Game Description
A historic collaboration between Nintendo and Square brought the best of both worlds together in Super Mario RPG for the Super Nintendo — a groundbreaking role-playing adventure that redefined what a Mario game could be. For the first time ever, the Mushroom Kingdom was transformed into a full-fledged RPG world, blending Square’s storytelling and battle systems with Nintendo’s unmistakable charm. Play as Mario on an epic quest to restore peace after the mysterious Smithy Gang shatters the Star Road, stealing the world’s wishes.
Released in 1996, Super Mario RPG dazzled players with its richly detailed isometric graphics, witty dialogue, and revolutionary turn-based combat system enhanced by timing-based inputs. Joined by Princess Toadstool, Bowser, and new characters Geno and Mallow, Mario’s journey across vibrant landscapes like Rose Town, Seaside, and Bowser’s Keep combines heartfelt storytelling with humor and personality at every turn. It’s a world where platforming, puzzle-solving, and RPG mechanics blend seamlessly, creating one of the most memorable experiences on the Super Nintendo.
As one of the final first-party SNES releases, Super Mario RPG remains a technical and creative triumph — a masterpiece that set the stage for the beloved Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series. Its fusion of traditional RPG depth with Nintendo’s joyful design sensibilities continues to captivate players and collectors alike. Simply put, this game is not just a classic — it’s a cornerstone of 16-bit innovation and one of the most treasured cartridges in the entire SNES library.
