Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story | Journey to the Center of A Turtle 

I love how Bowser is a one-dimensional character when playing the villain, but one of the most complex characters when he plays the hero.

Reggie: "Bowser really does suck." Bowser: *Takes Reggie's job*

when luigi said "potonotunitanatonanasanatomakananairvanasanananasananenevapatanikiniti" i felt that.

Luigi’s Overalls being slightly too short that his socks show was such a cool quirk, it was almost like he just got hand-me-downs from Mario

This game opens up with a Toad admitting he left school early and then his mother immediately tells him that dinner is ready despite the fact that he’s not supposed to be home yet and that has always bothered me

Bowser: *defeats the literal manifestation of darkness Two plumbers: *”get a load of this guy”*

Bowser's Inside Story is kind of the game that taught me how to read. No, seriously! I remember getting it when I was, like, six- and not being able to read it, my dad had to sit by me to read it for me. But I had to wait for him- He wasn't always available because he works during the week. But Bowser's Inside Story was just too good! I wanted to play it *now!* So I remember tugging on my mom's shirt, nearly begging her "Moooom! How do I read?!" So she taught me while I played. And I remember reading Dark Bowser's speech at the end perfectly to my dad because I thought it was so cool. I mean, I _probably_ would have learned how to read eventually, with or without Bowser's Inside Story... But still. I'll never forget this game.

​not a plotpoint in partners in time; that was bowser and his past self, not bowser and jr

I love how bowser is physically stronger, and that's a fact. You can actually see Mario and Luigi start at 6 damage per jump, and bowser starts at 70 damage in an excellent punch. I cant get over how they just gave us bowser, didn't nerf him, and made us actually feel like were playing him instead of an unlockable version of him.

This is how i imagine this game got made: Developer 1: "Hey, how about we put Bowser in Mario&Luigi?" Developer 2:"How about we put Mario&Luigi in Bowser?" Developer 1: "..." Developer 1: " *GENIUS!* "

"On October 1, 2019, AlphaDream declared bankruptcy, citing sluggish revenues and high development costs, and being unable to keep up with growing debt" - Wikipedia Saddest news ever.

Fun fact : "Journey to the Center of a Turtle" is actually pretty close to the french name of the game, which is literally called "Journey to the Center of Bowser"

I love that so many of bowser's attacks are ALL IN. He just wallops anything in his path at full force

It's REALLY tragic how AlphaDream went bankrupt... ... but at the same time, they chose to release an Inside Story remake when one, you could already play BiS on the 3DS, and two, the 3DS was dying at the time

3:35 - And Peach, who has an unecessary power that won't ever come out again in the series or contribute to anything in the plot for the entirety of this adventure.

Yo don't you undermine Bowser finally getting his own Cake at the ending: that's a fuckin' tearjerker ending when you think of all the years Bowser has LOST. Also as an artist I can explain why Bowser in the remake looks godawful compared to the original game: - First and foremost, during battle, he's standing perfectly straight facing to the side, as opposed to an angled view to look at them beautiful features - The color of his mussel is more of a fleshy tan as opposed to a matching yellow tint of his stomach. It's also a bit smaller, which make his teeth look sharper and scarier - His head and limbs are lazily animated, to the point where his head almost never turns, and his arms flail awkwardly while walking in battle - His eyes are not NEARLY as expressive and are always angry. Multiple animation pros have said "it's all in the eyes" so this is a big deal I studied this fucker hard solely because of how GOOD he looked in the original. I don't think any Bowser in any video game game past, present or future will ever look so perfect. Same way I feel about Yoshi in Mario Party 2. 4K HD don't matter with them lovable polygons.

Luigi: *eat him I'm 95% bone* Mario: *yeah eat him I'm 95% fat* Bowser: _good point_

I think the scariest thing about Alpha dream going bankrupt and Nintendo still owning the franchise is the fact that if a sequel ever comes, we will not only never be able to see those three original looking minions from Bomser, but neither any original looking character ever, look at what they said in that interview about The Origami King!

I love this game, but I wouldn't be lying if I thought the title of the game made me think Bowser was writing a personal biography of his life.

24:00 To be fair... That was the relationship between Bowser and his YOUNGER SELF not Bowser Jr.

"Bowser, that long time bad guy, really does suck, and I mean that in a good way" fits so perfectly with "My body is ready".

Luigi’s socks are his most defining characteristic in my opinion. How could they do him like that...

I can just imagine someone at Nintendo with a very serious face: "You know what? No socks."

Honestly the Dark Star and fawful are my favorite Mario antagonist in the entire franchise because they both play off each other so well Dark Star is an ancient evil made to take seriously he's a threat through and through and he just screams intimidation whenever you see him which makes him a great contrast to fawful who was Goofy and pretty comedic throughout the game but can also be terrifying just as well and they both play off each other so well because of it

Reggie: *”Bowser really does suck” Bowser working at Nintendo: *cries in background**

"Bowser really does suck" - Reggie

my personal favorite parts of the video: "uh oh now bowser got fat" 4:58 "Luigi gets fat" 10:58 "while outside bowser gets to deal with-" 5:28 "bowser gets big" 12:51 bowsers oh no part 1 5:51 bowsers oh no part 2 21:56

*"Bowser Really Does Suck."* -Reggie

Fun fact: the Italian and Spanish titles of the game can be translated to "Mario & Luigi: journey to the center of Bowser"

I loved replaying this game as a kid. And I still do to this day. The story, the comedy, and the music, oh god the music is such a banger.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Weird Ass Fetish

Just mention “the carrot” and you can relate to anyone who played this game

The original is unironically my favourite game of all time, I love it to death!

Something interesting about the remake is that some of the endgame fights have different music with them. Dark Star got it's own unique theme, and when you fight Fawful as Bowser it's a slowed down version of Cackletta's Theme which is a really nice touch!

The change to the cover art is likely to keep the brothers more “on-model” I hate that Nintendo refuses any changes at all be made to Mario.

_When bowser gets the kirby ability_

AntDude: Lots of Memorable Moments With these giant battles. *Laughs in Fawful Express*

3:03 Are we gonna ignore the fact that they are spittin straight up facts???

Superstar saga: beans Partners in time: babies Browsers inside story: S U C C

Alpha Dream makes every character thicc Deviant art: Everybody take notes!

Bowser's Inside Story stands today as my favorite game of all time. When I was a young laddy with my DS, this game taught me what video games could really be, and that's before I knew about how it was essentially a finale to the Fawful saga, and a perfect one at that. I've beaten it so many times dude, it's just perfection, and the title theme never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Hell, a tear was shed as I'm typing this because it brought back the memories of a simpler time.

15:15 I should've known Yoko Shimomura made the soundtrack. This game's soundtrack along with the Kingdom Hearts series' soundtracks are definitely some of her best music.

I still can’t believe Reggie would talk about his successor like that. I think Doug is doing a great job.

“Raise your hand if you forgot the DS had an official Rumble Pak.” Me, who never knew it had one in the first place: Uhhhhhh

This video can basically just be summed up with "Sometimes foreshadowing is relatively obvious."

What bothers me the most, is that they replaced all the unique Toad-designs with generic ones. Even the females look like the regular Toads now.

Me: *looks at thumbnail* Also Me: Kiss him. Kiss bowser, he is right there.

This was literally my childhood. I'd play it all the time before swimming lessons

“Pig equivalent of Bowser” isn’t that just Ganon?

The Thumb Nail. Luigi: Eat this Guy, He’s Delicious.

It’s actually interesting to know that Mario and Luigi are the grown up versions of the babies from Partners in Time when you find the Shroobs meaning we’re continuing the Mario and Luigi Series from their perspective of things.

I think if Bowser's Inside Story was remade for switch, it would've sold super well.

I wonder how Doug Bowser got his position as CEO. Reggie: "Bowser really does suck." Ooooooooh... *Ooooooooooooooooooh...*

When they were making Partners in time, before the console was even announced I think, they didn't know about there being touchscreen controls. Info on the DS was being kept secret, so they knew they could use 2 screens, but not a touchscreen until very late in development.

"So, how do we start this game that essentially revolves around vore? We don't want to make it too weird so--" "TOAD INFLATION"

This game is actually kind of replayable in my eyes. I started playing this game again recently and mind you when I first played this it was when it first came out for DS. Playing it again I forgot a lot of the quirky fun moments in the game as well as the amazing fight near the end. I got to re-live learning about this game and I'm happy I did.

9:37 who else made the “bonk!” sounds when he swung their hammers because the song for it was playing in the background?

The bowser vore game with toad inflation and luigi fat

Who draws your thumbnails? They are so charming and fit your personality really well Also, your shirt is really nice

Random Toad: *rolls into a wall* This is America

Mayo and Lougee: Bowser’s Vore Game is the best Mario RPG. So many memories

I would have raised my hand for forgetting the rumble pack, but I didn't know about it in the first place! There was nothing to forget! HAHAHAHHA!

I have so much nostalgia for this game, I remember when I first played it, and when I revisited it and finally beat that GODAMN CARROT MINIGAME

“I’m gonna miss that man” Me too *sigh* me too...

I'm stoked for a dream team review. It has to be my favorite for just giving us so much info on Luigi and it's great.

"Naturally Starlow's better" dude...remember that for Dream Team.

Me: Let me practice my Luigi impression Luigi: **Speaks** Me: ...Yes

I remember playing this game throughout my childhood. It was one of the first video games I owned personally. I hit many roadblocks in the game and restarted it a couple of times but I finished it eventually. I sadly had to get the 3DS remaster as my DS cartridge was getting old and doing weird stuff to my 3DS. I hope Nintendo makes another Mario and Luigi game eventually...

I'm still mad they removed that SHOWTIME from the remake in most battles. That sound byte was incredible.

5:00 I just realized all the fetish fuel that’s in this game.... But. I’m not gonna let that ruin it for me.

I hope he knows stuffwell did get to be on the box art they just took him off. He was supposed to be under baby Bowser, he was also dropping items and gear. Clumbsy dude.

Can’t wait for him to talk about Dream Team, that one was my favorite

Antdude: I want my own clump of Goombas. Waddle Dee clumps from Star Allies: Am I a joke to you?

This is my favorite game of all time. One of the first games i’ve ever played and introduced me to a franchise that would change my life. So greatful for this great game, and watching this video makes me cry tears of happiness and nostalgia

Antdude: *Mario & Luigi Bowser’s Inside story review* Everyone in the chat: GEX NIGHT

“It makes any toad infected super THICC” I already love this review

I personally thought they opted for the 3DS instead of Switch because of the limitations of no microphone and no touch-screen when docked, like a gyro-cursor would not work well for this game

"Toad got PHET." Toad got THICC! What you talkin' about, Ant?

Ah yes, the game where the villain's plan is to distract the heroes long enough with forced vore.

This is how many times he said "Bowser's..... OH NO" \/

I thought you were gonna make at least 1 Kirby joke when you said the “Bowser really does suck” line

It’s funny how both Mario RPG franchises peaked at the third entry

“Raise your hand if you forgot the DS had an official rumble pack” Me: I didn’t even know it EXISTED

"Now I know what a meatball feels" -quote from Mario in "Mama Luigi"

4:59 This game definitely "awakened" things inside some of its players.

Ah Nostalgia, I loved this game an still do

Wait, this was already available a bit ago? The early ants get the worm, I guess.

“This is kind of the Perfect Mario RPG” ZOMG FINALLY someone said it, I am so sick of hearing about TTYD.

No one: AntDude: Toad got fat! #BringBackLuigiSock

AntMan: "AntMan." AntDude: "AntMan, but better."

Doug: **takes Reggie's job** Reggie: Bowser really does suck.

I was hoping that Bowser Jr's Journey would reveal that Fawful was somehow still alive at the end. Sadly, 'twas not to be... ):

They would’ve been better off making a remake of Partners in Time for the 3DS where they could’ve improved upon the usage of the touch screen and added the option to get to the places quicker from Toad Town. Saving Bowser’s Inside Story for the Switch would’ve saved the company. Not by a lot, just to keep them on hold for a few years for them to come back in 2026.

23:55 Just to be clear, baby bowser and bowser jr are different characters

14:47 “I cant believe someone said, ‘We should put mario and luigi inside of Bowser” I’m pretty sure people thought of doing that even before this game, just saying.

I wish Bowser Jr’s Journey didn’t have the same gameplay that Minion Quest had, because the story is really good, and if it had better gameplay, I might be bothered to actually finish it.

Me realizing Luigi post his socks: Look how they massacred my boy.

I'm just commenting here because I got to watch this before it got privated. Edit: So to give an actual comment. I haven't played a M&L game before, but given the option between these two versions of Bowser's Inside Story, the clip at 21:50 definitely would've cemented the original DS version being my choice because OOF that doesn't look good for the 3DS one.

I never got the Bowser's Inside Story remake, and a part of me still wants to, just because it still looks like a solid time. But I can't deny it seriously lacks the charm of the original. I've been replaying the games this year (outside Partners in Time, since I wasn't feeling like it, honestly) and the original still holds up fantastic. The only issue I had with Inside Story on my playthrough this year was the timing for the battles just felt off compared to Dream Team and Paper Jam, which is a fault of mine entirely, but I just never could get back into the groove of the attacks completely. Like, anyone will say AlphaDream's bankruptcy wasn't a complete shock given the choices they made in their final years, but it still sucks because say what you will about some of the later games (namely the last three 3DS titles) but they always managed to turn out fun games, even if they weren't truly revolutionary, which was a welcome breath of fresh air compared to the former sibling RPG Paper Mario being unable to stop experimenting in ways that baffled fans. And now we have no Mario RPGs and I'm sad.

After pikmin 3 deluxe, i can predict the new release for the switch: super mario odyssey deluxe with 1 new power moon
