“When thinking back on some of the best games on the SNES, a number of different RPGs that were groundbreaking at the time will likely make the list but one in particular will likely appear in most people’s thoughts for another reason, the sheer absurdity that it existed at all. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars saw Nintendo lending out their franchise to Square at a time when the mustachioed hero was exclusively a side-scrolling platformer. This unusual pairing led to one of the most fondly remembered RPGs on the SNES and one that fans were constantly hoping would reappear at some point.”
