About Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is a turn based role playing game featuring Mario and a selectable party. The narrative begins with a familiar conflict but is disrupted when a giant sword, created by an entity named Smithy, strikes Bowser's castle and scatters the key characters.

Combat involves a party of three characters, with Mario being a permanent member. Victory in battles yields experience, which increases attributes like hit points and the flower points used for magic. Equipment and new abilities for the party can be acquired through purchase.

A distinctive element of the turn based system is the inclusion of timed actions. Successfully executing these can enhance the damage dealt to foes or reduce the damage received from their attacks.
