'''''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''''' is a turn-based action [[Genre#Role-playing|RPG]] video game for the [[Nintendo DS]], developed by [[AlphaDream]] and published by [[Nintendo]], and | '''''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''''' is a turn-based action [[Genre#Role-playing|RPG]] video game for the [[Nintendo DS]], developed by [[AlphaDream]] and published by [[Nintendo]], and the second title in the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]]. It was released in North America, Japan and Taiwan in 2005, in Europe and Australia in 2006, and in South Korea in 2010. The story of the game involves [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] time-traveling between their present and past times and teaming up with their infant selves, [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]], to stop the invasion in the past by the enemy alien species called the [[Shroob]]s. The English title is a pun on the term "partners in crime," referring to criminal accomplices or close acquaintances. | ||
The game is primarily a turn-based RPG, and incorporates action RPG and platformer elements similarly to its predecessor. It takes many elements from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and revamps them to take advantage of the Nintendo DS's new features. While it makes minimal use of 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]]'', also for the DS, in 2009. | |||
Like its predecessor, it is one of the few ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games to have been released in North America before Japan. However, | Like its predecessor, it is one of the few ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games to have been released in North America before Japan. However, it 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'' title without a version made for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], though it can be played on any 3DS model via backwards compatibility. | ||

===Minigames=== | |||
Along the quest, the brothers must play a few minigames, which are required to complete for story progression. The Thwomp Caverns minigame can be replayed; the second spaceship minigame of the Shroob Castle can also be replayed, as it is part of the final levels of the game, where Stuffwell can use his Special Service Warpulator to warp back before that point. | |||
*At [[Thwomp Caverns]], located in the [[Thwomp Volcano]], the [[Thwomp Bros.]] host two minigames. | |||
**The older Thwomp operates a slot machine. In order to use it, Mario and Luigi must roll into [[Bros. Ball]] and collect as many jewels as possible. If enough jewels are collected, Baby Mario can stop the slots with his hammer. Depending on the difficulty setting and the slots aligned, the brothers can receive various items as rewards, including coins or beans. | |||
**The other minigame is hosted by the younger of the Thwomp Bros. In this minigame, Mario and Luigi must use the [[Baby Spin]] on Baby Mario and Baby Luigi and summon the [[Whirlwind]] move. On their descent, they need to collect as many jewels as possible, with the prizes dependent on the number of jewels collected. | |||
*In the [[Shroob Castle]], two minigames involving a spaceship is played. | |||
**The first minigame involves piloting the [[Shroob Mother Ship]] in order to take down smaller [[Shroob saucer]]s. | |||
**The later minigame involves using the head of the Princess Shroob statue of the spaceship to shoot Shroob saucers into the Shroob Mother Ship to destroy it. In this minigame, the height of the spaceship is controlled by Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi hitting blocks, as the spaceship rises to the height in tandem with the rising and falling bar. Hitting the block stops the bar, which indicates the height the ship rises to. Mario's block fires a laser beam, used to attack Shroob saucers. Once Mario fires his laser, the height of the ship resets to the bottom. All characters are not required to hit the block for Mario to use the laser. In the second spaceship minigame, the ship the brothers are piloting have a set number of hit points, which get decreased when a Shroob saucer runs into it. When all hit points for the player are depleted, the ship crashes and the player gets a Game Over. | |||
==Beanhole locations== | |||

In the game, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi can collect [[Bean|Beans]] by coming across beanholes -- X-shaped bean symbols on the ground -- all throughout the Mushroom Kingdom, in both present and past times. There are 167 Beans from beanholes. Beans can only be collected out of the ground after the player learns the Baby Drill move at Vim Factory. Hammer Bros. also explain how to drill into the ground and pick up beans. | |||
