    It is as amazing as the original. I highly recommend any old timers and new timers to pick up the game. Very easy yet rewarding gameplay, amazing music sound track, and a nice linear storyline. I am very happy with how this game came out to be.

    Got this after beating The Thousand Year Door and it just oozes with personality! Combat is similar and story is just as silly and interesting. Highly recommend if you like Paper Mario!

    This might be the best remake I’ve ever played. The visuals, the music, the gameplay have all been honed to perfection. The cute 3d cutscenes and the somewhat challenging (at times) gameplay is also very warranted. 10/10.

    When i heard this game was gettng remastered. I was excited and the remaster doesn’t disappoint. As the experience is fun from beginning to end. Hopefully the paper mario remake is just as good or even better.

    Super Mario RPG is such an AWESOME remake of the 1996 SNES classic. I love its updated visuals, controls, gameplay and story. I can't wait for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door to be released on the Switch

    A Gold Standard for Video Game Remakes

    This is one of the more underrated Mario games out there and if you really enjoy the Paper Mario games then I highly recommend picking this up as the Paper Mario games likely would not have existed without this game. I played the original version on the SNES over and over and over in my youth and this remake is a genuine, bona fide, true to source material remake and should be a beacon for other remakes to strive for if not attempting to completely alter the original game like the FF7 remake. There are a nice QoL additions and just enough new mechanics added to retain the original feel of the game while also bringing it to a modern standard. Highly recommend giving this adventure a go, it is extremely worthwhile.

    This is such a loving recreation of the game I loved. If you knew the game, pick it up... its a great way to reexperience it. If you've never played, you'll be pleased by the fun and humor contained within.

    Game was very nostalgic for me as it was one of the first RPG I have ever played back on the SNES, now I have it in the switch many years later- the graphics are great, combat was some great QOL updates and overall a fantastic experience, the only thing I wish I'd that it was longer - even with the extra post game bosses the game wasn't very long, but I very enjoyable ride the entire way. Highly recommend

    This game is exactly what i wanted it to be. I played the original back when it released, and this remake brings me right back to my childhood. the controlls are very crisp and precise, and the combat is just an improved version of the original. the style captures the playful side of the mario ip while still providing a challenge that feels good to overcome. the addition of little animated cutscenes to give memorable moments a new face is very well done, as they truly capture and add to a characters personality. this remake has done nothing but improve on an already amazing and great game. anyone who likes the RPG genere of games will love this game.

    This is the template on how you remake a game while staying true to the original and remaining fresh for new players, while exciting and surprising old players. Game mechanics stay the same while adding a new flare in the Triple Attack rewarded from successful timed attacks. Additionally, the updated graphics are gorgeous! This was one of my favorite games as a preteen, the remake is one of my favorites well into my 40’s. Fans of the originals, get this game! Those craving old-school turn based RPGs, get this game! Anyone casually interested, get this game!

    What can I say? This is the remake of the classic Mario RPG for the SNES. Not only did they capture the essence of the original, they actually decided to add some new things to spice things up. Even if you are new to the title, I highly recommend this RPG. I am a long time veteran RPG gamer, well before the original game came out. But for many of my friends and other people, this game has been their gateway RPG. I think this is for a great reason, because it has a very approachable aspect, yet still appease the more seasoned RPG gamer. Its one of those rare games that appeals to a wide audience.

    This game is basically the old version but with a new coat of paint. And it is great. The story and characters are charming as ever. Definitely a switch must have.
