Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time is the fifth game in the Mario RPG series, and it is a Nintendo DS exclusive title, released in November 2005 in North America, December 2005 in Japan, January 2006 in Europe, and February 2006 in Australia. The game was developed by AlphaDream, and published by Nintendo. Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time is the sequel to Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga for the GameBoy Advance, and a precursor to the Mario & Luigi 3 game, which has been scheduled for release in 2009.
Even though the game is the sequel to Superstar Saga, the stories of the two games don't have anything in common. Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time explores the story of two brothers who travel between the past and the present of the Mushroom Kingdom.
The adventure follows Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi, as they search for Princess Peach, who has been abducted by an alien species, known as the Shroobs. The game focuses on co-operative play among the four characters, who must use their specific skills in order to progress.
Featuring Mario, the most beloved plumber in the world, the game can be considered a general success, bringing the RPG Mario series to an all-time high on the Nintendo DS console, as it has sold over one million copies until now. It has gained critical acclaim for the innovative use of the DS' two screens and the tongue-in-cheek humorous story. All in all, it is a pretty great game. Here are some things that might help you if you get stuck.

Defeating Princess Shroob Part II
Use the following trick to counter Princess Shroob's teleport attack. Whenever she teleports to all kinds of places and throws energy balls at you, jump over them when she teleports in front of one of the brothers. If she appears in-between the brothers, watch her hands. When she extends one hand for the energy ball barrage, if it is her right hand she is first attacking Luigi, then Mario, and vice-versa if she uses her left hand. She will sometimes attack from a ledge up high. If she raises her left hand (facing you), she is throwing a ball at Mario, whereas she is throwing one at Luigi, if she raises the right hand.
