Item Description

A wooden doll possessed by a star spirit, a puffy cloud boy convinced he is a tadpole, and Bowser himself, sulking after a giant sword crashes into his keep: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars assembles the strangest party in Mushroom Kingdom history, and that is exactly why people still talk about it. Square built the game for Nintendo in 1996, bringing the studio's Final Fantasy know-how to Mario's world at the height of the Super Nintendo's RPG golden age, and the result is funny, inventive and unlike any Mario adventure that came before it.

Battles are turn-based, but they never feel passive. Press the button at the right moment as an attack lands and it hits harder; time a press as an enemy strikes and Mario shrugs off part of the damage. Those timed hits became a signature of the Mario RPGs that followed, and here they make even routine fights feel like a little rhythm game. Geno's beams, Mallow's thunderbolts and Princess Toadstool's healing give the party real tactical range, while the isometric, pre-rendered 3D look lets Mario jump, climb and sniff out invisible treasure boxes in a way that felt startlingly modern on 16-bit hardware.

The Smithy Gang has shattered the Star Road, and gathering the seven Star Pieces carries Mario through Rose Town, the mines of Moleville, the cloud kingdom of Nimbus Land and the strange halls of Booster Tower, home of the eccentric Booster, who would much rather marry the princess than fight anybody. Along the way come a runaway mine-cart ride, a shark pirate named Johnny, a wedding crashed in the most chaotic way possible, and a hidden optional boss, Culex, who shows up with Final Fantasy-style music and art as a wink to Square's other famous series. Yoko Shimomura's score bounces between jaunty town themes and battle music that sticks in your head for decades.

The cartridge carries real history, too. It was the last time Square and Nintendo worked together for years, it is the direct ancestor of Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi series, and it was cherished enough that Nintendo rebuilt it from the ground up for Switch in 2023. Playing the original on a Super Nintendo means hearing Shimomura's music as first composed and seeing the sprite work that launched a whole branch of the Mario family tree.

About the game

A JRPG entry in the Super Mario franchise in which Mario meets many unlikely allies in order to jump and fight his way through the Mushroom Kingdom and collect stars to repair the Star Road, the pathway that grants people's wishes, which was destroyed by Smithy, the otherworldly entity that hijacked Bowser's castle and threw the Kingdom into disarray.
