I remember Dan saying during the Mario Luigi SS streams he didnt get far in this game in the past. I hope this might change his perspective a little cause this is a great game that deserves to be remembered.
RT mentioned the Final Fantasy vibes early on, but back when I played through the original last year, a buddy of mine half-jokingly described SMRPG as "one of the best Final Fantasy games on the SNES". I think that's a big part of what gives the game its charm, though. It's clearly an old-school Square RPG, but the fact that it was the very first Mario RPG means there's also a lot of early-days weirdness to it. You have a lot of archetypal Mario trappings - starting in a grass "level", then moving on to an underground "level", etc etc - but the weird homebrew enemies, the unique interpretation of the world, the punched-up translation, and the deliberately-unfitting Smithy baddies give the whole thing a really neat style. It's honestly great.
I played the original game twice and couldn't finish either time, but when the new version came out i shotgunned it, barely doing anything but play it from 8am to 5am. I really hope this new release of the game allows people to enjoy one of the best comedy RPGS ever in a new way.
I love that they added the slight changes to the battle theme as your combo goes higher. The battle theme is so iconic but man it gets stale bc its the only thing you hear... as nice as the new slight change is I do wish that they expanded on it and maybe changed the instruments and tempo based on location. Not enough to be complete departure, but it would be SO nice if it was mixed somewhat different.
The opening video was definitely that way cause it was an old school demo video (think arcades). They did em for consoles back in the day cause they'd be left on in game stores.
I remember watching a run the original Super Mario RPG a couple years ago! Aaaaaaand by that I mean I scarcely remember any of it whatsoever, so it's going to be a delight to watch the remake with a (mostly) clean slate!

The first thing I thought of was this looked like FF7 but...in a wierd skin. The layout, the jank animations, the limited sfx. Looking at the wiki I understand why.
I’m not surprised we’ve gotten so much Mario this year especially since last year all we got was Mario and Rabbids and that awful football game. I personally want a Dynasty warriors game with Mario like what they did with Zelda but that’s never gonna happen
That "awful" football game? Excuse me? The Switch one might not have been as good as the Gamecube and Wii offerings, but Strikers games are always bangers and among the best sports titles involving Mario :x
@@asei231 and you can't tell me with a straight face that Mario Strikers doesn't involve magic and/or fantasy. The players enter the field through portals or by skydiving onto the pitch, and regularly fly into the sky to launch shots at the goal, and there's Mario Kart style items everywhere. FIFA, it is not.
@@MontananMusician sometimes i just dont want to talk and another times i physically cant LOL it usually only happens when im overwhelmed/overstimulated tho so i just do charades or like type it out 😭
in this game they at least have reactions to the mario mario entering houses of stranger, but i wouldn't care who it is no matter how famous they are if tehy just entering the house without permission would they get a punch in the face even if it is the mario mario
What a huge oversight to play the same song for every single battle. It's not even a good song , especially compared to some of the bangers in this game. I get it might have been like that in the original, so they wanted to stay true to it. But good lord, does it suck
I hate that one of the worst mechanics from paper mario origami king, the hidden blocks, of which there was barely an indication where they were, wasnt a one time thing. Atleast make it obv something s there Nintendo
You realize that this isn’t redoing them from Origami King, right? The original SNES game had hidden blocks, and this is a very faithful remake, so of course it’s going to include a major feature from the original game.
"Help me out, Chat" *finds hidden box immediately* "Thanks, Chat"
Best running gag.

I impulsively liked this comment solely because of the profile picture.
He said the same about Paper Mario TTYD, when the remake gets released I hope he tries that game as well

21 hours straight?

21 hours sessions? You mean like the release week for BG3. 😮💨

i think Rt didn't realized the game doesn't need a hard mode because the enemies get cracked for the second half of the game
well Mario’s last name is Mario… so even if it was a family house, it would still be “Mario’s House” 😂
It is???
@@spritemon98 Yep, his full name is "Mario Mario" and his brother's full name is "Luigi Mario".
@@Emmariscobar thats kinda funny
@@Emmariscobarthis originates from the live action mario movie which isnt canon
Wouldn’t it be called “The Mario House”?
the minecart segment is hilarious, because when it came out it was a mindblowing sequence and now its so sad
I really excited that RT is actually playing this game, I can add it to my Mario sleep playlist
Im glad that Im not the only one who has an RT Mario Sleep playlist
I have found my people I thought I was alone
My people! Favorites to fall asleep to? Mine are Super Star Saga and Paper Mario. :>
@@eve_lutionodyssey!! plus kirby and the forgotten land if that counts
@@eve_lution the Galaxies and Odyssey, although at this point whichever is newer lol ever since Wonder and this came out they are my new sleep ones

this is not one

I love that the Bob Ross remix is still used.
I could never get into the snes one, but I can tell the switch remake is very faithful. One of my favorite rpgs so far
i no longer see this game as "mario rpg redo" and now see it as "the game youtube spams playthrough videos with 32 views into my recommended"

@@milsharkieit doesnt feel like mario. mario is magical and fantasy, not football.

@@milsharkie fair enough but nonetheless i just feel like mario and football are not two things that go together
Mostly just watching this for the soundtrack and Dan's commentary 😊
I wonder if he’ll go for the 100 super jump. It’s tough, but the Super Suit is amazing.
Holy shit we were spared from the toad voice
mario is just like me fr (nonverbal)
Is that by choice or is it like an inability to speak?

I can't be the only one thinking the wooden puppet looks so much like the Everhood protagonist.
Yeah youre not the only one
p sure blue (everhood) was modelled after them so yeah
that might be fake news tbh i might be making that up but i swear i read it somewhere
@@Lucy-dg9enwouldn't it make more sense if Red was modelled after Geno?
frr when i saw geno i was like oh shit that's everhood, and now i love geno just because of that
As a McFan, I am utterly McRattled, shame on you Rumble Daniel Tumble
Mario is so smoll he's really cute looking in this game and IDK if it was intentional or not!
this game is older than me
Ive never played mario rpg so this is a first for me
5:09:29 what did he say for the eye? I couldn't really decipher what was said.
Eye of C'thulu from Terraria maybe?
I know it was a pretty normal thing back in the day, but that ONE battle theme playing OVER and OVER is getting very annoying
I wonder if there is a gambling area in this game
Yes, but nerfed. Blackjack was replaced by a memory matching game, and you can no longer pay for any of the games
oh no, they removed the actual gambling parts?
@@headphonics3052 yep. Otherwise this game would be banned in many countries.
that is a great reason to remove it
No time to watch but here's some engagement.

Mario did his best david blain
Is mario using child soldiers?.. cause mallow certainly seems like one 😅
youre suprised?
It's this, then Sekiro? Any chance that'll be Daisy Plays Sekiro And Dies Twice?
1996? Humans already existed back then?
It’s a conspiracy. Our alien overlords want you to believe that so you behave.

👍🙂
I wasn't planning to get this since I adore the original but holy shit there are so many QOL improvements I'm tempted to pick it up anyways.
