Mario & Luigi: Reign of Darkness

Mario & Luigi: Reign of Darkness is a game in the Mario & Luigi series. The game takes place closely after the events of the game's predecessor, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. This game was developed and published by LYON Games. This is the first game in the Mario & Luigi series that is released for a home console.
==Story==
Mario and Luigi are invited to a picnic by Princess Peach. The bros first arrive at the castle, where they were instructed to meet Peach. As they attempt to leave, though, Bowser is there to stop them! Mario engages in battle with Bowser, where he is instructed on battling by a Toad. Bowser is beaten as usual, and he runs off. At the picnic grounds, everyone has now eaten. Wario, who was lurking in the bushes the entire time, sees this as a good time to strike. He leaps out, kidnaps Peach, and runs off.
The Mario Bros, shocked by Wario's sudden kidnapping, chase after him, leading them to Goomba Fields. The Goombas in the grassy plains prove easy opponents, but the bros eventually find Goomboss. He confronts the brothers, but is ultimately defeated. Through the fields, more Goombas are found. The Mario Bros. find Midbus, once a minion of Fawful. He has been hired by Wario, according to his description. Midbus attacks the Mario Bros, and proves a tough foe. The Marios defeat Midbus and move on.
After traversing Goomba Fields, Mario and Luigi reach the Everlost Woods. The woods are full of mazes, but the bros get out and stumble upon a huge mansion - Sparky Mansion. The mansion itself is also full of mazes, with the winding paths eventually leading to King Shocker. Shocker proves to be the toughest challenge yet, but is still overcome by Mario and Luigi.
Rest TBA
==Gameplay==
===Overworld===
In the overworld, Mario and Luigi can jump and hammer, like always. Mario and Luigi will eventually learn the techniques Spin and High Jump. The bros can enter battle with enemies from here.
===Battle===
Mario and Luigi battle enemies through turn-based combat, like the past three installments. Battles are entered through contact with enemies in the overworld. If enemies are jumped on or struck with a hammer, Mario and Luigi get a first strike, allowing them to do damage before the battle starts. However, certain enemies can attack Mario and Luigi and get a first strike themselves. Unlike previous installments, enemy first strikes now do damage, instead of rendering Mario or Luigi immobile until their first turn. Mario and Luigi can use a jump, hammer, special attacks, run away from the battle, or use an item.
