    Happy 21st Birthday, Super Mario RPG! This was the first role-playing game I ever beat. I have so many fond memories of the game. Making this episode was an absolute joy.
    My goal is that if you have not played this game, watching the video will convince you to give it a shot. Enjoy!

      It's rough on us. Sure you can buy an everdrive, repoduction cart and that stuff, but the quality cart is expensive.
      My advice, get a job and slowly accumulate money to afford a game here and there.
      Try and find deals in flea markets, Goodwills and places like that if you can. Sometimes you could negotiate prices in a mom and pop retro store if you're lucky.
      Worst case scenario, emulate it. If you REALLY want to play it, that's the cheapest way I can imagine.

      Im a college student and i do work fortunately i just dont want to spend a whole lot on certain things. I i usually like to play a little game i call the market.
      You wait to see what goes up in price and what goes down
      for example:
      The pokemons games were at incredibly high prices last summer and now they've gone down in value a whole lot

    This game pushed me to learn how to read when I was a child. When my parents got it for me originally I didn't know how to read, but once I got far enough into the game to where I understand I needed to read to get through the game, I pushed myself to learn how to read just so I could play through this game.

    I like that when Square wanted to put traditional medieval weapons in, Nintendo was firm in saying that such things don't belong in the Mario world.

      Same for me but with Paper Mario 1 and 2 but sadly on every other Mario RPG video I saw it was full of people who LOVE the Mario RPGs but couldn't even care for Square, Final Fantasy or Turn Based RPGs so for them the Mario RPGs is the only type of RPGs they enjoy and honestly when it comes to Super Mario RPG vs TTYD and the Mario and Luigi series I remember a reddit comment that honestly describes it well
      "People who love the Mario franchise will enjoy TTYD or Mario and Luigi more
      People who love JRPGs and Final Fantasy and don't mind a bit of Mario will enjoy Super Mario RPG more
      M&L and TTYD feels like a Mario game while Super Mario RPG feels like a Square game"
      and for me when it comes to Mario RPGs I prefer Super Mario RPG now because I feel like the pacing feels better in RPG compared to other Mario RPGs like TTYD where I feel it kinda holds your hand a bit
      for me my favorite JRPGs is kinda a tossup between EarthBound and Final Fantasy IX for me rn but may change over time

      Yeah, I played it back in the 90s, I think we rented it or a friend had it. I thought "RPG" meant rotated-plane graphics or something, referring to the isometric camera angle. So when I realized it was turn based combat I lost interest and didn't play much more. Now that I'm older and have more experience with RPGs in general I really want to play it, which I can do on my SNES mini.

      @varkey42 Because there were different laws about videogames. And in Europe, at the time, the console worked at 50hz due to PAL standard, so gameplay was slower but, at least they could fix music timing. At the time release an rpg in europe in only english language was not a wise idea, because many countries can't understand an heavy spoken game.
      In fact till Final Fantasy 7 jrpg were not popular in Italy, because the first gaming generation of children (born in the at the start of 80's) didn't know enough well english until late 90's and the localization in italian language was a rarity. I suppose it is the same for other non english countries.

    Preach. When SMRPG came out, I was well into high school and had kind of lost interest in the Mario franchise, but this one really captivated me. It really had a way of triggering my brain's reward center, as there were all sorts of cool permanent power ups and pieces of equipment to find if you were thorough. The combat system was slick. The story was interesting, too: It sort of takes a left turn at the end and gets a bit dark. It's a shame Geno never became an iconic character; he's a total badass.

    I'd say Paper Mario is probably a spiritual sequel in one way, while Mario+Luigi is a spiritual sequel in a different way. Like Mario+Luigi leveraged more of the timing based attacks, while reducing the party to just Mario and Luigi. Paper Mario took the "collect 7 magical plot devices" storyline, and party system in another direction.
    Overall however, I would want to see a proper Super Mario RPG 2. Paper Mario seems to have completely lost it's way as of Sticker Star, (Super Paper Mario lost the art direction, Sticker star lost the combat direction entirely.)
    I have all of these RPG's. But the Super Mario RPG is still the best one, with 1000 year door and SuperStar Saga probably being the best versions of their respective series.

    Wow I forgot that I had played this game until I saw the gameplay. Instant nostalgia. My older cousin was obsessed with this, and I watched them play when I was 4-5 years old. They eventually got into programming at a very young age and had made their own RPG at 11 or 12 - never appreciated how impressive that was until years later. Unfortunately they distanced themselves from family while going through a personal transition, moving to SV as a young adult. I haven't seem them in 15 years, but always wish I could have congratulated them on what they've been able to achieve following their passion and convictions. Proud of you, CF. Hope to see you again one day.
