Here's how the characters fight, they have their own unique attacks, and they can also use powers of their own. In the battle, as you're about to attack an enemy, you can make timed button presses, so as you're about to attack an enemy, you can press the attack button again to double the damage. Every character has their own set of weapons and armour and you get newer and better stuff as you progress. There are also weapons and armour that you can use in battle. You will get items in any way possible and you find out what they do in the menu, giving you a chance on what items to use in battle. Other items include Pick Me Ups that will bring back a character if one fighter dies as well as different bombs to use against enemies, and many more.
Like nearly all RPGs, there are shops in certain areas there will be items like mushrooms to replenish your health, syrups to replenish your flower power. So there will be five characters later in the game and you can only have up to three fighters when battling, with Mario being the default fighter that you can't switch him, meaning if you want to switch characters, you can only switch two and if you don't want Mario, then tough luck. We then get the battle mode, turn-based to be exact. We have our overworlds and like Earthbound, you get to see the enemies, so 9 times out of 10 it's up to you if you want to battle them (though of course, you do have to fight bosses). Of course it's an RPG and this is how it goes.

There are other places full of enemies, different characters and some henchmen of Smithy who have a star piece that you need to collect. Any child can pick up and have fun with this so you explore the world of Mario which doesn't just comprise of the Mushroom Kingdom so we at least have some variety to the world as an RPG should have. Super Mario RPG was made to be a beginner's RPG and it mostly is. It also has humour and I giggled at a few, though the majority of the humour is mostly kid-friendly but good enough for that demographic. Overall story is simple it's a Super Mario game after all. Due to the devious plots of the Smithy Gang, the Star Road has been broken so Mario and his friends must collect seven pieces of the star pieces to fix the road. So Mario has to go and stop the Smithy gang with the help of some friends he meets on the way, including Mallow, a cloud boy who thinks he's a Tadpole, Geno.DA BOSS! Bowser and Peach. When Mario goes back to the castle, he finds the sword who is called Smithy, as he’s unleashed his gang to cause havoc. So what's the story behind Super Mario RPG? Bowser kidnaps Peach and Mario goes to save her and the world revolves around a golden sun but suddenly, a giant sword crashes down on Bowser's castle and sends Mario, Peach and Bowser flying in different directions. Didn't stop Harvest Moon and Secret of Mana stopping by so what's their excuse? Oh, the graphics. Another reason is that it would have taken far too long to translate it to different languages. Why? Because of our PAL technology, it was considered far too difficult to convert it to PAL. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars ( スーパーマリオRPG Sūpā Mario Āru Pī Jī), developed by Square (now Square Enix) and published by Nintendo (for the Super Nintendo) and was released in 1996 in Japan and in the US. So last year I asked Santa for this game on Wii U Virtual Console and Santa gave me it.on Christmas Eve.
So this was a game I was waiting to play because I couldn’t get it on Wii Virtual Console but I don't have the Wii.
I've been wanting to play normal RPGs for a while and I got my eyes on Dragon Quest because Akira Toriyama (I love Dragon Ball Z). All of the Role Playing Games (RPGs) that I've played are pretty much unconventional so far.well mostly The Mother series.
