Mario RPG never takes itself too seriously, and it shows in its characterizations. In doing so, you'd earn the respect and support of the Mushroom Kingdom's denizens as you try to return things back to normal. While traveling through the mines, forests, sunken ships, and sky-bound towns, you'd help the folks of these places take back what's theirs, instead of just skittering through them and hopping on heads.

Towns and villages were full of goofy characters that made the world feel alive, and let you peer into the goings-on of the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond. Whereas Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger were relatively dark and brooding (which is why I cherish them), Mario RPG was a breath of fresh air-whimsical, light-hearted, and a pleasant world to be in. But I did have those SNES RPGs that tested my reading comprehension and problem solving skills at a young age. I didn't have a strong attachment to the Mario franchise at the time. On its own merits, Mario RPG stands among the genre's greats. Square gave Mario the Final Fantasy treatment with unique story arcs, the development of existing characters, new faces that quickly became favorites, an ingenious combat system, and an unforgettable soundtrack. And the developer's RPG mastery transformed that beloved Mario universe into something much more than a platforming adventure. It made Mario, Bowser, and Peach allies, and it gave the series' characters a vibrant world to live in.ДЇinal Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VI, and Chrono Trigger were already among the SNES greats, but Square had one last game in it before jumping ship to the PlayStation. It's a game that took the things we loved about Mario and subverted expectations. The lens through which I've always understood the franchise has been Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the 1996 SNES game from Squaresoft (now Square Enix). I've enjoyed those games and understand the fervor of people's love for them, but they're not necessarily what made Mario important in my eyes.

With games like Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 often cited as the quintessential series entries, and seeing that evolution with the likes of Galaxy and Odyssey, it's easy to see why these action-platformers are highly regarded and often cited as formative gaming experiences. Hush.Everyone has their favorite Mario game and remembers their first experience fondly-stomping goombas and koopa troopas, collecting stars, and making tight jumps in whichever whimsical world sticks with you, especially at a young age. My cousin and fellow SA member Organ Donor will be joining me in doing a video-with-commentary-style LP - theoretically, updates will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but prepare for inevitable disappointment! For the record: Yes, I'm aware that there is an LP of this game already in the archive.

But we'll gawk at that inexplicable and bizarre bridge when we come to it.

Square kind of got caught up in the excitement of their heady SNES period and went a little crazy with their interpretation of Mario's world. It's the predecessor of the Paper Mario series, but gameplay is quite different from that of Paper Mario-where those games could be described as increasingly Mario-styled games with simple JRPG elements, Mario RPG is a classical (if on the simple side) JRPG whose characters and themes happen to be drawn from the Mario universe. Two years later, I (a recovering Sega kid) overpaid for a used Super Nintendo at Funcoland explicitly for the purpose of overpaying for a used copy of this game. It was released at just around the end of the SNES era, in 1996. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, commonly referred to simply as Mario RPG, is Nintendo's first attempt at building a role-playing experience around the Mario brand, developed by scene legends Square-Enix, back when they were just called Square.
