With Zelda’s permission, which, thanks to Tears of the Kingdom, both are among the candidates for the best game of 2023, let me say this year has been Mario’s at Nintendo. In addition to Super Mario Bros. The Movie, we have the release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, another game of the year, and now it’s the turn of Super Mario RPG, a remake of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars released in 1996 for SNES, which is now available for Nintendo Switch.
Story Theme of Super Mario RPG
The story of Super Mario RPG begins with the kidnapping of Princess Peach by Bowser, and Mario rushing to her rescue. Very traditional. However, a greater enemy appears: Exor, the giant sword, crashes into Bowser’s castle and shatters the Star Road. Now, Mario’s mission is to recover the Star Pieces, thwart Exor and the Smithy Gang’s plans before it’s too late, and restore peace to the world. To achieve this, he must gather a group of heroes.

In this mission, Mario will be joined by Peach, Bowser, Mallow, and Geno. The first three are well-known, while the other two are new. Mallow is a sensitive but willing character who claims to be a frog, while Geno is a mysterious doll sent by a higher authority to repair the Star Road. Each character has their own abilities, and the combat team consists of three heroes.
In Super Mario RPG, battles are turn-based and begin when Mario collides with an enemy while exploring the map. Each turn offers a choice of four actions (Items, Attack, Special Moves, and Others). In addition to basic attacks, special moves can be used, varying by character, while powered-up moves will execute if the button is pressed at the right moment. Both moves can inflict more damage or have healing or damage reduction effects. Moreover, if the action is taken at the right time, the attack will damage all enemies at once.
As powered-up moves are used, a meter fills up, and once completed, the combined power of the three heroes can be unleashed with a triple move. This move changes depending on the team members and deals significant damage. As for the enemies, the Smithy Gang is made up of a bunch of villains in the form of weapons and has the support of some Goombas and Koopas, among other classic Mario franchise foes. After completing Super Mario RPG, the option to replay and fight the bosses will be unlocked.
If players want to take a break during the campaign, the title features a series of mini-games. There is also a bestiary to take a look at the monsters.
