A standard battle in Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)
Mario successfully blocking a Wiggler's attack, resulting in the Chain moving to four
“After a few successful Action Commands in a row, you'll start a Chain. When a Chain is going, your Ally Buffs will kick in.”
—Help description, Super Mario RPG

A Chain is a mechanic in the Nintendo Switch remake of Super Mario RPG. It is a current count of consecutive successes with Action Commands, and it is used to allow the party to receive Ally Buffs. Any attack from either side that is subject to Action Command involvement that is a success increases the Chain by one in the event of any success. If the Action Command is failed, the Chain will reset.

Misses by luck either from enemy attacks or against the primary target of the player's Attack command, because they preemptively prevent registration of Action Command attempts, do not influence the Chain, and enemies' all-targeting damage spells and non-damaging attacks similarly cannot inhibit it as a result of being unblockable. However, if an enemy attack is blockable, even if the target has full immunity to the damage portion such as with the Safety Ring against mortal blow attacks, it will still influence the Chain and therefore will need to be blocked for the Chain to be maintained.

If the Chain reaches five, additional instrumentation will be added to the current battle music. Every 10 Chain grants 60 points (10%) to the Action Gauge.
