Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (スーパーマリオRPG, Sūpā Mario Ārupījī?) was the last Mario game made and released on the Super Famicom/Super NES as well as the last major Squaresoft (now Square Enix) produced game for a Nintendo video game console until Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles in 2003. It was also the first role-playing game (RPG) in the Mario series. It contains token similarities to Chrono Trigger and the Final Fantasy series with a story based in the Mario universe. Since it was an easy-to-play RPG starring Mario, it introduced many long-time Mario fans to RPGs and is sometimes seen as an introductory RPG. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars also became the first game in which Mario and Bowser fight as allies. A version of the game for the PAL region was not released. It has been confirmed that Super Mario RPG will be released on the Wii's Virtual Console.
Gameplay
Mario's enemies are visible in the field, and a battle ensues if he comes into contact with one of them. This allows the player to avoid unwanted battles by jumping over or walking around the foe, although some fights are difficult to evade and others are necessary for the game's storyline to progress.
Battle system
The battles themselves are a blend of platforming elements and traditional RPG battles. As well as selecting attacks, the player is usually required to perform action commands to increase the damage done. These consist of timed button presses and other movements (such as rotating the D-pad or pressing Y repeatedly) to determine the power of the characters' moves. As with many other RPGs, items are an important tool in battles. The need to perform action commands in between navigating menus requires the player to be engaged in the battle the whole time. Unlike many RPGs before and after its release, much of the gameplay was outside of monster battles. In the field, the game plays much like an isometric platformer, with many traditional Mario features (such as jumping) as well as many new ones (such as magic spells) playing a key role. There are five characters that you can play with: Mario, Mallow, Geno, Bowser, and Princess Toadstool. Each character has a good amount of attacks and techniques.
