This is a turn-based RPG for the Nintendo DS starring Mario and Luigi. It's a direct sequel to their first RPG adventure, sending the brothers back in time to team up with their younger selves. The story is goofy and charming, making it a worthwhile, lighthearted play for fans of the series.
The gameplay is strategic, not reliant on fast reflexes. Its unique mechanic is controlling two pairs of brothers simultaneously, one pair on each DS screen. This dual-screen puzzle solving and combat is the game's big surprise and main challenge. It's a clever, if sometimes awkward, use of the hardware that makes this entry stand out.
