''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''{{'}}s success was limited due to the release of the [[Nintendo 64]] and ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' later in the same year.

In Europe, the game was treated as an import game, meaning that only the 60Hz mode is supported and with no more translations than the original. The game was priced at 800 [[Virtual Console#Wii Points|Wii Points]] in North America and Japan and 900 points in other regions. ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' is also one of the 21 titles included on the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System#Super NES Classic Edition|Super NES Classic Edition]].
