Yeah, the artwork in the first game was pretty bad, compared to either Paper Mario title... that's my biggest problem with it. So how does it look this time?
This actually seems to be the same art style, only better realized. Mario and Luigi was great except that it was way too blocky. Most people like it anyway.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
Is that Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi attacking as a team? Time paradox!
I hope this game can keep the same level of humor seen in the last M&L and Paper Mario. Also, I want the return of the Italian gibberish! A doodie potato!
Anyway, what is up with that anyway? I mean, I know Mario doesn't really make sense, but at least it's stuff that ain't stupid :D. What I mean is, what are baby versions of Mario and Luigi doing there? Did they turn from past versions of Mario and Luigi to seperate CHARACTERS or something? :D I'm thinking there IS a time paradox. Imagine this. The space onion decends upon the mushroom kingdom intent on ruling the world by the power of smell. The entire kingdom is crying uncontrollably, including Mario and Luigi, BUT WAIT! The space onion accidently rips space/time a new one and Baby Mario and Baby Luigi show up! They somehow are immune, so it's up to Mairo and Luigi to defeat the onion with... baby power... or something...
Okay that's not the story at all... but it would be awesome if it was.

The game does look a tad nicer, but I'm just glad to see there's a sequel to one of my favorite GBA games. I might have to finally spring for a DS soon.

They really should have put some attention into the characters, though. They've still got that same not-so-great art style... Paper Mario is so much better! But yeah, the backgrounds look great.
Looks like one of those games involving time travel to the past, with Mario and Luigi having to protect their baby selves from some villains who are attempting to kill them in the past with this whole time paradox cliched theme. But I'm sure it will make for good gameplay.
