Top 10 Mario Bros. Role-Playing Games


there’s a lot more to these games than
simply rescuing a princess hmm welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
Mario Brothers role-playing games number
10 Mario and Luigi paper jam Mario and
peeper Mario together at last
I didn’t know they were different people
the most recent game on our list unites
our two favorite RPG series as the
three-dimensional residents of the
Mushroom Kingdom cross paths with their
paper counterparts
the mixture of these two contrasting art
styles amounts to plenty of creative
scenarios and imagery granted it would
have been nice to see more of paper
Mario’s world but this is really a Mario
and Luigi game at its core nevertheless
the stellar combat and humorous
interplay between characters makes this
crossover all too appealing to pass up
number nine
Paper Mario sticker star paper Mario’s
first adventure on a handheld system
sticker star lacks the memorable
supporting characters previous entries
gave us this 3d s title more than
compensates however with the innovative
way stickers are integrated into the
gameplay some stickers aid Mario in
combat while others can be utilized to
solve puzzles the game developers come
up with all sorts of fun uses for thing
stickers such as a vacuum cleaner a can
of soda and a giant fan of course when
you’re made of paper
nothing is deadlier than a pair of
scissors
colorful and imaginative it’s an RPG
that’ll stick with you uh-huh
for some time
number eight Mario and Luigi dream team
Luigi has always lived in his older
brother shadow but he’s truly the unsung
hero of the Mario franchise
although Luigi spends a good deal of
this game in deep slumber
he still steals the entire show the plot
finds Mario travelling between the real
world and the dream world where he
encounters dreamy Luigi dream team is
primarily distinguished thanks to the
special abilities known as Luigi works
which allow the player to interact with
their environment in various inventive
ways if you ever wanted to see a giant
Luigi take on a giant Bowser then this
game will be a dream come true for you
weirdo
number seven Mario and Luigi partners in
time introducing time travel to the
Mario universe is definitely an
interesting idea for years though we
were unfortunately stuck with the
educational Mario’s Time Machine Alfa
dream finally did something inspired
with the premise in this RPG though
which centers on Mario and Luigi teaming
up with their younger selves hmm babies
in addition to its clever puzzles and
combat this game makes impeccable use of
the dss dual screen evolving the
franchise to a new frontier with double
the mario brothers and double the
screens partners in time is naturally
double the fun
number six Super Paper Mario this wii
title maintains pretty much everything
that made the previous Paper Mario games
super while also revisiting the Italian
plumbers platform roots Super Paper
Mario is both an RPG and a side scroller
in which our hero shifts between 2d and
3d perspectives
also accompanying Mario on this journey
is a plucky Princess Peach a brainwashed
Luigi and a reluctant Bowser all of whom
possess their own distinctive abilities
the developers additionally work in a
compelling story which features
unexpected twists a surprisingly
sympathetic villain and even a charming
romance number 5 Mario and Luigi
bowser’s Inside Story
while Bowser is usually depicted as
Mario & Luigi’s greatest nemesis
occasionally he’ll be forced to join
forces with the good guys the Koopa King
makes for an unlikely hero in this RPG
although it doesn’t occur to him that
he’s helping his arch-nemesis after
inhaling the Mario Brothers the three
set out on a whimsical quest to defeat
the Engrish abusing fawful the game
switches between two environments as
Bowser fights in the overworld while
mario and luigi navigate through the
body no matter which character you’re
playing as bowser’s Inside Story is a
constantly humorous and engaging
experience that never feels too
skin-deep
you
number four Mario and Luigi superstar
saga the initial entry in the Mario &
Luigi RPG franchise superstar saga
remains developer alpha dreams finest
outing the game borrows elements from a
couple of other Mario RPGs which you’ll
see later on this list actually at the
same time superstar saga introduced
several original ideas that gave the
game an identity of its own perhaps the
greatest novelty here is the inclusion
of Luigi who the player must
simultaneously control along with Mario
featuring turn-based combat and puzzles
that require two brains to solve each
brother plays a crucial role in one of
the best titles on the Gameboy Advance
number three Paper Mario nobody was sure
what to expect when Paper Mario was
first announced what we gone however was
anything but two-dimensional part of his
RPGs appeal lies in its utterly unique
design which looks like a pop-up book
sprung to life more importantly the
combat system is genuinely enthralling
and the overall gameplay will have you
hooked from start to finish on top of
all that there’s a truly involving story
here with lovable characters waiting
around every corner
Paper Mario is simply a joy to play
leading up to an epic final boss fight
and one of the most charming and credit
sequences you’ll ever see
number two Paper Mario the thousand-year
door Paper Mario was a tough act to
follow but the thousand-year door
somehow managed to improve upon its
predecessor in virtually every way
Mario’s a storybook world’s looked
sharper than ever but it’s not just the
graphics that have been upgraded the
story is gripping the comedy is
endlessly witty and even the drama hits
the player hard on an emotional level
admit it Tec the computer actually got
you choked up too right what’s more this
is among the best ensemble pieces in any
Mario RPG with every party member
completely wetting you over in short the
thousand-year door soars like a paper
airplane
