Super Mario RPG is well Mario in an RPG. Bowser's castle was taken over or whatever and the Princess is missing and Mario gains some allies from the series and such.
I'd heard a lot about this game and had people recommending it left and right. Sharky is a big fan of the game and was super pumped for me to play.
Sadly, I was not as impressed with it as many people are. I guess it isn't that unexpected, I was never a huge Mario fan anyways. I've played a few, and while some of it is fun, overall I much prefer other games. I'd say my favourites are Mario Kart and Mario Tennis. Happily, I was overjoyed to played this gem. It's one of the finest RPGs made, and a rare blending of Nintendo quality and 90's era Square brilliance.
But anyways, a lot of why
I didn't like this game is because I found it very difficult to play. I may have mentioned before that I don't have much experience playing SNES games and a lot of the controls confused me. I was always mixing up commands. Don't even get me started on jumping. Add that to the fact that I wasn't super invested in the story or characters. I loved this game so much, was because of the great controls/game system. The SNES had probably the best game pad of the era. Also the story and characters were fun and engaging. Mario and Bowser working together certainly added a twist, and it was the first time Princess Toadstool got to be more than just a plot device. She was a playable character.
But tThis game rightfully receives a lot of praise. It can be fun if you enjoy the gameplay, and it has some mini-game type things.
to break up the monotony of it. The world is interesting. I'd say its best quality is
the sense of humour. There were some really funny moments that had me laughing out loud. So if you're a fan of Mario and RPG's, this should definitely be worth checking out. everything it did, because it did them perfectly.
