Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story for Nintendo DS/DSi

After a complete withdrawal from playing my Nintendo DS, I finally was able to locate and buy a new charger for it. Watch me find my old one, just when I am not looking for it. Always happens that way.

Cold weather has struck in our neighborhood and what is the better way to get cozy, than to cuddle up with a blanket and my Nintendo DSi? I have to say that two of my ultimate favorite characters are the classic Mario & Luigi. Who doesn’t love these guys? I had the chance to play a new game that came out and not only is this fun, but it is so cute and funny!

Mario & Luigi Show Their Intestinal Fortitude
In his evil plot to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, Fawful tricks Bowser™ into eating a magic mushroom. The mushroom causes Bowser to begin inhaling everything around him, including Mario™, Luigi™ and Princess Peach™! Do the Mario Bros. have the guts to rescue Peach and escape?

FEATURES:

• Players are in control of two separate storylines. One features Bowser and his efforts to stop an arch-villain from taking over his castle. Meanwhile, inside Bowser, the microbe-sized Mario & Luigi must muscle their way through challenges and keep their nerve if they want to find a way out. They take action to control Bowser from the inside – but without his knowledge.
• Players can switch between storylines at will. What happens inside Bowser affects what he’s doing on the outside. Sometimes Mario & Luigi must solve puzzles and challenges behind the scenes to help Bowser overcome various obstacles and advance the plot.
• Players must make well-timed button presses to enhance their performance during battles and challenges. In some battles, Bowser grows so large that players must turn their Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi™ system sideways, blow into the microphone or tap on the touch screen with the stylus to keep up with the action.
• The game features the same hilarious dialogue that has been the hallmark of the Mario & Luigi series.

I have played this game at home. I have played this game on the go in the car and I have played this game while traveling to conferences. Seriously fun! Seriously cute!

When I first started playing, I will have to say that there were a lot of intro screens with talking & wording. I was ready to play, but the beginning story seemed a bit long. I did like how the intro told you about the story, but if kids are going to be playing this, some of the words are longer than a game should have. I didn’t even know what some of the words were. The overall game is fun, after all, who can deny the love for Mario & Luigi? I really did like the overall game, story and characters and do see us playing this over and over again.
