75% of the game is enough to know what's going on (at least, in Superstar Saga). The rest is the standard make-your-way-through-the-final-boss's-castle-with-a-multitude-of-mini-bosses-until-you-reach-the-final-epic-battle-and-complete-whatever-objective-it-was-that-you-set-out-to-do-in-the-first-place.

So here is a story about me playing M&L Partners in Time:

I was playing the English version of the game, because I havent played it in forever. Then i thought: "Hay, if I have CycloDS (A homebrew card for the NDS) I can just get the Japanese version of the game and maybe see new things" So I put it on meh card and played it in Japanese.

Let me tell you, nothing different really. What kind of made me surprised is this:

1. Some of the characters who actually have a voice actually speak the same as in the English version. Meaning, Baby Bowser says "Oh no!" in the Japanese one, the same thing in English.

2. I tried a couple of glitches (mainly battle skip and "Baby Shine Forever") and they didnt seem to work. Although it could of been me, so I wouldnt jump the trigger yet.

All I found for now.

In other news, 1st post has been updated with the American Release (Take it with a grain of salt, because it COULD be a joke (The date is April 1st, most commonly, and mostly known as April Fools Day.)

Also, IGN posted a article about the M&L RPG 3 Battlesystem. I put it in the first post.

I should rip that to my R4DS. I've got the original one in my GBA loader.

Hello all, I bring this thread back from the dead to bring News and SPOILERS.

The news is I completed the game (What a awesome game.) It was a bit hard for me to read and understand what to do (due to having no idea of the japanese language)

The game was fun, and tried to bring back the good old SNES version (Super Mario RPG: The Legend of Seven Stars) minigames, however they are aggravating as hell >:P

To clear things up:

There are no shroobs. Only Fawful.

Now, onto the spoilers: (WARNING: EPIC AMOUNT OF SPOILERS IN THIS ONE, HAS EVERYTHING FROM THE GAME. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THE GAME WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING, DONT READ THIS. IF YOU DONT, THEN READ IT. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IT BUT DONT CARE ABOUT THE SPOILER...well...I dont care :P)

The beginning of the story has the meeting with Princess Peach's council, and herself. A bomb-omb like figure (smaller) comes up and presents him/herself as "Chippy". He/She joins the meeting. The Mario Brothers come to the castle after getting a call from Toadswerth. As they reach the meeting hall, they have a small talk. Luigi, during the meeting, falls asleep.

Bowser comes in, wanting the princess...again. Mario gets the Princess and Toadswerth to safety, and proceeds to fight Bowser. This fight is a tutorial lesson.

After the fight, Peach uses her "levatiating powers" to fling Bowser out of the castle. Bowser wakes up in a forest with his Magekoopa, and ventures out deeper into the forest.

Upon reaching a small shop not that far away from where he landed, he heard a laugh coming from the shop's direction. He gets this mushroom, called the "Lucky Mushroom" and eats it. He then gets the ability to inhale everything. In the process, the shopkeeper, aka Fawful, takes control of his mind.

Bowser, controlled by Fawful, proceeds to inhale everyone inside Peach's Castle. The Mario Brothers then have to find the council and Peach, while being in Bowser Stomach for practically 2/3's of the game.

While in Bowsers body, you play as Bowser and the Brothers. Bowser has no idea he had inhaled everyone in the castle. Moving on.

In Bowsers body, at certain times of the game, you will have to complete a "minigame" which composes of from pumping Bowsers muscles, to make him sneeze, and etc.

The objective from inside Bowsers body (As told later on in the story) is to get the "3 Star Orbs" (Unable to correctly name the Orbs, just calling them that.) because Fawful has taken the "Ztar Orb" (Again, cant read Japanese) and has put "Ztar Doors" blocking Peach's Castle entrance.

Once you get all 3 Orbs, you get a Star which removes the Ztar Doors. You proceed to have a fight the Ztar Orb itself, after it eats 3 genes of Bowsers DNA. It eats his strength, his Firebreathing ability, and his spiked shell. You fight and defeat the orb, but the Ztar spirit is reborn, as Bowsers Spirit. You then fight againest Fawful, in a "Ztar Form". You defeat him, and he gets turned into a Black ball. However, he is still alive. The Ztar Spirit inhales Fawful, and turns into a real person!

The Ztar Bowser (Some people call him Shadow Bowser) goes on top of Peach's Castle, begins to spread the Ztar influence and inhale everything too. Bowser fights him with the most epic song for the M&L Series. He defeats him and Fawful, and destroys the Ztar Spirit with the help of the Mario Brothers.

The ending comes up after Fawful blows up, and everyone gets thrown out of Bowsers body. Bowser is furious to find out the Mario brothers were in his body doing all the stuff inside him. He fights Mario and Luigi, and...

Its over. The last bit shows Bowser getting a present from Peach, and him opening the Present. What was inside was a cake. It has Peach, Mario, Luigi, and a Bowser face.

And thats all there is to tell you.

Also, if you going to comment the spoiler, put your response in a spoiler too.

Edit: This is the Final Boss theme I uploaded, it was only a minute and 25 seconds long, so I extended it. Here is the youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsVUeGqCC9o

I couldnt use the [youtube] tags for some reason.
