Mario and Luigi- The Dragon's Blood

Mario and Luigi- The Dragon's Blood is the last JRPG in the Mario and Luigi series.
It stars the bros alongside a samurai named Yuri and a man named Elise who claims to be the last survivor of the Dragonkin of Sakura. 
The game has a much more serious tone than previous ML games, and even gives a tragic backstory to Bowser and Peach.
== Plot ==
Peach is getting married. Mario, Luigi and Starlow attend the wedding ceremony, worried that Bowser is behind it, and see that her spouse is a white-haired pale-skinned boy, with flame-like tattoos on his face and a black cloak. He introduces himself as Elise Kuroyuki, the last survivor of the Dragonkin of Sakura, and claims that with the marriage, he plans to reform his ancient empire, proclaiming himself Shogun of New Sakura. At the wedding, the bros meet Yuri Tachibana, a samurai with a metallic arm and half of his face covered in metal who is "prince" Elise's royal guard (and lover, but he never directly says it). Unsurprisingly, Koopas crash the party, led by Bowser, whom Mario fights as a tutorial. Elise, however, seems to know Bowser. He mentions "freeing him" from the "Legacy of Marcus", and suddenly the Koopa King has a hallucination and screams: "DIE! DIE! DIE!" before falling to the ground and retreating. 
== Gameplay ==
The game is a turn-based RPG with action commands, akin to the other Mario and Luigi games. 
Each "Bro" is associated with a button and a color: Mario with A and red, Luigi with B and green, Elise with X and black and Yuri with Y and white. While the Bros have jump and hammer attacks, while Elise uses his fangs and ice breath in dragon form (similar to Bowser in MLBIS), while Yuri uses a gun and a rocket launcher. Each pair has a type of special attack, Bros Combos and Sakura Combos, which use AP and require the turn of both. While defending, Mario and Luigi use jump and hammer, Elise uses ice breath and Yuri uses magic shields.
== Trivia ==
Yuri and Elise are speaking characters in this game. Only Mario and Luigi not, and it's explained that they can't because of a curse.
