Super Mario RPG Guide

Welcome to IGN's Guide to the Super Mario RPG Remake. Originally released for the Super Nintendo by the developers from Square, the Super Mario RPG Remake is a fully remade version of Mario's first RPG that faithfully recreates much of its engaging party-based adventure and quirky dialogue, while adding a few new treats of its own.

When Princess Peach is once again kidnapped by Bowser, Mario sets out to rescue her, only to be drawn into a even bigger event by the arrival of a massive sword crashing into Bowser's Castle. With this new "Smithy Gang" threatening more than just the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario will team up with familiar friends, former enemies, and even a few new faces to collect all the lost Star Pieces to bring wishing back to the world and save the day!
