Super Mario RGP: Legend of the Seven Stars


I got to say I love this game! It's very exciting! Well if you haven't heard about it then you must be thinking, "Oh okay it's just another Super Mario game where you go through the levels. Than you get to each ending guy and blah blah blah same thing!" Now I'm not saying that doing the same old thing is bad, I mean it's Super Mario for petes sake! Although doing the same thing can be fun, sometimes doing something different is even better. This game, my friend, is definitely something different!

You see instead of having level after level of pure awesomeness, this game is in fact a true RPG. There are more than three boxes of dialog, (that mind you, in the original games only come after you've defeated an ending guy, and usually ended with "But the princess is in another castle!"), and instead of killing people by jumping on them, you actually get in a battle with them! I'm talking the kind of battles where you can strategize and such wonderful things! Now I have your attention don't I?

So this game starts off with such an 'original' beginning. Peach gets kidnapped. Wow, didn't see that one coming. Of course I'm just joking around. I mean it wouldn't be a real Mario game unless Peach did get kidnapped! The one who does the deed is, of course, Bowser! Personally he's always been my favorite in all the games! He's just too helpless! I mean even in this game he isn't the all mighty and powerful ending guy! That title goes to . . . well let us not spoil that little tid bit of information shall we?

Anyways! Well Mario goes off to save Peach, and guess what? He does! Not too far into the game you save Peach! She joins your party along with a certain bad guy. Bowser shows his sensitive side, which to us is a really hilarious side, to Mario. Turns out he got kicked out of his castle! The one who did was - wait, what? A giant sword? With eyes and a mouth? Now it gets interesting!

Mario goes off on a quest to get Bowser back his castle. Though this isn't the intention of the game. What you really are meant to do is repair Star Road! A place that was broken when the giant sword split right through it! Without Star Road no dreams will ever come true! Now we can't let that happen! So the seven stars that make up Star Road have to be found! 

Of course I won't spoil anything for you but I will give you a hint as to who appears in this little RPG of ours! The cast includes: Geno, a doll possessed by a celestial spirit from the Star Road. Peach/Princess Toadstool, who refused to just sit back! Bowser, a sensitive bad guy gone good. Mallow, a . . . tadpole? These are our main characters! Really quite an interesting bunch! Of course there are side characters! Yoshi for instance! I mean it really wouldn't be Super Mario without him am I right? What else do you need to complete the super awesome Super Mario stew? Mario's jump!

This does make an appearance of course! Through out the game people are constantly trying to prove that he is the one and only Mario. So how does he do it? He jumps! That along with in battle; this is where you can use a special technique where if you time tapping the X button along with his jumps you take off more HP!

One ending you guy face is one that may spark some interest. I can't give you full details since doing that would ruin the story for you. All I have to say is: Axem Rangers. They're like the power rangers except EVIL! MUAHAHAHAHA!!! Anyways, if you have the time, pick up the game and go on an adventure! Of course you'll have to own a Super NES or an internet-ready Wii if you want to play it! Trust me it's completely worth it! For more information on this game here's a website! I've read through most of it and deem it correct! Just don't read too far into it or else you'll know the whole story!!

  1. Super Mario RPG is one of my favorite super nes games. It's right up there for me with Chrono Trigger. But who really can say what their favorite SNES title is, there is just so many good ones!
