- Platform: SNES
- Publisher: Nintendo
- Developer: Square
- Genre: RPG
Description: Remember the plot from the platformers? It’s exactly the same.
Positives: I’m actually impressed that they found a way to turn a series of platformers into an RPG. They took a good amount of the enemies, plus Mario and friends, and gave them all a complete set of statistics to work with.
Negatives: Where do I begin?
- The plot is just the same old crap, but placed into a new genre.
- The fast pace of the platformers is utterly destroyed here, turning Super Mario into a slow mess full of grinding.

My Progress: Level 3, Bandit’s Way, wasted a lot of time chasing down a crocodile
Final Opinion: I just wasted a ton of time following around a crocodile only to get quickly worked over by it once the fight started. I certainly hope the game gets better after this, but I’m not sticking around to find out.
Grade: D
