'''''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''''' (known simply as '''''Super Mario RPG''''' in Japan, sometimes referred to as '''''Super Mario Role-Playing Game''''') is a [[Genre#Role-playing|role playing video game]] designed by [[Square Enix|Square]] (currently [[Square Enix]]) and released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1996. It was the first ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' role-playing game, with an action-command battle system. In this game, [[Mario]], with the help of [[Mallow|f]][[Geno|o]][[Bowser|u]][[Princess Peach|r]] other characters, needs to stop a new enemy, [[Smithy]], while collecting seven [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Pieces]] so that peace may return and [[wish]]es may be granted once more. 

''Super Mario RPG''{{'}}s success was limited due to the release of the [[Nintendo 64]] and ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' four months later that year. It was released on [[Virtual Console]] in Japan on June 24, 2008<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/vc/vc_smr/index.html Super Mario RPG's Virtual Console page], accessed 2008-06-02.</ref>, in the PAL region on August 22nd, and in North America on September 1, 2008. In Europe, the game is treated as an import game, meaning that only the 60Hz mode is supported, and there has been no further localization. The game costs 800 [[Wii Points]] in North America and 900 points in other regions. This was the last game in Square's original deal with Nintendo, and the final ''Mario'' game on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]].

==Storyline==
===Prologue===
[[File:SMRPG Prologue Peach.png|200px|thumb|left|Peach in the intro.]]
The game begins with a short cutscene. [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] sits peacefully on a hill outside [[Mario's House|Mario's Pad]]. Suddenly, she is kidnapped by [[Bowser|King Bowser]] using the [[Koopa Clown Car]]. Mario exits his house then and sees Princess Toadstool in peril. He chases Toadstool and Bowser and ends up at [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. After going through the castle, Mario finally catches up with Bowser, and proceeds to battle him on the chandeliers. Upon defeating Bowser and rescuing the princess, the castle begins to shake. A giant sword named Exor falls from the sky and crashes into Bowser's keep, destroying the [[Star Road (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Road]] on the way. The crash sends Mario, Toadstool, and Bowser flying in separate directions.

[[File:VistaHillSMRPG.png|thumb|200px|[[Mario]] views the damage done to [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] by [[Exor]].]]
Mario ends up landing back at his house where [[Toad]] has been searching for Toadstool. When Toad discovers that the princess is not there, he asks Mario to go back to Bowser's keep to bring her back. Mario has no idea where she or Bowser are, but goes to check the castle. However, when he arrives he is unable to enter the castle and [[Exor]], the giant sword, tells Mario that the keep is now the property of the [[Smithy Gang]], taken over to help with its quest to take over the world. Exor destroys the bridge and Mario narrowly escapes.

===World 1: [[Mushroom Kingdom]]===
Mario heads back home. Toad gets kidnapped by two Hammer Bros. outside Mario's Pad. Mario defeats them and rescues Toad. Mario and Toad then travel to [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to inform the [[Chancellor]] of the Princess's kidnapping. After talking with the chancellor, he meets [[Mallow]], apparently a frog from [[Tadpole Pond]]. Mario assists him by chasing after [[Croco]], a thief, to recover a frog coin that was stolen from Mallow. When they return, the Mushroom Kingdom is dark and overrun by monsters.

Mario and Mallow enter the castle and meet with [[Mack]], a member of the Smithy Gang, in the throne room. Mario battles him and wins. After Mack is defeated, a star remains. Mario takes it, not quite knowing what it is.

===World 2: [[Pond to Pipes]]===
Mario and Mallow now head to Mallow's home, [[Tadpole Pond]]. On their way, which leads through the dark [[Kero Sewers]], they encounter [[Belome]], a giant, dog-like enemy. After Belome is defeated, the sewers are filled with water, and Mario is flushed down the [[Midas River]]. At Tadpole Pond, Mallow's grandfather [[Frogfucius]] reveals that he found Mallow floating in a basket as a baby, and is not really his grandfather. He tells [[Mallow]] to travel with Mario and find his true home.

[[File:KoopaTroopRPG.gif|200px|left|thumb|Bowser's remaining minions in Rose Way.]]
Mario and Mallow then travel to [[Rose Town]] via the [[Rose Way]]. Bowser also happens to be at Rose Way at the same time. He has a group of minions with him and tries to get his castle back from the Smithy Gang. However, Mario and Bowser do not meet. As Mario arrives in Rose Town, it is under attack. [[Aero|Paralyzing arrows]] are shot from the nearby forest. The two seek shelter in the local inn. There, Mario plays with the innkeeper's son, [[Gaz]], and his Mario, [[Bowser]] and Toadstool dolls. As the game continues, Gaz brings out his favorite doll, [[Geno]]. However, Mario is knocked out by a stray punch from the toy. While everyone is in bed, a [[Star (species)|star]] possesses the Geno doll and walks into the origin of the arrows, the [[Forest Maze]].

The next day, Mario and Mallow follow Geno's path through the Forest Maze, eventually meeting [[Bowyer]], a bow-like creature who fires the paralyzing Aeros. Geno tries to get back the Star Piece that Bowyer holds. It is revealed that the Star Pieces are parts of the Star Road that has been destroyed by Exor. Without the Star Road, wishes are no longer granted. Unable to persuade Bowyer, who is a member of the Smithy Gang, Geno enters combat, and Mario and Mallow join him. Together, they defeat Bowyer and recover the second Star Piece. However, an [[Aero]] survives the battle. He hears about the Star Pieces' importance and heads off to inform [[Smithy]].

===World 3: [[Mole Mountains]]===
[[File:Bowser_in_moleville.png|200px|thumb|Bowser's remaining minions in Moleville.]]
While Mario is free to go to [[Yo'ster Isle]] via the [[Pipe Vault]], the next stop for Mario and his friends in their search for the Star Pieces is [[Moleville]]. Again, they happen to be there the same time as Bowser, but do not meet with him. The number of Bowser's minions has seemingly decreased since his time on Rose Way.

The [[Mole (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|inhabitants of Moleville]] are upset because [[Dyna & Mite]] have been lost. Mario goes into the [[Coal Mines]] to find them. On his way through the vast caves, Mario jumps onto a spring board which pretends to be an exit. However, it's fake, and Mario is smashed against the ceiling. While unconscious, Croco appears again and steals Mario's coins. Mario chases Croco and the [[Crook]]s through the mines and eventually faces off against him. Halfway through the battle, Croco steals all of Mario's items. However, after his defeat, Mario and his friends regain the coins and the items.

Going deeper into the mines, Mario meets the criminally insane [[Punchinello]], who wants to defeat Mario in order to become famous. After a long battle, Punchinello drops a giant [[Bob-omb]], which explodes and covers Mario and his friends with soot. However, they are able to get the third Star Piece, which Punchinello has found in the mines. Mario also finds Dyna & Mite, and they exit the mines through the mine kart track.

[[File:BoosterTower.png|left|thumb|200px|Mario appearing near Booster Tower.]]
Meanwhile, Princess Toadstool has fallen from the sky and landed at [[Booster Tower]], the home to the maniacal [[Booster]], who wants to marry her. However, she does not want to and cries out for Mario to help her.

At the time, Mario and his friends, who had previously traveled through [[Booster Pass]], arrive at Booster Tower. The entrance to the tower is locked. However, Bowser shows up again. All of his minions have deserted by this time. On his own, he decides to help out Mario and destroys the tower's front door. He then joins Mario and his friends by making them honorary members of the [[Koopa Troop]].

After heading to the highest level of the large tower, Mario enters Booster's room, right before the balcony where Toadstool is held captive. However, Booster enters and Mario hides behind curtains. Booster is looking for his [[Mario Doll]], which he suspects to be somewhere behind the curtains. He and his [[Snifit]]s search around. If they manage to find Mario while doing so, Mario will have to fight Booster. In both cases, Booster finds his Mario Doll and heads out to his balcony. Mario and his friends follow him onto the balcony. However, Booster and Toadstool have disappeared, and two helpers of Booster, [[Knife Guy]] and [[Grate Guy]], battle Mario.

After Knife Guy and Grate Guy are defeated, Mario continues to follow Booster, who is running up [[Booster Hill]] with Toadstool and tries to marry her in the wedding town of [[Marrymore]]. Mario disrupts the wedding and wants to take the princess back to the Mushroom Kingdom. However, the creators of the wedding cake, [[Chef Torte]] and his [[Apprentice (boss)|apprentice]], are angry because of this and fight Mario. During the battle, their [[Bundt|cake]] comes to life. After the fight, Booster eats the cake, and Mario and Toadstool go back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

The Chancellor is glad about the princess's return. However, with the help of her [[Grandma|grandmother]], who is disguising herself as the princess, Toadstool is able to escape from the castle and join Mario's party. During a short visit at Tadpole Pond, Frogfucius tells Mario he has heard of a Star Piece falling onto [[Star Hill]]. Mario heads there instantly and finds the fourth Star Piece, unguarded.

===World 4: [[Seaside]]===
[[File:Sea Side town.PNG|thumb|200px|A screenshot of Seaside Town.]]
Mario's next stop is [[Seaside Town]]. There, he gets told by the "Town Elder" that he saw a star fall into the [[sea]]. He asks Mario to get it for him. Mario, knowing that it is a Star Piece, heads off to the sea. He goes through the grottoes by the sea and finally reaches the shore. Underwater, he enters a [[Sunken Ship]] on the seabed.

In the Sunken Ship, Mario soon reaches a door which is sealed and can only be opened with the right passwords. There are six rooms where Mario can find hints about the password. With the right word, he can open the door. He proceeds and encounters [[King Calamari]], a giant [[Blooper]] who caused the ship to sink in the first place.

After a battle with the monstrosity, Mario reaches the lower levels of the ship, and eventually meets [[Jonathan Jones]], the shark owner of the ship. Jones claims the Star Piece for himself as it fell into "his" sea. However, Mario is able to win the Star Piece in a battle with Jones and leaves the ship.

Upon returning to Seaside Town, Mario is stopped by the "Town Elder" and various other Toads. The "Town Elder" reveals himself to be [[Yaridovich]], a spear-like member of the Smithy Gang. Yaridovich had disguised himself as Seaside Town's entire population in order to persuade Mario searching for the Star Piece for him. As Yaridovich threatens to torture the town's real population, Mario hands over the Star Piece. Yaridovich flees and Mario runs after him. Yaridovich was to be taken by the battleship [[Blade]]. However, Blade is late, and Yaridovich, being on a dead end cliff near Seaside Town, sees himself forced to swim, though he admits he might rust when doing so. However, Jonathan Jones jumps out of the water preventing Yaridovich from fleeing. Cornered, Yaridovich changes into his real form and battles Mario and his allies. After a long fight, Mario is able to defeat Yaridovich and regain the fifth Star Piece.

===World 5: [[Land's End]]===
Looking for the sixth Star Piece, Mario and his friends travel to [[Land's End]]. After climbing the mountain and clearing the desert area, they are unable to proceed because the cliff is too high. So they search a way to the underground and end up in [[Belome Temple]]. There, they encounter Belome for a second time. The hungry dog monster tries to eat them, but again gets defeated. After the fight, Mario goes further underground and reaches [[Monstro Town]].

In Monstro Town, [[Monstermama]] calls [[Sergeant Flutter]] to help Mario climb the huge cliff in Land's End. She says that the sixth Star Piece has to be somewhere in the clouds, as there is no place on land left to look for it. With the help of Flutter and his [[Koopa Paratroopa|Sky Troopas]], Mario and his friends discover the [[Bean Valley]]. In a [[Warp Pipe]] in Bean Valley, a [[Beezo]] grows a giant [[Piranha Plant]], the [[Megasmilax]]. Mario and company have to defeat it in order to gain access to the giant tendril which leads up to the clouds and to [[Nimbus Land]].

===World 6: [[Nimbus Land]]===
[[File:Nimbus Land.PNG|left|thumb|200px|The floating Nimbus Land.]]
As Mario reaches Nimbus Land's plaza, [[Valentina]] is currently giving a speech to the local [[Nimbus]]. She says that [[King Nimbus]] is ill at the moment and cannot do his business. Also, she introduces the giant bird [[Dodo]] as being the lost Prince Mallow. Though Dodo looks nothing like a Nimbus and cannot speak, Valentina claims the "prince" wants to marry her, thus making her the queen of Nimbus Land. She then leaves for the castle, which is closed for the public.

Though Mallow does not realize at first that he is the actual prince, he is told so by [[Garro]], a sculptor for the royal family. Garro agrees to help Mario and Mallow against Valentina. He coats Mario in gold, disguising him as one of Garro's statues. He takes it to Nimbus Castle with other statues for Valentina. Inside, Mario barely escapes Dodo's wrath as he pecks on random statues instead of polishing them on Valentina's behalf. He takes off the statue disguise and fights his way through the heavily guarded castle.

On their route through the castle, Mario and his friends encounter a giant Shelly, which turns out to be [[Birdo]] who is working for Valentina. After defeating her, Mario gets to the back door of Nimbus Castle and falls down a few layers of clouds. He quickly heads back to the plaza of Nimbus Land, where he meets Valentina and Dodo. After being defeated by Mario, Valentina falls through the clouds and, surprisingly, ends up at Booster Tower, just as Toadstool did before.

Mallow is then reunited with his parents, [[King Nimbus|King]] and [[Queen Nimbus]]. They say they heard a Star Piece has fallen into the nearby [[Barrel Volcano]]. So, Mario and his friends drop of the clouds from a specific place and fall right into the chimney of the volcano. The heroes fight their way through the hot volcano and take a stop at [[Hinopio]]'s shop and inn. Shortly afterwards, they face a great wyrm known as the [[Czar Dragon]], the guardian of the sixth Star Piece. They manage to defeat the fiery wyrm, but it resurrects and becomes the undead abomination, the dreaded bonewyrm [[Zombone]]. However, the bonewyrm is defeated. As Mario tries to collect the Star Piece, it is snatched away before his hands by the [[Axem Rangers]].

[[File:AxemRangers_SMRPG.png|200px|thumb|The Axem Rangers.]]
The Axem Rangers, five members of the Smithy Gang, run away with the Star Piece through Barrel Volcano, shortly followed by Mario and his friends. On top of the volcano, they head onto Blade, the huge battleship that failed to take away Yaridovich earlier. On Blade, Mario and company defeat all the Axem Rangers and also destroy the ship's [[Breaker Beam]]. Blade is destroyed, and Mario finally gets the sixth Star Piece.

===World 7: [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]]===
After meeting King and Queen Nimbus again, Mario and his friends take Nimbus Land's [[Royal Bus]] to get access to Bowser's Keep, which is unreachable through any other means because Exor destroyed the bridge to the nearby [[Vista Hill]].

All members of the Koopa Troop in Bowser's Keep have either defected to or been brainwashed by the [[Smithy Gang]]. However, many are scared off by their former boss [[Bowser]]. Mario meets [[Croco]] again, who does not fight him this time, but rather offers him help by selling his items.

Mario then reaches a room with doors to six corridors, of which he has to clear four. Two corridors are action courses, two are fighting areas, and two are puzzle courses led by [[Dr. Topper]]. In the fighting areas, Mario can encounter enemies such as the [[Chester]]. All enemies in the fighting areas are created by a brainwashed [[Kamek#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Magikoopa]] and the statues.

After the required amount of courses is cleared, Mario proceeds and fights the brainwashed Magikoopa. After its defeat, the Magikoopa comes to its senses again and helps out Mario's party, creating a [[Treasure chest|Treasure Box]]es with unlimited coins as well as healing them. Croco also appears for a second time offering his items.

Mario reaches the final room of the keep again, and gets onto the chandeliers he fought Bowser on at the beginning of the game. This time, the enemy is the [[Smithy Gang]] swordsman [[Boomer (boss)|Boomer]]. After Mario and his friends defeat Boomer, he falls down. The chandelier with Mario on it is transported upwards by a [[Chandeli-ho]] to the highest tower of the keep. There, Mario's party finally enters combat with [[Exor]]. The giant sword foe is shielded by its eyes in battle. However, after the eyes are "knocked out", Mario and company can defeat Exor. However, with his last ounce of strength, [[Exor]] inhales Mario and his party with its mouth, the Neosquid, which acts as a portal to Smithy's dimension.

[[Mario]], [[Mallow]], [[Geno]], [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach|Toadstool]] are brought to Smithy's [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]], his base of operation for the invasion of Mushroom Kingdom. In the gloomy universe, they have to fight many previous enemies a second time. Notably, [[Machine Made]]s, which are gray copies of [[Mack]], [[Bowyer]], [[Yaridovich]] and the [[Axem Rangers]], are produced en masse in the Factory. Additionally, they encounter [[Count Down]], a giant clock which is controlled by the bell-like [[Ding-A-Ling]]s.

They also fight the duo of [[Cloaker]] and [[Domino]]. When either one of them is defeated, the other runs away to make use of his giant snake. Domino's snake is [[Mad Adder]], while Cloaker's is [[Earth Link]]. However, even with the help of the snake, he is defeated by Mario. Mario and company then enter the production lines of the Factory. There, they have to fight the Factory's [[Clerk]], [[Manager]] and [[Director]] before meeting the [[Factory Chief]]. The Factory Chief is using the [[Gunyolk]] in battle. However, he still is defeated by Mario.
[[File:FinalBattleSMRPG.png|left|frame|Mario and gang meet [[Smithy]].]]
The five heroes finally meet [[Smithy]] at the basement of the Factory. Smithy is constantly creating more weapons with his hammer and the [[Smelter]]. He also holds the seventh and last Star Piece. Refusing to give it away, he starts to fight Mario and his allies. At first, he use the Smelter to create [[Shyper]]s to aide him in battle. However, he is soon defeated. Angry, he slams the floor with his hammer several times. Because the floor has only been constructed the day before, it breaks and [[Smithy]], along with Mario and company, falls down to a dark area below the Factory.

Furious, Smithy changes into his real form for the final battle. With his hammer, he has the power to transform his head into five different forms, all with special abilities. However, after a long battle, he is defeated and destroyed by Mario and his friends.

===Conclusion===
[[File:MarioRPGEndingScreen.png|thumb|right|180px|The ending screen with Mario, Princess Toadstool, Yoshi, Toad, and the Chancellor.]]
With all seven Star Pieces restored, Geno thanks the others and says goodbye, before leaving the form of a doll and returning to a small star. The Star Road is restored, and Mario, Mallow, Bowser, Toadstool and the Geno doll are returned to Mario's World. Exor dissolves into thin air. 

Here's what happened in the end according to each star:

*Mallow is crowned the prince of Nimbus Land.
*Bowser repairs his keep with the help of his minions.
*Jonathan Jones looks out at the sunset from the cliff where the Yaridovich battle took place.
*Croco is seen racing the [[Mushroom Derby]] against Yoshi. Though he loses this race, he is consoled by [[Boshi]] and the two walk off together (seemingly establishing a friendship).
*Frogfucius and his Student both attend a concert held by [[Toadofsky]]. 
*Valentina and Booster get married with Dodo exchanging vows. However, Booster runs off and Valentina follows, leaving Dodo confused.
*Mario and Princess Toadstool return to the Mushroom Kingdom, thanking the player for all of the hard work.

As the credits roll, there is a [[parade]] featuring every character in it. In his only confirmed appearance in the game, [[Luigi]] is the parade grand marshal.

==Sidequests==
During their adventure, Mario and his friends are free to visit several optional places in the world.

The biggest of them is [[Yo'ster Isle]], the home island of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], which can be reached via the [[Pipe Vault]] between Rose Town and Moleville. The Pipe Vault is held in the traditional side-scrolling manner of earlier ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and features classical enemies such as [[Piranha Plant]]s. On Yo'ster Isle, Mario meets Yoshi and can ride him. On Yoshi's back, Mario will be able to talk to other Yoshis on the island, with Yoshi translating their words from the Yoshi language. On Yoshi's back, Mario can compete in the Mushroom Derby, a racing [[minigame]], against the island's champion, the rude Boshi. Entry into the derby requires [[Yoshi Cookie]]s. After winning the Mushroom Derby, Mario has access to Yoshi Cookies outside the island. He can summon Yoshi in battle, who will swallow smaller enemies, leaving back a certain item or a [[Yoshi Candy]].

Another optional place to visit is [[Grate Guy's Casino]], which opens after Mario's quest to Nimbus Land. To enter it, Mario has to get the membership card by Knife Guy in Booster's Tower, then find the secret entrance to the casino in Bean Valley. The casino offers several minigames to win coins.

In Monstro Town, there is a sealed door. Mario only can open it with a Shiny Stone, which he can get from a girl mole in [[Moleville]] if the player gives her fireworks, which they can get from a male mole in Moleville for 500 coins. When they open the door, the player will then meet [[Culex]].

After the party's adventures in [[Marrymore]], the player can return to the Mushroom Kingdom, find the [[Inn]], and talk to a young Toad in the corner. After talking to him several times, he will sell Mario a minigame, [[Beetle Mania]], for 500 coins.

==Battle system==
[[Mario]] fights with two of his four partners at a time, though he is able to switch partners outside of battle. The characters have many stats that grow as they level up:

*''HP'', or hit points, show the amount of damage a character can take. When it reaches 0, the character is knocked out and unable to fight unless revived. Having the entire party knocked out means Game Over, but the player automatically restarts from his/her last save.
*''Speed'' affects how often and in what order the character fights. Characters with a high speed attack before any other allies or enemies, and could attack multiple times before another character attacks once depending on their speed.
*''Attack'' is the physical strength of the character. Combined with the character's weapon, it adds up to a final value that affects how much damage they will deal to an opponent with physical attacks.
*''Defense'', combined with the character's armor, reduces the amount of damage a character will receive from an enemy's normal physical attack.
*''Magic Attack'' affects how strong a character's special skill will be.
*''Magic Defense'' is similar to defense, but only protects against enemies' special skills, not regular attacks.

In addition, each time a character levels up, they can choose one of three groups of stats to gain a bonus in: attack and defense, HP, or magic attack and magic defense. Special skills can be performed by using flower points, or [[FP]]. These flower points are not raised by leveling up, but by special items such as the [[Flower Tab]]. Occasionally and at random, an item will be used without being consumed as normal, called a "freebie" by the game.

Battles begin by moving into an enemy on a main game map. In battle, characters have four options:
*''Attack'', which allows the character to perform a basic attack using the weapon they have equipped.
*''Item'', which allows them to use one of the items they have on themselves, an ally, an enemy, or a group of allies or enemies depending on the item.
*''Special'', which allows the character to use one of the special moves they have acquired by leveling up.
*''Etc''., which gives the character the option of defending, ensuring they receive less damage if they are hit by enemy, or running away, which may or may not be possible depending on the enemy being fought and random chance.

Many of these options can be improved by the "Timed Hit", which helps them in many ways when the player presses any button at the correct time. Depending on the timing, these commands can increase physical damage by 1.5x if done okay, or 2x if done well. They can also block half damage from physical damage if done okay, and ALL of it if done well. Magical attacks can be timed as well for more damage. However, any enemy magic attack (and some physical attacks) cannot be blocked in this manner. In addition, a correctly Timed Hit with an Item can result in a "Freebie", meaning that an item is used, but not consumed from the inventory. However, the timing window for doing this is very narrow.

After defeating an enemy, the character who defeated it will occasionally receive a [[Special Flower|flower]] that gives them a special bonus. Through enough stat bonuses after battling, each member of the party can reach a maximum level of 30.

==Mario's party==
===[[Mario]]===
[[File:RPGMario.png|thumb|75px|right|Mario.]]
In battle, Mario uses powerful attacks, hitting his enemies with various [[Hammer]]s, [[Koopa Shell]]s or simply his hands. His magic attacks involve [[jump]]ing and fire magic. When Mario falls in battle, his allies can still fight on and win the battle for him.
===[[Mallow]]===
[[File: Mallow.gif|thumb|100px|left|Mallow.]]
Mallow is, at first, believed to be a simple tadpole from [[Tadpole Pond]] even though he looks nothing like one. He is the first partner Mario meets, joining Mario during his first visit to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. He was raised by [[Frogfucius]] who found him floating in a basket as a baby. Later, when Mallow and Mario visit Frogfucius, it is revealed that Mallow is not a frog and that his real parents are out there, somewhere. Late in the game, Mario and his party visit [[Nimbus Land]], whose citizens are all of the same species as Mallow. There, Mallow discovers that he is a prince and his parents are [[King Nimbus]] and [[Queen Nimbus]].

He has a variety of attacks useful for attacking all of the enemies at one time. He has powerful control over the weather: outside of battle, when he cries, a heavy rainstorm starts. In battle, he can summon things from lightning to snow to a healing rain. In addition, he has a harmless but useful attack, [[Psychopath]], that shows how much HP an enemy has remaining and a quote from the enemy's mind when the player manages to do a Timed Hit.
===[[Geno]]===
[[File:Geno SMRPG.gif|thumb|75px|Geno.]]
Geno is the second to join. He is from Star Road, and, while his real form appears to be a small star, he takes the form and name of [[Gaz]]'s doll while with Mario. He reveals to the party what the Star Pieces discovered by Mario are and their importance.

He is incredibly powerful and has a variety of offensive attacks, one of which ([[Geno Whirl]]), can deal 9999 HP of damage on regular enemies, [[Yaridovich]] clones, and [[Exor]].

===[[Bowser]]===
[[File:Smrpg bowser.gif|75px|thumb|left|Bowser.]]
Bowser, for the first time in the series, joins Mario's side. His goal was to take his keep back from Smithy's gang. He and Mario reluctantly join at [[Booster Tower]].
He doesn't have as great a variety of special attacks as the other members of the team, though he is physically incredibly strong.

===[[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]===
[[File:SMRPG_Peach.gif|75px|thumb|right|Princess Toadstool.]]
Princess Toadstool/Peach is the last to join. She was kidnapped at the beginning of the game, and, right when Mario rescued her, was sent flying off. After falling from the sky, she was discovered by [[Booster]] and held in his tower. Booster attempted to marry her, but she was eventually rescued by Mario and returned to the Mushroom Kingdom, apparently to stay. However, with the help of her grandmother, who disguised herself as the princess, Toadstool sneaked away to join Mario's party.

Her special skills are mostly defensive (with two crowd control spells in her mix) and healing, not offensive. Her healing skills can be incredibly useful, she can resurrect a fallen partner, and she can make a battle against tough foes and large crowds easier by putting them to sleep or by muting spell casters.

==Locations==
{{SMRPGmap}}
Mario and his party visit many places over the course of the game.

*'''[[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]''' - It was once [[Bowser]]'s home, but it is taken over by the [[Smithy Gang]] early in the game.
*'''[[Vista Hill]]''' - The area that was once connected to Bowser's Keep via bridge, but [[Exor]], the sword who crashed into Bowser's Keep, destroyed the bridge. Nothing of interest here.
*'''[[Mario's House|Mario's Pad]]''' - Mario's Home, it includes tools and a pipe for a smokestack. This is where Mario's adventure begins and has free resting.

==Virtual Console differences==
One attack used by many bosses, [[Flame Wall]], looks radically different from the original game. In the original version, a wave of red, orange, and yellow flows to the left of the screen. In the Virtual Console version, the wave is separated, only red, and somewhat faded. Also, [[Static E!]] is changed from a bright, blue & white flash to a deep blue one. This was changed in order to avoid players possibly having seizures{{refneeded}}. Also, [[Moleville]] has a considerably darker color scheme. Otherwise, the game was not localized. This means keeping the American SNES dark/light purple button layout in battle mode and against Bowyer, while the European SNES has the {{button|snes|A}}/{{button|snes|B}}/{{button|snes|X}}/{{button|snes|Y}} buttons colored as in the Japanese version.

For the PAL version, Bowser's victory pose was changed to the North American version because the original has Bowser giving a gesture which is viewed as saying "Up yours" in most of Europe.

===Wii Shop Description===
''Set in the Mushroom Kingdom and featuring its cast of well-known characters, this adventure RPG begins with a familiar scenario. Mario™ must rescue Princess Toadstool™ from Bowser™. However, a mysterious new enemy named Smithy soon appears, and Mario and Bowser are forced to fight as allies for the first time in their long history. In the quest to defeat their powerful new foe, they'll journey across a wide variety of locations ([[Moleville|a town of mining moles]], [[Forest Maze|a tropical forest]], [[Midas River|a thundering waterfall]]—just to name a few) and tackle a mix of obstacles requiring both expert timing and strategy to overcome. Along the way, they'll gain experience and grow more powerful, while also meeting new characters whose unique abilities will be needed to take on Smithy and his gang. Striking a perfect balance of traditional RPG elements and the action-packed game play Mario is famous for, it's easy to see why this title has earned "legendary" status!''

==Cameos and references==
[[File:SMRPG 8bitMario.png|thumb|8-Bit Mario, seen in Booster's Tower.]]
''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' features many references to other series by [[Nintendo]] or [[Square Enix]]. Some of them include:
*[[Link]] can be found sleeping in the [[Rose Town]] inn after beating [[Bowyer]] in the [[Forest Maze]]. When talked to, a jingle that normally sounds when a secret is discovered in the [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda series]] plays, along with a text box saying ".....", referencing Link's normally silent role in his games.
*[[Samus Aran]] can be found sleeping in the guest bed of [[Princess Peach's Castle|Toadstool's Castle]] after beating [[Yaridovich]] and obtaining the 5th Star Piece, and will be there until the player goes to [[Bean Valley]]. When spoken to, she'll say she's resting up for Mother Brain, the final boss of the ''Metroid'' series.
*A Samus action figure can be found in a toy box in [[Booster Tower]].
*[[Hinopio]] in the [[Barrel Volcano]] has models of [[Captain Falcon]]'s and [[Assist Trophy|Samurai Goroh]]'s spacecraft, and an [[Arwing]] from the ''[[Fox McCloud|Star Fox]]'' series.
*[[Culex]] (and his [[Crystals]]) is an optional boss designed to resemble the ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy]]'' bosses. During and after the battle with him, ''Final Fantasy'' music is played. The music heard is a rearrangement of the Boss Battle theme in ''Final Fantasy IV'' and after the battle, the famous ''Final Fantasy Victory Theme'' plays.
** "Here Are Some Weapons!" shares a lot of similarities with "Slam Shuffle", Zozo Town's theme in Final Fantasy VI
*[[Donkey Kong]] look-alikes, known as [[Guerilla]]s and [[Chained Kong]]s appear in the [[Forest Maze]] and [[Barrel Volcano]]. One action sequence in Bowser's Keep involves climbing a ledge while avoiding barrels by jumping, defeating a Guerilla at the top. This is a direct homage to the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade game.
*For a short period of time, [[Mario]] can turn into a 8-bit version in the Booster Tower. This can only happen once.
*The enemy [[Bahamutt]] is named after the powerful dragon Bahamut from the ''Final Fantasy'' series.
*Another reference to the ''Final Fantasy'' series involves the [[Czar Dragon]]: a superboss of the same name was dummied from ''Final Fantasy VI''.

==Soundtrack==
The music score was released as a CD only in Japan as ''[[Super Mario RPG Original Sound Version]]''.
The Super Mario RPG Original Sound Version is a Japan-exclusive soundtrack product that was released on March 8, 1996. All the tracks listed in this page were composed by Yoko Shimomura.

==Staff==
{{main|List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars staff}}

''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' was developed by Squaresoft, with directing duties being split between Chihiro Fujioka and Yoshihiko Maekawa. [[Yoko Shimomura]] composed the soundtrack. Several members of the staff, including the aforementioned composer and directors, would later join [[AlphaDream]] and work on the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]] series.

The game was the last work of noted videogame translator [[Ted Woolsey]] at Squaresoft.

==Pre-release and unused content==
{{main|List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content}}
'''Nintendo Power'''

Material from an early Nintendo Power shows that the Chancellor was once designed differently, being a more elderly-looking, gray-spotted Toad with a beard. It also showed that at least one Buzzer would be in Mushroom Way, and that Frogfucius's island at Tadpole Pond would be closer and therefore accessed differently.

There were also several unused enemies such as:
*A green Jester-like enemy named Harlequin.
*A Blue colored Fautso named Baba Yaga.
*An enemy that resembles a purple Bahamutt with sunglasses.
*A red Spikey named Super Spike.
*A white version of Carroboscis named Radish.
*A blue version of Stumpet named Lumbler; Lumbler has a move set. It has the moves Crystal and an egg shooting attack it shares with Birdo.
*A blue, glitchy Corkpedite named Pile Driver.
*Nipper Plants were originally going to be enemies that Mario would have fought, but they were changed to obstacles.
*A blue colored Mastadoom named Mastablasta, that could summon Goombas; its psychopath thought is "Life is tough, ain't it?"

==Glitches==
{{main|List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars glitches}}
==={{conjecturaltext|Skip Mack}}===
When the player gets to the room where Mack is faced, instead of going straight to battle him, the player can jump on top of the [[Shyster]]s on the left side, and carefully walk on them. If the Mack scene does not trigger when the player falls off them, the glitch has been performed correctly. The player must then walk to the [[Chancellor]] in the corner, and talk to him to finish the glitch.

==References to other games==
*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': One action room in Bowser's Keep involves Mario avoiding a [[Chained Kong]] who throws barrels, similar to [[Donkey Kong]] in this game.
*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': When Mario walks behind a curtained section in Booster Tower, he emerges as Mario appeared in this game. A soundclip from the game is played, and when he tries to exits the room the 'time running out' sound plays as he shrinks and runs back behind the curtain. If the player uses the bathroom in [[Marrymore]], an arrangement of the game's theme plays.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': The music that plays in the battle against Bowser is a rearrangement of his theme from this game. The music that plays in Bowser's Keep also has a part of the same theme. Also, some of the Grass Land's theme is heard in the Flower Garden cutscene and for [[Mario's Pad]].
*''[[Super Mario World]]'': When Mario enters the Rose Town inn for the first time, an arrangement of the overworld theme plays. Another cover of this theme plays when [[Lulla-Bye]] is used on a party member. Also, the Crescent Moon from [[Star World]] is shown in the background of the Star Road during the ending before the credits.

==References in later games==
*''[[Mario Party]]'': Part of the first [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] theme is a rearrangement [[Bowser's Magma Mountain]]'s.
*''[[Wrecking Crew '98]]'': [[Mario's House]] appears as it does in ''Super Mario RPG''.
*''[[Paper Mario]]'': The end credits feature a parade of most of the characters, led by Luigi; this is obviously a reference to the credits of ''Super Mario RPG''. Additionally, throughout ''Paper Mario'', there are many other elements that were lifted from or influenced by this game; for more information, see [[Paper Mario#Similarities with Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|here]].
*''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': The theme for [[World-e Castle]] bears a strong resemblance to "Hello, Happy Kingdom!"
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'': A [[Geno]] doll appears. Plus, a short arrangement of the Mario's Pad theme can be heard near the beginning of the game and in the Warp Pipe zones.
*''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'': Bowser's Keep appears as it does in ''Super Mario RPG'' in the background of [[Bowser's Castle Court]].
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'': [[Green Shell|One of the special attacks]] is kicking a Koopa shell, akin to Mario's NokNok Shell weapon. The first [[Cobalt Star]] shard is found in a ''Super Mario RPG''-style [[Treasure chest]].
*''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'': Peach's castle appears at it does in ''Super Mario RPG'' in the background of [[Peach Field]]. Also, this game was developed by the same company after merging with Enix, which the two companies together became known as Square-Enix.
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'': Bowser's Castle and army is taken over again. When being on a particular platform near Bowser's Castle, the character looks at the castle from far, similarly to how Mario does in ''Super Mario RPG'' if he goes to [[Vista Hill]]. The theme used in Peach's Castle after Fawful's takeover is also a rearrangement of the "Forest Maze" theme. Lastly, there is a very similar line in this game about [[Starlow|Chippy]] (known as Starlow to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]) joining the [[Koopa Troop]].
*''[[Fortune Street]]'': The Mushroom Kingdom map music (with Princess Peach's Castle in the background) contains a rearrangement of the music from this game.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'': Peach's side smash attack cycles through a golf club, a tennis racquet, and a frying pan. The Frying Pan is a weapon she can equip and use in battle, purchased as the "Iron Plate" in [[Moleville]]. Her dress with the fiery patterns may have been inspired by the Fire Dress armor that is purchased from Barrel Volcano.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'': A deleted theme from the game is possibly a rearrangement of the "Forest Maze" theme, titled "Beware the Forest's Mushrooms."
*''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'': Another end credits parade commences. Again, Luigi leads it.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'': A downloadable [[Mii Fighter]] costume appears based off of Geno.

==Trivia==
*The manual of the North American version does not list any statistics about Princess Toadstool, despite the fact that she joins the party and is playable in battle.
*This is also the only [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] Mario game released outside of Japan to not have European and Australian releases until it was re released on the Wii Virtual Console years later {{refneeded}}.
*The Japanese version's copyright year says 1995 on the title screen, even though it was released on March 9, 1996, 65 days before its North American release. This is corrected in the North American version.
*The Save Block's letter S's appears in serif format in the official artwork, but in the game has the letter S's in sans-serif format.
*This is the only ''Mario'' RPG game to not have a sequel, although ''[[Paper Mario]]'' [[List of Paper Mario pre-release and unused content|was originally planned as one]], with the working title ''Super Mario RPG 2'', so it COULD be.
*This is the first ''Mario'' game with some Toads being identified as females prior to recurring ones like [[Toadette]] who was later introduced in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' in 2003.

-The game begins with a cutscene: [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] sits peacefully on a hill outside [[Mario Bros.' House|Mario's Pad]], when she is suddenly kidnapped by [[Bowser|King Bowser]] using the [[Koopa Clown Car]]. [[Mario]] hears her cry for help and exits his house, knowing Toadstool is in peril. He follows Toadstool and Bowser and ends up at [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. After going through the castle, Mario finally catches up with Bowser and proceeds to battle him on the chandeliers. Upon besting him, he is about to rescue the princess when the castle begins to shake. A giant sword named [[Exor]] falls from the sky and crashes into Bowser's Keep, destroying the [[Star Road (Super Mario RPG)|Star Road]] on the way, whose [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|piece]]s scatter all throughout [[Mario World|the world]]. The crash sends Mario, Toadstool, and Bowser flying in separate directions, and they all land in different parts of the world.

-Mario lands back at his house where [[Toad]] has been searching for Toadstool. When Toad discovers that the princess is not there, he asks Mario to go back to Bowser's Keep to bring her back. Mario has no idea where she or Bowser are, but goes to check the castle just in case. But when he arrives, he is shocked by the sight of Exor, who tells Mario that the keep is now property of the [[Smithy Gang]], taken over to help with its quest to rule the world. Exor destroys the bridge entryway Mario is standing in, though he narrowly manages to escape in time. The castle is thus rendered unreachable.

Geno introduces himself and reveals his objective to Mario and Mallow: recovering the seven Star Pieces, parts of the Star Road that has been destroyed by Exor. Without the Star Road, wishes cannot be granted. The trio resolve to join forces to thwart Smithy, the leader of the Smithy Gang, and repair the Star Road. However, one of Bowyer's surviving flunkies overhears Geno's explanation, and heads off to inform Smithy.

-The next stop for Mario's party in their search for the Star Pieces is [[Moleville]]. Here, Mario spots Bowser and his troops once more. The number of Bowser's minions has decreased since his time on Rose Way, but Bowser still resolves to get his castle back.
+While Mario is free to go to [[Yo'ster Isle]] via the [[Pipe Vault]], the next stop for Mario and his friends in their search for the Star Pieces is [[Moleville]]. Again, they happen to be there the same time as Bowser, but do not meet with him. The number of Bowser's minions has seemingly decreased since his time on Rose Way.
-The [[mole (Super Mario RPG)|inhabitants of Moleville]] are upset because two children, [[Dyna and Mite|Dyna & Mite]], have become trapped in the [[Mole Mines|Coal Mines]] due to a fallen star. Upon hearing this, Mario ventures inside, and on his way through the vast caves, he is rendered unconscious by a faulty [[trampoline]], an opportunity that Croco seizes to steal Mario's coins. Mario pursues him and his [[Crook]] accomplices, and faces off against him. After he is dispatched, Mario and his friends regain what they lost, and obtain a [[Microbomb|bomb]] from him that they use to open their way through the mines.

While unconscious, Croco appears again and steals Mario's coins. Mario chases Croco and the [[Crook]]s through the mines and eventually faces off against him. Halfway through the battle, Croco steals all of Mario's items. However, after his defeat, Mario and his friends regain the coins and the items.
-Going deeper, Mario meets [[Punchinello]], who wants to best Mario in order to become famous. Before being beaten, he summons [[King Bomb|a giant bomb]], which explodes but fortunately only covers Mario and his friends with soot. They claim the third Star Piece, which was close at hand. Mario also finds Dyna & Mite, and after they all exit the mines through the minecar railway, the children are safely returned to their parents. As soon as Mario and company leave Dyna & Mite's house, they stumble across Booster's [[Snifster|Snifit]]s, who mention that their boss is busy entertaining a "princess from the sky". And so, the party leaves Moleville, both in search of more Star Pieces and because of this new piece of information.
+Going deeper into the mines, Mario meets the criminally insane [[Punchinello]], who wants to defeat Mario in order to become famous.

-After a short trip past [[Booster Pass]], Mario's party arrives at Booster Tower. They see Bowser, alone, lamenting the loss of his keep and the "good old days". Once he becomes aware of Mario, he tries to act tough. At the top of the tower, Toadstool notices Mario as well, and calls out to him. Bowser leaves, feigning indifference, but returns after Mario is unable to open the tower's front door. He decides to help out Mario out of his own free will and breaks the door open. He then joins Mario and his friends by making them honorary members of the [[Bowser's Minions|Koopa Troop]].
+At the time, Mario and his friends, who had previously traveled through [[Booster Pass]], arrive at Booster Tower. The entrance to the tower is locked. However, Bowser shows up again. All of his minions have deserted by this time. On his own, he decides to help out Mario and destroys the tower's front door. He then joins Mario and his friends by making them honorary members of the [[Koopa Troop]].
-After reaching the tower's top floor, Mario enters Booster's room, which is right before the balcony where Toadstool is held captive. Just then, Booster enters and Mario is forced to hide behind some curtains. Booster and his Snifits look around for the former's Mario doll, and eventually head out to the balcony, with Mario and his friends in hot pursuit. However, they have already made off with Toadstool, and two helpers of Booster, [[Knife Guy]] and [[Grate Guy]], battle Mario, but are bested in the end.
+After heading to the highest level of the large tower, Mario enters Booster's room, right before the balcony where Toadstool is held captive. However, Booster enters and Mario hides behind curtains.

Mario and his friends follow him onto the balcony. However, Booster and Toadstool have disappeared, and two helpers of Booster, [[Knife Guy]] and [[Grate Guy]], battle Mario.
-Mario races after Booster, who runs up [[Booster Hill]] with Toadstool. He attempts to marry her in the town of [[Marrymore]], but Mario disrupts the wedding. Just before he and Toadstool can exit the chapel to head back to Mushroom Kingdom, the creators of the wedding cake, [[Chef Torte]] and his [[Apprentice (Torte)|Apprentice]], angry because of their wasted efforts, fight Mario. During the battle, their [[Cake (boss)|cake]] comes to life and attacks, but is ultimately eaten by Booster. Mario and Toadstool go back to Mushroom Castle, where they are welcomed. She, though, wants to aid Mario in his adventure, and so with the help of her [[Granny|chambermaid]], Toadstool is able to sneak out of the castle and arrange for her to remain unnoticed, and officially joins Mario's party. Mallow suggests asking Frogfucius if he knows anything about any missing Star Pieces.

-Once at Tadpole Pond, Frogfucius tells Mario that he has heard of a Star Piece falling onto [[Star Hill]]. Mario finds the fourth Star Piece soon after arriving, away from any member of the Smithy Gang.
-Mario's next stop is [[Seaside Town]]. There, he hears from the village "[[elder]]" that a star fell into the neighboring [[sea]]. He asks Mario to get it for him. Mario, knowing that it is a Star Piece, heads there. He goes through the grottoes by the sea and finally sets foot onto shore. Underwater, he enters a [[Sunken Ship|sunken ship]] on the seabed.

-After conquering him, Mario reaches the lower levels of the ship, and meets [[Johnny|Jonathan "Johnny" Jones]], the captain of the ship. Johnny claims the Star Piece for himself as it fell into "his" sea, though Mario is able to win the Star Piece in a duel with him.
+After a battle with the monstrosity, Mario reaches the lower levels of the ship, and eventually meets [[Jonathan Jones]], the shark owner of the ship. Jones claims the Star Piece for himself as it fell into "his" sea. However, Mario is able to win the Star Piece in a battle with Jones and leaves the ship.
-Upon returning to Seaside Town, Mario is stopped by the "elder", who reveals himself as [[Speardovich|Yaridovich]], a spear-like member of the Smithy Gang, and who had disguised himself as the town's entire population in order to trick Mario into searching for the Star Piece for him. Yaridovich pressures Mario into handing over the Star Piece and flees, and Mario runs after him. Since Yaridovich's getaway vehicle, the battleship [[The Blade|Blade]], is unavailable, he sees himself forced to swim away, but Johnny arrives and blocks his escape route. Cornered, Yaridovich changes into his real form and battles Mario's party, but fails, and the group regains the fifth Star Piece and saves the denizens of Seaside Town. Mario learns from the real elder that, apparently, there is a [[Starslap|star]] in Monstro Town, a settlement populated by reformed monsters located at the far side of Land's End.
+Upon returning to Seaside Town, Mario is stopped by the "Town Elder" and various other Toads. The "Town Elder" reveals himself to be [[Yaridovich]], a spear-like member of the Smithy Gang.

-===Land's End===
+===World 5: [[Land's End]]===
-And so, Mario and his friends move on to [[Land's End]]. They climb a mountain and traverse a desert area, but then they are unable to go any higher because the cliff beyond the desert is too tall. So they are forced to take a detour down some desert whirlpools, and at some point end up underground, at [[Belome Temple]]. There, they encounter Belome for a second time. The hungry monster tries to eat them, but again is vanquished. After the fight, Mario goes through a [[Warp Pipe]] and reaches [[Monstro Town]].
+Looking for the sixth Star Piece, Mario and his friends travel to [[Land's End]]. After climbing the mountain and clearing the desert area, they are unable to proceed because the cliff is too high. So they search a way to the underground and end up in [[Belome Temple]]. There, they encounter Belome for a second time. The hungry dog monster tries to eat them, but again gets defeated. After the fight, Mario goes further underground and reaches [[Monstro Town]].
-There, he asks [[Monstermama]] about the Star Pieces, and after clearing up a misunderstanding, she says that the sixth Star Piece has to be somewhere in the clouds, as there is no place left on land to look for it. To help Mario climb the huge cliff in Land's End and therefore ascend, she calls [[Sergeant Flutter]]. With the help of Flutter and his [[Koopa Paratroopa|Sky Troopas]], Mario and his friends discover [[Bean Valley]]. In a Warp Pipe at the end of it, a [[Beezo|Shy Away]] grows a giant [[Piranha Plant]], [[Smilax]], according to the orders of someone called [[Valentina]]. Mario and company have to beat it to gain access to the giant beanstalk which leads up into [[Beanstalk (Super Mario RPG)|the clouds]] and [[Nimbus Land]].

-As Mario reaches Nimbus Land's plaza, Valentina, the royal aide, gives a speech to the [[Nimbus|citizens]], in which she says that [[King Nimbus]] is ill at the moment and cannot do his business, and introduces the giant bird [[Dodo]] as the long-lost Prince Mallow. Though Dodo looks nothing like a local and cannot speak, Valentina claims the "prince" wants to marry her, thus making her the queen of Nimbus Land. She then enters Nimbus Castle, which has been closed to the public.

-Though Mallow does not realize at first that he is the actual prince, he is told so by [[Garro]], a sculptor for the royal family. Garro agrees to help Mario and Mallow foil Valentina. He disguises Mario as one of his statues, and takes him into Nimbus Castle without arousing suspicion. Once inside, Mario barely escapes Dodo's wrath and Valentina's guards' attention, leaving him free to fight his way through the heavily guarded castle.

-On their route through it, Mario's team encounters a giant egg called [[Shelly]], which turns out to contain [[Birdo]], who works for Valentina. After getting the better of her, Mario reaches the rearmost part of the castle and challenges Valentina and Dodo. They run away and Mario gives chase.

-Following that, Mallow is reunited with his parents, [[King Nimbus|King]] and [[Queen Nimbus]]. They say they heard a Star Piece has fallen into the nearby [[Barrel Volcano]]. Mario's team leaps off the clouds from the royal hot spring zone and fall right into the vent of the volcano. The heroes fight their way through, eventually facing the [[Czar Dragon]], the guardian of the sixth Star Piece. They manage to overcome it and its resurrected form, the undead [[Zombone]].

On Blade, Mario and company defeat all the Axem Rangers and also destroy the ship's [[Breaker Beam]]. Blade is destroyed, and Mario finally gets the sixth Star Piece.

-After meeting King and Queen Nimbus again, Mario and his friends take Nimbus Land's [[royal bus]] to assail Bowser's Keep, which is unreachable through any other means.
+After meeting King and Queen Nimbus again, Mario and his friends take Nimbus Land's [[Royal Bus]] to get access to Bowser's Keep, which is unreachable through any other means because Exor destroyed the bridge to the nearby [[Vista Hill]].
-Mario enters the castle, and soon comes across [[The Trial Course|a room with doors to six corridors]], of which he has to clear four. Two corridors are action courses, two are fighting areas, and two are puzzle courses led by [[Dr. Topper]]. After the required number of courses is cleared, Mario proceeds and fights a mind-controlled [[Wizakoopa|Magikoopa]]. After he is beaten, Magikoopa comes to his senses again and assists Mario's party by creating the [[magic treasure box]] as well as healing them.
+All members of the Koopa Troop in Bowser's Keep have either defected to or been brainwashed by the [[Smithy Gang]]. However, many are scared off by their former boss [[Bowser]]. Mario meets [[Croco]] again, who does not fight him this time, but rather offers him help by selling his items.
-Mario almost immediately reaches the final room of the keep, and gets onto the chandeliers he fought Bowser on at the beginning of the game. This time, the enemy is the [[Smithy Gang]] swordsman [[Boomer (Super Mario RPG)|Boomer]], though he is taken care of. The chandelier with Mario's party on it is transported upwards by a [[Shyndelier|Chandeli-ho]] to the highest tower of the keep. There, the party finally enters combat with [[Exor]], and manage to thwart it. Upon its defeat, Exor inhales Mario's party with its mouth, which acts as a portal to [[Weapon World|Smithy's world]].
+Mario then reaches a room with doors to six corridors, of which he has to clear four. Two corridors are action courses, two are fighting areas, and two are puzzle courses led by [[Dr. Topper]]. In the fighting areas, Mario can encounter enemies such as the [[Chester]]. All enemies in the fighting areas are created by a brainwashed [[Kamek#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Magikoopa]] and the statues.
-[[Mario]], [[Mallow]], [[Geno]], [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach|Toadstool]] are brought to the road to Smithy's base of operations for the invasion of Mario's world. In this gloomy world, [[Machine Made]]s abound, metallic copies produced en masse of Smithy Gang members that Mario has faced before: [[Claymorton|Mack]], [[Bowyer]], [[Speardovich|Yaridovich]], and the [[Axem Rangers]]. Along the way, they fight [[Count Down]], a giant stopwatch.
+After the required amount of courses is cleared, Mario proceeds and fights the brainwashed Magikoopa. After its defeat, the Magikoopa comes to its senses again and helps out Mario's party, creating a [[Treasure chest|Treasure Box]]es with unlimited coins as well as healing them. Croco also appears for a second time offering his items.
-They also battle the duo of [[Cloaker]] and [[Domino]], and their [[Bad Adder|pet]] [[Mad Adder|snake]]. Nonetheless, even with the help of the snake, they are bested by Mario. Mario and company then enter the production lines of the [[Factory (Super Mario RPG)|Factory]] proper. There, they have to challenge the Factory's [[Clerk]], [[Manager]], and [[Director]] before meeting the [[Factory Chief]]. The Factory Chief uses the [[Gunyolk]] in battle, but Mario's team still overcomes him.
+Mario reaches the final room of the keep again, and gets onto the chandeliers he fought Bowser on at the beginning of the game. This time, the enemy is the [[Smithy Gang]] swordsman [[Boomer (boss)|Boomer]]. After Mario and his friends defeat Boomer, he falls down. The chandelier with Mario on it is transported upwards by a [[Chandeli-ho]] to the highest tower of the keep. There, Mario's party finally enters combat with [[Exor]]. The giant sword foe is shielded by its eyes in battle. However, after the eyes are "knocked out", Mario and company can defeat Exor. However, with his last ounce of strength, [[Exor]] inhales Mario and his party with its mouth, the Neosquid, which acts as a portal to Smithy's dimension.
-[[File:FinalBattleSMRPG.png|left|frame|Mario and the gang meet [[Smithy]].]]
+[[Mario]], [[Mallow]], [[Geno]], [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach|Toadstool]] are brought to Smithy's [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]], his base of operation for the invasion of Mushroom Kingdom. In the gloomy universe, they have to fight many previous enemies a second time. Notably, [[Machine Made]]s, which are gray copies of [[Mack]], [[Bowyer]], [[Yaridovich]] and the [[Axem Rangers]], are produced en masse in the Factory. Additionally, they encounter [[Count Down]], a giant clock which is controlled by the bell-like [[Ding-A-Ling]]s.
-The five heroes at last meet [[Smithy]] himself in the basement of the Factory. Smithy constantly creates weapons with his hammer and the [[Smelter]]. On top of that, he holds the seventh and last Star Piece. Refusing to give it away, he engages Mario and his allies in battle. Despite employing the Smelter to create [[Shyper]]s to aid him in battle, he is soon defeated. Enraged, he slams the floor with his hammer and the floor gives way, and Smithy, along with Mario and company, falls down to a dark area below the Factory.
-Furious, Smithy changes into his real form for the final battle. With his hammer, he has the power to transform his head into five different forms, all with special abilities. However, after a long battle, he is trounced and destroyed by Mario and company, who proceed to claim the final Star Piece.
+They also fight the duo of [[Cloaker]] and [[Domino]]. When either one of them is defeated, the other runs away to make use of his giant snake. Domino's snake is [[Mad Adder]], while Cloaker's is [[Earth Link]]. However, even with the help of the snake, he is defeated by Mario. Mario and company then enter the production lines of the Factory. There, they have to fight the Factory's [[Clerk]], [[Manager]] and [[Director]] before meeting the [[Factory Chief]]. The Factory Chief is using the [[Gunyolk]] in battle. However, he still is defeated by Mario.

+The five heroes finally meet [[Smithy]] at the basement of the Factory. Smithy is constantly creating more weapons with his hammer and the [[Smelter]]. He also holds the seventh and last Star Piece. Refusing to give it away, he starts to fight Mario and his allies. At first, he use the Smelter to create [[Shyper]]s to aide him in battle. However, he is soon defeated. Angry, he slams the floor with his hammer several times. Because the floor has only been constructed the day before, it breaks and [[Smithy]], along with Mario and company, falls down to a dark area below the Factory.

+As the credits roll, there is a [[parade]] featuring every character in it. In his only confirmed appearance in the game, [[Luigi]] is the parade grand marshal.
-Mario traverses an overworld filled with NPCs and enemies. If he touches an enemy, the player is taken to a turn-based battle with said foe and possibly other foes.
-Worlds are broken up into levels which must be traveled to using the map screen. Usually, Mario must complete an objective before he can progress to the next section of a world. During the adventure, the player occasionally must play a minigame in order to progress.
+==Sidequests==
-===Controls===
+During their adventure, Mario and his friends are free to visit several optional places in the world.
-{|class="wikitable"
-!Controller
+The biggest of them is [[Yo'ster Isle]], the home island of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], which can be reached via the [[Pipe Vault]] between Rose Town and Moleville. The Pipe Vault is held in the traditional side-scrolling manner of earlier ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and features classical enemies such as [[Piranha Plant]]s. On Yo'ster Isle, Mario meets Yoshi and can ride him. On Yoshi's back, Mario will be able to talk to other Yoshis on the island, with Yoshi translating their words from the Yoshi language. On Yoshi's back, Mario can compete in the Mushroom Derby, a racing [[minigame]], against the island's champion, the rude Boshi. Entry into the derby requires [[Yoshi Cookie]]s. After winning the Mushroom Derby, Mario has access to Yoshi Cookies outside the island. He can summon Yoshi in battle, who will swallow smaller enemies, leaving back a certain item or a [[Yoshi Candy]].

-!Battle
+Another optional place to visit is [[Grate Guy's Casino]], which opens after Mario's quest to Nimbus Land. To enter it, Mario has to get the membership card by Knife Guy in Booster's Tower, then find the secret entrance to the casino in Bean Valley. The casino offers several minigames to win coins.
-!Menu
-|-
+In Monstro Town, there is a sealed door. Mario only can open it with a Shiny Stone, which he can get from a girl mole in [[Moleville]] if the player gives her fireworks, which they can get from a male mole in Moleville for 500 coins. When they open the door, the player will then meet [[Culex]].

+[[Mario]] fights with two of his four partners at a time, though he is able to switch partners outside of battle. The characters have many stats that grow as they level up:
-[[File:SMRPG Stats.png|thumb|The stats of Mario at level 20]]
-*''HP'', or hit points, show the amount of damage a character can take. When it reaches 0, the character is knocked out and unable to fight unless revived. Having the entire party knocked out ends the game and the player automatically restarts from their last save.
+*''HP'', or hit points, show the amount of damage a character can take. When it reaches 0, the character is knocked out and unable to fight unless revived. Having the entire party knocked out means Game Over, but the player automatically restarts from his/her last save.
 *''Speed'' affects how often and in what order the character fights. Characters with a high speed attack before any other allies or enemies, and could attack multiple times before another character attacks once depending on their speed.
-*''Attack'' is the physical strength of the character. Combined with the character's weapon, it adds up to a final value that affects how much damage they deal to an opponent with physical attacks.
+*''Attack'' is the physical strength of the character. Combined with the character's weapon, it adds up to a final value that affects how much damage they will deal to an opponent with physical attacks.
-*''Defense'', combined with the character's armor, reduces the amount of damage a character receives from an enemy's normal physical attack.

-*''Magic Attack'' affects the strength of a character's special skill.
+*''Magic Attack'' affects how strong a character's special skill will be.
 *''Magic Defense'' is similar to defense, but only protects against enemies' special skills, not regular attacks.
-Every time a character levels up, they can choose one of three groups of stats to gain a bonus point in: Attack and Defense, HP, or Magic Attack and Magic Defense. Depending on the character's level, the amount of bonus points given to a group of stats is boosted. Starting at level 2, the order of the boosted bonuses is magic, HP, and physical which then repeats cyclically. All of the party members require the same number of experience points to reach the next level. The maximum level each character can reach is 30. The specifics of the party's level up progression is detailed [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars level up progressions|here]].
+In addition, each time a character levels up, they can choose one of three groups of stats to gain a bonus in: attack and defense, HP, or magic attack and magic defense. Special skills can be performed by using flower points, or [[FP]]. These flower points are not raised by leveling up, but by special items such as the [[Flower Tab]]. Occasionally and at random, an item will be used without being consumed as normal, called a "freebie" by the game.
 Battles begin by moving into an enemy on a main game map. In battle, characters have four options:
 *''Attack'', which allows the character to perform a basic attack using the weapon they have equipped.
-*''Item'', which allows them to use one of the items they have on themselves, an ally, an enemy, or a group of allies or enemies depending on the item. Occasionally, an item is used without being consumed as it normally happens, called a "freebie" by the game.
+*''Item'', which allows them to use one of the items they have on themselves, an ally, an enemy, or a group of allies or enemies depending on the item.
 *''Special'', which allows the character to use one of the special moves they have acquired by leveling up.
 *''Etc''., which gives the character the option of defending, ensuring they receive less damage if they are hit by enemy, or running away, which may or may not be possible depending on the enemy being fought and random chance.
-[[File:SMRPG Bonus Flower.png|thumb|Geno receiving a Bonus Flower from a defeated enemy]]
-Many of these options can be improved by the use of [[Action Command|action command]]s, most commonly the "Timed Hit" which helps them in many ways when the player presses any button at the correct time. Depending on the timing, these commands can increase physical damage by 1.5x if done okay, or 2x if done well. They can also block half damage from physical damage if done okay, and all of it if done well. Magical attacks can be timed as well for more damage. However, enemy magic attacks and some physical attacks cannot be blocked in this manner. Attacks that can be blocked are indicated by stars flying out of a party member when they are hit.

However, any enemy magic attack (and some physical attacks) cannot be blocked in this manner. In addition, a correctly Timed Hit with an Item can result in a "Freebie", meaning that an item is used, but not consumed from the inventory. However, the timing window for doing this is very narrow.
-===Special moves===
-{{main|List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars special moves}}
-[[File:SMRPG HPRain.png|thumb|[[HP Rain]], Mallow's initial special move]]
-Mario's party members have special moves that are unique to the character which they learn by leveling up. When they join the party, they start with one special move except for Princess Toadstool who starts with two special moves. Flower Points are required to perform these moves and the available FP is shared between all of the members. These Flower Points are not raised by leveling up, but by using special items such as the [[Flower Tab]]. Stronger special moves unlocked at higher levels typically require more FP to use. Enemies also have access to moves that use FP. Some of these moves have elemental properties that can be nullified with certain armor and accessories. If an enemy uses all of its FP, the message "Monster's FP is gone!" appears on the screen. In addition, enemies have special attacks which do not use FP but do more damage than their typical physical attacks.
-===Status effects===
+After defeating an enemy, the character who defeated it will occasionally receive a [[Special Flower|flower]] that gives them a special bonus. Through enough stat bonuses after battling, each member of the party can reach a maximum level of 30.
-Both Mario's party members and enemies can inflict status effects, depending on the attack. For some status effects, they wear off after enough time passes. At the end of the battle, all status effects are cured. Certain accessories nullify negative status effects.

-[[File:RPGMario.png|thumb|75px|Mario]]
+[[File:RPGMario.png|thumb|75px|right|Mario.]]
-Hero of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the main protagonist of the story. Mario attempts to rescue Princess Toadstool from Bowser again, but is sent flying by Exor crashing into the keep. Now he must go on an entirely new adventure as he fights off Smithy's army of mechanical minions and recovers the seven [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]]s. He is the one who navigates the overworld, and he cannot be switched out for any other of his teammates.
+In battle, Mario uses powerful attacks, hitting his enemies with various [[Hammer]]s, [[Koopa Shell]]s or simply his hands. His magic attacks involve [[jump]]ing and fire magic. When Mario falls in battle, his allies can still fight on and win the battle for him.

+[[File: Mallow.gif|thumb|100px|left|Mallow.]]
-Mallow is the first partner that Mario meets, joining Mario during his first visit to [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]]. He is, at first, believed to be a simple [[tadpole]] from [[Tadpole Pond]] even though he looks nothing like one. He was raised by Frogfucius who found him floating in a basket as a baby. Later, when Mallow and Mario visit Frogfucius, it is revealed that Mallow is not a frog and that his real parents are out there, somewhere. Later in the game, Mario and his party visit [[Nimbus Land]], whose citizens are all of the same species as Mallow. There, Mallow discovers that he is a prince and his parents are [[King Nimbus|King]] and [[Queen Nimbus]].

-Mallow has a variety of attacks useful for attacking all of the enemies at one time. He has powerful control over the weather: outside of battle, when he cries, a heavy rainstorm starts. In battle, he can summon things from lightning to snow to a healing rain. In addition, he has a harmless but useful attack, [[Thought Peek|Psychopath]], that shows how much HP an enemy has remaining and a quote from the enemy's mind when the player manages to do a Timed Hit.

+[[File:Smrpg bowser.gif|75px|thumb|left|Bowser.]]
-The ruthless leader of the [[Bowser's Minions|Koopa Troop]] and Mario's arch-nemesis, Bowser starts out as an enemy, but is the third to join Mario's party in due time. He kidnaps Princess Toadstool and fights Mario as the first boss of the game. But then, after getting thrown out of his own keep by the Smithy Gang, Bowser becomes determined to take it back with his remaining minions, though they all eventually desert him. After meeting Mario and his new friends at Booster's Tower, he decides to join them to get his keep back under the pretense of making them honorary members of his army. This marks the first time in the series where Bowser joins Mario's side.
+Bowser, for the first time in the series, joins Mario's side. His goal was to take his keep back from Smithy's gang. He and Mario reluctantly join at [[Booster Tower]].

 ===[[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]===
-[[File:SMRPG Peach Artwork.png|75px|thumb|Princess Toadstool]]
+[[File:SMRPG_Peach.gif|75px|thumb|right|Princess Toadstool.]]
-The fair ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Toadstool is the last to join Mario's team. She is kidnapped by Bowser at the beginning of the game, and, right before Mario can rescue her, is sent flying off out of Bowser's castle. After falling from the sky, she is discovered by [[Booster]] and held in his tower. Booster attempts to marry her, but she is eventually rescued by the heroes and returned to Mushroom Kingdom, apparently to stay. However, with the help of her chambermaid, who disguises herself as the princess, Toadstool is able to sneak away to accompany Mario on his quest.
+Princess Toadstool/Peach is the last to join. She was kidnapped at the beginning of the game, and, right when Mario rescued her, was sent flying off. After falling from the sky, she was discovered by [[Booster]] and held in his tower. Booster attempted to marry her, but she was eventually rescued by Mario and returned to the Mushroom Kingdom, apparently to stay. However, with the help of her grandmother, who disguised herself as the princess, Toadstool sneaked away to join Mario's party.
 Her special skills are mostly defensive (with two crowd control spells in her mix) and healing, not offensive. Her healing skills can be incredibly useful, she can resurrect a fallen partner, and she can make a battle against tough foes and large crowds easier by putting them to sleep or by muting spell casters.

-===Melody Bay===
+==Bosses==
-Located next to Tadpole Pond is [[Melody Bay]]. By playing various melodies taught to the player using the bay's [[tadpole]]s, [[Toadofsky]] gives Mario cards he can use at [[List of shops in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars#Tadpole Pond|the Juice Bar]].
+{{main|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars bestiary}}
+Mario encounters many adversaries during the course of ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''; the main antagonists are the [[Smithy Gang]], members of which are listed in bold below.
-===Goomba thumping===
+Unlike the ''Paper Mario'' series, there are no definable "chapters", and therefore there are no definable "chapter bosses"; any significant enemy with higher HP is considered a boss.
-{{main|Goomba-thumping}}
+{|
-In the Pipe Vault, Mario can play Goomba thumping for ten coins. In the minigame, Mario must jump on as many Goombas and [[Gold Goomba]]s as he can in thirty seconds, while avoiding Spikeys. The enemies emerge from [[Warp Pipe]]s and move faster the more points Mario accumulates.
+|
+*[[Bowser]] & [[Kinklink]]
-===Mushroom Derby===
+*[[Hammer Bro]]s.
-[[File:Boshi Race Screenshot - Super Mario RPG.png|thumb|Mario and Yoshi racing against Boshi]]
-{{main|Mushroom Derby}}
-On Yo'ster Isle, Mario can participate in the Mushroom Derby. When Mario arrives to the island for the first time, Boshi has taken over the event and only allows one-on-one races with him. To challenge him, Mario must get [[Yoshi Cookie]]s from a Yoshi. During the race, the player has to alternately press {{button|snes|a}} and {{button|snes|b}} to the music's tempo. Additionally, the player can press {{button|snes|y}} to feed Yoshi a cookie, making him automatically dash for a bit. Winning this race allows all of the Yoshis to join the Mushroom Derby. Past this point, Mario has the option to bet cookies on Yoshi. He can improve the odds of Yoshi coming out as the victor by riding him.
-===Moleville Mountain===
-{{main|Moleville Mountain}}
-After collecting the Star Piece in the Coal Mines, Mario must ride a [[Mine Cart|trolley]] to exit the mountain. During the ride, the player can:
-*jump by pressing {{button|snes|b}}, so as to avoid pits and collect Mushrooms and coins;
-*brake by pressing either {{button|snes|a}} or {{button|snes|y}}, to avoid derailing and losing time in the case of the trolley going too fast before turns, especially sharp ones;
-*make use of the [[Dash Mushroom|mushrooms]] they collect by pressing {{button|snes|x}}, that way giving the trolley a speed boost;
-*honk the trolley's horn by pressing {{button|snes|l}} or {{button|snes|r}}, though this has no actual effect besides the sound.
-Later, the moles open a path directly to the trolley and charge Mario ten coins to ride it. Alternatively, Mario can wager thirty coins and beat the record to get fifty coins.
-===Beetle Race===
-{{main|Beetle Race}}
-By purchasing a [[Beetle Box]] and returning to Booster Hill, Mario can play Beetle Race. As he runs up the hill, he must catch [[beetle (Super Mario RPG)|beetle]]s of differing rarities while bouncing off barrels and Booster's [[Snifster|Snifit]]s to reach them. He can bring the beetles he has collected to [[Beetles Are Us]] and exchange them for coins and Frog Coins.
-===Beetle Mania===
-After Mario and his party rescue Toadstool in [[Marrymore]], the player can return to Mushroom Kingdom, enter the [[inn]], and talk to [[Game Boy Toad|a young Mushroom person in the corner]]. After talking to him several times, he offers Mario a minigame, [[Beetle Mania]], for five hundred coins. In the minigame, the player controls a beetle, who must fire yellow stars to destroy red Koopa shells and so gain points, while avoiding the shells and the red stars they produce once they are destroyed. Also, these red stars can destroy other shells, allowing the player to start chain reactions and obtain even more points. If the beetle is hit, it can recover by repeatedly pressing the fire button before a countdown to three can finish.
-===Battle with Culex===
-In Monstro Town, there is a sealed door. Mario can only open it with a [[Shiny Stone]], which he can get from a girl mole in [[Moleville]] if the player gives her [[fireworks]], sold by a mole man in the same town for five hundred coins. The player can then open the door and meet [[Culex]], whom can be battled. Upon his defeat, he rewards Mario with the [[Quartz Charm]].
-===Climbing Challenge===
-After [[Sergeant Flutter]] and the Sky Troopas arrive at the huge cliff past the desert in Land's End, Mario is timed on how fast he can scale the wall by using the Sky Troopas as platforms. By doing so fast enough, Sergeant Flutter gives him an item.
-===Grate Guy's Casino===
-[[Grate Guy's Casino]] is a location which offers several minigames to win coins. To reach and enter it, Mario has to get the Bright Card as a prize for winning Knife Guy's minigame twelve consecutive times in Booster's Tower, and also find the secret entrance to the casino in Bean Valley. The three games available at the casino are a slot machine, blackjack, and "[[Look the other way]]".
-===Hidden treasure locations===
-[[File:HiddenChest05.png|thumb|Mario with an opened hidden treasure in the Rose Town item shop]]
-{{main|Hidden Treasure}}
-In this game, Mario can discover hidden [[treasure chest|treasure]]s, scattered throughout [[Mario World|Mario's world]]. There are thirty-nine hidden treasures in total. The player is directly told about these hidden treasures by an elderly Mushroom person in the basement of Mushroom Kingdom's item shop. A friendly [[Comeon|Chester]] in Monstro Town tells Mario how many hidden treasures are yet to be found.
-{{br}}
-==Services==
-[[File:SMRPG Inn.png|thumb|Mario sleeping at an inn]]
-===Inns===
-Inns allow Mario and his party members to heal their HP and FP for a small fee. They are indicated by a spinning [[Super Star|star]] sign by the door. The inns at Marrymore and Nimbus Land provide extra services for additional coins, while Mario's Pad and the lone bed in Monstro Town can be used for free by turning off the [[Fungi Light]].
-===Shops===
-{{main|List of shops in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}
-Throughout the game, there are shops Mario can purchase items and equipment from. They are generally indicated by a spinning [[Mushroom]] sign, a wooden counter, or both. They are found in every town and populated area, and some can even be found in remote places, such as in the [[Sunken Ship]] and [[Barrel Volcano]]. Tool shops<ref>{{cite|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' instruction manual|page=18|language=en-us}}</ref> sell weapons, armor, items, or some combination of these: the selection of goods that each shop has is unique. Special shops<ref>{{cite|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' instruction manual|page=19|language=en-us}}</ref> offer for sale one-of-a-kind items, function differently than the typical tool shop, or both.
-===Frogfucius===
-By talking to Frogfucius at Tadpole Pond, Mario can get hints on how to progress in his adventure, or general advice that can come in handy.
-==Friendly NPCs==
-Many friendly characters are found in the world's various communities. They can be spoken to by standing next to them or standing across the counter in the case of shopkeepers and innkeepers, and pressing {{button|snes|a}}. Mario can stand on the heads of other characters, but this usually has no effect.

-===Bosses===
+==Virtual Console differences==
-Mario encounters many adversaries during the course of ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''; the main antagonists are the [[Smithy Gang]].
+One attack used by many bosses, [[Flame Wall]], looks radically different from the original game. In the original version, a wave of red, orange, and yellow flows to the left of the screen. In the Virtual Console version, the wave is separated, only red, and somewhat faded. Also, [[Static E!]] is changed from a bright, blue & white flash to a deep blue one. This was changed in order to avoid players possibly having seizures{{refneeded}}. Also, [[Moleville]] has a considerably darker color scheme. Otherwise, the game was not localized. This means keeping the American SNES dark/light purple button layout in battle mode and against Bowyer, while the European SNES has the {{button|snes|A}}/{{button|snes|B}}/{{button|snes|X}}/{{button|snes|Y}} buttons colored as in the Japanese version.
-Unlike the ''Paper Mario'' series, there are no defined "chapters" or "chapter bosses"; here, any significant enemy with higher HP is considered a boss. Most bosses have distinct battle music ([[Smithy Gang]] leaders have a special theme) and a "fading away" or otherwise-distinct defeat animation. The party's HP and FP are usually fully restored after defeating a boss.
+For the PAL version, Bowser's victory pose was changed to the North American version because the original has Bowser giving a gesture which is viewed as saying "Up yours" in most of Europe.

+''Set in the Mushroom Kingdom and featuring its cast of well-known characters, this adventure RPG begins with a familiar scenario. Mario™ must rescue Princess Toadstool™ from Bowser™. However, a mysterious new enemy named Smithy soon appears, and Mario and Bowser are forced to fight as allies for the first time in their long history. In the quest to defeat their powerful new foe, they'll journey across a wide variety of locations ([[Moleville|a town of mining moles]], [[Forest Maze|a tropical forest]], [[Midas River|a thundering waterfall]]—just to name a few) and tackle a mix of obstacles requiring both expert timing and strategy to overcome. Along the way, they'll gain experience and grow more powerful, while also meeting new characters whose unique abilities will be needed to take on Smithy and his gang. Striking a perfect balance of traditional RPG elements and the action-packed game play Mario is famous for, it's easy to see why this title has earned "legendary" status!''

+==Cameos and references==
-Five types of [[Bonus Flower]]s can be earned in battle from certain defeated enemies. Their effects are immediate.
+[[File:SMRPG 8bitMario.png|thumb|8-Bit Mario, seen in Booster's Tower.]]
+''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' features many references to other series by [[Nintendo]] or [[Square Enix]]. Some of them include:
+*[[Link]] can be found sleeping in the [[Rose Town]] inn after beating [[Bowyer]] in the [[Forest Maze]]. When talked to, a jingle that normally sounds when a secret is discovered in the [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda series]] plays, along with a text box saying ".....", referencing Link's normally silent role in his games.
+*[[Samus Aran]] can be found sleeping in the guest bed of [[Princess Peach's Castle|Toadstool's Castle]] after beating [[Yaridovich]] and obtaining the 5th Star Piece, and will be there until the player goes to [[Bean Valley]]. When spoken to, she'll say she's resting up for Mother Brain, the final boss of the ''Metroid'' series.
+*A Samus action figure can be found in a toy box in [[Booster Tower]].
+*[[Hinopio]] in the [[Barrel Volcano]] has models of [[Captain Falcon]]'s and [[Assist Trophy|Samurai Goroh]]'s spacecraft, and an [[Arwing]] from the ''[[Fox McCloud|Star Fox]]'' series.
+*[[Culex]] (and his [[Crystals]]) is an optional boss designed to resemble the ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy]]'' bosses. During and after the battle with him, ''Final Fantasy'' music is played. The music heard is a rearrangement of the Boss Battle theme in ''Final Fantasy IV'' and after the battle, the famous ''Final Fantasy Victory Theme'' plays.
+** "Here Are Some Weapons!" shares a lot of similarities with "Slam Shuffle", Zozo Town's theme in Final Fantasy VI
+*[[Donkey Kong]] look-alikes, known as [[Guerilla]]s and [[Chained Kong]]s appear in the [[Forest Maze]] and [[Barrel Volcano]]. One action sequence in Bowser's Keep involves climbing a ledge while avoiding barrels by jumping, defeating a Guerilla at the top. This is a direct homage to the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade game.
+*For a short period of time, [[Mario]] can turn into a 8-bit version in the Booster Tower. This can only happen once.
+*The enemy [[Bahamutt]] is named after the powerful dragon Bahamut from the ''Final Fantasy'' series.
+*Another reference to the ''Final Fantasy'' series involves the [[Czar Dragon]]: a superboss of the same name was dummied from ''Final Fantasy VI''.

-*"''Mario! Let's say you and I get hitched in a few years, okay? Just... give me time to grow into my mother's wedding dress.''" - [[Toad (species)|Mushroom child]]
-*"''Stick for a body, head full of straw, give me a scarecrow, rah, rah, RAH!''" - [[Belome]]
-*"''Hmmm... Drink punch...eat cake...? It sounds...complicated. I don't know if I can muster the energy to do it... Let's walk through it once! It's wedding rehearsal time!''" - [[Booster]]
-*"''It's been so quiet around here, it's almost eerie... Is something going on? It probably doesn't concern me. But if you have any Frog Coins, I've got some neat items to sell.''" - [[Frogfucius' Student]]
-*"''It's really weird. Sometimes I heard the guy next door. He's always mumbling about a Crystal-this and an Evil-that. Isn't a "Crystal" some kind of shiny rock...or something? I know I've seen those somewhere!''" - [[Piranha Plant]]
-==Differences with Virtual Console releases==
+''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' was developed by Squaresoft, with directing duties being split between Chihiro Fujioka and Yoshihiko Maekawa. [[Yoko Shimomura]] composed the soundtrack. Several members of the staff, including the aforementioned composer and directors, would later join [[AlphaDream]] and work on the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]] series.
-[[File:SMRPG Moleville Virtual Console.png|thumb|The altered Moleville palette]]
-One attack used by many bosses, [[Flame Wall]], looks radically different from the original game. In the original version, a wave of red, orange, and yellow flows to the left of the screen. In the Virtual Console version, the wave is separated, only red, and somewhat faded. Also, [[Static Electricity|Static E!]] is changed from a bright, blue and white flash to a deep blue one. This was changed in order to avoid players possibly having seizures. Also, [[Moleville]] has a considerably darker color scheme. Otherwise, the game was not localized. This means keeping the American SNES dark/light purple button layout in battle mode and against Bowyer, while the European SNES has the {{button|snes|A}}/{{button|snes|B}}/{{button|snes|X}}/{{button|snes|Y}} buttons colored as in the Japanese version.
-For the European version, Bowser's victory pose retains the North American version because the original Japanese version has Bowser giving a gesture which is viewed as saying "Up yours" in most of Europe. Also, the European version altered a line spoken by Croco early on in the game, changing the word "bugger" to "pest", due to "bugger" being a vulgar word in British English.
+The game was the last work of noted videogame translator [[Ted Woolsey]] at Squaresoft.

 {{main|List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars glitches}}
-===Mack skip===
+==={{conjecturaltext|Skip Mack}}===
-It is possible to skip over the battle with Mack. When the player gets to the room where Mack is faced, instead of going straight to battle him, the player can jump on top of the [[Shymore|Shyster]]s on the left side, and carefully walk on them. If the Mack scene does not trigger when the player falls off them, the glitch has been performed correctly. The player must then walk to the [[Chancellor]] in the corner, and talk to him to finish the glitch. The "[[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Pieces]]" option on the menu does not appear when this glitch is performed, as being victorious in the battle against Mack triggers the appearance of the menu.

-==Reception==
-The game is widely praised for its technical achievements, aesthetics, and the successful combination of a traditional RPG's turn-based combat with the platforming gameplay of the ''Super Mario'' series. ''{{wp|Electronic Gaming Monthly}}''{{'}}s "Review Crew" gives the game a combined average score of 8.75/10.<ref>{{cite|date=May 1996|title=''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' #82|page=30}}</ref> All four members praise the visuals, though the game for being too childish in appearance is a point of contention. The sound design is also praised, with Andrew Baran stating that the sounds are faithfully from the ''Super Mario'' franchise and Mike Desmond commending the work done by the SNES's sound processor. Mark Lefebvre states that the game avoids being too technically overwhelming for the player as with other RPG games, and notes that the game keeps its focus on the graphics and not in submenus during battles. Desmond adds that while the combat engine is similar to other RPGs, it is easy to use.
-Michael Higham of GameSpot points out the game's unique interpretation of the ''Super Mario'' universe and the strong characterization of the main cast.<ref>{{cite|author=Higham, Michael|date=March 10, 2021|url=www.gamespot.com/articles/why-super-mario-rpg-remains-the-best-mario-experience/1100-6488664|title=Why Super Mario RPG Remains The Best Mario Experience|publisher=GameSpot|accessdate=November 14, 2021}}</ref> He commends the game for being a breath of fresh air compared to the relatively dark themes of other RPGs at the time like ''{{iw|nwiki|Chrono Trigger}}'' and ''{{iw|nwiki|Final Fantasy (game)|Final Fantasy}}''. He also points out the music which has kept his memories of the game alive. He specifically mentions "Beware the Forest's Mushrooms!" and how it is the perfect example of "how standout melodies are supported by rhythms and harmonies" using 16-bit instruments.
-''[[Nintendo Power]]'' magazine praises the game for combining RPG and traditional ''Super Mario'' platforming elements. However, it does critique the game's title for being misleading and states "It's not just a RPG-it's an action-packed adventure."<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=May 1996|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 84|page=97}}</ref> Of the six editors, four of them selected the game as their editor pick. In volume 100 released in September 1997, it came in 21st place in "''Nintendo Power''{{'}}s 100 best Nintendo games of all time".

-|"''Excellent 3-D graphics and a rich variety of game play will appeal to a much wider audience than most traditional RPGs.

[...] In short, it's charming, it's fun and it's truly a Mario game.''"

-|"''Besides being completely overused, I feel Mario should just take a vacation until the N64 gives him a new home. His latest RPG puts him in the same old role as a plumber-hero with extraordinary skills. Mario RPG uses great in-combat graphics and continues Nintendo's tradition for clean animation and worthwhile visuals, however. But I feel the characters and the gamebase is a bit too childish for the demanding play and difficult battles against the hordes of opposing forces. If you can overlook these childish tendencies, Mario RPG will satisfy the majority of players with the enjoyable combat system and the many twists and turns in the plot. Mario fanatics don't bypass this title, it could possibly be the last of the 16-Bit RPGs.''"

-==Legacy==
-{{see also|Paper Mario#Similarities with Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}
-Though no direct sequel to ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' would come to pass, the next ''Super Mario'' role-playing game, ''[[Paper Mario]]'', [[list of Paper Mario pre-release and unused content|was announced]] under the title ''Super Mario RPG 2'' and the final game would retain multiple links to ''Super Mario RPG'' such as the [[Action Command|action command]] mechanic, the ending credits being presented as a parade, and versions of [[Star Hill]] and the [[Chancellor]] (though both were given a different name in the English translation), the concept of optional boss battles against a martial artist who is fought three times, and more.
-On the other hand, both of ''Super Mario RPG'''s co-directors and [[Yoko Shimomura|composer]] worked on ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', another ''Super Mario'' role-playing game, and following ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' games. The aforementioned game also features Geno as a cameo in the Star 'Stache Smash minigame and has a number of musical nods to ''Super Mario RPG'' in its soundtrack. Both ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and ''Paper Mario'' have been referred to by Nintendo as spiritual successors to ''Super Mario RPG''.<ref>{{cite|date=November 8, 2023|url=www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/adventure-with-mario-in-classic-rpgs-available-with-nintendo-switch-online-expansion-pack|title=Adventure with Mario in classic RPGs—available with Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack!|language=en-us|publisher=nintendo.com|accessdate=November 8, 2023|archive=web.archive.org/web/20231108223619/https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/adventure-with-mario-in-classic-rpgs-available-with-nintendo-switch-online-expansion-pack|quote=With an active [[Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]] membership, you can get your RPG fix while you wait with classic [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo 64]] Mario titles that were spiritual successors to the original Super NES game.}}</ref>

-''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' features many references to other series by [[Nintendo]] or [[Square Enix|Square]].
-*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': One action room in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] involves Mario avoiding a [[Guerrilla]] who throws barrels, similar to [[Donkey Kong]]'s behavior in this game.
-*[[Family Computer Disk System]]: A toy of the system's mascot, Diskun, makes a cameo appearance in the toy chest at the top of Booster's Tower. This is more clearly seen in the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]].<ref>{{cite|url=gamerant.com/super-mario-rpg-remake-cameos-mr-disk-diskun|publisher=GameRant|title=''Super Mario RPG'' Remake's Updated Graphics Confirm New Detail After 27 Years|author=Bošnjak, Dominik|date=June 22, 2023|accessdate=June 27, 2024|language=en}}</ref>
-*[[R.O.B.]]: A R.O.B. appears in the toy chest at the top of Booster's Tower.
 *''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': When Mario walks behind a curtained section in Booster Tower, he emerges as Mario appeared in this game. A soundclip from the game is played, and when he tries to exits the room the 'time running out' sound plays as he shrinks and runs back behind the curtain. If the player uses the bathroom in [[Marrymore]], an arrangement of the game's theme plays.
-*[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]: [[Link]] can be found sleeping in the [[Rose Town]] inn after beating [[Bowyer]] in the [[Forest Maze]]. When talked to, a jingle that is normally heard when a secret is discovered in the ''The Legend of Zelda'' series plays, along with a text box displaying: ".....", referencing Link's usual silent role in his games.
+*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': The music that plays in the battle against Bowser is a rearrangement of his theme from this game. The music that plays in Bowser's Keep also has a part of the same theme. Also, some of the Grass Land's theme is heard in the Flower Garden cutscene and for [[Mario's Pad]].
-*[[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]]: [[Samus]] can be found sleeping in the guest bed of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] after beating [[Speardovich|Yaridovich]] and obtaining the fifth Star Piece, and remains there until the player goes to [[Bean Valley]]. When spoken to in the Japanese version, she mumbles「オモロイド」(''Omoroido''), referencing a Japanese marketing tagline first used for ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid II: Return of Samus|Metroid II: Return of Samus]]''. In the English version, she instead says that she is resting up for [[metroidwiki:Mother Brain|Mother Brain]], the final boss of ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' and ''[[metroidwiki:Super Metroid|Super Metroid]]''. A Samus action figure can be found in a toy box in Booster Tower.
+*''[[Super Mario World]]'': When Mario enters the Rose Town inn for the first time, an arrangement of the overworld theme plays. Another cover of this theme plays when [[Lulla-Bye]] is used on a party member. Also, the Crescent Moon from [[Star World]] is shown in the background of the Star Road during the ending before the credits.
-*{{wp|Final Fantasy|''Final Fantasy'' series}}: [[Culex]] (and the [[Fire Crystal|Fire]], [[Water Crystal|Water]], [[Earth Crystal|Earth]], and [[Wind Crystal]]s) is an optional boss designed to resemble ''Final Fantasy'' final bosses. During and after the battle with him, ''Final Fantasy'' theme music is played. The music heard is a rearrangement of the Boss Battle theme in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy IV}}'' and after the battle, the famous ''Final Fantasy Victory Theme'' plays. In the English version, the enemy [[Bahamutt]] is named after the powerful dragon {{fandom|finalfantasy|Bahamut}}. A large number of UI elements (such as the main menu from which gear and items are selected) reflects the design of a ''Final Fantasy'' game's equivalent menu. Mallow's pants resemble those typically associated with the {{fandom|finalfantasy|Black Mage}} job.
-*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': The music that plays in the battle against Bowser is a rearrangement of his theme from this game. The background music in Bowser's Keep also features a part of the same theme. Also, some of [[Grass Land]]'s theme is heard in the flower garden introductory cutscene and for [[Mario Bros.' House|Mario's Pad]].
-*''[[Super Mario World]]'': The [[Koopa Clown Car]] reappears in the introductory cutscene. When Mario enters the Rose Town inn for the first time, an arrangement of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario World)|Ground Theme]] plays. Another cover of this theme plays when [[Lulla-Bye]] is used on a party member. Revealing an enemy's thoughts with [[Thought Peek|Psychopath]] plays the [[Message Block]] sound effect. The crescent moon from [[Star World]] is shown in the background of the [[Star Road (Super Mario RPG)|Star Road]] during the ending before the credits.
-*''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero|F-Zero]]'': [[Cinder Toad|Hinopio]] in the [[Barrel Volcano]] has models of [[Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon]]'s and [[fzerowiki:Samurai Goroh|Samurai Goroh]]'s spacecraft.
-*''{{wp|Final Fantasy V}}'': In the Japanese version, {{fandom|finalfantasy|Exdeath}} is a possible answer to [[Dr. Topper]]'s question: "''What's the first monster you see in the Pipe Vault?''" This was replaced by [[Nipper Plant|Chompweed]] in the English version.
-*''[[LylatWiki:Star Fox|Star Fox]]'': Hinopio also has a model of an [[Arwing]] from the ''[[Fox|Star Fox]]'' series.
-*''{{wp|Final Fantasy VI}}'': "Here Are Some Weapons!" shares a lot of similarities with "Slam Shuffle", the theme of the town of {{fandom|finalfantasy|Zozo}}. There is a figure of {{fandom|finalfantasy|Magitek armor|Magitek Armor}} on the desk at the entrance of Booster Tower. This is more clearly seen in the remake.<ref>{{cite|author=@BridgeOfFaust|date=September 15, 2023|url=x.com/BridgeOfFaust/status/1702709237112013207|title=A-ha!

[[Czar Dragon]] shares its name with an {{fandom|finalfantasy|Kaiser Dragon (Final Fantasy VI)|optional boss that was dummied out}}. Its second form, [[Zombone]], shares its name with an {{fandom|finalfantasy|Zombie Dragon (Final Fantasy VI)|enemy}}, which itself is {{fandom|finalfantasy|Zombie Dragon|recurring}} in the ''Final Fantasy'' series. In the Japanese version, {{fandom|finalfantasy|Kefka Palazzo|Kefka}} is a possible answer to Dr. Topper's question: "''Who is the ultimate enemy in this adventure?''" This was replaced by [[Goomba]] in the English version.
-*''[[nwiki:Stunt Race FX|Stunt Race FX]]'': A toy car that appears similar to the F-Type can be found in a toy box in Booster Tower.
-*''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'': Donkey Kong look-alikes known as Guerrillas and [[Chained Kong]]s appear in the [[Forest Maze]] and [[Barrel Volcano]] and are based on his redesign from this game. The bird on [[Valentina]]'s head is a homage to [[Squawks]].<ref>{{cite|author=@kurashimakaz|date=June 23, 2023|url=x.com/kurashimakaz/status/1672059029865263104|title=This is a homage.|publisher=X|accessdate=June 23, 2023|archive=web.archive.org/web/20230623084403/https://twitter.com/kurashimakaz/status/1672059029865263104|language=en}}</ref>
-*''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'': [[Wizakoopa|Magikoopa]]'s Psychopath message references [[Kamek]]'s involvement with the events of the game. His thought is 「キイーッウキイーーッ！　あの時の赤んぼう！？」 (''Kiii ukiii! The baby from that time!?'') in the Japanese version, which refers to recognizing the adult [[Baby Mario|Mario]]. His thought is "''That's...my child?''" in the English version, which instead refers to [[Baby Bowser|Bowser]], whom Kamek and the [[Toady|Toadies]] helped raise since a baby.

When being on a particular platform near Bowser's Castle, the character looks at the castle from far, similarly to how Mario does in ''Super Mario RPG'' if he goes to [[Vista Hill]]. The theme used in Peach's Castle after Fawful's takeover is also a rearrangement of the "Forest Maze" theme. Lastly, there is a very similar line in this game about [[Starlow|Chippy]] (known as Starlow to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]) joining the [[Koopa Troop]].
