I can see why this game is a classic. It was my first time playing it all the way through and I had a pretty fun time. The music and characters are the best parts of the game in my opinion. The gameplay, while basic, is engaging enough. My main issue with Super Mario RPG was the pacing. It's a pretty short RPG, but man sometimes it is a slog to get through. Solid game though and will continue to be a great introduction to turn the genre for kids :)
