the best mix of graphics and charm (after dream team they all looked the same and with the new 3d style I feel like some of that charm was lost,) BIS remains one of my favorite video games of all time, even after all these new amazing game come out like FFVII Rebirth, Elden ring, and so many more BIS will always have a special place in my gaming hall of fame along with the likes of Mario galaxy!
Partners in time will always be my favourite. Great list :)
Yes! Thank you! Partners in time is legendary
I've only played a handful of each one, so my list might be a little biased, but here it is so far...from worst to best...
Paper Jam
Dream Team
Inside Story
Brothership
Partners In Time
Superstar Saga
Nintendo has a tendency to create "mediocre" games in a series after they try a revival. They did it here with Brothership and they did it with Orogami King. The "revival" game often falls in the middle...better than the worst but never topping the best.
Nice ranking! It’ll be interesting to see if it changes after you finish the games!
Personally, I disagree with most. But that doesn't matter as it's your list!
I think the most important fact is, that the new devolping team has made a great piece of art to revive the series. And that's what gets me hyped. There's always room to improve and for a great first start, the hopes are high for further masterpieces.
@@maxikle Absoloutely! I could toss a coin for my #3 and #4 spots! But my 1 and 2 are locked in. A great series none the less
1 & 2. Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story, both games are very interchangeable depending on my mood
3. Brothership, the story is so good and it actually gives Luigi more to do than being Mario's shadow. And it improves the Combo mechanics Partners in Time had.
4. Partners in Time, it does nothing wrong and introduced combo attacks. But, I didn't like the Bros Attacks being purchasable instead of being an actual mechanic and rewarded.
5. Dream Team, it's a simple story bouncing from the real world and the dream world, as the Giant Luigi Battles are fun as Giant Bowser's battles.
6. Paper Jam, it's not bad, but it unfortunately relies on NSMB format Nintendo forced upon the Mario Series during that time.
1- Bowser's Inside Story
2- Superstar Saga
3- Brothership
4- Partners in Time
5- Dream Team
LAST- Paper Jam (sorry but you'll never be anything other than last place)
Paper jam is good
The original Superstar Saga! I remember seeing the ad for the game and knew I needed it. Played it nonstop on my GBA, and still have my original game cart to this day! The only game my collection is missis the BIS remake
Oh wow! I remember getting it for Christmas! Was a really good present as a kid. I still have my original copy! Great series
My list is
6-Paper Jam
5-Dream Team
4-Brothership
3-Partners in Time
2-SuperStar Saga (i prefer the remake)
1-Bowser's Inside Story (i prefer the original)
BIS is my favorite game of all time!
Fawful and Dark Star/Dark Bowser are tied as my favorite video game villains of all time too!
Sorry but i strongly disagree with this list, i respect your opinions tho....
Have not played Brothership enough to fully rank it; I am still early in. But I did say "Best in the series since Bowser's Inside Story." But I will pick a rough guess pending rating for the time being.
6) Paper Jam (Story just felt meh, and characters and enemies felt too generic. But here were fun puzzles and what not)
5) Dream Team (May be tutorial heavy early on, but it has amazing Dream World and Giant battles. And one of the best boss themes ever)
4) Partners in Time (Yeah, it was innovative at the time and the graphics were a step above. And 4 party members added variety, and biggest part was the dark story. But the biggest issue is some of the parts where Mario and Luigi were separated from the babies did get clunky; the most annoying part is them not having hammers to counter attack certain enemies without the babies)
2 or 3) Superstar Saga (Excellent start to the amazing series and also still one of the best. I do think the original is the better version; pressing start to switch who leads Mario or Luigi was peak. Also preferred the 2D art style and the music quality and enemy designs, and character diversity)
1-3) Brothership (It's just that good so far, and looking forward to be getting even better)
1 or 2) Bowser's Inside Story (The absolute best for me via playing as Bowser, but I might change my mind when I finish Brothership)
Partners in time got the rank it deserves
🤝
my least favorites are Bowser's Inside Story and Paper Jam. Partners in Time was too short. For a Mario & Luigi game to work, the playable characters should just be Mario & Luigi, be set outside of the Mushroom Kingdom, introduce new enemies, have Unique NPC designs, and have multiple red and green brother pairs. Now, I can't decide if Brothership or Dream Team is the best
Great ranking, can't comment on Paper Jam fully as I've only watched others playing some of it so far (although I suspect it would rank the same for the reasons you mentioned as much as I'd most likely enjoy it to an extent) - the same applies also to Brothership, but that I have started playing and so far I'm quite enjoying it -, but overall agree with what you said about each game!
Thanks mate! Took a while for my order. I felt so guilty placing BIS at #4 but the series is that good it’s a compliment.
I love all these games so much
Superstar saga's number 1...smart man. suprised mofos didn't say Bowser's inside story like everyone else lol.
!!! Yeah. I always loved Superstar Saga. A great game
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam is the only Mario & Luigi game I beat so far, but I would love to try to finish Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey sometime……as long as I get my 3DS fixed (the A Button on my 3DS doesn’t work that well anymore, making it very difficult to continue Bowser’s Inside Story and Dream Team)
Oh very nice! You will have a blast on all of them!
Fantastic video. My favourite is bowsers inside story
Legend! A great choice
I think my recent replay of Paper Jam has raised it considerably in the rankings. I left it in my shelf with the 100% uncompleted (only the boss gauntlets), and thought not much of it until recently. I thought, that maybe the game deserved another chance, gave it a go, and I'm clearly enjoying it a lot more than Brothership. Not to say, that Brothership is bad, it just has inherent problems to it, like its pacing. The game feels way too slow to complete, barely gives you new attacks to play around with, and the combat got a little stale. Paper Jam kept me company by giving me a lot more variety to enemies, gave reason to learn their attacks with the expert challenge system, and has probably the best gameplay in the entire series. It's honestly surprising how much my opinion has changed, even though I'm not even done with either game currently.
To give you my ranking, I would say:
1. Bowser's Inside Story (I think this is probably the most common spot for this game, which surprises no one)
2. Dream Team (Despite having a lot of tutorials, it's an incredibly fun game for me)
3. Paper Jam (Yeah, it used to be number 5, it got THIS high)
4. Partners in Time (This game holds a special place for me, and is highly replayable since it's on the shorter side, this used to be my favorite for a looooong time)
5. Brothership (Only winning the first in the series is a start, at least)
6. Superstar Saga (This is personally just less fun for me to play than the rest, might have something to do with the fact I played it last before Brothership was released)
Superstar saga is my favourite
A fantastic choice!
Mine too
Same
Bowser inside story 4?! Really? That was the peak of the series in my opinion.
Ranking the Mario and Luigi games is *very* difficult. They are all great games but also have flaws.
Superstar Saga is the start of a great series. It's lots of fun, creative and humorous but the battle system is the most basic (as you might expect from the first t. It laid the foundation which it's successors expanded upon.
Partners in Time is the first I ever played and that got me into the series and I loved and still love the game but it is way too short. It's kind of like SMRPG: It's exceptional but short. That is it's biggest flaw. The overall story and setting were just great.
Bowser Inside Story definitely deserves to be the fan favorite. It's the one Mario and Luigi where I can't say anything negative about except for the giant battles. The first 3 games were the most unique and Bowsers Inside Story heavily influenced all the games that were to come after it.
Dream Team has lots of content and added so many quality of life features that Paper Jam and the remakes expanded upon later on. It got heavily inspired by BIS but still feels like its own game. The problem is that it feels stretched here and there.
Paper Jam is the one game that was received the worst which I find sad. It lacks the uniqueness it's predecessors had. It's pretty much standard Mario but as an RPG which breaks with the formula of all other Mario RPGs have a unique story, setting and characters. I kinda liked it tho. Having one Mario RPG do that is fine imo but they should keep it at that one instance. Other than that this installment and by far the best gameplay and battle system.
Now regarding Brothership: I'm glad they didn't do Mario and Luigi dirty like they did with Mario Party or Paper Mario. It is a worthy 6th entry but it has flaws. The game felt peak while you were in the 2nd and 3rd ocean but very slow while you were in the 1st one and the final section is unfortunately the worst of any Mario and Luigi imo. The music is also rather disappointing. Many quality of life features Dream Team introduced were brought over some left out (why?). To me Dream Team felt like it wanted to be like Bowsers Inside Story and Brothership felt like it wanted to be Dream Team.
If I had to rank to the games:
1. Bowsers Inside Story & Partners of Time
2. Dream Team
3. Superstar Saga & Brothership
4. Paper Jam
All fantastic games! I think I have the same ranking as you except I would switch Paper Jam with Dream Team. The tutorials kill DT for me.
That’s awesome. Yeah the tutorials sucked in DT. But the game was certainly great!
1. Partners in time
2. Superstar saga
3. Dream Team
4. Paper Jam
5. Bowser’s inside story
I have yet too play Brothership and it midt be number 2 for me and Bowser’s inside story (the og) is really overrated but the remake is good
In my opinion
1. BIS, I can agree it's overrated but it's for a good reason also toadsworth is in it
2. Brothership, maybe it's because new release but I enjoyed the story it's just pacing issues at times
3. Partners in time, I played it on a phone emulator so it wasn't the best experience to play but 100% it is still great. Our boy toadsworth is worth the pain of phone gameplay. Otherwise everything is great about the game
4. Superstar saga
5. Dream team, it's alright. Luigi isn't really my favorite character and that's really where it basically is supposed to sell all about luigi even more than brothership but it's still fun
6. Paper Jam, never even finished it. Paper Toad missions sucked.
I always think inside story is kind of undeserved number 1 since people played that game first so theres gonna be some bias there and it kind of misrepresents what the series is. They think its about Bowser when its not so it leaves a false impression.
@marioandultrachap I played Dream Team and Superstar saga before I ever played inside story. It's still Mario & Luigi who make this game amazing for me. The battle theme and the Bros moves are some of my most favorite parts of BIS. Honestly the only game that's better with bros moves is Dream team that has an even better selection though with a worse feeling game compared to the others.
Bowser was just kinda of a mixed bag.
He was good to be a one off playable character
@@war1011 but Mario and luigi are very much on back burner in this game. And I prefer superstar saga bros moves more cause after that they weren't even moves they were just items then in top of that if everyone's telling the game is the best your probably gonna believe yeah the game is the best. I been a fan into the series since the beginning played all the games in chronological order. Inside story was fun but I was more disappointed with inside story than anything especially fawful. I was hoping for more of a revenge story on fawful but you could of put any villian in that role and it wouldn't of changed the story that much.
I put Dream Team as the second favorite for many reasons cause we didn't have another gimmick side character to play like the other games. Luigi was the center yes but it still focused on bros and luigis relationship to Mario and thats what Mario and luigi were about thats what superstar saga also emphasize. Though Bowser was fun it still took away from the main characters of the series being Mario Bros. Dream Team brought that back again and so did brothership but brothership is kind of a mixed bag it did a lot of things right but it did quite a few things wrong so I put it that game 3rd slightly above inside story. With Dream team second superstar saga number 1.
@@war1011 luigi not my favorite character either but in these games I like him alot he shows much more personality in this series than he does in the other Mario series
@@marioandultrachap I can definitely agree superstar saga was the most unique but I can't help but not say I basically never used any other bros moves after I obtained hammer moves being reasonably cheap and high damaging compared to future installments. PIT usually I vary attacks occasionally unless it's a boss so I use all of em, Inside Story & Dream team outside of shell and fire flower I constantly switch around in use, and Brothership in the progession I am in the fire & snow part I use all 6 moves available besides green shell just use the lightning instead.
The only main reason I put inside story above brothership is because of how quickly you get the moves, brothership is my least favorite in that department and the ship early game sucks if you accidentally miss the cannon for the next island
I haven’t finished brothership yet, in fact I’ve only played the first few hours, but so far I’m despising it. Everything is a slow cutscene, Luigi feels more like a side character than a second direct controlled hero especially with his new weird mechanic where he goes off on his own, Luigi’s battle menus using A, the art style not being my thing, the awful new sidekick, the music just doesn’t live up to the other games imo, the world being split up into islands instead of being interconnected, the constant cutscenes for Luigi getting a spark in his one brain cell… the list goes on. I’m a huge M&L fan who even loved Paper Jam, so I was so hyped for this game and it’s just really disappointing me in the opening to the point where I don’t want to continue. I don’t see how the game can recover past 6th place for me regardless of how good it might get later with how I feel about it at the moment, and most of my issues seem like they’ll span the entire runtime.
Personal ranking is:
1. Dream Team - I’ve never understood the tutorial complaint, I’ve never really noticed it especially compared to Bowser’s Inside Story’s abundant tutorials for example. Maybe it’s because many DT players were already familiar with the series so didn’t need them so got annoyed? The world is just so well designed and the game feels like a journey through this island. Going everywhere has a purpose, I love the character designs and I love the dream world. The music and art style is also right up my alley.
2. Bowser’s Inside Story
3. Superstar Saga
4. Partners in Time
5. Paper Jam
6. Brothership (first few hours)
Very valid points here! The game certainly opens up after the first few hours! I’d love to see your ranking once you’re done!
@@Mikey_573 you'll probably have the same opinion I did it's a mixed bag. The game gets more interesting about halfway through but it gets pretty boring and repetitive for a while. Except for the combat that's the main thing that kept me engaged.
Superstar saga is still king! Brothership has some major performance issues for me and the game takes soo long and there is so much dialogue like they think im new to these games lol.
Seeing a lot of hot takes in the comments and the video….how in the world is BiS not #1!!??! Bowser is AWESOME, CMON!!! The first 3 games are the best, I can actually see their placements being interchangeable, but how in the world anyone sees games 4 and beyond ranked ABOVE 1, 2 and 3 is beyond me…..to each their own I guess
Shoot I absolutely loved both Minions games….i guess for me, #1 and #2 would have to be both 3DS remakes, mostly because of the Minions games. Plus BiS having those harder post game versions of the giant battles was great. BUT even if neither game had been remade Bowsers Inside Story is still #1 while Superstar Saga is #2, the 3DS remakes were really just the Cherry on top lol….Partners in Time is definitely #3 for me, it’s a shame it was never remade for the 3DS, but oh well
17:32 it took me 4 days to beat the game
Is this an international giveaway? Greetings from germany :)
Hello! Yes it is! :D Thanks so much for watching
My rankings
1. SS
2. BIS
3. Brothership
4. PiT
5. Dream Team
6. SS Remake
7. Paper Jam
8. BIS Remake
None of these are really that bad (beside the horror Remake of the BIS, that can burn in hell)
Rating dream team and bis so low is a sin.
Superstar saga is my second fav so no complaints there
I would love to win a copy of brothership!
I‘m kinda bummed that Brothership, despite its unique characters and worlds, is still afraid to feature unique Toads or even allude to a Toad Town in the intro. Since Toadsworth was alive up until Dream Team and came back in the Paper Mario remake, he should’ve been reintroduced here, alongside Toadbert and some other unique Toads, maybe some female or younger ones…
Mario‘s bland era is mostly over, however the Toads are still not free. Even the Mario movie wasn’t allowed to feature unique ones. Free my boys and bring Toad Town back! If it one day returns to how it was in, say, Bowser’s Inside story, I‘m finally gonna be happy with the Mario series again.
Bro put PIT in 2nd 💀💀
@@ocreyy you are right it's really weird. Normally it deserves 1st place
You know it!
@@haris_kekos no, normally is 5th place, just above brothership
@@ocreyy hater alert...
@@haris_kekos you're just either lying to yourself or having not enough knowledge about game design. PIT is quite bad compared to BIS and DIT, that's all 😂 People having other views and opinions doesn't mean hate
Dream team and superstar saga is my favoritt have not got my pree order of brodership jet so i can not sey noting about it :)
Bowsers inside story below brothership?! Its certainly an opinion.
!!

Every one is goated
1. Superstar Saga
2. Bowser's Inside Story
3. Brothership
4. Partners In Time
5. Paper Jam
6. Dream Team
1. Bowsers inside story
2. Dream team
3. Could go either superstar saga or brothership
4. Paper jam
5. I havent played partners in time yet
Even though dream teams tutorials were too long, I still love the game.
Brothership would be higher if they had the original composer imo.
