About Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is a role-playing adventure released for the Nintendo DS on February 11, 2009. It is the third entry in the Mario & Luigi series, which sits within the wider Super Mario franchise. Developed by AlphaDream and published by Nintendo, it is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and PEGI 3.

The game lets you control Mario and Luigi at the same time as they move through a side-view platforming setting inside Bowser's body. Scenes in the Mushroom Kingdom are shown from a bird's-eye, isometric perspective, and you can also take control of Bowser himself in that overworld. The game is played in single player mode.

Its tone is fantasy and comedy with a strong action element. Enemies are visible on the map, so you can try to avoid them or strike first. Battles mix turn-based menu commands with timed reactions, and watching how an enemy moves can help you dodge its attack or counter it.
