Super Mario RPG is change of pace for the Mario franchise. The game has our red plumber team up with Peach, his archenemy Bowser, and newcomers Mallow and Geno to fix the Star Road from Smithy and his gang. Like other Mario games, the story is simple, but the writing is hilarious. Tons of witty dialogue and great interactions from the characters.
We have turn based combat for Mario’s first outing in the RPG genre. Timing is important if you want to deal a sizable amount of damage. The game’s magic system, Flower Points, is shared between all your active party members. Characters have different moves like Mario can do super jumps and chuck fireballs and Peach can be the party’s healer. The gameplay is really beginner friendly and a good way to get new fans into RPGs.
The Switch remake looks nice. I like the pudgy designs of all the characters and the music is good.
One criticism I have is that you can only carry a set amount of a particular item. Mushrooms that heal you or items that refill your Flower Points do not go over a certain limit. If you get an extra mushroom despite carrying 10 in your bag, that extra mushroom goes to your storage box. Why can I not carry 99 mushrooms in my bag?
Super Mario RPG is an excellent RPG to get new players into the genre. It is beginner friendly and RPG veterans like myself can still find enjoyment in it with the writing, music, and gameplay.
