And David Bowie.Ī very successful attempt on turning the Super Mario franchise into a different gaming experience from the 2D platformers from the 1980s and 1990s!Įasy-to-follow menus and controls lead the player into hours and hours of unnoticed gameplay along with funny and lighthearted dialogues. This review was brought to you by arbleich. You find his wish to become a great plumber like his brother Mario. Q: Is anyone actually reading this review when there is probably 20 others?Ī: Okay that wasn't a question That was just mean.Ī: Kinda. Q: Is it true that nobody actually asked you anything? If you missed it in the '90s this is your chance to play. Seriously.Īll and all, this is a charming and classic title. This game is loaded with platform gameplay, hidden dialogues and boss battles (like the most famous one: Culex, a character based on the Final Fantasy universe ), minigames and puzzles. Nearly all the enemies of SMB 1 & 3 (excluding the bosses in the forts) appear in the game, as well as some new ones and even a few references (an enemy that IS Donkey Kong with a different name, for example) Geno never appears in any other Mario game, as far as I know. Geno's real name is incomprehensible.) to help Mario and his gang send the stars home. He wants his castle back.) as well as some new characters, like Mallow the "frog" and Geno, a spirit from Star Road who embodies a doll ("Geno" is actually the name of the doll. Seriously.)Īlong the way you join up with Peach and Bowser (Yes, Bowser. Succesfully retrieved stars earn the goons Brownie Points (True story. Sword's name is Exor) wants the Seven Stars for himself. (There's a sword man falling from the sky! He likes to crash the party and make things all go arry! - Sing to the tune of Starman by David Bowie)Ī fiend named Smithy (not the sword. A giant sword falls from the sky and smashes into the castle, sending Mario, Bowser and Peach flying across the kingdom. The princess is kidnapped again and Mario goes to rescue her (per usual) but after beating Bowser things go south. Isometric platformer meets RPG battles and leveling and they have a lovechild that enjoys making you laugh. Every once a while, I take this game and spend a weekend leveling up and remember why I love the Super Nintendo. And the final one is at Smith’s Factory, where you fight against his power rangers wannabes. Once you get your group together, your goal is collect all star pieces to repair star road. The story is a ton of fun, gameplay is out of this world and when you save the princess, the game says the end? No, she joins your group and does some ass-kicking of her own…with a Frying Pan! Just like girls are supposed to do…just kidding. I guess it’s kind of what happens when you put Mario against a cameo straight from final fantasy… I’m at level 28 at this point and already finished the game, but this guy can still beat the ever loving crap out me. If you paid 500 coins for some fireworks and trade with a little girl for a shiny stone, you can fight against the hardest boss in the entire game: Culex. For example, the locked doorway in monster town. There was a really unique story this time around, a ton of new characters introduced, like Geno, who makes its first and last appearance on a Mario game, and some really cool secrets. Even though the game was released out the console’s lifespan, the game still is a collector’s pick, and if you want a copy, you surely will pay more than one hundred bucks for it.īut why exactly the Super Mario RPG kicks so many asses? Well, its kind a hard to pinpoint. The game come out in 1996, had amazing 3D graphics developed by square and it was the last Mario game on the Super Nintendo. Rarely do we use the word “perfect” to describe a game, but in my opinion, Super Mario RPG is pretty damn close.
