This was an entertaining game. It took me about a month to finish it. It is one of the best SNES games, but unlike my other favorite SNES games, I don't plan on replaying this one. In the rpg category, the SNES games Chrono Trigger and The Legend of Zelda are much better; their storylines are more interesting and their music isn't so annoying. In addition, the Super Mario RPG battles are generally too long and boring. Another downside is that 3D movements are awkward with the 4-way arrow pad of the controller, and some of the 3D graphics are confusing. I'd recommend this game if you've already finished Zelda, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy, and are looking for something else to do.

-Super Mario RPG is a very good to great RPG and was one of if not the last game for the SNES and the makers of the game went all out for this one.
-The graphics are superb, rich in color and look nice in the 3D esque format.
-The story is basic but good, the Star Road is destoryed by a group called "The Smithy Gang" and now wishes can't come true anymore. Well here's Mario to the rescue along with some new companions.
-There's Mallow: A cloud creature who thinks he's a frog because he was raised by a wise old frog named Frogfucious (sp?). Mallow can cast Lightning and other spells. A good but the second least useful chracter in the game as the game goes on.
-Geno: A character from the Star Road itself who has come down and taken the form of a kid's doll to help repair the Star Road. He can cast many spells, the best being Geno Boost, which strengthens a characters attack and defense during battle. Pretty useful one here.
-Toadstool: Anyone whose anyone should be familiar with her. She can cast numerous and useful healing spells and also a bomb attack, which damages the entire field of enemies. Very useful in my opinion.
-Bowser: That's right, Mario's mortal enemy, joins up to try and stop "Smithy" or maybe just to get his castle back, but whatever. I don't really care for Bowser, he's strong (a major plus) but his magic is kinda weak, therefore I don't really use him that much.
-Mario: To be honest Mario's usefulness is middle ground, he's not the worst character but probably only the third or maybe second best. But since you can't switch him out for other party members (it has to be Mario and two others) he's not a bad one to have. His strength is good, his maigc really shines, like his Super and Ultra Jump and his Flames attacks.
-The game itself is a lot of fun, albeit on the easy side a little too often. The worlds look very good, the world map looks a little cutesy and silly. There are plenty of worlds to go through and you must find seven star pieces from the Star Road to repair it, to do this you must visit almost all parts of the world.
-There are also plenty of hidden treasue chests throughout the game, some are hidden in obvious locations (like in the corner of a room) while some require some searching. Treasures range from frog coins to flowers.
-The magic system is pretty good too. You gradually earn spells for each character as they gain levels and you can also earn flower points, including flowers in treasure chests (1 point), Flower Tabs from characters and some fights (1 point), Flower Jars which comes usually after a boss fight or you accomplish a big task (3 points) and Flower Boxes that come after a big boss fight (5 points). You can have a total of 99 Flower points.
-The bosses are pretty easy for the most part once you figure out their patterns. The only real challenges come towards the end of the game, when your trying to get the sixth and seven star pieces. To get the seventh and final one you need to beat Smithy and that's a bit of a tough one there.
-The battle system is different to say the least. Like the game during world play, the battles have a 3/4 perspective and allow you to select your battle choice by pushing a particular button. For example, A-attacks, Y-Magic, B-Defense and X-Item. The system used is very cool actually.
Pros:
-The gameplay is cool and fun, and doesn't get too boring or repetitive.
-The graphics are great and rich.
-There's some good humor throughout the game.
-The battle system is unique and cool.
-It's just a blast to play for hours on end, though if you play it right it should only take 10-15 hours, if you search for a lot of the treasures that is.
Cons:
-It is pretty easy too often.
-A lot of the enemies look the same but are just a different shade of color and a lot of times don't have different attacks.
-Like others have said the music during the battles is very annoying. It's the same music over and over, it never changes.
-It's almost too easy to get a lot of flower points quickly.
-Overall, this is a very good game, the pros far, far exceed the cons. Once you fire this game up you'll be sitting down playing for hours.

Because this game is awesome. I've completed it 3 times and I'm thinking about doing it a 4th time. There are so many variables that can change each time you play it, and there is so much gameplay in it, it's like a new game each time! It's too bad this great game doesn't get much attention from game critics. Don't worry about the $40 you have to shell out. It's like buying several games at once.

Me being a religious gamer, I have played a lot of video games in my day. I was hesitant when my company called me up and asked me if I would be willing to "test drive" this game. However, from the minute I turned on the game, I was hooked.
Not only does this game burst through the SNES seams with original and unique 3D graphics, but the gameplay as well as the storyline is beyond amaazing!
What I liked most about this game was the length of gameplay. It took me approximately six months to play from start to finish. I consider this length of gameplay extremely long for an SNES game.
I have played and beaten the game at least ten times now and each time I play the game through, I discover new secrets that I had not discovered previously!
I totally recommend this game to anyone who is in for a real thrill. Trust me. You will not be dissappointed.
