Mario, Bowser, and Peach partner up to repair the wish-granting Star Road in this approachable role-playing adventure.

Team up with an oddball group of heroes to save Star Road and stop the troublemaking Smithy Gang. This colorful RPG has updated graphics and cinematics that add even more charm to the unexpected alliance between Mario, Bowser, Peach, and original characters Mallow and Geno. Enter (or revisit) this world of eccentric allies and offbeat enemies in an RPG for everyone.

Jump through a colorful world and give attacks some extra oomph in battle!

Explore the vibrant environments with your party and jump towards your next goal! Run into monsters to enter turn-based battles with your party of three. Press the button at the right time for a satisfying dose of extra damage or helpful guard.

Super Mario RPG launches for Nintendo Switch Nov. 17.
Crazy, I saw some rumors floating around but didn't even bother mentioning them here because a remake seemed so unlikely, yet here it is!

I don't remember the last time I've been so hyped for a game. Now SMRPG2 doesn't seem so impossible after all...assuming this sells adequately, of course.

If I had to nitpick I'd say I'd say the menus seem sterile compared to the original's. I'd also have kept closer to the weird, unique little chibi look the characters had, and the texture of them (they seemed almost claymation-esque). But hey, I'm not complaining.

My initial reaction about 4.5 hours in:
The new battle mechanics are fun (the timed-hit chains and triple moves), but they make the game much easier, and the original wasn't exactly a difficult game to begin with. So far I prefer the original over the remake, but I am enjoying the remake for what it is and still recommend it for new players who don't have access to the original and don't want to emulate it. For experienced players, wait until it's on sale.

The timed hits are one of the things that make Super Mario RPG one of my favorite turn-based RPGs, and I do still enjoy the humor, so those are refreshing to revisit.

I think the biggest mistake they made was adding an easy mode but no hard mode, I wonder what the odds of them adding one might be. Pretty low, I assume.

Agreed. I would love a hard mode.

(suggestion for Nintendo company: amend this game with option of using "Y" button as a (possibly more comfortable) way of making Mario run in this game)

I've been taking my time with the remake, I've been enjoying it so far! I'm quite thankful that they added a button indicator for the Yoshi race mini-game... but my god I still hate that mini-game lmao

Still looking forward to the post-game superbosses o: (no spoilers of course)
