I’ve played through several times. Even doing all the side quest shit and going to the casino and fighting Culex it’s extremely short. Like less than 10 hours short. That said, it’s definitely worth playing if you haven’t done so.

SMRPG is kind of a sleeper masterpiece.

This was heyday Square, coming in hot off years with mega hits like Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger. Final Fantasy VII was deep in development and would release the next year. Square was at the top of its game and pumping out god tier JRPG content.

Then you have one of the most iconic franchises in gaming history in Mario. A safe, traditional JRPG would have lost a lot of the feel and flavor of Mario; imagine a cheap sprite reskin of Final Fantasy. So Square decided to bring the classic Mario platforming into the mix by putting Mario in 3D spaces and incorporating ideas like coin blocks and jumping instead of having a flat sprite roam in cardinal directions. Then they stuffed it to the gills with Mario flavor and iconography while also introducing new characters so it wasn’t just another “let’s save the Princess” Bowser-beater. In a surprise twist, Bowser even joins your team after he gets booted out of his own castle!

It was a great game at the time, especially for a young kid

But when I got the SNES mini I just couldn't replay it, it's so shallow gameplay/story-wise, like there's nothing to it.

My memory is hazy but I remember it being a fair bit more complex than a standard JRPG. It had active blocking and striking, the rythmic Mario Jump attack, frame-timing Geno’s attack for 9999 crits, lots of gear and big optional post-game bosses ala Final Fantasy’s Weapons.

And if you wanted to 100% the red coins some of them were literally missable if you didn’t perfectly execute the platforming like riding a toad’s head to a secret ledge and jumping at just the right moment. Games today are terrified to lock out content like that.

Yeah the frame-timing was cool but I felt like others games had more going on story/gameplay wise. Just the sheer number of obscure useless spells, lores, characters in FF6, or Chrono Trigger’s many endings.

It’s best viewed as a cool novelty rather than a true masterpiece like CT or earthbound.

It’s unique and quirky but the gameplay and to a slightly lesser extent storyline hold up pretty well when compared to the likes of CT and FF6. The modern suburban setting with a dose of psychedelia was a nice change of pace from all the yes milord monotony of most rpgs

No, but it’s not much worse, especially when compared to FF6. On a scale from SMRPG to CT I’d put EB at about 75 and FF6 at 85.

FF6 has a large # of characters, abilities, spells, so at least if you replay it it can be a little different. What got me with Mario RPG is that every play through felt the same

Action RPGs are a different genre than turn based RPGs. I knew plenty of casual gamers who played LTTP and ocarina but only the nerds got into CT, FF6/7, etc.
