A JRPG entry in the Super Mario franchise in which Mario meets many unlikely allies in order to jump and fight his way through the Mushroom Kingdom and collect stars to repair the Star Road, the pathway that grants people's wishes, which was destroyed by Smithy, the otherworldly entity that hijacked Bowser's castle and threw the Kingdom into disarray.
Kit's verdict · 8.6/10
Funny, breezy and inventive, the perfect first RPG.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Timed hits keep battles lively
- Bowser as a party member is a joy
- Witty writing and great music
Not so much
- Very easy for RPG regulars
- Isometric jumping can be awkward
Play it if anyone who wants a light, funny RPG with Mario charm.
Skip it if players who want a tough, deep battle system.
