Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

The very first RPG's I've ever played were turn-based, so at the time I enjoyed this game! However aftering playing the secret of mana series, chrono trigger, and world of warcraft (lol, if wow is an RPG)I find this RPG to be boring. It isn't just because it is turned based, but also the annoying encounters that happen when you run into a mob.

If they would of made this RPG in a attack quick format, as well as not in encounter form I would love it!

This game isn't worth the average 30$ that you see it for on ebay I only typed that last line because this ten line thing is complete BS. Anyone else feel me?

It was this game that lured me into getting turn-based RPGs (Final Fantasy, Xenosaga, Lunar, Hack). Created by the same people who made Final Fantasy a reality, and released by Nintendo, this was the last great SNES game ever. I rented this game from a local Blockbuster and enjoyed the game play, the graphics, the music, but not the difficulty. As you level up in the game, the enemies become harder to kill, thus I never finished the game. Compared to other RPGs, this is no easy piece of cake. Yet it provided hours of fun for the casual gamer who preferred Zelda. A classic of the 90's, and a must-have for fans of Mario, Final Fantasy, and turn-based RPGS in general that anyone can play.

Great game! Kept me going for a looooooooong time. I can't wait until they make it into a GBA version! This is Mario's best adventure, namingly because it is: A) An RPG B) You can play as new characters (I.E: Bowser, Mallow, ect.) and C) Great Story and Humour. Good length and mystery. 11/10

Hands down the best game I have ever played for SNES. I am not a big video gamer, in fact I basically suck at most, but this one I love. It's so cute and charming, and funny! Full of cute little gags. But don't get me wrong this is no child's game. There are puzzles even to challenge adults alike. The only reason I would recommend keeping a SNES around is for this game. The graphics may not come close recent game systems, but I have never played a game that has come close to this game's charm and playability.

What makes Super Mario RPG different from the other Mario games is that it's more fun. You are Mario. After saving Princess Toadstool from Bowser yet again, a giant sword crashes into Bowser's castle, sending the three of them off to different places in the world. You have to defeat the sword, from the infamous Smithy gang, and save Toadstool yet again.

The graphics look too good to be true. It doesn't look like a 16-bit system. The replay value is stupendous. You can never grow tired of it. You know what you're supposed to do, but there are so many other littler things that you may bypass the first time (such as Yoshi Island or the casino). You cannot compare it to Super Mario World; they are two completely different games. Super Mario World is a side-scroller; in RPG you can move freely. That opens up a whole new dimension to video games.

Along Mario's path to Smithy, he meets Mallow, a "frog" who cannot jump, Geno, a doll from outer space, Bowser (yes, even he joins the group), and eventually, Toadstool (who is quite a formidable fighter). Each one of them has their strength and weaknesses. The seven worlds you go through are memorable. Something else that is unique is that you may defeat a boss in world 1, and meet him again in world 6. There are more than just 5 recurring characters. You also learn about each character (like Mallow's past), and (this may sound ridiculous for a video game), you care about the characters. Find me another game that does that.

RPG is the best game ever created. I was not a big RPG fan, but I liked Mario, so I bought it. I love it a lot, and I know a lot of other Mario fans can justify with me with saying this is the best video game out there. If you have some spare change and a SNES around, buy this immediately.

My rating: 10/10
