Just like the original game, the remake features turn-based battles.

It features full 3D graphics, updated character and enemy names, with Princess Toadstool being called Princess Peach to reflect her modern nomenclature and Frogfucius being renamed Frog Sage, and the option to switch between the original music and a newly arranged soundtrack by Yoko Shimomura.[2][3][4] New battle mechanics include the ability to damage all enemies when performing perfect action commands, and powerful team-specific "triple moves" performed after building a gauge using successful action commands.[5] Other additions include an easier difficulty setting, a bestiary to view enemies the player has encountered, and post-game content, including a sound player and more difficult boss rematches.[3][6]

Development[edit]

A remake of Super Mario RPG was announced for the Nintendo Switch in June 2023 and released on November 17, 2023.[7] It was developed in the Unity engine by ArtePiazza, which had previously worked on games in Square Enix's Dragon Quest series.[8]

Reception[edit]

According to the review aggregrator Metacritic, it received "generally favorable reviews",[9] and 96% of critics recommend it on OpenCritic.[10]
