Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time is a role playing video game developed by AlphaDream for the Nintendo DS system. It is the sequel to Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and the fifth game in the Mario RPG series. Its graphics and general style greatly resemble those of its predecessor.

Plot

Template:Spoiler In the introductory sequence, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi are on their way to a playdate with Baby Peach when they come upon Baby Bowser trying to kidnap the princess. However, after defeating the future Koopa King (who refers himself as Prince at this point of time) the castle becomes beseiged by UFOs.

Back in the present, news is spread that E. Gadd has invented a time machine, and Princess Peach is using it to visit the past. But when the time machine returns, it is occupied not by the princess, but an alien creature. Thankfully, the Mario Brothers were around to defeat the alien. After beating the alien, the brothers come upon a time hole, a rift in the time/space continuum connecting the present with the past. Both brothers end up in the past, where they meet up with more of the alien forces, and later, their younger selves.

As Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time is the sequel to Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, its battle system is similar to its prequel. However, instead of Bros. Attacks which require Bros. Points, there are new Bros. Items.

Characters

The only four playable characters in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time are the red-hatted plumber himself, his brother, and their younger selves, but other characters play major roles in the plot.
