Advantages: 3D, Cool Music, Long Lasting

Disadvantages: Tedious

Believe it or not super mario rpg is 3D and yes its on the snes !

First the graphics, wow this is great for 16 bit system. Okay, donkey kong was better looking, but that isn't what this opinion is about. Of course, it's done in bright colors, ranging from light pinks, to dark reds, it's just so perfect. Buldings are colourful and everything is so detailed !


The music, it has humable (yes its a word) tunes that stick in your head, and that fit the mood pretty well, just wait until you get to a certain star in Star Road, ranging from reggae-like, to classical music. Music for the ages. The woman who done the music for this done the music for parasite eve on the PSX !

The stoyr starts out like the usual Mario games we're used to. Princess Peach is kidnapped by Bowser, Mario must go to his castle to rescue here, and they live happily ever after. The end

Okay, I have 2 major hates with the battle system-

1- Everyone Shares MP/FP, so, unlike Final Fantasy, no one has their own MP, and that makes things complicated near the end boss, when you find out you've almost beat him, and then you find out that you have NO FP and NO Flowers to restore FP. AAAAARGH!!

2- You can't have 4 members. I know 3 is enough, but why can't we have 4? Is it technical limits?

Jumping works in an RPG, but it's tedious when you have to jump in a certain direction, cause the game wants you to fall into the friggin lava for the 100000th time in a row. That, and it can be a little twitchy.

The game also has mini games all in all, some are fun, some are not.

Overall super mario rpg is a great game, but it isn't perfect, which is a shame, since it's the most neglected title by Square fans, who think they know all of Square's games. If you like rpg's, get a snes and give it a shot, but if you're a mario fan who thinks that mario in an rpg is stupid...... just give
it a shot as well. Who knows? maybe you'll become addicted to it.
