[Nintendo Switch Snap]
[menacing orchestral music] [narrator] -On a seemingly normal day,
Mario went to Bowser's Keep to rescue Peach.
But, just as he was about to save her,
a giant sword fell from the sky and pierced through the castle!
[music ends]
[cheery orchestral music] Now, it's up to Mario and his allies,
including Bowser, to save the keep and save the world!
A quirky and unusual adventure is about to begin!
Super Mario RPG.
[music ends]
[lively orchestral music]
You'll control Mario during your adventure.
Others will join you, including Peach,
the famous princess of the Mushroom Kingdom...
and Bowser, who's usually Mario's nemesis! [Bowser laughing menacingly]
Two original characters will also become allies.
Mallow, a bit of a crybaby who thinks he's a... young frog?
And Geno, a messenger from Star Road who inhabits a doll
to fight alongside Mario.
Other characters with eccentric personalities will help you along the way.

[lighthearted orchestral music]
This colorful world is teeming with all sorts of landscapes,
like steep mountains, gloomy waterways,
and perplexing forests.

Touch an enemy to initiate a turn-based battle. [cheery tropical music]
You'll fight by selecting an action from four commands.
In addition to regular attacks,
you can use Specials that are unique to each character.
Specials aren't limited to damage-dealing attacks.
They can also restore HP or give allies a boost!
The most important thing in battle is the Action Command.
Press the A Button with good timing, and...
you'll deal more damage to enemies,
or decrease the damage you take from attacks.
This can help you win battles!
Additionally, if you time your attacks perfectly, you'll deal damage to all enemies!
Every successful Action Command will gradually fill this gauge.
When it reaches one hundred percent...
you can unleash the three-character super-special Triple Move!
This move changes depending on who's currently in your party,
and each Triple Move is beneficial in its own way.
So give 'em all a shot!
Battles giving you trouble? Don't sweat it!
Turn on Breezy Mode to defeat enemies more easily and level-up faster.
It's a great option for first-time RPG players!

[energetic jazz music]
Plenty of peculiar monsters lie around every corner.
You'll meet foes from the Mario series and enemies different from the usual.
Like this odd fellow in a tower...
and a fearsome pirate in a sunken ship.
Not to mention, an entire weapon-based army that took over Bowser's Keep!
After clearing the main story, you can fight some of the bosses again.
But they're stronger than before, so watch out! [music intensifies]
And, rumor has it that an especially powerful boss
is lurking somewhere in this world.
[music ends]
[cheery country music]
Take a break from the adventure with minigames!
Jump between barrels to collect coins in Midas River.
Ride Yoshi and get racing in Mushroom Derby.
Hit the rails and turn corners, carefully, in Mine Car.
Lots of other minigames are out there!
In addition, you can swap the music to the original Super NES version
at any time outside of battle...
[cheery synth music]
or check the info of enemies you've encountered in the Monster List!

[bombastic orchestral music]
