Undeniably cute and charming!

It was fun seeing the origins of Mario RPG mechanics, but it’s hard going back to the simplicity of an older game after everything that came after.

The original characters were real fun, but ultimately I didn’t get the Geno hype; honestly, Mallow had more of an arc than him.

Navigating the overworld felt super wonky and kinda sucked sometimes! Soundtrack slapped, though, and the new cutscenes were lovely.

Would love to see a proper sequel with these assets that modernize and expand on the original a bit.
