Well...

Looks like it could be the same in Australia and elsewhere in Europe as well, though why they didn't decide to use it for NA and Japan is beyond me.

NICE!
 
They should have it that after you complete Minion Quest you get to have Bowser as a captain.

Maybe throw in some post-game challenges to tackle with him.
 
Funnily enough, the Japanese title of Minion's Quest has nothing to do with the "minions" term: it is 『クッパ軍団RPG』 or Koopa Troop RPG.

Not surprising, the Japanese titles were always a lot more blunt.

Just M&L rpg 1 2 3 4 PM Mix

What is this one's Jap title anyway?

『マリオ＆ルイージRPG1 DX』, which means Mario & Luigi RPG 1 DX. For some reason, they felt the need to add the 1...

although the DX is more appropriate than just nothing.
 
Well, I'm not surprised Europe and Australia get cooler looking Mario boxart.

Why, has this happened before? I thought it was more the other way around, last I remember America got better Sticker Star artwork than us but I can't think of anything else.
 
oh wow this is nifty

this will at least give me a chance to play through superstar saga, which i missed out on in my youth

Eh I think I prefer the European Sticker Star artwork, it's an actual scene unlike a bunch of renders scattered over a yellow background. Super Paper Mario had better artwork in America though.

As for M&L, the English box arts for the first 2 games were so much better than the Japanese ones, I have no idea why they decided to carry the blandness of the old JP boxes over to us instead of the other way around.
 
Because once the american audiences were hooked, the need to make 2 different styles became redundant.
