m (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see how Bowser's first fight in Dream Team has anything to do with Beanishes (or however the plural is spelt))
(It's a "similarities between games" section, that should explain itself. :V That said, it still doesn't belong. Honestly this needs major rewriting but Im not up to it right now.)

*The first three games have the playable characters say "Nintendo!" when the game boots up (Mario and Luigi in ''Superstar Saga'', Baby Mario and Baby Luigi in ''Partners in Time'', and Bowser in ''Bowser's Inside Story'').

*The first four games are mainly set somewhere other than the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] of the present ([[Beanbean Kingdom]] in ''Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga'', the Mushroom Kingdom of the past in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time'', [[Bowser's body]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and [[Pi'illo Island]] and [[Dream World]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'').

*All five games have unique versions of common enemies (''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' has bean-related enemies, ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' has [[Shroob]]-like enemies, ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' has Fawful-themed, organ-themed and [[Dark Star]]-themed enemies, ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'' has Antasma-themed and dream-themed enemies, and ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' has paper versions of enemies).

*The first three games all feature Bowser as the first boss (although in the second it is Baby Bowser), so that the player can learn about the basic battle gameplay. In the fourth, Antasma takes this role instead. During the initial fights of the first four games, Mario learns the action commands while Luigi is occupied with something else (watching in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', playing in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', sleeping in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', and dreaming about the fight in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'').

*In all five games, an altered form of Bowser is the final boss ([[Bowletta]], [[Shrowser]], [[Dark Bowser]], [[Dreamy Bowser]] and [[Shiny RoboBowser]]). The only forms of Bowser that aren't actually him is Dark Bowser, which is really the [[Dark Star]], and Bowletta and Shrowser were possessed by [[Cackletta]] and [[Elder Princess Shroob]], respectively.
*In all five games, Bowser features as the final boss in some form ([[Bowletta]], [[Shrowser]], [[Dark Bowser]], [[Dreamy Bowser]] and [[Shiny RoboBowser]]). Of these, Dark Bowser is the only one who is not actually Bowser (being the [[Dark Star]] taking his form); Bowser is also possessed by [[Cackletta]] and [[Elder Princess Shroob]] respectively to create Bowletta and Shrowser.
*All games' storylines are about or heavily feature collecting the pieces of a Star or another magic item (the [[Beanstar]] in ''Superstar Saga'', the [[Cobalt Star]] in ''Partners in Time'', the [[Star Cure]]/[[Miracle Cure]] in ''Bowser's Inside Story'', the [[Ultibed]] in ''Dream Team'' and [[Fire Ore]] to build [[Papercraft|Papercraft Fire Mario]] in ''Paper Jam'' ).
