Too Long; Didn't Read
The Mario and Luigi game series provided a fresh and exciting take on Nintendo’s Super Mario franchise. Each game relied heavily on stories and cooperation revolving around Nintendo fans’ favorite pair of plumber brothers. The games were so popular among fans that two titles received remakes with extra side story gameplay added on. However, after a while, it became clear that remakes were all there was going to be when the series’ developer, AlphaDream, declared bankruptcy in 2019. On January 9, 2020, Nintendo of America filed a trademark for the Mario & Luigi series.
