Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is a Adventuring game. Adventure games are enjoyed for two reasons: they provide enemy encounters that require tactics and strategy to conquor, and they create a fantasy world in which to explore and adventure.

Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story can be played in a Turnbased mode. Turn Based games are played in turns, so that players can stop and consider their next move. This is common in tactical experience such as strategy or adventure games as this enhances the sense of control and planning the player has. Other genres - such as sporting, fighting and rhythm action games obviously rely on realtime game play.

Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is the third in the series of Nintendo DS based role play games staring Mario and Luigi - hence its Japanese title of Mario and Luigi RPG 3. As in the previous two Nintendo DS Role Play Games, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, we switch between characters as we try to unravel the various puzzling mysteries and battle our way to an answer. Although not unseen on the DS, it is the attention to detail and fleshed out mechanics that make Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story such an interesting proposition.

As Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story gets going, players are soon tapping along with text and visuals to get the gist of the story. A mysterious infection is taking over the Mushroom Kingdom which causes the Toads to inflate to massive proportions. To make matters worse, Mario and Luigi find themselves inhaled by a brainwashed, magically enhanced Bowser. So the scene is set, a double jeopardy scenario of escaping from Bowser and saving the kingdom from infection. Things get more bizarre and amusing from here - with both hilarious and perplexing results.
