RELATED: Ikenfell Shows How Thousand-Year Door Sequel Could InnovateĪfter years of Nintendo fans advocating for Geno to appear in Super Smash Bros. In the original GBA version, the stage-like production of this arcade game includes popular Super Mario RPG doll-warrior Geno to read instructions, paying homage to the game that helped pioneer the Mario & Luigi series' action-command battle system. Once she's safe, the brothers have an opportunity to peruse this community of immigrant Toads, and story progression comes through winning an "Invincishroom" at the local arcade by getting a high score in Star 'Stache Smash. When the real Princess Peach arrives in the Beanbean Kingdom, Mario and Luigi must escort her through Teehee Valley to reach Little Fungitown's embassy deep in the heart of the desert. Hearing the Princess' voice causes the Beanstar to go berserk, however, as it is soon revealed that Peach was originally swapped out with Birdo in anticipation of Cackletta's attack. High jinks ensue as the brothers attempt to fix the discord left in Cackletta's wake, but about halfway through the adventure her plan almost succeeds. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga brings the titular duo to one of the Mushroom Kingdom's neighboring states, the Beanbean Kingdom, after Princess Peach's voice is stolen by an evil witch named Cackletta so that she can awaken the wish-granting Beanstar. RELATED: Kirby Should Attempt Another Metroidvania-Style Game Like Amazing Mirror Geno Makes a Cameo in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga This could point to a good working relationship with Square Enix that means its 1996 SNES title has a chance of hitting Nintendo Switch Online too. One reason fans might be excited to play the original GBA version over its 3DS remake from 2017 is that it includes a reference to Super Mario RPG. However, Superstar Saga is a particularly unique offering in that it preserves the first entry in a fan-favorite series by now-defunct studio AlphaDream. There's only a slim roster of six GBA titles available at launch, but classics like Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Metroid Fusion, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, and Golden Sun are planned for sometime in the near future. Both Game Boy and Game Boy Advance (GBA) libraries were also added to Nintendo Switch Online the day of the Direct, with GBA titles like The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga available to anyone who holds an Expansion Pack-tier subscription. For example, Metroid Prime Remastered became available the day it was announced, validating years of rumors about a Prime remake in development (though some were hoping for the entire trilogy).
