Let's Play Super Mario RPG!

I have never played this game but sharky loves it and all of Pike's threads have inspired me to give it a try!

Before we start, I have hardly ever used the zsnes emulator and I'm not super familiar with controls and stuff :shobon: I haven't been able to figure out how to open the menu in game. I tried all of the buttons I know of but its not working. Anyways, let's get started!

http://i.imgur.com/QHzBTsP.png

:excited:

http://i.imgur.com/rpm7fK1.png

I wasn't sure if this is one of those games when they ask for your name but really its the hero's name. I'm glad it isn't!

http://i.imgur.com/CBGSDge.png

So here is Princess Peach/Toadstool! Apparently Toadstool and Peach and Daisy have some weird intertangled naming stuff going on but the Mario wiki says she's Peach and she looks like Peach so I'm calling her Peach :colbert:

http://www.mariowiki.com/Princess_Peach

http://i.imgur.com/7KKn2V3.png

Hmm this doesn't look good

http://i.imgur.com/JcVj44t.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/Fie7enD.png

Bowser kidnapped the Princess. Such a shame

http://i.imgur.com/e9GNZZi.png

Oh am I rescuing her? Is that what's going on?



Is Yoshi in this game?

http://i.imgur.com/Oo0TF34.png

So Bowser takes her to his ominous castle of ominousness where he can apparently control the weather to suit the atmosphere he is trying to create (ominousness is an actual word, I just found out)

http://i.imgur.com/eEJb2Tb.png

And Mario is right behind them. He sure can run

So I get in to some battles in the castle and it made me chuckle

http://i.imgur.com/0DW0Lwj.png

So cute :lol:

http://i.imgur.com/Eow5N7s.png

Oh no the bridge fell! That's some shoddy construction :/. You think with all of the money Bowser obviously spends (he owns his own castle with a lava pit) he could maybe hire some better builders.

So eventually I find Peachstool dangling from the ceiling

http://i.imgur.com/Dm08IBt.png

And Mario super jumps up to save her

http://i.imgur.com/SbpSPrq.png

And I get in to a fight with Bowser, which wasn't unexpected, and then Peachstool decides to give me instructions

http://i.imgur.com/2uHuGXb.png

Why don't you just fight him then :colbert:

So I start attacking the chain because I was totally planning to do that before she said anything >.>

http://i.imgur.com/y2s7rUH.png

It wasn't me, it was Peachstool :shifty:

http://i.imgur.com/OuuYm7b.png

Yep, he said that

http://i.imgur.com/kPHoAfc.png

Poor Bowser. Can't a man/turtle/monster thing just kidnap Princesses in peace?

http://i.imgur.com/HmoH43F.png

:erm:

So he starts throwing hammers at my chain and sure enough I go tumbling down

http://i.imgur.com/pW4H7Ca.png

Yeah sorry about that :-/. That must be frustrating

http://i.imgur.com/3YqV9wz.png

:erm:!!!!

But Mario once again demonstrates his superhuman jumping skills and hightails it out of there

http://i.imgur.com/AbtXR9d.png

Poor Bowser

http://i.imgur.com/nBYMfha.png

Yes?

But something happens and there is shaking and falling and other such action packed events

http://i.imgur.com/D4SE7CF.png

Oh what's this?

http://i.imgur.com/MBw8UuH.png

This is the game I'm playing, in case anyone isn't caught up yet :bigsmile:

So I go launching away and land in what appears to be Mario's house, on his coat hanger

http://i.imgur.com/L5MYtd0.png

Hello

http://i.imgur.com/wD2Qb83.png

Oh you're SO FUNNY

And that's the beginning of Super Mario RPG :monster:

Stay tuned~

:hyper:

Small update!

http://i.imgur.com/arfRC7x.png

I dunno

http://i.imgur.com/7tq251T.png

I just said I don't know :nonono:

http://i.imgur.com/wzy1QJU.png

Probably

http://i.imgur.com/d1tn997.png

So is this like my job? Is this what I do for a living?

So I head over to Bowser castle to find

http://i.imgur.com/HNdsnUo.png

Mario

http://i.imgur.com/1Dd8SxI.png

.... :|

So then he destroys the bridge and I can't get to Bowser's castle anymore. Oh well!

So apparently Mario is a mute because he heads back and tells Toad what's happening via charades. He's not very good at it either

http://i.imgur.com/BZrMQkD.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/FdV4KDm.png

Okay. So we head out and I get some useful tutorials

http://i.imgur.com/iDb8Cwx.png

And then I save Toad from a Goomba (that's what they're called, right?)

http://i.imgur.com/ostuG6o.png

Why don't we just.... travel together? ......no?

So I do some fights and I gotta tell ya, I am awful at this game :/

So then I meet some guys who say they don't like my face and neither do their hammers. They use an attack called.... hammer time

http://i.imgur.com/oPmiE1C.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/7T2QFzn.png

Make up your mind :colbert:

So of course I take it because... video game.

Then I arrive in the candy mushroom Kingdom and buy some things and rest.

Will continue tomorrow or later :monster:

I was never that good at getting Mario to land multiple jumps on the enemies.

Yaayyy, Mario RPG!

I love the puns in this game.

Bowser has never been good at interior bridges over lava. It was his demise through most of the first Super Mario game.

Let's continue!

http://i.imgur.com/UKIOTmh.png

I feel like you're hiding things from me, Toad :-/

http://i.imgur.com/hHh5Wmv.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/OdVfULq.png

Oh no, not the spores :onoes:

http://i.imgur.com/NiOLfMO.png

Oh... did you not hear? Well this is awkward. Mario then starts playing charades again and I've got to say, his impressions are excellent

http://i.imgur.com/4crW1He.png

I had no idea he could shapeshift

http://i.imgur.com/3AW2h4q.png

I don't know why anyone is surprised by this

http://i.imgur.com/IP9eoXR.png

:shobon:

http://i.imgur.com/bHLgkj7.png

Oops

http://i.imgur.com/WoXQwZn.png

Y.....yes I totally knew I could do that :shifty:

http://i.imgur.com/6qsuVl4.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/9NK89FU.png

Yay map :jess: Those are always handy

http://i.imgur.com/rCJaKLH.png

Yay free items :jess: Those usually also come in handy

The Chancellor also stops Mario a good number of times before he leaves and Mario apparently doesn't take well to that, falling over, rolling down stairs, and smashing in to doors.

So I leave to find an amusing scene of some... cheeseball... looking thing chasing a purple reptile around and yelling at him

http://i.imgur.com/QvGhRHx.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/mszfI9Y.png

You should report it to the police

This isn't what he does of course, but he does begin to cry, which makes it rain. I approach him and he stops crying, mostly because he forgot why he was crying :|

Then he remembers!

http://i.imgur.com/EGO7IrR.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/ItgkfwX.png

You could probably just talk to your grandpa about it. I doubt he would want you chasing after a possibly dangerous and violent criminal

http://i.imgur.com/qyXr0yt.png

Or we could just do that, sure

http://i.imgur.com/w1kfm8w.png

A frog? Are you serious? He looks nothing like a frog!!!

http://i.imgur.com/mNOJYXO.png

That's what I said. But yay I have a new character :jess:!!!

http://i.imgur.com/Y2Pcrq5.png

No. Then we ask this toad mushroom person why he didn't stop him

http://i.imgur.com/F1nrC9Z.png

:eep:

http://i.imgur.com/sDFPC1t.png

It's one thing to steal but it is entirely another to name call :colbert:

And so we begin our persuit of the dastardly purple crocodile

Tune in next time :monster:~

Yay SMRPG :hyper:

Man this seems so racist to me. Just calling a criminal a REPTILE.

Ever since they stole the Gate Key, "Reptite" has been used as a slang word for thief. 60 million years of racial discrimination and counting.

Did you get the frog coin by bouncing on Toad's head in the castle?

No :(

Ah, they're really easy to miss when you first play. The next time you play, make sure to ride on top of Toad's head, until you get to the door of the throne room. before he enters, jump on the ledge & a hidden box will appear w/ a frog coin.

There are 39 hidden boxes in the game w/ various items. Unfortunately, you can only get that one on the first try. If you want, you can use a hidden box FAQ, or try to find them on your own.

It's your first playthrough, so don't feel bad about it.

So if you recall, I was chasing that purple crocodile guy

http://i.imgur.com/yqJXxtp.png

THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG

Actually not, because somehow Mario has started sucking at jumping. I can't tell you how frustrating these stupid jumps were and at one point I messed up so many times that I got rid of all of the monsters on the field and then I GOT A STUPID STAR IN THE TREASURE CHEST I WORKED SO HARD TO GET :nonono:

Anyways

http://i.imgur.com/P1A5tiT.png

I think Croco has trouble with distance measurements

http://i.imgur.com/YPavsNy.png

That stupid treasure chest :nonono:

http://i.imgur.com/g14sGgG.png

:|

I hate you Croco

http://i.imgur.com/Qc8ir6c.png

I know. He just said that.

http://i.imgur.com/2tQElYm.png

Ugh

http://i.imgur.com/OIFUNy9.png

Well that's rude :G

http://i.imgur.com/QRm5k4d.png

Again with the verbal abuse

http://i.imgur.com/Ci2l3P5.png

At that rate I'm pretty sure I can just earn enough money to refund the coin he stole :-/

So after annoyingly chasing him down 1292093483974930192 times

http://i.imgur.com/jl5cY6g.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/ZTHN7du.png

This leads to a very difficualt boss fight in which I use up almost all of my items :(

Then frogmallow threatens him like he actually did anything during the fight

http://i.imgur.com/sndJF67.png

Ugh just go away forever

http://i.imgur.com/M5H4MU9.png

http://i.imgur.com/7UsbwBl.png

Oh good :|

http://i.imgur.com/Zzt4X1g.png

Oh and I'm a thief now, alright. Unless I'm turning this in to the police so he can claim it

http://i.imgur.com/e6f0Hn0.png

I GUESS SO

Luckily they give me a sping loaded jump pad to help me head back :jess:

And that's all for today! I would play longer but its 1 am and those stupid jumps took me forever :monster:

Tune in next time!!!!!

So I head back to the Mushroom Kingdom to find it being terrorized by guys who look like that short red guy with the mask in Mario Tennis

http://i.imgur.com/ujAIgPM.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/M8MkmXZ.png

I don't think so?

So I head over to the castle to find it even more infested after I buy some items and get some things and such

http://i.imgur.com/pESRDNJ.png

How rude :colbert:

I wasn't even gone that long you know :-/

So I head over to Peachstool's room and find everyone huddled up in there except for

http://i.imgur.com/0tLztO5.png

Guess I have to go rescue him

sigh

http://i.imgur.com/dWE7ZkJ.png

I don't actually think this property belongs to you. If you could just waltz in and claim a home then we would have a house by now.

Cheaters

http://i.imgur.com/oAbK9jO.png

So is the face on the sword or on the little red ball on top or...?

http://i.imgur.com/hcjX4Oz.png

These guys have an addiction

Anyways after a long fight, Mack and his goons are defeated, except for two of them, and I get a star!

http://i.imgur.com/TGlZk9b.png

Yay me

http://i.imgur.com/0ajExML.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/KRy4CGQ.png

This doesn't sound good :erm:

Also, those two remind me of Zorn and Thorn.

http://i.imgur.com/6HglVDz.png

So the Chancellor is rescued thanks to Mario!

http://i.imgur.com/O1Mzr1S.png

Okay, let's leave it up to some other hero




....no?

http://i.imgur.com/fcJioXG.png

Apparently his grandpa knows EVERYTHING

http://i.imgur.com/QQnOIH2.png

http://i.imgur.com/d2kYAjY.png

I'M TRYING GEEZ

http://i.imgur.com/MMV0e5Y.png

:|

http://i.imgur.com/zrf1NGj.png

Our heroes also return a wallet!

Anyways, that's all for this time! Tune in next time~

Shy Guys

Fun game. I first saw it at my cousins house watching them play but it wasn't until last month for a review that I finally got to play it. My friends provide the best requests. I was sad Luigi was neglected, though. Question!

http://i.imgur.com/g14sGgG.png

Why does Mario's outfit look blue here? This did not happen during my playthrough. Also, Croco was a pain in the ass.

His outfit is blue because of the star. It was all flashy

Update time! Not a big one though because the game was being a butt :nonono:

So I have to head through the sewers to meet cheesepuff's grandfather

http://i.imgur.com/6RTJWyt.png

After an annoying maze, I finally get to the boss!

http://i.imgur.com/M0zCwdY.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/jiVjiX5.png

Cheesepuff doesn't have the most tact

http://i.imgur.com/dkRbCi3.png

:|

So I defeat him (twice because of the stupid game) and he says

http://i.imgur.com/zqK1YYf.png

Which is not usually something you want to hear from an enemy you just defeated

http://i.imgur.com/nXr2Cvm.png

Says cheesepuff as a huge gate opens

http://i.imgur.com/wpgYRtZ.png

Well sure enough the water comes rushing out and we are swept away to a waterfall

http://i.imgur.com/gdkc6pK.png

:stare:

Once I pathetically complete that

http://i.imgur.com/4901qQW.png

URGH

I do terribly at that as well.

http://i.imgur.com/EeNYJmH.png

Well, I have nowhere near enough for just one frog coin so... go me

http://i.imgur.com/XWuguRt.png

Yeah I don't... sorry

But I did get:

http://i.imgur.com/zLaUG5w.png

:jess:

And that's all for today! Tune in next time~

I end up at that tadpole place

http://i.imgur.com/EKGTcWJ.png

Look a tadpole!

http://i.imgur.com/xHl21vM.png

Am I super Mario? I thought I was just Mario? What's the difference?

http://i.imgur.com/Q3uzUsV.png

Super

http://i.imgur.com/7Kjtabn.png

He sounds very wise and gossipy

http://i.imgur.com/yhJvfNF.png

?

http://i.imgur.com/3cTXVaz.png

Time for Mallow's granpa to make a grand entrance

http://i.imgur.com/O6WVAMq.png

:erm:

http://i.imgur.com/gti5hpr.png

:|

So he calls me over to talk to him and I have to jump on some tadpole heads which makes me sad ;_;

http://i.imgur.com/ikhMTpk.png

I guess so

http://i.imgur.com/jGvV1rk.png

I am kind of on a time crunch with my games so that would be nice

http://i.imgur.com/lv8nBXn.png

sigh

http://i.imgur.com/GoCMxb1.png

That's what happened, yes. He jumps on the table for effect

http://i.imgur.com/feruNIX.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/feruNIX.png

Great~

http://i.imgur.com/0N07Q6I.png

I do?

Apparently his minions are wrecking havoc as evil minions tend to do

http://i.imgur.com/rOJF54c.png

I forget who Mack is

http://i.imgur.com/iKq8oOs.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/lSagi5z.png

So can I wish for that bad guy to go away?

..........no? maybe?

http://i.imgur.com/QXISvMg.png

RPG's tend to do that

http://i.imgur.com/1mRBjot.png

What the heck kind of grandfather are you :nonono:

http://i.imgur.com/3YJRbuB.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/8US0yPz.png

He's adopted? Yeah we can tell

http://i.imgur.com/nArOCEm.png

Apparently Mallow couldn't tell

http://i.imgur.com/sORwCnx.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/9t3BI83.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/d44E31S.png

fluff cheesepuff

http://i.imgur.com/Owun2VT.png

SIGH

http://i.imgur.com/YhHCay2.png

You're not really giving me much of a choice. Its better than going alone though, I guess

http://i.imgur.com/3eVj3Fq.png

Are you going to tell me how to get there maybe? Hello? HELLO???

http://i.imgur.com/z5O5Bol.png

Turns out that isn't the way and frogofthesky or whatever doesn't appreciate my song :nonono:

Tune in next time :monster:

I like this LP. I like it a lot.
