A timeless RPG that's a personal favorite of mine. The combat in this game is simple to understand, but has a lot of depth thanks to the various strategies you can craft with the badge system, as well as action commands that are fun and satisfying to pull off. The story, while simple, is fairly well executed, and introduces many memorable and fun characters. This game's incarnation of Bowser and Peach in particular are some of my favorite interpretations of these characters as well. The writing as a whole is very witty and charming. My only real complaint with this game is it's prologue, which is a little slow and locks access to the game's action commands until the start of the first chapter. Thankfully the prologue isn't too long, and the rest of the game's chapters more than make up for it. If you haven't played this gem of a game, then I'd recommend you give it a try.
