Hello, game fanatics. Here's another Through the Years post but on the topic of the Mario and Luigi Saga. I need to make a quick note that new blog posts will come out on Monday (only reason this one came out on Tuesday was because my internet was down.) I will try to keep the posts coming but I will start to get super busy because of school. Back to today's post:
The first game was different from many Mario games played before which is probably why it caught so much attention. Though it can have some similarity to Paper Mario (which came out before this). The characters were especially on the creative side. Seriously, what made Nintendo think of Beans for people and monsters? And what about that guy telling jokes to a barrel of Chuckola Cola? But anyways, the beginning of the story tells about The Goodwill Ambassador from the Bean Kingdom giving a present from Queen Bean to Princess Peach. The entire ceremony was a hoax and turns out The Goodwill Ambassador and her assistant was the evil, Cakletta and Fawful trying to steal Peach's voice to awaken the Beanstar. Now onto the main bosses:
Fawful, who is some genius bean who's famous for his "I HAVE FURY!" comment. He shows up a lot throughout the game, but meets his demise in Bowser's Castle.
And Cackletta, the final boss. I'm not gonna lie, but I always thought she was a guy despite the name.. She shows up as a boss in the Hooniversity, goes inside Bowser and takes over his body, and once you get inhaled into Bowletta you fight her spirit.
Popple and Bowser are another reoccurring boss. Bowser ends up losing his memory and teaming up with Popple.
Off from the Bean people and onto Mushroom Aliens. Same style, but slightly changed story line with the same objective of saving the Mushroom Kingdom. Shroobs come to invade the Mushroom Kingdom in the past but Mario and Luigi, from the future, go to the past to fix it and end up meeting their baby selves and teaming up with them.
The one who started this invasion was Princess Shroob. Maybe she got tired of Princess Peach looking similar to her. But she was only the beginning boss.
Her sister, Elder Princess Shroob, was the one to worry about. Once defeated, she back but using Bowser's body as a host.
Oh no! An epidemic has happened to the Mushroom Kingdom: Blorbs! Who could be the cause of this? The one and only Fawful. Fawful sells Blorb Mushrooms to the Toads and coaxes Bowser into eating a Vacuum Mushroom, which allows Bowser to inhale everything. Fawful sends Bowser back to Peach's meeting about the Blorbs and he inhales everyone.
Fawful's plan from the start was to awaken the Dark Star and take over the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser only goes on this journey to take back his castle from Fawful, but having to use Mario and Luigi to help keep his insides clean. The Dark Star eventually enters Bowser's body as well and steals his DNA. Through that the Dark Star takes the form of Bowser.
Fawful, or Dark Fawful, gets absorbed by the Dark Star and Bowser must inhale him so Mario and Luigi can fight him in the final battle.
The new Mario & Luigi game coming out on August 11, 2013. I personally like the play the game before I start spilling out some made up story line. But I will for sure talk about this game when I obtain it.
What are your thoughts on the Mario & Luigi Saga? - Dany
