In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, barrels are extremely glitched objects. Normally, they are rarely encountered and are only used by having Luigi tunnel under them and pop up so he is wearing the barrel, which allows Mario to stand on it to solve some puzzles.
However, by performing very specific inputs while wearing a barrel, the game becomes immensely unstable, with the screen sometimes filling up completely with glitched graphics, and large amounts of other unintended effects. One particularly notable effect is that if the barrel is manipulated as part of the glitch to be on Mario instead of Luigi, then performing a High Jump on it will quit out of the game entirely, and open up the Mario Bros. game that is present on the cartridge as a bonus in addition to Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
This results in a glitch that has the power to warp the user to a completely different game.

A week late, but happy 20th anniversary to Superstar Saga!! Can't overstate just how influential this game is to me from its art direction to its gameplay.
you don't understand how normal i am about the mario & luigi series' FIRST game featuring prince peasley, a character who not only remembers luigi's name, but chooses to forget mario's all while continuously treating luigi like the extra special one out of both the brothers
like. this game emphasized the whole "haha luigi's a loser" mentality nintendo rly latched onto. in the start of this game he is repeatedly being forgotten and belittled and dragged along this way and that
and then all of a sudden this PRINCE shows up and starts giving luigi all this special attention like? AH. the idea that luigi's self esteem is already so low and then all of a sudden he's having roses thrown in his lap, nicknames given to him, and thanks/compliments left and right
not to mention the. ahem. butt stabbing scene...
and the aforementioned deliberate choice of words on peasley's part when referring to mario. he recognizes that luigi is hardly referred to by name and extends that kind of lack of recognition to MARIO instead of luigi, for once!
and luigi reciprocates hardcore!
he starts greeting/saying goodbye to peasley by waving his hat, blushing around him, collapsing to the floor and sobbing when peasley puts himself in a dangerous situation, and rushing to hug him at the end of the game
and there’s other little things: like how peasley is straight up winking as he goes to catch luigi from falling
and in the remake, luigi keeps peasley's rose under his hat! 🥺
in conclusion: i think their relationship is really important for luigi's self esteem and character arc and more people should witness and recognize their very canonical romance. thank you. <3
my favorite location in hit classic Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga is the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell that fawful and cackletta cause a ruckus in
This was supposed to be a color wheel... about superstar saga...
It is a visual mess now and far from a color wheel but I kinda like it anyway. I couldn't find a way to include the christmas tree hermit crab. So that's tragic.

In celebration of such an important milestone, I would like to introduce you all to beanbeankingdom.net!
I wanted a place where fans could easily find information on these games... This website is dedicated to the past 7 years I have spent compiling and researching merchandise and media from this series.
