Mario RPG Legend of The Seven Stars was lightning in a bottle and no mario rpg game has come close

Honestly brehs, tell me how i specifically bought asked for a Nintendo 64 expecting a sequel for this game (it was originally confirmed that a mario rpg 2 was in production) only to get Paper Mario?

I know there are hardcore paper mario fans, and yeah yeah 1000 year door and super paper mario were good games but they really don’t measure up to SMRPGLTSS.

This, chrono trigger, Eathbound, FF6, were the Mount Rushmore of 16 bit RPGS. Nothing had graphics like this at the time. This was like The Last of Us graphics wise for the Super Nintendo. A pseudo-3d mario rpg with an actual story, side quest, and fleshed out characters. Characters people still beg nintendo to use almost 30 years later.

It even had a optional super boss, a staple in any good JRPG

And dope cameos…

Just thought it was funny with nintendo statement about not wanting to buy companies that don’t have the nintendo sauce coursing through their veins but squaresoft put out the best mario rpg game to this day. Paper Mario just doesn’t compare imo

Wasn't that the only one made by Square Soft?

That's why it was so good. They need to get Square to make a new one. I never even tried all that paper Mario stuff. It looked like too much of a departure from the original.

One of my favorite games of all time, and might be my actual favorite RPG based on how many times I've replayed it.

Crazy how that was basically the end of the Square/Nintendo relationship being so strong.

One of my favorites

Ported no. But it was on the Wii & Wii U virtual consoles. Also SNES classic if that counts.

Secret of Mana goes on that list.


Shout out to Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics.


With that said, I never played that game.

One of the best games ever made. But everyone know Square was the brains behind this. Tell Nintendo to pony up the money.

I’d be fine if they just made it with links awakening graphics. It would be my number one most anticipated game ever

Facts. One of the illest RPGs ever made.
I still have my original cartridge for it too.
That SNES library is legendary.
