Absolutely a great time for RPG and Mario fans alike! The art is beautiful and its a ton of fun so far! Never played the original but this one’s a great time!

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.

Super Mario RPG is an incredible remake from the original Legend of the Seven Stars. Everything almost plays better than the original. My only complaint is some of the mini games are janky. The reworked music is amazing, the zoomed in cutscenes add depth, combat works better than before. Overall a greay experience. This gives me hope that Nintendo will release more Mario style RPG game I would love to see a new Mario and Luigi game on the Switch.

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

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.

Great old school RPG from Square. The graphics are spot on to the original SNES, only with much better quality and higher resolution. This is essentially the same as the original, so if you liked that you'll love this. The graphics can get a bit choppy in places, particularly with many characters on the screen (like the climb to Bean Valley with all the Koopa Troopas). The game is pretty easy, even compared to some of the more modern easy RPGs, which is unusual for the time it was released on SNES. Very similar to later games in the Mario and Luigi series on GameBoy/DS (so much so, I think some of the music is shared/reused). If you've never played the original but enjoy silly fun RPGs then you should definitely play this game.

I loved this game a ton back on the SNES, and it looks even better on switch. The one complaint I do have is that the game is quite short, so is definitely not a game I reccomend for more than $35 - but you can often find it around that price now.

Perfect nostalgia gut punch. It's an admittedly short game overall, but when we were kids and awful at videogames it was definitely a 30+ hour experience with multiple resets to get certain hidden chests and other things. Overall the game can probably be beaten within 10 or so hours on normal mode due to the added features (visual cues for action commands and triple attacks) and slightly faster on easy mode (which it really didn't need). If you take the time to 100% everything, it might take 5-6 hours longer depending on how long it takes to get to 100 super jumps. So I think the main downside to the game is the $60 price point. I happily paid it, but for someone new to the game it might seem a little expensive

In 1996 Square, original developers of Final Fantasy, took a stab at making a Mario RPG. Now it has been remastered. All the quirks and charm, the tone, the oddities, have seemingly come forward. I never played the original, but the feeling of era unmistakable. Mario Jumps! So we'll need jumping. RPGs have combat, so we'll need our signature turn based random encounters. Platforming and puzzles! Thank goodness! The fights can get old. An odd Isometric camera angle that allows for "3d" interactions. The game is oodles of odd and creative fun. Even the bad guys in the Super Mario RPG are playful. Funny in their human problems, it doesn't matter if they are a giant turtle or a disembodied suite of armor that tickle-tortures the town elder. This is a game that knows what it believes and what it wants to offer. I give it a strong five stars, nearly knocking one for the mass amounts of redundant combat, but if you play JRPGs this will likely be mild. The game is short by genre standards, respecting your time and only keeping the best stuff. Great mini games and lovely exploration, with a bit too much silly combat. Have fun!

This remake stays faithful to the original while upgrading the graphics to a modern day release.

Absolutely fantastic game. The nostalgia was heavy and the quality of life improvments were incredible. A great starter rpg. Best buy delivery was perfect, day of release with immaculate condition.

I love this game. It’s very fun to play Super Mario RPG. It has a lot adventures amazing

I love how this is the exact game as the 90's, but with better graphics (obviously). The music is remastered, but you can switch the original SNES OST. They also have an easy mode so that you can enjoy this masterpiece without too much stress. Perfectly timed attacks affect all enemies to make the battles go faster is a nice change. Also, timed button presses build up a meter to unleash a powerful attack or boost special to your party.

Once I heard this was being made and released, all my inner child wanted to do was play it. Got it on release day, OH MY WORD!!!! This filled a void left from 1996!!! Story and gameplay are almost identical, with some added goodies in battle mode and cut scenes. Love the new look, and love the added hard mode once the game is beaten the first time. Nintendo was very considerate with allowing the choice of new or original music with this game and simplified the menu options for more detail oriented. My kid is also loving this game as well, as this is her first RPG game. Thank you Nintendo!! This big kid is happy!!

This a mostly-faithful remake of the 1996 Super Nintendo classic. Graphics are updated in full 3D and the music has been re-arranged, although you can opt to to use the original soundtrack if that floats your boat. To those new to the game, this is a role-playing game that was originally developed by the studio that created the Final Fantasy series of games, so it plays very similarily to that. Only main difference from the original is the addition of team-based special moves and optional boss rematches once you complete the main story. Have fun!

This remake is as true to the original as it can get. It’s relatively short compared to modern games, but it’s dense, engaging, and best of all, a ton of fun.

This is by far one of my favorite games from the SNES! They really captured the greatness it had on the remake. Its a shame Square Enix(Squaresoft) no longer works with Nintendo because they made amazing games together

What a classic . Mario RPG, or as many fans remember it Legend of the Seven Stars, was a memory for so many. One of the last few collaborations of Squaresoft and Nintendo you can tell the creative ideas merged together. The music and gameplay are just as polished as before with a few welcome additions. It is a short game but if you love Mario and classic RPGs, get this

Good remake of the original SNES version. Game is short, but the best option if you are new to the RPG realm of gaming. Worth a purchase especially if you catch it on sale.
