Super Mario RPG is one of the most beloved RPGs ever made - a product of a partnership between Nintendo and Squaresoft that will likely never happen again. This iceberg dives deep into the game's hidden mechanics, cut content, localization quirks, fan theories, and secrets that most players never discovered.
From unused enemies and scrapped party members to the dark implications of Booster's omniscience and the theory that Smithy was never truly destroyed, this video covers the full depth of what makes Super Mario RPG such a fascinating game to dig into.
Topics covered include the Lazy Shell, Geno's concept art, the sixth character slot, Ted Woolsey's translation choices, the James Bomb rejection, Star Hill wishes, the original Super Mario RPG 2 that became Paper Mario, and much more.
This video was made just before the launch of the Switch release so some entries reflect that. Regardless, the majority of the iceberg is about the original SNES release.
