The game is still very colorful, so it doesn't look bad, but it's obvious how much the game is trying to be 3D. I personally don't mind it and I even think it adds a lot of charm to the look of the game, but you will not like how this game looks if you don't like that late 1990s / early 2000s 3D style.
However, this design choice does make it to where the game's visuals didn't age the best. You can actually find renders online of the 3D models for most of the enemies, characters, items, and even some of the weapons and armor your characters can equip in Super Mario RPG. As far as I know, everything in this game was modeled in 3D and then converted into sprites for the SNES, kind of like the Donkey Kong Country games. Super Mario RPG has a very distinct visual style. I'm hoping it at least shows up on the Nintendo Switch Online SNES game service.Īlright, let's talk about the actual game now. In my eyes, there's no better time for a remake or even a sequel of the original Mario RPG than now, but of course Square Enix and Nintendo have no real reason to care for this game so that probably wouldn't happen (would absolutely love to be proven wrong though). In the current age of Nintendo, there is no Mario RPG in sight Paper Mario games have moved away from the RPG formula since Sticker Star and the Mario & Luigi series has been in limbo since AlphaDream had to shutdown in 2019 due to bankruptcy. The other two Mario RPG series - Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi - carried the spirit of this game and I'd say that they're better in their own ways, but they just aren't the same. It's just very special to me, partly because of nostalgia and partly because it feels very unique. With that out of the way, yea Super Mario RPG is a very basic RPG (I even get why people would call it middle of the road or mediocre) but I really do enjoy this game a lot.
