These are the top 5 Super Mario games

Hey! I’m not breaking any of my rules! Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars does have “Super Mario” in the title, and it does have a fair share of platforming. In fact, it can’t be understated enough just how genius Square’s creative team was for blending Mario’s platforming together with the traditional Final Fantasy battle systems. So while it’s not breaking any rules, it’s certainly stretching the spirit behind them.

But I have my reasons.

Super Mario RPG is such a lonely game. It’s not a traditional Mario platformer, but it also can’t be jammed into the Paper Mario or Mario Luigi sub-series. No classifications, no friends, no sub-series, no lists for it to ever be included on. How sad…

Speaking more on its qualities though, Super Mario RPG provided fans with some genuine context into the world of the Mushroom Kingdom for the very first time, not including the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, of course. No longer was Mario’s home world restricted to the 2D planes of Mario platformers. It became a fully fleshed out world, sharing the everyday lives of the entertaining citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Yes, this game is also just hilarious! Super Mario RPG enjoys a strong connection to the main series because of how often it references its quirks and pokes fun at Mario’s staples. He struts around town with this reputation as a strange, everyday hero to his neighbors and their kids. His ability to jump never ceases to impress those who ask him to prove his skills. There’s also a running gag throughout the game about how nobody finds him or his silly mustache attractive.

Super Mario RPG bends expectations by adding Princess Peach into the party and even forces Bowser to succumb to an unlikely alliance with his longtime rival. It introduced us to the oft-missed Mallow and Geno, two of gaming history’s most tragic figures, and sent us on a Mario adventure unlike any other.

It’s not a traditional Super Mario game exactly, but it only exists because of season’s eternal popularity demands to be made fun of. Square, who wasn’t exactly on good terms with Nintendo thanks to the rise of the PlayStation at the time, wasted no chances to take jabs at just how ridiculous the Super Mario series is, and we love this game for it.
