This is another game that is on Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online, this is Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the first game in the Mario & Luigi RPG series. This game came out in 2003 and was developed by AlphaDream, and it received a remake in 2017 for the Nintendo 3DS called Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions.
In this game, a visitor from the Beanbean Kingdom visits Princess Peach's Castle, who steals the princess's voice, and Mario arrives at the castle along with Luigi and Toad, where they find Bowser, and learn what had happened.

As this video is a preview video of the game and it will be in the Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online playlist, I don't have current plans to do a playthrough on Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga yet, I might play through the game in my own time, the title will change if ever I do get around to it, but I will at least go over things in the description in case I end up doing it.

When you start the game, it takes place in Mario's house, and you get to control Toad during that point in the game, who warns Mario about what had happened in Peach's Castle, and when he enters the castle, Bowser is already there, and we enter the battle tutorial.
After that, we find out that Peach's voice has been stolen and replaced with explosive vocabulary, and because Bowser does not want to kidnap Peach that way as that would damage his castle, he asks Mario to come along on his Koopa Cruiser.
Then we take control of Mario, and explore the outside of Peach's Castle, you can talk to the Toads to get tutorials, and collect items, like Mushrooms, which can be used to restore HP in battle. There is a member of the Bowser Baddies, and if you help him out, he gives you a 1-Up Mushroom if you next see him on the Koopa Cruiser, I find it strange how the group is called Bowser Baddies instead of the Koopa Troop like in many other Mario games.
When you exit, Toadsworth comes and gives Mario a suitcase, and Luigi will be staying behind. Then it is time to board the Koopa Cruiser along with Bowser and his group, and they end up bringing Luigi along.
Then on the Koopa Cruiser, and some of the Bowser Baddies give some tutorials to the Mario Bros., where if you press A, you can have Mario jump, while pressing B is how you can get Luigi to jump, and you can choose to have Luigi lead, there are blocks where they switch between an M, where you have to have Mario hit it, and an L, where Luigi has to hit it.
Then we find one of the Bowser Baddies who takes a passport photo of the Mario Bros., for some reason they can never remember Luigi's name, he gets called like "Mr. Green", or any other name. You can press the control pad to get some poses. Then we find some barrels, and in them are Goombas, regular enemies with 4 HP, and when you level up, you can choose a stat to upgrade, Mario's stats are more about Speed and Power, while Luigi tends to have higher Defense and Stache, which is the Luck stat of this game, increasing the chances of critical hits.
After getting past the Goombas, we make it to another part of the ship, and a crane come and picks up Luigi, and we get to the deck where Bowser is, and have another encounter with the evil Cackletta, the one that stole Peach's voice, and she sends her minion Fawful to attack us.
Here is our first boss fight, it is against Fawful, he has 18 HP on the first phase where he is floating, and if his text is red, he will target Mario, and if it is green, he will attack Luigi as he shoots a projectile out. After getting in enough damage, Fawful changes phase, this time on the ground, and he attacks by charging, he has 12 HP, giving him a total of 30 HP. After the battle, Fawful attacks the Koopa Cruiser, causing us to crash land into the Beanbean Borderlands, and the rest of the adventure will continue next time, that is if ever I do plan on continuing this game.
If you are wondering if I ever played any of the Mario & Luigi RPG series games, I have, the first one I have played is Dream Team for the 3DS, and the first game in the series that I have completed is Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. As I have went over, I might play through this game in my own time, and if I want to, I can continue on with the game.
