Anniversary: It s Super Mario RPG s 25th Birthday!
Share:
We have Super Mario RPG to thank for both the Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi series.es of games, both of which were spawned out of the collaboration between Square and Nintendo. By adding a story, humour, and plenty of personality to the already-established Mario formula, Square created a game that played with the tools in Nintendo s toybox like never before.
Remember when box art was allowed to be just
unforgivably ugly like this? Perfection.

Sadly, the game-changing collaboration would be a one-off, with Square changing tack towards the PlayStation and Final Fantasy, and Super Mario RPG - despite being the father of two different game series(es) - would never receive a sequel. Perhaps that s for the best, considering how the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi games have been floundering for the past few years.

@jump SMB 35th anniversary would ve been much more than just a bunch of games announcements had the pandemic not happened and GAME leaking Lego Super Mario being announced in a Direct suggests there was a general Direct for early March with the one more thing being SMB 35th anniversary stuff but the Mario stuff got cut because of the pandemic and became a Direct Mini in late March.
The stuff outside gaming for SMB 35th anniversary could ve been a bigger factor for ditching the old Direct strategy because while games can get announced and then delayed, the other stuff is much less likely to actually happen at all.
