Super Mario RPG is Awesome!

Okay, because November will be hectic, I'll try and update this as much as possible so that you won't miss it in November.

A great thing happened to me not to long ago. Super Mario RPG came out on virtual console! There probably aren't many of you who understand the enormity of that statement. Super Mario RPG was the first Mario RPG game, and as such, is the father of them all. The Mario RPG's are all excellent games and they fill me with happy. What makes Super Mario RPG even better is that SquareEnix (then known as simply as Square) helped Nintendo make it! When I found that this game was available for Virtual Console, nothing else mattered until I got that game! Luckily, my littlest of brothers had a handy 10 bucks, and it only cost 8. Next thing you know, I was playing Super Mario RPG. :D

Seriously, its a great game. I'm not the only one who thinks so. The day after it came out, it was already on the most popular list. It has a huge internet following, as evidenced by the following video made by a fan with two much time on his hands.

(Warning: The following video has two swear words. Hopefully, you won't notice, I sure didn't the first time I watched it.)
(Note: Don't worry when you can't hear the first people taking, nobody can. They're just talking about Mario.)


Super Mario RPG represents the first (and one of the only) Mario games where the main point of the game ISN'T to rescue the princess and beat Bowser. In fact, Bowser and the Princess join your team and help you beat the real bad guy.

Super Mario RPG also introduced Geno. Geno is probably the coolest character in the game (in any Mario game). He is a star being that possesed a doll, and because of that, he can make his body do a lot of epic stuff. He can launch his arm, his fingers are little guns, he can unhitch his knee and fire a shot from it, and he can turn into a cannon. He also has the only attack in the game (Geno Whirl) that can hit 9999 damage if you use it correctly. Unfortunatly, Geno is owned by SquareEnix and hasn't appeared in any other games since then, besides one little cameo in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga as a mini game. We miss you Geno, we miss you.

Yeah, I really like this game. :)
