Super Mario RPG - Nintendo Switch (US Version)

Very good remake nothing Censored that I could tell and I've played the original 30+ times, basically is a 1 to 1 remake with the original but with some quality of life features with gorgeous new visuals and an amazing new soundtrack (also contains music player and original SNES soundtrack uncompressed!) A must play for Mario fans and New players alike actually has a heartfelt story with a soul very good game for children!

This was my first RPG I remember playing back in 1996. It launched my love of turn based role playing games. I think I beat this game a few dozen times on the Super Nintendo when I was 12. I have very fond memories of this game. So when I heard it was being released on the switch I was very excited. I broke one of my cardinal rules of game buying with this. I pre-ordered it. Nintendo rarely has launch issues with games but I still try to avoid pre-ordering games. But I couldn't help myself with this one. The game is excellent. They upgraded the graphics which may have taken away some of the charm of the original but I think it looks great. They even kept in the 2d OG mario Easter Egg in Boosters Tower, and pixelated Culex boss. The game play was exactly as I remembered it and still a joy to play. Nintendo made a few quality of life improvements to the game. First they created a Breezy mode which makes the game just a bit easier. It lifts the item cap, makes the timed attack window larger and more forgiving, and makes the enemies easier (I have my 6 year old playing on this setting). Other QOL improvements include adding an icon to help with timed attacks. A chest in Mario's house to carry extra items where in the original they would just be lost. The game now auto saves pretty frequently (usually as you enter a new area), so you don't have to search out a save location. They also added a upgrade to the signal ring that makes it easier to find hidden treasures, that can be acquired later in the game. They also added post game play, making the bosses more challenging and adding new weapons and gear. Most of the online reviews to this game forget it's an introductory RPG meant for children. They nitpick and complain about the lack of challenge. Super Mario RPG is a fantastic game that will take around 13 hours to beat, but it's a great 13 hours. If you played this game in the 90s get it. If you have a child and are looking to get them a forgiving turn based RPG to learn, get this game. If you are looking for 13 hours of fun without the grind of games like Final Fantasy, get this game. If you want a challenging grueling slog that will take hours off your life and leave you angry most of the time, get Dark Souls.

This is an absolutely phenomenal, hyper faithful, and even improved version of Super Mario RPG's Legend of the Seven Stars. One of the greatest RPGs ever made. In some ways, it's probably the greatest Mario game ever made. This remake only changes one tiny relatively insignificant thing in a way that I find questionable, it changes several things in ways that make sense and are probably objectively better, and then it makes a number of dramatic improvements that feel like they should have been there all along in the original game from 30 years ago. Everything looks gorgeous. The game is absolutely delightful and hilarious. The music is iconic and infectious. You're going to hear it in your brain for the rest of your life. And that's a GREAT thing. It brings life to the Mushroom World In a way that few games ever have, even in the 30 years since this game originally came out. It makes Mario into a fun character. It gives personalities to icons like Peach and Bowser. This is the game that introduced various features of these characters that we would go on to see in later games, especially stuff like Peach being equipped with umbrellas and frying pans, or treating fireballs as sort of a default power that Mario has up his sleeve, even without picking up a Fire Flower (as we see in Super Smash Bros). This game also introduces a number of unique new characters who are absolutely fantastic, and deserve to be in dozens of more games. Geno, Mallow, Croco, Booster, Johnny, etc. In a year when The Legend Of Zelda:Tears Of The Kingdom came out, Super Mario RPG's remake ended up being my Game Of The Year. As great as TOTK is, and as much crazy big ambitious stuff and complexity as it rings to the table, it falls faaaaar short of achieving its true potential, and there are huge swaths of that game that feel lacking and incomplete. Super Mario RPG does not have that problem for even a second. Everything in Super Mario RPG feels like it is living VERY close to the maximum potential of the Mario franchise. Every second is fun. Everything is interesting. The whole world is full of stuff to find and do, and people to talk to, and silly jokes and gags, and interesting little story bits. How many dungeons and boss fights are there in Zelda TOTK? Maybe 10 if you count one instance of each species of big regular monster (Ganon, Temple bosses, Hinox, Gleeok, Talus, Flux Construct, etc?) I have literally no idea how many boss fights Super Mario RPG has. There are so so many. Super Mario RPG has like 4-5 boss battles JUST within the tutorial area. I can think of at least 30 bosses in Super Mario RPG, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch. It's not a perfect game, but for a game that came out 30 years ago, and has only been minimally upgraded in this remake, it is SHOCKINGLY close. Of all the Mario games that exist, this one is One of the must-have games in the series, alongside: Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with all the DLC, Super Mario Bros Wonder,.....and the remake of Super Mario 64 that they absolutely desperately need to make..... This is better than the original Mario Bros, the original Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros The Lost levels, Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, all the Paper Mario games, all the Super Mario Land games, all the Mario Party games, almost all of the Mario Kart games, all the Mario sports games, etc etc etc. This belongs in that core handful of Mario games that every gamer needs to play to understand how phenomenal Mario can truly be. It's a tiny thumbnail-sized game cartridge full of happiness. 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you are expecting a typical side scroll 2D jump, jump, jump Mario game, you will be disappointed (watch the trailers). Basic Plot: Mario and his team must join together and save all the people in the mushroom kingdom from the evil Smithy, a monster who destroyed the star road so that people’s wishes will never come true (simplified version). General review: The game stays true to the original SNES title with minor changes and quality of life improvements. The game looks fantastic and plays true to the original. The plot and story are much more complex compared to typical Mario saves Peach games. The characters are extremely unique and bring a whole lot of personality to the Mario world and characters we love. It is not an open world game, but there are still quite a few areas to explore with secrets and treasures to find. Gameplay: The fight sequences use a turn based style where the three people in your party take turns to attack before your enemy (s) will have their turn to counter attack (simple explanation of it). The turn based style can be repetitive and boring if you are not accustomed to this gameplay or looking for something more fast paced. Gameplay: This is an RPG so you do gain experience points as you slay enemies and level up your party members. When you level, you will have 3 options to pick from: physical attack/defense, magical attack/defense, or health/hp. Whichever you pick, the stats within that category will increase. For an RPG, it is a very simple leveling system and easy to understand without getting overly complex. My experience: Personally, I played/beat the original SNES countless times and was able to beat this remastered version to 100% within 12 hours… but again, experience was on my side. I would say for someone new to this, it could take them 10 - 20 hours - a shorter and easier RPG with a captivating plot. Final thoughts: It is an easy RPG for experienced players but you play for the story (or nostalgia), not the difficulty. If you are looking for a good, easy introduction to RPGs, this is a good game to start with for not being overly complicated. If you do not like turn based attacks, RPGs, or just looking for a typical fast paced challenging Mario game, this is not the game for you. 5 stars for a 1-1 remaster of the original (with additional, new gameplay content) and what I expected the game would be.

The developers of this game knew exactly what it would take to please the fans of this game. Simply put, this game is the best remake that I have played in the past couple of years. It has so much love poured into it, every detail that I expected to be here from the original game is here- and additional content. I was incredibly scared that the hype for this game was going to end up causing it to be a bad game, but that is not the case. This is a fantastic game that caters to both fans of the original game and those who are wanting to get into RPGs. I have seen several 1 star reviews, and to be completely honest those reviews seemed to have come from those who have never played an RPG before and expected simply another Mario game coming into this. I can't think of anything that this game doesn't improve upon from the original game. The RPG mechanics are engaging, even difficult at times with having the player time certain actions within battles to drastically change the gameplay. However, it does a fantastic job with the ! indicators telling the player when to properly time their button presses. The story is of course a remake of the original title on the SNES, however I believe that its humor still stands today. I can't really say many games today make me laugh the way they intended or at least without a slight awkward feeling at a forced joke, but this game actually makes me smile more often than not. This game has some seriously funny moments, and the modernized visuals make scenes much more entertaining. The only negative element I can even come up with for this game is the slight frame drops when the scene gets too intense with effects and too many models. Aside from that, the game runs at seemingly a solid 60 fps, with 30 fps for the cutscenes. Aside from the random moments of lag, the game is beautiful and runs fantastic. I without a doubt recommend this game.

This version was mostly faithful to the original. Mostly because at Great Guy's casino they took out Mario gambling aspect: no more black jack sadly and when you play the slots you don't have to pay to play. So unlike real casino. I understand that blackjack has been associated with casinos and children learning gambling, but it was kind of redundant removing it when the casinos is still called a casino and that word itself implies gambling. Also the beetle chase at Booster's Hill is still a form of game of chance because you pay 50 coins for the beetle box but it's a gamble that you may not catch a beetle worth 50 to break even. Overall, I enjoyed reliving apart of my childhood. I know somewhere online you can play the original on your cellphone, but I imagine maneuvering around and doing special moves would be harder.

Perfect remake of a classic game not many people remember! Def worth a grab

The cartridge for the game was corrupt and did not work beyond a certain point. The game was stuck and did not work even after multiple trials. Waste of money. The vendor did not respond to the complaint. Do not recommend buying from the vendor.

Exactly as advertised, I loved this game as a kid and the remake graphics are insane!

Never played the SNES version, so it is a great and refreshing experience!

Chegou MUITO rápido, quase 1 semana de antecedência. Jogo perfeito, novo, lacrado e original. Excelente game!
