Super Mario RPG Remake Review - SNESdrunk 

Same, I never Supered a Mario, and the (apparently pretty fuckin' huge) lore is daunting, but this particular game is so charming, and Mallow and Geno are just adorable, and the writing is so fun, and if I could afford it, I'd get the sequel/spin-off in a heartbeat. I'm not familiar with ownership rights and whatnot, but. If this remake exists, I'm gonna hold out hope that we'll see moreof these little guys.

The team that made the original SMRPG splintered off from Square and formed Alpha Dream, the studio that went on to make the Mario & Luigi RPG series until they shut down due to insufficient sales in 2018.

@@kekeke8988 those games were pretty decent wish I played more of em

@@kekeke8988oh, that makes sense

I never played SMRPG but i once play SMBRPG on gba, ir what think it's called and it's a very cool game, i remember having fun playing it

I like long RPG games. 🤔

​@@chaser5616SMBRPG is not a game that exists

@@jclkaytwo it's Mario and Luigi only i remember what i called

@@chaser5616 okay. that's a great game. its full name is mario & luigi superstar saga

I got mine free from a friend, it's disgusting what people charge these days

$5 for a legit copy of Mario RPG?? Solid deal! I got mine for $90 on ebay auction

@@Thrillin_Chillin_Drillin If you're paying that much, you're frankly part of the problem. Reseller scum can only be stopped if they're starved out. Never pay more than $15 for an old game.

@fmsyntheses perhaps I forgot ro mention it is cib (complete in box) I am not part of the problem.

@@Thrillin_Chillin_Drillin If you ever pay a price that extortionate, you absolutely are. It doesn't matter if it's CIB, you should never pay more than $15. I got a complete set of CIB Famicom Dragon Quest games for $40. Emulation exists so we can starve these parasites. Please stop, you're ruining everything.

Land's End definitely drags a bit but otherwise not wrong

This was my intro into RPG games and the humor never gets old.

Did the original have any kind cut scene

Yes, but they were very SNES like. Overhead view of the story playing out.

It’s not so much that it’s easier it’s just less tedious

@@pixelatedsethtube1271 that's what made it easier. Alot of the old grind for levels and some of the challenges with the enemies was gone . I never had a game over basically....up until I fought culex in the post game.

I would not say a 1 for 1 remake is fan service. It is more of a remastered than a remake much like Links Awakening

​@@andrewcarlton6196 My dude, they quite literally remade the game from the ground up. A remaster is taking the exact same original game and upscaling textures and stabilizing the framerate. Maybe an extra QoL feature here or there. SMRPG and Link's Awakening got full on remakes.

@@Skaftholu no a remake is were you change some elements, better graphics, game play is modified significantly and the story hit most of the pain beats, but can add new things to improve. Remastered is when you just modified graphics and music, but the gameplay and and story remain the same with only minor quality of living improvements. Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is built from the ground up, but its gameplay and story are the same as the original, but has better art works and music. Where as Resident Evil 2, 3, 4 and FFVIIR are remakes cause the tell a very similar story with the characters as well as the gameplay is heavily modified.

still hoping for oracle remakes

Indeed. I hope this trend continues. I can think of many games that can benefit the Nintendo remake treatment

Not for 60$.

at least mario rpg has a stable framerate...

They never fixed the slowdown with Link's Awakening though, right? It made it borderline unplayable

I didn't know the remake was coming and bought the OG for my switch about a year ago. I was a nerdy 16 year old and this game was all I wanted for Xmas.

​​@@LegoDorkhow did you buy the OG for your switch? it wasn't on the switch before the remake came out

It's part of the game soundtrack; won't spoil where you hear it though

@@Ihatevideogames334the question is…. What do you love?

@@MarMaxGaming Probably a zoomer that loves Minecraft and Amogus.

@@MarMaxGaming He loves to hate.

@@kekeke8988 Or a bot.

​@@Ihatevideogames334That's nice, dear. Now finish your mashed potatoes.

Absolutely love that for you, live your best life!

Buying 60$ remakes is one way to poverty.

Yea I thought it was like a huge wart or something

Agreed. It's an awesome remake!

@@Ihatevideogames334 Lucky! You get to save a lot of money and just stew in your hatred. I'm jealous.

I’m in the same boat. When I rented it I thought it was another Mario game but I was wrong. I just didn’t understand RPG back in the 90s.

nice meme

The menu and battle UI have been changed to look cleaner and more minimal too, I like both but the snes menu had a bit more personality

(Hot tip for 100 jumps: Don't look at the enemy, look at their shadow. Mario's shadow stays on-screen for the entire jump in most cases, making it a lot smoother to follow. You're trying to time for the moment the two shadows touch. I never got the 100 jumps in a row on the original version, but I was able to get there on the remake just with watching the shadows and practicing for a few hours.)

@@benstevens44Oh, thanks for the tips with the shadows- I suspected there was some trick to it, but I never quite found one that got me more than 12-13 or so jumps. I'll try that next!

I found that during the paratrooper segment, it went WAY easier when I used my pro controllers d-pad rather than the stick. It seems to me like the stick makes Mario control too "loose" which led to him often missing jumps that required precision or even veering off into directions I didn't know I was moving the stick in. When I used the pad Mario ALWAYS landed where I wanted him to, but the sticks of the Joycons or even the pro controller? More often than not that I missed out on a jump.

@@goranisacson2502 i got a lite, and been d-pading it, was still kinda eh

@@thecunninlynguist Interesting. I just have an OG Switch and a Pro Controller I bought at the same time, maybe there's a difference between the d-pad of a pro and the one in a Mini... or maybe I just perceived the difference between stick and d-pad so great that I'm overestimating it.

All the new themes slap.
