#SUPER MARIO RPG BOOMER SERIES#
Other villains include Croco the thief, who steals treasure from Mallow Belome, a monster with an uncontrolled, endless appetite who guards various passages and Valentina, who through a series of events takes over Nimbus Land with her pet Dod, and eventually falls in love with Booster. His most notable minions include Mack, Bowyer, Yaridovich, and the evil counterparts of the famous Power Rangers, the Axem Rangers. Smithy has expressed an interest in the Star Pieces, and sends out his minions to collect them, increasing the problems presented to Mario and his gang as they attempt to restore peace. The main villain of the game, Smithy, hides within a massive weapons factory that is connected to Mario's world via the sword/portal Exor. Booster tries to marry her, but Mario saves her. Princess Toadstool joins Mario after he rescues her from Booster, a wealthy and eccentric entrepreneur who lives in a tower with his Snifit henchmen.

Mario's archnemesis Bowser has been exiled from his castle, and joins forces with Mario in order to reclaim it. Early in the game he explains to Mario about Smithy, what he's done and what must be done to stop him. Because his real name is unpronounceable in Mario's language, he decides to go by the doll's name, "Geno". Geno is a wooden puppet brought to life by a star. Mallow is a humanoid cloud from Nimbus Land however, he is convinced during the early stages of the game that he is a tadpole, having been raised by Frogfucius, the elder of Tadpole Pond, for as long as he can remember. Mario is the silent protagonist of the game, and often uses pantomime to act out scenes for characters. Super Mario RPG features five permanent playable characters. Each character has a good amount of attacks and techniques. There are five characters that you can play with: Mario, Mallow, Geno, Bowser, and Princess Toadstool. In the field, the game plays much like an isometric platformer, with many traditional Mario features (such as jumping) as well as many new ones (such as magic spells) playing a key role. Unlike many RPGs before and after its release, much of the gameplay was outside of monster battles.

The need to perform action commands in between navigating menus requires the player to be engaged in the battle the whole time. As with many other RPGs, items are an important tool in battles. These consist of timed button presses and other movements (such as rotating the D-pad or pressing Y repeatedly) to determine the power of the characters' moves. As well as selecting attacks, the player is usually required to perform action commands to increase the damage done. The battles themselves are a blend of platforming elements and traditional RPG battles.

This allows the player to avoid unwanted battles by jumping over or walking around the foe, although some fights are difficult to evade and others are necessary for the game's storyline to progress. Mario's enemies are visible in the field, and a battle ensues if he comes into contact with one of them. It has been confirmed that Super Mario RPG will be released on the Wii's Virtual Console. A version of the game for the PAL region was not released. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars also became the first game in which Mario and Bowser fight as allies. Since it was an easy-to-play RPG starring Mario, it introduced many long-time Mario fans to RPGs and is sometimes seen as an introductory RPG. It contains token similarities to Chrono Trigger and the Final Fantasy series with a story based in the Mario universe. It was also the first role-playing game (RPG) in the Mario series. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars was the last Mario game made and released on the Super Famicom/Super NES as well as the last major Squaresoft (now Square Enix ) produced game for a Nintendo video game console until Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles in 2003.
