Well, seeing Inkana's current sig made me think of this unusual Squaresoft game. Square is known for making great RPGs, btw for anyone who didn't know. But this game was very ingenious, I thought. It's fun factor was way up there, and although the fact that the main char was a doofy plumber (never really did care for Mario very much) that didn't say a word, but only nodded Chrono Trigger style - I thought the story moved along pretty good and the gameplay itself was nice and smooth. I also love timed hits, and not only was it on the attack, but you could also defend with a timed hit. Did I mention that I love timed hits already?

yes mario rpg is probably one of the best rpgs ive played along with earth bound, and of couse ff3 being number 1. it had both a good story long gameplay and great grafics for a 16 bit system. and yeah the timed hits ive missed in all the other rpgs ive played, i still try to use it even when i cant lol

even though i never got finish the game entirely (stopped very near the end after collecting all the... you know... just to not to spoil it ), it was pretty fun

times hits were a pretty good idea in my opinion too. and mario not saying anything at all. then again, he didn't have to he's the action hero anyway...

That's ironic...cuz I was just playing it yesterday, and beat Booster's Tower too...now I must go through the wedding ceremony all over again *sigh*

great game ^_^

That really was a great game... I had no idea there was anyone else out there who had actually played it! ^__^ Bowser was classic... and Geno was cool, in a weird way... ^^;; My only complaint is that it's a very short game, about three days to beat tops. (That is, if you're following a normal human sleep pattern. ^_~) But all in all, what a cute game! ^__^ Oh boy, now I want to go play it again... ^^;;

Bowser rocks! Although I thought they were all cool (a true rarity in an RPG) I thought Bowser was the best...he was just so arrogant and...like himself. LOL Man, as many times as I've played that game, I wanna play it again! Oh Kenzooooo....the cake is after you...it's aliiiiiiive...

I thought bowser was the funniest, how he got overthrown from his kingdom.... What was the boss' name...uh...Smithy! That was it. He was cool. Very fun game.

Yeah, Geno was cool. He made up for Mallo's lameness. He was about as useful and cool as ... Cait Sith in my opinion. However, Princess could kick much butt if you gave her the right stuff.

I love that game too, i figured out all kinds of shortcuts in it, I didn't like Geno , my team was mario bowser and princess. i loved the timed hits too, and yes shinja FF3 RULEZ

cool my team was bowser mario and mallow most of the time


mallow owns

Take that, cake! It's dead now...and I just beat "Giant Calimari"! Hehe...I love SM RPG!

hmmm...

It appears as though I'm going ot play this game RIGHT NOW. (I remember all the other kids talking about it, but i never had an SNES) But now i do.

That game was a load of fun! It was the first RPG I ever played....although some say that it technically isn't an RPG 'cause of the timed hits...but I liked timed hits!

I need to play that game again....maybe.

Man, this is a really old thread (comparatively to myself) but I think I'll jump on anyway. Who would have thought there were so many people who liked Super Mario RPG? I couldn't tell you why, but the game was extremely fun.

Speaking of sequels, though, what did you guys think of Paper Mario? It isn't really like the rpg, but it had some of those elements, and (in my opinion) the same "fun" quality.

Well, let your humble opinion be joined by another. Any character development would have been appreciated by me. And you're right, it is in a different class.

But still, it was just fun, for some reason.

Actually, other than being used as items to get you places, almost all of the "helpers" were unneeded. Personally, once I got Bow and Watt I never used anyone else again.

That game was far too easy. It was fun and all, but like Inkhy pointed out: Crumm-- Uh, not so good character development. Bow was so awesome though, how you did that thing....(Spoiler buttons won't work for me.) Too bad I sold that game about a year or two ago. Meh, I kept the good ones. Here's my idea for a character:

- Bananaman - He dances hypnotically, and makes the opponent fall asleep, then after it wakes up, it gets paralyzed, then when cured from that, it gets frozen by a giant ball of ice, then it falls asleep again. Then Bananaman unveils his yellow shell and reveals the true fruit inside: Mushyfruitthing! ::Fancy music:: Mushyfruitthing mushes around, and makes the opponent hungry so they are hypnotized forever. You find Bananaman in Fruit Groves Garden Orchard.

Now that would've been cool

Yeah, I generally had Bow following me, just because it's fun to turn invisible for no apparent reason. But for some bosses with heavy armor or ones that damage those who touch them, I did bring out Watt.

*Goes to the Fruit Groves Garden Orchard*

Ink: Does this Bananaman work on bosses?

Spencer: Yes.

Ink: Fill up the rest of the slots in my inventory, please!

<--Dance, Bananaman! Dance!

Not to go overboard here, but...

is that Bananaman's original power? What does he get when you power him up? And what's his ability when you aren't in battles?

When not in battles: His yellow shell comes off and protects you from bad stuff

Powered up: Powered up is whenever Mushyfruitthing turns into Banana Pudding, and drowns your opponent is thick yellow pudding. Then the vanilla wafers come, and Mario eats the banana pudding.

Spencer: Bananaman! envelope that weird flying turtle in your strange yellow shell!

Bananaman: Si Senor!

Bananaman slurps the flying turtle into his strange shell, and then makes the opponent fall asleep, then after it wakes up, it gets paralyzed, then when cured from that, it gets frozen by a giant ball of ice, then it falls asleep again. Then Bananaman's victory song comes on, La Cucaracha!

Did I mention he spoke Spanish (kinda)
