Mario e Luigi: Partners in Time is an RPG for the Nintendo DS, a system that I am continually glad I purchased. The game follows Mario, Luigi and their baby counterparts in a quest to save the Princess from aliens from the past that have kidnapped her. For those of you who have played Mario RPG or the Paper Marios, you'll find surprisingly similar game play with a few new twists. The adult brothers and baby brothers can act either independently or cooperatively for a unique gaming experience from the Mario RPGs. Add some spruced up dialogue with some interesting humor and nicely animated sprites, and you have Mario e Luigi: Partners in Time.

Now, for those of you who are fans of the stylus, you won't be too fond of this game. The touch-screen is virtually non-existent in this game, which handles more like a standard console game. Additionally, the puzzles will likely never stump you. A game focused more towards a younger audience, most of the puzzles are fairly straightforward and easy, relying more on an intuitive combat system to keep the game difficult. The game is also only capable of holding two saved games at a time. Not a problem if you're the only one who plays, but don't expect to be able to share it with many friends. Overall, the game is an interesting and enjoyable addition to the Mario RPGs, which is hard to put down.

I give Mario e Luigi: Partners in Time, an 8.7 out of 10.
