I think it\u2019s fair to say that just about everyone who has ever played a video game has at least tried out Mario & Luigi: Bowser\u2019s Inside Story. After all, it\u2019s one of those games that is simply hard to resist \u2013 even if you don\u2019t particularly enjoy role-playing games (RPG), the promise of being able to play as everyone\u2019s favorite villain-turned-ally, Bowser, is too good to pass up. And indeed, once you start playing you quickly realize that this isn\u2019t your average RPG \u2013 it offers something truly unique and special that no other game can replicate (although its sequels come close). Sure enough, after release the game received critical acclaim across the board; reviews labeled it \u201chilarious yet full of heartwarming charm and immaculate polish\u201d,[2] \u201ca delightful adventure with surprises lurking around every bend in the road map\u201d,[3] and \u201cone of those games where almost everything comes together perfectly without any sacrifice along the way”.[4]
