Though the game is primarily a turn-based RPG, the game mixes in action RPG and platformer elements, which is the primary gameplay point of the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. The game takes many elements from the first game, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and revamps it to take advantage of the Nintendo DS's new features. While it makes almost no attempt to use the Touch Screen (Mario must rub the dirt off [[Toadbert's Drawing|a drawing]] at one point), the game uses the addition of the {{button|ds|X}} and {{button|ds|Y}} buttons, the extra screen, and greater system resources. It was succeeded by ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' (which was also released for the DS) in 2009. | Though the game is primarily a turn-based RPG, the game mixes in action RPG and platformer elements, which is the primary gameplay point of the ''Mario & Luigi'' series.

Like its predecessor, it is one of the few ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games to have been released in North America before Japan. However, the game was re-released in the [[Wii U]]'s [[Nintendo eShop#Wii U|Nintendo eShop]] on June 10, 2015, in Japan first, and later that month in North America and the following month in Europe and Australia. It is the only ''Mario & Luigi'' game in the series not available for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], though it can be played on any 3DS model via backwards-compatibility. | Like its predecessor, it is one of the few ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games to have been released in North America before Japan.
