History YMMV / MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime

* EndingFatigue: No fewer than 'three' "final bosses", two of which having WAY too much hit points.

* Padding: Bosses having far too much HP.

* BreatherLevel: In contrast to the boss fight, Thwomp Volcano is a rather short level and has brief minigames that you can repeat to get beans.

* SophomoreSlump[=/=]TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Many fans of consider this game weaker than ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Superstar Saga]]'', since the fully explorable world was replaced with a more linear direction. Probably the reason ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Bowser's Inside Story]]'' returned to the explorable world.

** In the Japanese version, they speak entirely in katakana. But unlike in Japanese, where one of the purposes of katakana is to be robot/cyborg language, in English, it is considered highly cliché and unimaginative to have ROBOTS OR CYBORGS ALWAYS SPEAK IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS WITH NO OTHER {{VERBAL TIC}} IN THEIR SPEECH.

* GoddamnedBats: Shroids. They have one attack that is very annoying. It takes two flags, and the bros must jump/do nothing depending on color raised, ''performs this multiple times'', and one failure results in an unavoidable attack. Also, it may summon a UFO that drops a spikeball, countering this causes the Shroid to malfunction. This means the "flag" attack from earlier is reversed- the ''other'' brother needs to jump for each flag raise. [[SarcasmMode Fun]].

** The game ''heavily'' implies that [[spoiler:Toadiko ''dies'' as a result of having her vim sucked out. The Mario Bros. arrive [[AlmostDeadGuy in time to hear her last words]], [[TearJerker but are too late to save her]]]].

** Inside Yoob, you can see him wince in pain when the Babies use the hammer or the Baby Drill. The later is specially wince-worthy if you consider that Yoob just had something ''drilling into his flesh and is moving underneath it''.
** The Shroobs' destruction of Toad Town, Peach's Castle, Hollijolli Village.

* ThatOneBoss: The battle against [[spoiler: Bowser and his younger self]] is surprisingly difficult compared to the previous bosses, since their attacks are somewhat difficult to dodge, they utilize combination attacks with several fake outs, and they hit HARD.
** Also, Petey Piranha, while not as hard as the battle in Thwomp Volcano, switches between being flying and spiked and takes some time to learn the tell for his flying attacks. Also, he's one of only three bosses in the game who is only one target to attack multiple times a turn. It should be noted that [[spoiler: the Bowsers]] and Petey are the two [[ClimaxBoss Climax Bosses]].

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler: Elder Princess Shroob]]

* CompleteMonster: The Shroob race in general.

** The Shroobs' destruction of Toad Town and Peach's Castle.

* Yoob, who eats every Yoshi it encounters in sight (and later the Mario Bros and Baby Bowser), which are later encased in eggs which would most likely make more Yoobs to help conquer the Mushroom Kingdom.
* The Shroobs' destruction of Toad Town and Peach's Castle.

* [[NightmareFuel Nightmare Fuel = Shroob Fuel]]: The vim sucked from the Toads has the appearance of green liquid with images of sad Toad spirits inside it. Although this is likely not the case, given the ending, the spirit images have led some to believe that they are the souls of the Toads, sucked out by the Shroobs.

* ThatOneLevel: Gritzy Caves.
