− | '''Super Mario RPG | + | '''Super Mario RPG''' is a [[Super NES]] game which acts as the first roleplaying game in the ''[[Portal: Mario Brothers|Super Mario]]'' franchise and is also the first ''Mario'' game featuring a comprehensive plot. The game was created jointly by Squaresoft, known for their ''Final Fantasy series'', and Nintendo. It blended the ''Mario'' world with traditional RPG elements and would later inspire two separate ''Mario'' RPG series. |

− | + | Made by Square Soft, the people behind many popular RPG series, this game combines RPG strategy with timing skill. Instead of simply choosing an attack, watching your character perform it and then watching your character take damage from the enemy, with timed hits you can press buttons at the right times to add more power to your attack or decrease the power of enemy attacks. There are also a plethora of entertaining minigames- like rolling down Midas River, racing Yoshis and chasing bearded men up hills. | |
− | + | Another landmark of this game is that both the princess and Bowser are playable after they join your party. It's noteworthy to see Bowser playable in the game. Although Peach was playable in the American Super Mario Bros. 2, this is the first time you can play as Bowser. Mario's other two teammates are original characters- [[Geno]] the possessed doll and [[Mallow]] the weather wizard who thinks he's a frog. | |

It also has a variety of memorable music. There are also comical elements to the game that prevent the plumber from becoming too serious. |

− | Despite being the original ''Mario'' RPG, no official sequel has been made. Instead, two other ''Mario'' RPGs were later made that each spawned their own respective subseries: ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. The former was originally made with the working title of ''Super Mario RPG 2'' before it became its own distinct game. Despite their differences, these RPGs do incorporate some elements from ''Super Mario RPG'', such as the timed hits | + | Despite being the original ''Mario'' RPG, no official sequel has been made.

Squaresoft and Nintendo have begun working together in following years, but there has never been any sign of a ''Super Mario RPG'' follow-up beyond a small cameo appearance made by Geno in the first ''Mario & Luigi'' game. |
