There has been much about Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars that is worth celebrating. Over the past week, we ve taken a look at the game s origins, the world, the story, the stakes, the characters, the relationships, and the various ways it made history in the Mario series. For Nintendo, it successfully opened a brand new avenue for one of its biggest characters. For Squaresoft, it was one of the developer s first major successes in North America. A sequel felt inevitable. Unfortunately, it never wound up happening, because within the next year, Nintendo and Squaresoft would part ways.
