About Mario and Luigi
Mario and Luigi opened in 2003 with Superstar Saga on Game Boy Advance, pairing the brothers' moves in turn-based battles. AlphaDream's Partners in Time in 2005 and Bowser's Inside Story in 2009 refined the formula, with the latter widely ranked the peak.
Dream Team in 2013 and Paper Jam in 2015 closed AlphaDream's run before its bankruptcy, and Acquire's Brothership arrived in 2024 on Switch. Play all six in release order. Each entry stands alone, but the bros-attack timing skills compound across games.
Good to know
Release order builds the timing skills naturally. The stories never connect beyond the brothers rescuing Peach's world again, so sampling works, but the battle tutorials assume gradual learning. The 3DS remakes of Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story replace the originals cleanly. No next entry has been announced past Brothership.
