 '''''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''''' is a [[Genre#Turn-based tactics|turn-based]] action [[Genre#Role Playing|RPG]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]], developed by [[AlphaDream]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It was released in November of 2003 for the Game Boy Advance and later as a [[Virtual Console]] title for the [[Wii U]] in April of 2014 and as one of the launch titles for [[Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online]] in February of 2023. The plot revolves around [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] traveling to and exploring the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] to recover [[Princess Peach]]'s voice from an evil witch, [[Cackletta]], and her pupil, [[Fawful]].
-In addition to being the first installment in the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'']] series, this game is also the third ''Super Mario'' RPG following ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario]]'' respectively. It would itself be succeeded by ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' for the [[Nintendo DS]] in 2005. Notably, the game takes heavy inspiration from ''{{wp|Tomato Adventure}}'', AlphaDream's first Game Boy Advance RPG, featuring very similar graphics, sound effects, and even allusions to certain characters. This game features rumble support if played on a [[Game Boy Player]]. The [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|remake of the ''Mario Bros.'']] arcade game featured in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'']] series of games was also included with ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.

It would itself be succeeded by ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' for the [[Nintendo DS]] in 2005. Like ''Paper Mario'', the game is a spiritual successor to ''Super Mario RPG''.

 A remake of this game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], titled ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', was released in October of 2017, featuring a new, exclusive sidequest mode coinciding with the main story. As such, it is the first and currently one of only two installments in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series to receive a remake. The second would be ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', which received a remake titled ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' a decade later.

-Mario and Luigi crash land in [[Stardust Fields|Beanbean Borderland]]. They soon meet the [[Border Bro]]s, who let them pass after they play the [[Border Jump]] game. Mario and Luigi soon find Bowser stuck in a cannon; its operator, [[Tolstar]], tells the Bros. to get 100 [[Beanbean coin]]s in order to secure Bowser's release. While doing that, they learn the [[High Jump]] and [[Spin Jump]] from the [[Starshade Bros.]] After getting enough coins, Tolstar decides to attack the brothers, but is soon defeated.

-The brothers soon make it to [[Hoohoo Village]], where some [[Beanish]] soldiers mistake them for foes. Tolstar tells the soldiers the brothers are not lying, and they are permitted entry to the town. They soon leave to find Fawful tormenting a soldier. He mocks the brothers by placing a rock statue in front of them, blocking their path to [[Beanbean Castle]]. They decide to visit the [[Hammerhead Bros.]] back at the village to obtain [[Hammer]]s from them. However, the Hammerhead Bros. cannot make hammers because the material that they have is too brittle. They need a Hoohoo Stone, so the brothers climb up the [[Hoohoo Mountain]] to retrieve one from the summit.

 Midway, they confront a statue named [[Hoohooros]] whom challenges the Bros. to a battle. Once they overcome Hoohooros, it allows them to continue up the mountain. When the Bros. finally reach the summit, they find a Hoohoo Stone, but it falls off the mountain. This awakens [[Blablanadon]], who is mad at what they did. After the Bros. explain the incident, Blablanadon apologizes and explains that he has been sitting on a strange egg for some time. Suddenly, the egg hatches, revealing [[Dragohoho]]; the creature knocks Blablanadon away and fights the brothers. They defeat the monster, and it transforms into [[Prince Peasley]], the prince of the kingdom, who thanks the Bros. for freeing him and gives them a [[Peasley's Rose|rose]]. Blablanadon flies the Bros. back to Hoohoo Village, where they meet the Hammerhead Bros. again. With the Hoohoo Stone that fell into their cabin, the Hammerhead Bros. are able to make them the hammers they require.

 Back at the castle, Luigi jumps on Mario to squirt out the Chuckola Reserve into Queen Bean, returning her to normal. Peasley then arrives to inform everyone of Cackletta's presence in [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], prompting Queen Bean to send the Mario Bros. there to investigate. At the Hooniversity, they solve a series of puzzles to unlock the Sun Door and reach Cackletta and Fawful. The evil duo are about to awaken the Beanstar using [[Peach-bot]]s that are installed with Peach's voice. When Cackletta activates them, however, they make a strange noise that drives the Beanstar crazy. The star causes a tremor, sending the robots and itself falling to the floor below. The Mario Bros. then appear, and Luigi bashes Fawful into the ground with his hammer, leaving Cackletta to fight them alone.

 Back at the castle, the Mario Brothers find out that Peach's voice had never been stolen. It was really [[Birdo]] disguised as the princess at the time who lost her voice, hence why the Beanstar reacted so adversely at Woohoo Hooniversity. Peach knew about this all along, as Peasley came and told her about Cackletta's plan beforehand, but she had been unable to explain things to the Mario Brothers due to Bowser's arrival. Later, Peach decides to visit [[Little Fungitown]], with the Mario Bros. escorting her.

 Mario and Luigi go out to get the first Beanstar piece, which is in the [[S.S. Chuckola]] back at Teehee Valley. After the ship is sent into [[Oho Ocean]], the Mario Brothers follow the floating Beanstar to [[Gwarhar Lagoon]]. Here, they learn [[Dash (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Dash]] and [[Tickle]] from the [[Jellyfish Sisters]]. They later discover that the Beanstar piece is being used as an ornament for [[Hermie III]]. The brothers soon receive the piece after a battle with Hermie.

 Later on, Peasley drops by with a huge present for the brothers. As the heroes return to the Mushroom Kingdom via Peach's airplane, Peasley's present turns out to be Bowser, who is dropped off at his other castle. The plane lands at Princess Peach's Castle, and fireworks erupt. It is then shown that the adventure was made into a movie being shown in the Yoshi Theater, where the screen zooms out to show the Yoshis sitting in the theater and applauding.
