==Story==
Princess Peach is having a party to celebrate Mario's latest victory against Bowser, with everyone in Toad Town invited, Mario and Luigi themselves are sleeping in the foyer after eating pancakes, blissfully unaware of one of the windows being broken. The reason behind the broken window, is because of Wario and Waluigi breaking and entering in hopes of stealing some money, of course, the loud noise wakes up the two brothers and puts them into a pursuit with the Warios, chasing them out of the building with their hammers before leading to a tutorial battle outside of the castle building. The fight is interrupted by the arrival of a short man with a broken nose, who introduces himself to the four heroes as Bishop Barrymore Rocco. 
He explains to them that he has come from the "Soulful City" in the hopes of advertising his religious beliefs, to the world of the Mushroom Kingdom. The whole time he rambles on about his career of being a bishop with his eyes closed, Wario and Waluigi slowly back away, before running back into the building to find some money, with the thing that they find being a map. As they run out of the building, knocking Bishop Rocco on his butt on the way out of the gate, Princess Peach, Toadsworth and some Toads follow them, before stopping in front of Mario and Luigi to tell them what happened. 
Heading up to the fourth floor of the castle, which was closed off for privacy purposes to the public until the party, Peach explains to Mario and Luigi that the clock in the main foyer of the floor, was once the power source of an ancient time ring for the Mushroom Galaxy, which was then replaced with more advanced activity, permanently putting it out of service. The map itself being a guide to where to find different unused chime balls to store inside of it. She fears that because of Wario and Waluigi stealing the map, that could take away the fun factor of the clock for potential visitors from abroad. She sends Mario and Luigi on a mission to retrieve the map, but before leaving she makes a call with someone on her APhone. 
==Gameplay==
Mario & Luigi: Friends In Greed is a turn-based role-playing game in which the player controls either the Mario Bros. or the Wario Bros. as they navigate through the Mushroom Kingdom. The Mario Bros. and the Wario Bros. adventure separately but in certain parts of the story, the four brothers can travel together and perform a few special out-of-battle techniques. Throughout the game, the story will change roles between Mario () and Luigi () who are searching for the Star Cogs in order to fix the Star Clock and Wario () and Waluigi () who have stolen the Koopa Cruiser in order to find the game's villain Bishop Rocco, beat him up, steal all of his untold riches for themselves and sell his robots for millions of coins.
===Battle System===
The battle system in the game is split into three versions depending on who is playing. Mario and Luigi's system plays like regular battling from past installments as the bros can still Jump, Hammer, Use Items, Use Bros. Attacks, and Flee from battle while Wario and Waluigi's system is almost the same except with some different Bros. Attacks and in-battle options, Burp and Fart replacing the Jump command, and Strangle replacing the Hammer command.  Group Battles, are basically the two systems in one fight.
==Bros. Attacks==
Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi obtain Bros. Attacks during their adventure by catching Nabbit who has stolen some from the basement of Peach's Castle. There are ten Bros. Attacks in total, five of which are retrieved by Mario and Luigi, and the other five retrieved by Wario and Waluigi.

==Battle Cards==
Battle Cards are objects that Mario and company collect and buy randomly throughout the game. They are found in various shops and locations throughout the game and serve the purpose of acting as secret weapons in battle. During battles, the player creates a deck of 10 Battle Cards, one of which will be played each turn. These range from boosting stats, dealing damage, or lowering an enemies stats or level. Each one needs a different amount of Star Points to use. Star Points are earned by preforming action commands correctly, in which the player will be given word ratings, "OK", "Good, "Great", "Excellent" and "Amazing", depending on how well the player preforms these actions. The cards will reset once they've all been played. Despite the Mario Bros and Wario Bros being separated throughout most of the game, they still share the same cards in their inventory.

Name 	Description
Mario 	The plucky Mushroom Kingdom Plumber is back and this time, he and his brother are on a mission to fix the Star Clock after it was destroyed by Wario and Waluigi and they will under no circumstances let Bowser do the thing he does, in this adventure.
Luigi 	The comical coward of the Mario Bros is back and is all freshened up after his little holiday on Pillo Island. One little incident isn't too much for him and Mario to handle, and the seven Star Cogs wouldn't count as a big incident.....to him at least.
Wario 	The oldest of the big bad brutes, the owner of the WarioWare factory and a childhood friend of Mario, goes on a holiday to the Mushroom Kingdom to steal some money from the local banks and decides to destroy the Star Clock to find some coins, however after getting into a tangle with some loser named Bishop Rocco, he has a new goal, to beat him up and see how much money he has.

===Supporting===
Name 	Description
Starlow	Starlow is called to the rescue to aid Mario and Luigi after the Star Clock is destroyed, which to her is a personal matter as that clock is something that holds the Star Shrine, and all the planets and stars in the same cycle and is pretty much a family clock for the Star Sprites. Being Mario and Luigi's aid lady, she provides them with info on their surroundings and battles, sometimes getting angry in certain situations, often sarcastic towards people she doesn't find humorous. 
Popple 	The greatest thief of the Beanbean Kingdom joins Wario and Waluigi on their little journey for money, however the moment that they get into the tangle with Bishop Rocco, he's enraged since he knows exactly where he stands in the hierarchy of personality and knows that he's richer than all of them and wants to kill him for the money. Being the rookie of the Wario Bros, he's found himself to be quite the rookie, teaching the basics and giving some important yet simply....useless, information on being the best thieves in the world.
===Antagonists===
Name 	Description
Bishop Rocco	A rich bishop that comes far away from the Soulful City who has some serious goal for world domination so he can force the people in the Mushroom Kingdom to believe in what his people believe in. Being a rich guy, he has a few fans that want to kill him and steal his money. Mario and Luigi usually encounter him and fight him in some parts of the story and he will not hesitate to try and force his false beliefs on them.
Bowser 	Oh that Bowser! Always getting in the way of everyone else's plans. This time he's not kidnapping Princess Peach so he can marry her, instead, he's putting the dukes up with an old rival and is trying to find the Warios who have stolen his Koopa Cruiser. Although he's not in the mood for kidnapping, he won't hesitate to fight Mario and Luigi for a Star Cog or two, knowing that they hold some sort of value of time.
Midbus 	As a former servant of the late sick maniac that was Fawful, Midbus decides to come back to the Mushroom Kingdom to tie up some loose ends with Bowser and the Mario Bros., now teaming up with Bishop Rocco, he's given the trust of holding onto a serious weapon called the Holy Spike, but since he's no longer a fat stupid pig, but still holds his questionable way with sentences, he might break that trust and do what he set out to do.
