Y Button runs, X is your Menu and A is to talk. Since jumping is Mario’s calling card (naturally), you can freely jump to your heart’s content in Super Mario RPG by pressing the B Button. Super Mario RPG is an isometric, turn-based RPG (role-playing game) but it introduces action adventure elements that aren’t only unique, but very true to the Mario name. But remember that Sword? Naturally the tale evolves into a grand adventure where Mario will travel a very vast world in search of seven “Star Pieces” (The Seven Stars from the title) in a quest to destroy an all-new enemy and repair a world that grants wishes. Originally it is to retrieve the Princess who’s whereabouts are unknown after the shake-up at Bowser’s Castle.
Toad just happens to be there to pick up Peach and this is where Mario’s grand adventure begins. Mario is thrown into the Pipe House at his “Pad”, falling straight through the pipe on the roof and into the house.

Just as the battle is coming to a close though and Mario is about to free Peach of her peril, a brilliant scene takes place as a giant sword splits the sky and slams into the Castle itself, sending “Star Pieces” into seven different directions and throwing Mario, Peach and Bowser yonder. those who play the game will understand) while Peach hangs from the chandelier by a rope. After you make Mario’s way through the short Castle section, you will encounter Bowser’s Throne room and face off with the King of Koopa himself (and Kinklink. The opening scene shows Mario crossing the bridge to arrive at Bowser Castle, and from there it switches to gameplay.

If you are completely adverse to spoilers though then you may want to skip the intro, as not only does it reveal all the characters (who will be revealed in this review as well, just to let you know, as the game, manual and box don’t try to hide them) in addition to (and more spoiler worthy) also showing tons of locations from the game, including ones you won’t see until much later in the game. This intro is about five minutes long before you finally see the “Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Stars” title screen. That short opening is followed by what is perhaps one of the longest intros in gaming history (give it a look in the video above), a very cool montage of scenes from the game where the cast is introduced. Mario, of course, rushes off to the rescue in a very cool (and graphically impressive for the day) semi-3D scene where Mario seems to jump up and into the screen as he chases after her. One day Princess Toadstool (who would later be named “Peach”) is out in Mario’s garden when the sky clouds darken and who else but Bowser swoops down in his “Koopa Clown Car” (from Super Mario World) and snatches up his favorite Princess. Super Mario RPG is a game to be reckoned with and it seemingly has everything you’d want from a Super Nintendo RPG: Great graphics, great music, interesting story, a lovable cast of well-known and new characters, incredible unique gameplay (for it’s time), a huge quest with tons of mini-games and side-quests, enough secrets and hidden content that you almost assuredly won’t get it all on the first play through, a hilarious script with some of the best localization seen till that point.
