Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is a Nintendo DS game developed by AlphaDream and published by Nintendo. It was released worldwide in 2009 and in South Korea in 2011. It is the third title in the Mario & Luigi series, preceded by Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time for the Nintendo DS in 2005 and succeeded by Mario & Luigi: Dream Team for the Nintendo 3DS in 2013. The title of the game is a parody on the term "inside story", meaning the "true" tale of an event from the perspective of an insider who participated in the action, as opposed to an outsider who only hears about the event later on. In this case, the game is a literal inside story, as Mario and Luigi have to adventure through Bowser's insides. The game's European Spanish, European French, and Italian name is a parody on the famous novel Journey to the Center of the Earth. The original French name is Voyage au centre de la Terre, the Spanish name is Viaje al centro de la Tierra, and the Italian name is Viaggio al centro della Terra. This is the only non-3DS installment in the Mario & Luigi series not to be released on the Virtual Console for the Wii U. A Nintendo 3DS remake of the game, titled Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, was released in Japan on December 27, 2018 and elsewhere in January 2019. Outside Japan, the release year marks the 10th anniversary of this game. This is the second game in the Mario & Luigi series after Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga to have a remake.
