He serves as the game player's alter ego in\n this intellectually involving adventure that will take more than 100 hours\n to fully explore. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\"For the past few years we've seen American video game players'\n interest in role-playing games increase,\" says Peter Main, Nintendo\n of America's executive vice president, sales and marketing. \"More\n and more players are continually discovering the unique, intrinsic entertainment\n values that RPGs provide. Super Mario RPG, featuring America's most\n celebrated video game character in familiar surroundings, combines these\n benefits with the playability of action\/adventure games to bring RPGs to\n a wider audience in this country.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe 32-megabit, one-player game is available only for the 16-bit Super\n Nintendo Entertainment System (Super NES) and will have a manufacturer's\n suggested retail price of $74.95. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WORLD OF RPGs BECOMES THE NEW WORLD OF MARIO\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFeaturing an involving story line from Nintendo's legendary designer\n Shigeru Miyamoto, Super Mario RPG boasts the first use of stunningDonkey Kong Country-style, ACM graphics in both a Mario game and an\n RPG. As with most Nintendo games and as an added effort to broaden to appeal\n of the RPG genre, Super Mario RPG is user-friendly. For instance,\n in the style of the Super Mario World series, there is a walk-through\n during the beginning of the adventure to introduce players into the game\n play mechanics. Such features will greatly aid new RPG players in learning\n the new style of game play. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eAfter several years of cult status due to the inherent elements involved\n in traditional RPGs, the RPG genre is beginning to grow into the mainstream\n U.S. gaming arena. Super Mario RPG breaks new ground by combining\n all of the fun and familiar elements of the Super Mario World action\n game series with the classic elements of the RPG genre, such as non-linear\n character movement, progressive character development, multiple characters\n joining the quest, menu-based battles and strategy-based game play. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eLike other Mario games and RPGs, Super Mario RPG includes several\n fun and challenging bonus games and mazes -- for example, there is a stunning\n behind-the-head perspective mine cart ride. And, along with all of the\n usual Super Mario World characters, new characters have been added:\n new heroes Mallow and Geno; new enemy Smithy; and a wise frog named Frogfucius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe game also takes the traditional RPG menu-based battle system one\n step further by incorporating an easy-to-use command selector and a move-within-a-move\n \"Action Command\" feature. With the new battle command selector,\n a player simply presses the corresponding button selection listed on the\n screen next to the character to enable the action. With the \"Action\n Command\" feature, a player can select to attack an enemy, then increase\n the power of the attack by pressing a button with the right timing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eSuper Mario RPG also contains rotating Mode 7 effects, hidden\n Nintendo characters and a good dosage of humor. There is a battery-backed\n memory to save up to four different games. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADDITIONAL INFORMATION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is rated Kids to Adults,\n 6+ by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eSoon after the release of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars,\n the editors of Nintendo Power Magazine will release a comprehensive\n player's guide for the game with a manufacturer's suggested retail price\n of $11.00. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eNintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan is the leader in the worldwide $15\n billion retail video game industry. Nintendo and its international subsidiaries\n have sold more than one billion video games worldwide. As a wholly owned\n subsidiary, Nintendo of America Inc., based in Redmond, Washington, serves\n as headquarters for Nintendo's operations in the Western Hemisphere, where\n more than 40 percent of American homes own a Nintendo System. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuper Mario RPG is a console RPG starring none other than Nintendo's popular character Mario. This game starts off like almost every other Mario game, with Bowser kidnapping Princess Toadstool. However, when Mario goes to Bowser's Keep to save her, a giant sword made by the evil Smithy crashes into the castle and sends Mario, the Princess, and Bowser flying to separate parts of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe game plays much like a traditional RPG: Mario and the members of his party gain experience points by defeating enemies. These experience points can increase the team's maximum number of hit points and flower points (magic points). The battles are also turn-based, but this time there are timed attacks and defenses. Timed attacks allow you to inflict more harm than normal to an enemy. Timed defenses, on the other hand, allow an enemy to inflict less harm than normal. You are only allowed to have three out of five team members on your party at a time. Mario is always in your party, regardless. Your team members can also purchase more weapons and abilities, along with better armor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** Data by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca
