Quote from: MarioWikiIt is currently thought that the story takes Mario and Luigi across the Mushroom Kingdom to solve the mystery of and find the cure for the Metakoro disease, which causes its victims to swell to huge sizes. At one point, Bowser also tries to kidnap Princess Peach, but he fails. In a second attempt, he uses something called a "Lucky Mushroom?" which gives him the ability to inhale everything. He uses this ability to eat Peach, along with Mario, Toadbert, and a yellow Bob-omb-like character. As seen in a screenshot, Mario and Luigi must escape from his body. It seems that Bowser can be controlled as the same time as the Bros., so that when Bowser does something (like drinking in a fountain), there will be an effect inside his body (for example, when Bowser drinks, his body is flooded.)
It is also speculated that Fawful may be an antagonist in this game, since some enemies bear a resemblance to him. The Flying Saucers featured in the trailer have green domes (instead of the purple of Shroob Saucers,) and are speculated to belong to Fawful. Looking closely at these UFO-like devices will reveal what appears to be a pair of bluish spectacles, similar to the ones Fawful wears. Also, at one point in the trailer, Bowser is seen chasing a blurry green and red figure riding a flying device. However, it also speculated that the green and red figure could be Prince Peasley.
There are also some kind of iron walls visible on a screenshot with a map. Due to their purple black and red color scheme, it is speculated that the Shroobs could also return. However, in the prequel, it was thought that all Shroobs were destroyed by baby tears. Because the black part of the wall is star shaped, it could also be a Ztar-like wall.
Heh, I find this to be interesting, and quite likely. I already pointed out the Fawful thing, and now the rest kind of makes sense.

I think it is fresh, too, finally adding some...dare I say, drama to Mario titles? Who knows if it is true, but it is welcome. So, if this is the case, what are your thoughts? And aren't swollen toads cute?
This game will be badass. As long as I don't have to meet the whiny princess again.
Which one?
Hmmm...interesting.
can't wait.
I love the mario RPG series.
If you're right about Fawful, i'll be very stoked for this game.
I didn't even know there was a third one coming out! Now I'm excited. The game looks to be very much like the others: funny and fun to play.
There is new footage for the game now.
Looks like you'll be able to have Bowser fight what looks like his castle (Yes, his CASTLE) AND HE IS THE SAME SIZE AS IT!
Well, we know M+L fight inside of Bowser....most intriguing.

I think that's only part of the game...
This is the one game I actually wish Bowser was the final boss. I don't think he's ever been the last boss in an RPG. But maybe that's the charm of it I suppose.

I don't even remember whether he's fought at all in PiT. But he's definitely not the final boss; that's the Shroob Queen.

Not to mention you fight him and his "Bowser Jr. replica" (because he's Baby Bowser) in Thowmp Volcano.

Yeah, that too.
Apparently, Mario and Luigi assist Bowser in Boss Battles. I saw vid where Bowser swallowed a miniature version of a boss and M&L pounded the crap out of it.

Go play it again then.
Well, the game came out in Japan, and there are a bunch of stuff on Youtube for it now.
Such as the final boss music (DON'T CLICK IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS ON THE FINAL BOSS!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsVUeGqCC9o&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsVUeGqCC9o&feature=related)
