A certified classic and updated for modern audiences to enjoy! Now as a remake, there are definitely some missed opportunities to touch up or expand upon the slower or more anti-climatic parts of the original that they sadly passed up on. Everything great about the original is still intact though, and the new Chain system, party buffs, in battle character switches, and Triple Attacks add fun new dimensions to the battle system and gives everyone a time to shine! Unlike a lot of modern RPGs, Super Mario RPG also keeps it briefer and to the point, which is honestly kind of refreshing in an era where most rpg's shoot for eating up 80-100 hours of your time. A new post game option also allows for you to test your mettle against tougher boss rematches if you're eager for tougher opponents to cut your teeth against. On the whole, the game is pretty easy, but that also gives it the perk of being a great entry point to the RPG genre for newer players, as well as a great way to familiarize yourself with RPG's that use an action command system in general. Highly recommend checking this game out if you've never had a chance to play the original, it's always been a gem of a game and a chill way to spend a couple afternoons.
