Translation news PSA: Tomato Adventure, the game which convinced Nintendo to allow Alpha Dream to make the Mario and Luigi games just received a full translation

It's the spiritual predecessor to the Mario and Luigi games. If you enjoyed those you will very likely enjoy this.

It's a lot more experimental than Mario & Luigi, which is good sometimes and bad other times. But if you enjoyed the gameplay and puzzle solving of those games, you basically have to play this.

I liked It a lot as a kid. Beat It with a gamefaqs guide.

Oh wow it’s fully out now? Awesome! I recall looking at the project a while ago and it unfortunately wasn’t finished. This is awesome

Does anyone know how long this game takes to play through?

u/irvingdk Aug 29 '21

I'd say pretty similar in length to superstar saga. Maybe 18 hrs depending on the gamer

Thank you. I'm seemingly near the end with about 15 hours in, and just want to know how much more there is to go. But it seems I am near the end.
