After so many years of waiting to play Mario RPG, the time finally came and it was as magical as I thought it would be. It absolutely lives up to the hype.
It's not exactly a revolutionary RPG, nor is the narrative groundbreaking, but everything is so alive and full of character.
The action commands are gimmicky but not in a way that's obtrusive. In fact, they help enhance what is an otherwise - to its benefit - very simple combat system in a way that's super engaging. On top of that, the new Triple Moves are a perfect addition.
The soundtrack, both old and remade, are amazing, and the new visuals are absolutely stunning and modernize the original game's visuals in very authentic fashion.
I have a handful of minor criticisms with the game, but they're just that. Minor.
Overall, Super Mario RPG is a fantastic experience I would recommend to anybody, and is now one of my favorite games of all time.
...also, can we have Geno and Mallow in Mario Kart and Smash and a true sequel and everything else, pls?
