A slightly different adventure for Mario and his friends. Super Mario RPG, originally released on the Super Famicom 27 years ago, is revived on Nintendo Switch with completely redesigned graphics.
■Story■ Mario heads to Bowser's Castle to rescue the kidnapped Peach. Just when he thinks he's safe after defeating Bowser, a giant sword suddenly falls from the sky. The sword pierces Bowser's Castle, and the impact sends Mario flying, forcing him to set off again to find Peach. Along the way, Mario learns that the "Star Road," which grants people's wishes, has been destroyed by the sword impaled in Bowser's Castle, and its fragments, the "Star Pieces," have been scattered throughout the world. Together with the reliable companions he meets on his journey, an adventure begins to collect the Star Pieces and restore peace to a world where wishes can be granted.
■Explore the field using jumps■ Explore various fields and dungeons by using Mario's signature "jump" action to solve puzzles.
■Companions who adventure with Mario■ Join Mario on his adventure with "Mallow," a self-proclaimed frog with a fluffy body, "Geno," a messenger from the sky who has come to Mario World to retrieve a Star Piece, and Bowser and Peach, familiar faces from the Mario series.
■Battle using action commands■ "Action command battles" require timing actions when attacking or defending. During battles with monsters, successfully executing action commands allows you to attack all monsters or reduce incoming damage to zero. In this game, successfully executing action commands consecutively creates a "chain," increasing the abilities of your companions and giving you an advantage in battle. For beginners, there's support that shows a "!" mark at the perfect timing. Also, a gauge fills up each time an action command is successfully executed. When this gauge reaches 100%, the three characters in battle can combine their powers to unleash a special "three-person attack."
