Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

chaos: Even if it is a decade old, it still kicks major ass!

Rubedo: Has anybody played this game before? We think it is by far the best RPG ever made. Besides the humour, it's got a nice, fun, battle system, great characters that get developed nicely. (Unlike Paper Mario, which gives you a crapload of characters ever chapter. Still a good game though).

Albedo: *laughs maniacally* And the chances of a remake are going up too... with the creation of yet ANOTHER Mario Sports game, Super Mario Basket 3 on 3, which is being created by none other than Square-Enix and Nintendo.

Trowa: They haven't worked together for a while. Hopefully this will lead to the creation of a remake and sequel of a great game.

Rubedo: Yeah. A great game overshadowed by the launch of the Nintendo 64. :mad2:

chaos: So yeah. Voice your opinions on this game.

SMRPG was the.....2nd RPG I ever played. I loved that game considering it was also the first one I ever beat. Paper Mario was pretty good too, but not as good as SMRPG.

By far the absolutely best, most awesome and ass-kicking battle system ever made! Seriously... the battle system in this game is completely unmatched. The only game that has a battle system that even deserves to be compared to SMRPG's battle system is Xenosaga 1.

This was the first RPG I ever played... but it's still by far one of the best. Just about everything in this game ranges from "good" to "perfect".

...and just for the record, I really, really, REALLY hope that Geno will be in Super Smash Bros Revolution. :greenie:

chaos: Hey, Hey, Ultima! :D

Rubedo: And I completely agree. Geno in SSBR would be so awesome. Just imagine, if you hit Geno Whirl perfectly, you instantly kill someone! :)

chaos: Mallow would be cool too. Him using thunderbolt, and all over the level, different strikes of thunder go.

And him crying when he gets hit.

chaos: Oh oh oh! Remember Booster's wedding? When the cake came to life, and the chef's were so oblivious. Well, Chef Torte anyways.

Rubedo: And trust me, this game will see the light of day again. It was such a great game, and did sell well, but so many people missed it because of the N64.

Yeah, that would be so awesome! I don't think they will overpower him so much that they give him an instant-KO move but... still, Geno Whirl is a must! :cool:

Also, I forgot to mention another very important thing about SMRPG. The fact that no matter how many times you play it, you can always play it all over again... and still enjoy every bit of it. SMRPG got more replay value than ANY other RPG ever made. :greenie:

chaos: Darn right. I just hope more people post so this doesn't turn into more of a PM-esque thing.

Rubedo: I've played SMRPG so many times it isn't even funny. I know every single part of it in my head perfectly. It's like my damn bible.

True. This will be my last post for now. I'll wait until more people has posted. :greenie:

Anyways... what about the two of us doing another SMRPG challange? You remember the last one, right? :p

Oh and if there will be a SMRPG 2, I really hope that there will be a lots of secret dungeons filled with crazy super bosses. Something like Sphere 255 in Star Ocean 3 would be really cool. :cool:

The game is overall fun, I hate climbing the vines so much! The angles are hard to hit so I miss the vine a lot and fall back down :(

I'm sad to say I never beat the game, but I played through a good bit of it, and it was definitely a blast. Just good, old-fashioned lighthearted Nintendo fun, with a solid system provided by Square.

This was the very first RPG I've ever played. It's one of the greatest games ever!:D

Albedo: *laughs maniacally* That's how it went. It gave me difficulty as well... same goes for the platforms in Booster's Mansion. *laughs maniacally*

Rubedo: Azar, you pretty much explained my feelings for SMRPG in that post. It was enjoyable, and laid back. While there was an antagonist (multiple ones at that), it wasn't anything totally serious, as even the bad guys could give you a laugh (Bowyer. No, not a typo).

SMRPG was the first RPG I ever played, and it is still on my "Top five games of all time" list. So far, I have played it six times, and the sixth time I completed the game from start to finish (Including Yo'ster Isle, Jinx, Culex, Star Egg, Toadofsky's Pond, all six doors, and five fireworks in my inventory) in one sitting. So much caffiene...

chaos: Wow. One thing about the game that was great was that you really never wanted to drop the controller. In FF (Even VI I'm afraid), there would be many a time when I was tired of searching for a place, and would just drop it. I wouldn't go back to playing it for a while.

Albedo: Did you discover the almighty Grate Guy's Casino? *laughs maniacally*

That's so true. With most RPG's you'll just have to drop it and do something else for a little while. But with SMRPG, you just can't stop playing. :cool:

...

I came up with this idea over a year ago.

This hurts me inside.

And yeah, SMRPG is my favorite game ever. I would so desire a true sequel.

chaos: xD!

Rubedo: Yaep, SMRPG is indeed the best game ever.

I remember dropping a fairly large sum buying the game at Funco Land when I was very young.

To this day, I still consider it one of my best purchases. Funny thing is, I only recently discovered Grate Guy's Casino...

Has anyone ever got to do 100 or more Super Jumps?
I believe you get the best item in the game from that Monster City guy if you do...

Anyways my personal best was 92. :cool:

97, actually, my finger got a tick one week long.

I've actually managed to get 100 once. It took me a whole lot of tries, though. I did it on one of the Lizards in Star Hill, and it took something like 2500 dammage! O_o

Anyways... you get the Super Suit. The absolutely perfect armor. Too bad, the game was really easy even without the Super Suit, so I didn't need it at all. It's still cool to have it, though, on my "mastered" save file. :cool:

I absolutely loved this game!

It was an excellent tie of Mario and the Squaresoft RPG.

This game even featured the boss called Culex, (SPOILER) who has the Final Fantasy 2/4j Boss Battle Music and Victory Fanfare .

I was impressed with the game. There wasn't much that was too difficult about it. Honestly, the most frustrating parts of the game were not battle-related, but rather, it would be some treasure that was out of reach.

Plus, I like the interaction for using Special Attacks. In most games, spells or special attacks, you just choose them from a list, and the character executes them. In this one, almost every Special move had some way in which you could interact with the move while it was being cast (SPOILER)Especially Geno Beam

All in all, I liked this game. I'd highly recommend it for any RPG fan.

Here I go feeling old again, and I'm only 20 for god's sake. It's tough to realize that though it feels like just yesterday I was a kid playing this game, it wasn't just yesterday, and I'm not a kid anymore. Growing up sucks.

Anyway, though I've never owned it, I do love this game to death. I think part of why I never bought it though was just that you could beat this game in a weekend rental without too much effort. It's low difficulty and short playtime really were it's only faults in my eyes.

Heh, I feel the same way. To most people, SMRPG is an old-school game. But I don't really look at it that way. I think of the Atari and the Coleicovision as old-school, but SNES isn't old-school. I still play mine everyday!
