I tried. By god, I tried!
I've never enjoyed Mario RPG. As a kid, I found it simultaneously infuriating and tedious, and as an adult... My opinion hasn't changed.
You could say this is "baby's first JRPG" but I don't think it's even good for that, as even though most of it is brain-dead easy, it also features bizarre difficulty spikes, and starves you of MP early on. It's one of the most bizarrely balanced games I've ever seen. Also, you have to exhaust every character's dialogue like it's a damn Souls game, or you can miss essential items.
Thankfully, Nintendo took the elements of this that worked and made the excellent Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi games. So, I guess this gets one extra point for its influence and another extra point for the little dances the characters do on the level up screen.
4/10
P.S. sorry Geno fans but he sucks ass and always has. Generic nothing of a character. Mallow 4ever
