+'''''Mario & Luigi''''', known in Japan as '''''Mario & Luigi RPG''''' (マリオ＆ルイージRPG ''Mario ando Ruīji Aru Pī Jī''), is a series of {{wp|role-playing video game}}s developed by [[AlphaDream]] for [[Nintendo]]'s handheld platforms since 2003. The series features games with long, detailed stories full of battles featuring [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] as the titular characters.

Compared to other RPGs, the tone of the ''Mario & Luigi'' games is generally more whimsical and lighthearted, with various in-game jokes and comical references to the heritage of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].
 The ''Mario & Luigi'' series consists of five installments and two remakes: ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Superstar Saga]]'' ([[Game Boy Advance|GBA]], 2003), ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Partners in Time]]'' ([[Nintendo DS|DS]], 2005), ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|Bowser's Inside Story]]'' (DS, 2009), ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|Dream Team]]'' ([[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]], 2013), ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam|Paper Jam]]'' (3DS, 2015), ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' (3DS, 2017), and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' (3DS, 2018).
 ==Gameplay==
 [[File:MLPiT Gritzy Desert screenshot.png|thumb|Mario and Luigi in [[Gritzy Desert]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''.]]
 The gameplay of ''Mario & Luigi'' differs from most other role-playing games due to its focus on controlling [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] simultaneously. During overworld sections, the directional pad controls Mario's movement with Luigi following closely, while Mario and Luigi's other actions are controlled individually with either of two lettered buttons: A for Mario, and B for Luigi. The game begins with them being able to jump independently, though they gain access to [[hammer]]s and a variety of other techniques as the game progresses. For example, in ''Superstar Saga'', Luigi's hammer can be used to squash Mario into [[Mini-Mario|a smaller size]], allowing access to small gaps, while placing Mario on Luigi's shoulders allows them to [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|act like a propeller]] and hover across large gaps. Various enemies roam the overworld, and coming into contact with these enemies initiates a battle. Landing a hit on the enemy while on the overworld allows the player to [[First Strike|deal preemptive damage]], while the opposite is also possible.
-Battles in these games are turn-based. Mario and Luigi can attack normally either by [[jump]]ing, which can deal multiple hits, though when used against enemies covered in flames or with spikes, Mario or Luigi will get hurt instead of the enemy; or with the hammer, which is powerful, but ineffective against flying enemies. Similar to other ''Mario'' RPG titles (''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series), players can time button presses to make their attacks more effective, such as earning an extra jump attack or increasing the hammer's power. Introduced in this series is the way in which Mario and Luigi can defend themselves during an enemy's attack. When an enemy attacks, the brothers will be able to either jump or use their hammer which, when successfully timed, allows them to dodge their attacks and even deal counter damage (for example: if they jump on top of a charging [[Goomba]]). Throughout the game, players can unlock [[Bros. Attack]]s, which use [[Bros. Point]]s (BP) requiring players to cooperate between Mario and Luigi's actions to perform powerful combination attacks. Players can also use items such as the [[Super Mushroom]] for healing, [[pepper]]s for boosting stats, and [[1-Up Mushroom]]s for reviving fallen Bros. Defeating enemies earns experience points which help the Bros. level up and increase their stats, with players given the option to further increase the stats of one attribute every time they level up. Players can further improve their stats by equipping new gear to the Bros., or making them wear badges that give them special attributes.

Players can further improve their stats by equipping new gear to the Bros., or making them wear badges that give them special attributes.
 In ''Bowser's Inside Story'', [[Bowser]] becomes a playable character who is controlled on the top screen. The world inside Bowser's body, which is played with Mario and Luigi, is presented in a 2D side-scrolling style. The brothers sometimes must directly interact with Bowser in order for the player to progress, and have opportunities to visit the overworld via [[Warp Pipe]]s as the plot advances. In battle, Bowser plays similarly to Mario and Luigi, but specializes in punching and breathing fire. He can inhale to suck up defenses and enemies from the top screen, similar to [[Kirby]], a character from another Nintendo franchise. Any enemies inhaled will enter his body, where Mario and Luigi will fight them instead. Bowser earns new abilities by rescuing his caged minions, or by finding living kitten-like blocks called [[Blitty|Blitties]]. Further, the Mario Bros. play various [[minigame]]s where they help out Bowser from inside his body in order to progress: for example, the [[Arm Center]], where the brothers hit spark-like items into a muscle to strengthen Bowser's arms; the [[Leg Outpost]], where they stomp on leg muscles to strengthen Bowser's legs; and the [[Gut Check (location)|Gut Check]], where they help digest food that Bowser eats. One location, the [[Rump Command]], has the player accumulate adrenaline in order to supersize Bowser if he is crushed, leading to a new battle system in which the DS is held vertically like a book and all attacks require the stylus and microphone.

While Mario and Luigi are still playable, [[Bowser]] also becomes a central protagonist in this game as he attempts to reclaim both the Mushroom and Koopa Kingdoms from Fawful, who used an outbreak of a disease known as the [[Blorbs]] as an opportunity to launch his own evil plot for world domination. Fawful later gives Bowser a [[Vacuum Shroom|Vacuum Mushroom]], making Bowser inhale everything around him, including Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and other characters.

 |Announced during a ''Nintendo Treehouse Live'' webcast at E3 2017, this remake of ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' was released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] later in 2017. It features revamped and updated graphics akin to ''Dream Team'' and ''Paper Jam'' (including the use of additional lighting effects), as well as re-scored music. A previously untold storyline also exists in a new mode called ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', where players control members of Bowser's army in efforts to reunite and rally his troops and find Bowser, in an adventure relying on new mechanics, with [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] leading the cause. The game features [[amiibo]] functionality, tied to figurines of three enemies of the Mario Bros.: Goomba, [[Boo]], and [[Koopa Troopa]].

 ==Similarities between games==
 Despite having different storylines and gameplay, the ''Mario & Luigi'' games contain many recurring elements. Some similarities continued for the first three games; others for the first four; and many similarities persist through all five entries (excluding remakes, which contain the same similarities as the games they are based on).
 ===First three games===
 *The playable characters shout "Nintendo!" after the game is launched, as the Nintendo logo appears. In ''Superstar Saga'', only Mario and Luigi do this, but in ''Partners in Time'' there is a chance that Baby Mario and Baby Luigi do so instead any time the game is launched. This selection also applies to Bowser in ''Bowser's Inside Story''.

 **As [[Rookie]], he develops his own Bros. Attacks with Popple in ''Superstar Saga'';
 **He partners up with his younger self while traveling to the past in ''Partners in Time'';
-**Dark Fawful assists Dark Bowser from inside his body, similar to how Mario and Luigi help Bowser from inside his body, in ''Bowser's Inside Story'';
+**In ''Bowser's Inside Story'', he is a playable character with his own set of [[Command Blocks]]. He has an equivalent to Bros. Attacks in the form of Brawl Attacks, which he also uses when Mario and Luigi battle him in [[Toadley Clinic]];
 **Bowser is powered up by a [[Antasma|dream entity]] in the dream world like Mario, and unleashes his power through his dreams like Luigi, in ''Dream Team'';
 **He teams up with his paper self and obtains his own [[Trio Attack Hammer]] in ''Paper Jam''.
 *The tutorial themes are all remixes of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' overworld theme.
-*Unique variants of common ''Mario'' enemies appear : ''Superstar Saga'' has bean-related enemies, ''Partners in Time'' has [[Shroob]]-like enemies, ''Bowser's Inside Story'' has Fawful-themed, body-themed and [[Dark Star]]-themed enemies, ''Dream Team'' has Antasma-themed and dream-themed enemies, and ''Paper Jam'' has paper versions of enemies.

 *When enemies are defeated, they disappear either by fading away or in a small explosion; when bosses, or defeated, they disappear in a large explosion.
 *A [[Wiggler]] variant appears as a boss battle. While ''Partners in Time'' does not have any traditional Wigglers, there is a Shroob-like Wiggler called [[Swiggler]].

 *In games after ''Superstar Saga'', Mario and Luigi have a partner can store their items, give tutorials, and speak in Mario and Luigi's stead: Stuffwell in ''Partners in Time'' and Starlow in all future games.
 *The first three games and ''Paper Jam'' have Mario and Luigi saying "Let's-a-go!" and "Okey-dokey!" respectively when transitioning into a battle.
-*The third, fourth and fifth games all have two different normal battle themes: the Mario Bros. and Bowser's battle themes in ''Bowser's Inside Story'', the real world and dream world battle themes in ''Dream Team'', and a battle theme for the Mario Bros. with and without Paper Mario in ''Paper Jam''.
