Super Mario RPG is not a game that takes itself seriously. It’s a game that sees Mario’s nemesis, Bowser, sob when things don’t go his way, characters do adorable jigs as they level up, and cakes turn into sentient bosses. Not to mention Mario, Bowser, and another man after Peach’s heart sharing a tender group kiss. Those things are also what made the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version so beloved, and equally what prevail in making the Nintendo Switch remake a must-play for anyone who never experienced the original turn-based role-playing game.
