Peak mario. Amazing world, great story, amazing gameplay, amazing art style, amazing gimmick, amazing music. The only thing that isn't amazing are the giant battles, those are just pretty good. Fortunately, dream team really improves those.

Peak Mario RPG, peak RPG in general. DEFINITELY worth your time

One my favorite Mario rpgs also the dark Bowser is a fun boss the final boss music is amazing.

There's a ton I could praise about this game: the music, the spritework, the combat, the writing, etc. But the thing that really sticks out to me is how well it does Bowser. Not only is he funny and a great main character, but the game does everything in its power to make him feel like a playable boss. He has free heavy-hitting and AOE attacks, his stats are high, and he straight-up tramples enemies the bros would have trouble with.

TTYD might usurp it once I play the remake later this year, but for the time being, this is my favorite Mario RPG. It does a ton right and very little wrong, and there are enemies called Stonk and Sneed. If that doesn't convince you of this game's quality, I don't know what will.
