Super Mario RPG is a console RPG starring none other than Nintendo's popular character Mario. This game starts off like almost every other Mario game, with Bowser kidnapping Princess Toadstool. However, when Mario goes to Bowser's Keep to save her, a giant sword made by the evil Smithy crashes into the castle and sends Mario, the Princess, and Bowser flying to separate parts of the world.
The gameplay is traditional RPG style: gaining experience points by defeating enemies increases team stats. Experience points can increase hit points and magic points (flower points). Battles are turn-based with timed attacks and defenses. Timed attacks allow more harm inflicted on enemies, while timed defenses inflict less harm. You're limited to three members on your party at a time, with Mario always included. Team members can buy new equipment and abilities, and better armor.
