This is the definitive way to experience Super Mario RPG.

The remixes of songs are great, capturing the fun of the original compositions while adding more life to them. Plus, you get the option to listen to the old soundtrack if that's more your thing!

The visuals in this game are superb. This is easily the cutest the cast has ever looked, and Nintendo would be fools to not make plushies of these incarnations of these characters. The silly dances characters do when their friends level up will live rent free in my mind forever.

The gameplay got some really neat enhancements. You see when to time hits and blocks now, and there's a combo system to encourage good timing by giving you buffs in fights! There's also new triple moves that you can perform, which can do things like prevent damage or attack all enemies. Everything feels natural and great to use. Once you get into the groove of this game's combat system you'll be pulling off crazy moves constantly. Being able to swap party members during fights is also a great quality of life feature that ensured that all characters got their proper screen time.

They also added a post game to this, scattering some interesting fights in it. These will definitely challenge your approach to combat, making you consider the greater aspects of your party composition.

Honestly this game was a joy from start to finish, and I can't recommend it enough. If you haven't played this game yet, go do it!
