Advantages: Excellent graphics, Mario in an RPG, Fun and addictive

Disadvantages: Some puzzles are tedious

Super Mario RPG for the SNES is the prequel to Paper Mario for the N64. If you liked the N64 version, you will absolutely adore the SNES original.

The graphics are, for its day, fantastic. The colours are bright and lush, the story is good and the game play is very addictive.

The story follows the usual Mario storyline with Boswer kidnapping the princess and Mario spending the whole game trying to rescue her. You meet plenty of enemies along the way and there are many characters to talk to who develop the storyline.

The battle system is very simple to learn and follows a typical rpg turn based system, where you take it in turns with the monster you are fighting to hit each other. When you first start the game there is only one move available to you but as you progress you learn other moves, spells and pick up items that you can use in battle.

There are plenty of puzzles and mazes in the game to keep you occupied and the difficulty levels very from too easy to quite difficult. At times you find yourself wandering around for ages trying to find out what you missed.

It isn't as involved as a Square RPG and some of the puzzles are a bit tedious, but it is great fun. I would recommend this game as a great RPG to start off with for children, but also a fun game for adults to play too.

Super Mario RPG is very collectible and you will struggle to find it in good condition. I sourced my copy from America because Nintendo did not release it over here in the UK.
