MS & Flametail: Superstar Saga

 is a game based off of the Mario and Luigi series. For those who know nothing about Mario & Luigi, it's basically an RPG series with the main gameplay being based around two buttons being associated with the two heroes. This game, if you couldn't tell, stars Moon Snail and Flametail. It was released for systems.

Story
Just like the title suggests, the game hits many similar beats to Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

It is Lemres' birthday, and as you'd expect, Moon Snail wants to join in. He and his best friend Flametail venture off to the birthday party with Moon Snail's gift in tow. They meet a lot of their other friends, as well as two cloaked figures who, while unknown, seem to be friendly enough.

Everyone's in a single file line, ready to give the warlock his birthday gifts, and unfortunately for Moon Snail and Flametail, they'll have to wait for the cloaked figures to give their gift before Moon can give his. The cloaked figures approach Lemres, with Moon Snail getting excited... but they turn out to be Ecolo and Lemongrab in disguise! After revealing themselves, they quickly reveal their present, which turns out to be a salt bomb, and knock Lemres cold with it. The duo kidnap him and run off. Moon Snail and Flametail try to chase after them, but are blocked by Rift. After Rift's last run-in with the duo, he's seeking revenge on them, and prompts the first fight.

This fight serves as a tutorial (Provided by Klug, one of Lemres' closest friends) on how the battle mechanics work. Rift grabs Flametail, making the first part of the tutorial to only be about the core mechanics with Moon Snail. After the tutorial, Moon Snail deals enough damage to rift to cause him to drop Flametail, where the second part of the tutorial, learning about the duo mechanics, to begin. After the tutorial, the duo defeats Rift.

After the battle, Rift notices Ecolo and Lemongrab. He states his disdain for their vibes and desires to kill them, to which Moon Snail replies that he's also seeking to stop them in their path. Rift then decides that he'll set aside his differences with the duo and help them get rid of Ecolo and Lemongrab. Moon Snail reluctantly agrees, and the three chase after the terrible duo. After catching up with them in the sky, another battle begins, between Moon Snail, Flametail, and Rift vs. Ecolo and Lemongrab. Despite the trio's raw power, the battle is a, and Ecolo and Lemongrab easily beat them. Ecolo then trips up Rift, causing the trio to plummet down back to the ground.

Moon Snail wakes up in Weigela Woods, with Flametail and Rift nowhere in sight. Thankfully, after not too much walking, he meets back up with Flametail. Flametail mentions that he hasn't seen Rift anywhere, but neither of them are very choked up about it. They both agree to try and find a way out of the forest.

On their way, they run into Cryssey, who knows fully well what's going on. She decides to help them out of Weigela Woods, but finds herself blocked by several weeds. When MS and Flametail come up blank on how to deal with them, Cryssey reminds them of their Mon Attacks, prompting a tutorial on how to use Mon Attacks. Firstly, she shows how MS can use Cut to cut down vines, and Aerial Ace to surmount higher ledges. Afterwards, she shows how Flametail can use Ember to burn down more durable objects, and Fire Spin to get across large pits. She then states that Mon Attacks can be used in battles too, starting a battle to demonstrate.

Once defeated, she continues to guide the duo through Weigela Woods. Suddenly, they come across 20-12-S, who is giving Rift a headband and a sick eye visor. When Moon Snail confronts them, Rift reveals that he does not remember who he was, now calling himself "Smashboy" and acting radical and obnoxious. 20-12-S, feeling more confident around "Smashboy", actually confronts Moon Snail instead of running away from him. Another battle begins, but Cryssey sometimes joins in to strike 20-12-S and Smashboy for extra damage. Once defeated, 20-12-S and Smashboy fly away in fear.
