You have no weird gaps or loopholes in the story, and manages to make you care about what happens. The story is more unique that any previous Mario game as well as extremely well developed. Through the game, you will gain four other characters in your team, each with their own goals, but their paths become bound together. This moves from a mission to rescue the princess to a quest to restore the wishes of everyone and save the world from an enemy so great, he is the first person to kick Bowser out of his own castle, forcing him to team up with you. But in the middle of the rescue, everyone gets separated, and your journey really begins. At first, it starts as your typical Mario game where Bowser has kidnapped the princess, and it is your job to rescue her. It could lack in graphics, sound, and addictiveness and still be great because the story is amazing. This game can have the things I have discussed up till now and still fail. Story: 10 You would think the things I have said about this game shows the best aspects of this game, but that isn't remotely so. What is best is that even after you beat the game, it is pretty much just as fun doing it all over again when you decide to. Along with the story, there are so many extra things you can do such as mini games or side-quests that there is not a dull moment in the game.

It is like a book you can't put down or a movie you can't pause. The story is so fascinating, you find yourself playing just to see what the heck is going to happen next. Because this is a turn based RPG game, the battles themselves can get repetitive, but that doesn't even hinder the score. Addictiveness: 10 This tends to be common with a lot of RPG games, and this one is no different. The developers showed great dedication to making the sounds and music perfect in this game. But there are hundreds of different sound effects ranging from the various attacks and environmental sounds. You get your classical sounds of the *BOING* in Mario's jumping and the jingle of collecting coins, which reminds you that this is still a Mario game. In Mario RPG, the sounds are just as well done as the music. Usually, with a game that has awesome music, you can literally count how many different sound effects there are.
Best of all, this game does not overpower the sound effects with the music. It does such a good job at setting the mood of the location you are in, as well as the situation. As a matter of fact, most of it is delightfully upbeat and fun.
Almost every location has it's own unique music, none of which are irritating. Starting with the music, this game is a masterpiece. A lot of times, you see good graphics at the sacrifice of music and sound. Sound: 10 The developers of this game certainly put a lot of work into this game. When it comes to the SNES, you can't get better graphics than this. The graphics are colorful, non repetitive, and downright beautiful. Having Mario have access to 8 direction ranges of movement made it possible to make this game huge and more interactive than any SNES game I have ever played. The characters, animations, and environmental elements are crisp and clean, as well as eye popping.
But Super Mario RPG pushed the capacity of the SNES graphics to the max, as it was one of the first games for the SNES to be played completely in a 3D environment using polygons that N64 used. Graphics: 10 Even though the SNES has graphics that the NES could never surpass, it still followed the same trend of side-scrollers or top views in most of the games. For good reason too, as this game, in my opinion, is near perfection. It didn't take long for this game to become an instant smash hit and in many people's lists of the top Mario games of all time. Upon introducing this game, there was a lot of skepticism about whether or not it would work. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars was the first time we saw Nintendos most popular character in the RPG world. There is an almost endless list of things you associate with Mario, but if you haven't played this game, turn based RPG is not likely on that list. Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars Review by: rcarter2 - 9/10 Very Unique Mario Game When you think Super Mario, you probably think platforming, goomba bouncing, turtle shell throwing, Yoshi riding, and block breaking.
