Mario’s first RPG adventure
The least we can say is this Mario has been pretty ubiquitous lately. Between the release of the animated film in 2023, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and even Mario vs. Donkey Kong recently, we can say that Nintendo’s mascot has not gone unnoticed. Despite all these releases, the title that will interest us today is a remake of a title originally released on Super Famicom in 1996: Super Mario RPG. As his name suggests, This is Mario’s first adventure in an RPG and for this reason Squaresoft, the ancestor of Square Enix, known for Final Fantasy, has taken over the management of the project. Therefore, more than 25 years after the release of the original game, we are entitled to a remake on Nintendo Switch that maintains the details that make the game so charming, like this one.
A surprising touch of affection from Bowser
In Super Mario RPG, Mario and Bowser cooperate, which explains the presence of the King of Koopas alongside the famous mustachioed plumber. In the excerpt that interests us below, we can see that one of Bowser’s abilities is to take Mario and throw him at the enemy several times just to inflict maximum damage.
Although he is equipped with a weapon that allows him to attack Mario by throwing him around, I was impressed by the gentlemanliness of Bowser, who replaces Mario with a doll when Mario isn’t feeling well. pic.twitter.com/SPc04cDWkK

However, the small detail that proves the genius of the Super Mario RPG is the poisoning of Mario. After the spider attacks, the Nintendo mascot suffers a penalty that causes him to lose life points. Gold, When Bowser uses his ability to throw Mario at an enemy, we can see that he chooses to use a mascot instead of the real Mario… because he is poisoned. A small token of attention from the King of the Koopas that is quite surprising but adds to the overall humor of the title.
