# Summary
A turn-based RPG will real-time action commands a la [[Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]] and [[Paper Mario - The Thousand-Year Door|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]. The twist is controlling Mario and Luigi at the same time with the A and B buttons to attack, dodge, etc. This is the first entry in a series with more downs than ups, unfortunately.
# Acquisition
Bought at a local game shop with money from Christmas 2020.
# Memories
I have the *faintest* memory of a kid at the end of my street growing up having this game. That was also the kid that said his dad was in charge of GameCube console manufacturing in Indiana and that he could get me a custom GameCube. So take that as you will.
