The first installment of the cRPG game about plumber brothers was titled Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and was released on Game Boy Advance in 2003. Nintendo decided to continue to exploit the idea and produced a sequel entitled Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, this time for a two-screen NDS console.

Back from their first turn in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the bros. are jumping into a time-traveling, role-playing adventure with a lot of help from their younger selves.

Professor E. Gadd has just completed his time machine! So excited was Princess Peach about the new invention, that she decided to go on a joy ride with a few of her courtiers. But when the time machine returns, no Princess, just an ugly Junior Shrooboid with a taste for Italian plumbers. That's where Mario and Luigi come in. Bidden by Toadsworth, Peach's father, to find his daughter, the bros. travel to the Mushroom Kingdom of yesteryear by jumping through mysterious time holes which suddenly appear.
