Super Mario RPG Games

Super Mario RPG

Another 'Dream Project' along the lines of Chrono Trigger, Nintendo teamed up with Square in their very prime to produce the first game in the Super Mario RPG series. Later games would be quite different, but may not have even been made if not for this.. It's almost eerie that just months after handling Nintendo's most famous IP, Square would head off to work with Sony for the entirety of the next generation.

It always appears that Princess Peach gets kidnapped.
It always appears that Mario heads to Koopa Castle. 
However, from now on, things are different from the past...in the series' first RPG, the stage unfolds as Mario goes on a grand adventure!

-3D graphics that will make your eyes pop out.
- Clear events with button press controls.
- A union of both command-based battles and action.


Paper Mario / Mario Story
Being developed under the working title "Super Mario RPG 2" at one point, Nintendo smoothly pivoted into their own style after losing Square as co-developers. Going in the opposite direction from Super Mario RPG, here Nintendo embraced 2D graphics on a primarily 3D system.

"Paper Mario" sets off on a new (RPG) adventure!!

Mario and his allies, flapping around like paper, unravel a 3D world in this fun filled RPG! In a new Mario World fusing both action and role-playing, Mario goes on a big, new adventure! Both the Star Spirits and Princess Peach have been abducted by Koopa, so it's off to rescue them.
