Who would have thought that a game about getting vored by Bowser would end up being one of the best Mario RPGs ever made?

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, a giant Bowser accidentally swallows Mario and Luigi. At this point in the game, you control both Mario and Luigi as they explore Bowser's insides and Bowser himself as he explores the Mushroom Kingdom. Interestingly, what you do as Bowser can affect what happens to Mario and Luigi and vice-versa.

Bowser is easily one of the best Mario characters so getting to control him in anything but a sports game is great.

Whilst the Mario & Luigi series has always had interesting locations to explore, the inside of Bowser is definitely one of the best, where else could you fight Goombule, weird amalgamations of Goomba's and amoebae. Give us Goombule for Smash.

The game was later remade for the Nintendo 3DS with Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey. Whilst not a bad remake there's one problem, you can already play the original Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story on the 3DS as the system is backwards compatible with the Nintendo DS.
