      Already 12 hours in so I'm going to complete this week. Great remaster of an already GREAT game, probably in my top 3 from the SNES era right there with Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI.
      What it "lacks" in story and other RPG elements it more than makes up in the fun/humor department.
      My only "complaint" remains the difficulty. It was already easy on the SNES and the remaster it's even easier due to the splash damage even if you decide to not use "super team skills" like I'm doing.
      100% recommended to RPG fans and maybe the best one to get new people into the genre if they are not familiar with it or are too young to start with more "adult" rpgs.
      Mario RPG + Mario Wonder = what a year for Mario, and if you add Sea of Stars to the mix then you have an amazing trio of "retro games".

      I still own the original for the snes and have finished the game more times than I can count.
      Preordered a physical copy of the remake and am about half way though the game and I love it as much as I did the first time I played the original.

    I think the worst thing anybody could say about this remaster is that it's too easy. But that's the thing, it's not meant to be a difficult RPG. It's meant to be a fun, light-hearted game. And I think the amount of people we're seeing that are praising it who've never played it before is testament that it's just a well-designed, solid game. I remember playing Chrono trigger very shortly after playing Mario RPG. This was before the 2000s and I'll be honest. I felt like I enjoyed Mario RPG more and had fonder memories of it. You don't need a difficult or complicated experience to have a good time.

      Yeah, I'm not sure if you are talking specifically about the review but I said it was simple in terms of gameplay mechanics rather than easy. I agree though, difficult doesn't automatically mean better. Glen

      I grew up with the original and it's one of my favorite games of all time. The remaster is very faithfully done, but perhaps a little easy. On the original, I always die at least once about halfway through (even today on a replay), but not so on the remaster. Maybe I just grinded more this time around, but on the original you couldn't dodge enemies' magic attacks at all and I suspect that's where the difficulty change came in.
      Aside from that, really the only differences I noticed are some changed names/dialogue (Toadstool to Peach, Koopa Troop to Bowser's Minions, timed hits to action commands, stuff like that), and the action command combo thing and gauge are both new as well. Plus you couldn't swap party members mid-fight in the original.

    I saw the ads for Super Mario RPG in a magazine (good old times...), I could not believe that a game could look so good. It impressed me so much that I dreamt about it for days, imagining what it would play like!
    I now have a SNES Mini and might play it there, but the idea of finally getting to own it physically (albeit with a terrible cover art) might make me take the plunge.
    Thanks for another excellent review!

      If they made a sequel for this game I would probably ascend.
      Also, having Luigi replace Mario as the star would be pretty damn cool. Maybe even getting Mario as a playable party member later in the game?
      Watching Luigi do the same silent routines Mario did in RPG would be a treat. I'll be it a little bit more nervous

    This game absolutely blew my mind as an 11 year old. I think it is the game that got me into RPGs. It was really hard to find a copy, but occasionally there was one at a rental store. I remember renting it a few times over several weeks. It made me fall in love with the RPG genre. My cousin randomly surprised me with the remastered version and I'm really looking forward to going back to my childhood for a short time.

    Mario RPG was my absolute favorite game growing up, and still is my favorite game. I wished for years that they would remaster it for a different system since its so insanely expensive to buy it for super Nintendo now. I wasnt sure if the improved graphics on switch would make it lose the nostalgia feeling to me, but seeing your review makes me want to buy it after all. Thank you :)

    👍 I think Nintendo did a great job on this Remastered remake of Super Mario RPG. I played the original when it first came out in the 90's. It was and still is one of my all time favorite games on the Super Nintendo along with Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2. I hope Nintendo will do Remastered remakes of both of those games for the Switch too.

    I never got the chance to play the original, since we skipped from the NES to N64 in my home growing up. I'm really enjoying the game so far. The graphics look terrific, and I enjoy the bits of humor and the personalities of different characters. The timing can be a bit tricky for the extra attack/defense boosts during battle, but it's not too bad. Overall, I'm having a blast (at least, whenever I can drag myself away from Astral Ascent... seriously hoping you guys cover that one!).

    It's a wonderful remake with a solid visual upgrade and added modern touches like QoL improvements , a beastiary, and a journal to keep track of the story so far. I believe there is also an optional challenge mode with harder bosses for players who wishes to try it.
    There's something to be said about a game that doesn't overstay its welcome, not every game needs to be 100+ hours. I would complete more RPGs if more games were like SMRPG
