Trilha sonora fantástica.

classic theme. I loved these "traveling" areas, where you are transitioning to a new part of the world. The level art was fabulous.
masterplusmargarita on August 17th 2013, 9:39 am
Memories of repeatedly jumping on enemies in that first road-type area to grind up before getting to the castle suddenly arise...
The Destati on April 10th 2013, 1:51 am
know your history. SE never made any good games in comparison to the Classics
g-rev on May 27th 2012, 2:59 am
Full of Dangers? With this catchy music?
ragnaroktomorrow on April 21st 2012, 5:36 pm
every track from this game is incredibly nostalgic.
BaconBurgerKing on March 19th 2012, 1:55 am
smithy dislikes this
MrAngryTV1 on March 5th 2012, 7:39 am
the 90's! ^^
・ω・ on February 10th 2012, 3:46 pm
@videohead85 Nope, it was still just Square when this game was made.
malathis0 on January 16th 2012, 4:48 pm
Yeah, this song REALLY makes me think "there's danger ahead".
Megamaw on January 16th 2012, 3:40 am
They remixed this in Superstar Saga as Oho Oasis, I just realized.
g-rev on January 11th 2012, 3:56 am
This game only loses to Chrono Trigger on the SNES RPGs
Hide and Tweak on December 27th 2011, 6:58 am
Mario goes Latin. I fuckin loved that game when I was kid. I just wanna download it to play and hear taht fuckin good music
spanio on October 19th 2011, 3:05 pm
@videohead85 Actually, the losses of that film actually made Enix concerned about the merger. The plans for the companies to merge are older than that movie's flop at the box office.
acboyer83 on September 21st 2011, 9:27 am
@KamonSensei Actually I don't think Enix had anything to do with it. Sakaguchi leaving was probably more responsible than anything. Lost Odyssey was fantastic...

DANCE DANCE HAPPY DANCE!!!!!
PAVGN on July 17th 2011, 10:42 pm
I'm kinda surprised It took this long to include this one.
TangerineGroovin on July 16th 2011, 1:41 am
yeah im so replaying this rom time
GameBeatenakaKevinS on July 14th 2011, 6:30 am
@Natendo64 FF9 had much more traditional gameplay than FF7 and FF8. 7 and 8 had you assign attribute/ability stuff to characters when 9 made everything simple and each character was unique. I would say that the story of 9 was better than the one in 7 and 8. 10 really is the turning point going downhill since some characters were annoying as well as other aspects, but the battle system was still alright. As for X-2, the ONLY thing I thought was good about that game was the battle system.
GameBeatenakaKevinS on July 14th 2011, 6:17 am
@zsybrant And those are the obvious reasons I referred to, in case anyone else was wondering what I meant by that statement.
GameBeatenakaKevinS on July 13th 2011, 4:40 am
@Masz52 I played the demo that came with Dragon Quest VIII and I did not like it. It felt too similar to an MMO, which I also hate. Also I did not like that I could control one character at a time. Which is also why I dislike FF13.
Zenju on July 13th 2011, 1:47 am
@EvanFingerstyle I don't know...I think the song would be well suited to a "Take care!"-like message!
Masz52 on July 12th 2011, 6:19 pm
@GameBeatenakaKevinS Why won't you give XII a shot? I love it and it's one of my favorite PS2 games.
GameBeatenakaKevinS on July 12th 2011, 5:41 am
@zsybrant Yikes, what crawled up your ass? FF6 is one I've yet to play so I can not argue with you, but I can understand why you think so for obvious reasons. Out of the Final Fantasy's I haven't played yet, FF6 is the one I want to play most. My favorite is FF9 followed by FF4(DS version, but whatever). 7, 8, and 10 had their flaws but I still found them enjoyable enough if not for their battle systems alone. All I know is that I will probably never touch 11, 12, 13, etc.
Nico Neko on July 11th 2011, 2:27 pm
@SegaRising Back when Square was just ''Square'' without the Enix. ;3
EvanFingerstyle on July 11th 2011, 8:18 am
Anyone else think that the title of this song is seriously ironic? The music is so peaceful xD
GameBeatenakaKevinS on July 11th 2011, 3:02 am
@Meenners ....since X.
Meenners on July 10th 2011, 2:51 pm
@SJT9791 .... since XI
SJT on July 10th 2011, 4:32 am
@sora8711Enix was a great company too.
SJT on July 10th 2011, 4:32 am
@SegaRising Yeah... ever since FFXII they haven't made a good game.
sora8711 on July 10th 2011, 3:20 am
@SegaRising You must mean back when they were SquareSoft.
videohead85 on July 10th 2011, 2:35 am
@SegaRising You mean "Back when they were SquareSoft." Square and Enix didn't merge until the 2000's (as a result of Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within's losses).
drunyon214 on July 10th 2011, 12:22 am
@onthehouse021 Good point, considering how easy this game was... more like "The Road is Full of Weak Monsters That Make This Game Even Easier than Final Fantasy Mystic Quest."
TheVulgarBackpacker on July 9th 2011, 8:45 pm
I remember renting this from the local video store when I was a kid. I had no idea what an RPG was. Seven weeks worth of late fees was pretty expensive back in the day.
thomasbradleyh on July 9th 2011, 7:27 pm
I didn't like Super Mario RPG... I just found it too boring.
onthehouse021 on July 9th 2011, 6:30 am
What a misleading song title
bdfan4ever on July 9th 2011, 5:05 am
@SegaRising Its all good, in the end, we all love awesome videogames. Thats all that matters.
Ambrose tant-phillis on July 9th 2011, 3:01 am
@Svenshinhan i know cod isent the best game but its fun as a change from tf2 and css but i made friends with many people at school that i wouldent otherwise
Jonathan Goldberg on July 8th 2011, 10:21 pm
@orwell9788 Nier wasn't developed by Square-Enix: It was developed by Cavia, another Japanese company (Now defunct, sadly) who did Biohazard Gun Survivor 4: Heroes Never Die/Resident Evil: Dead Aim as well as the Drakengard and Biohazard/Resident Evil Chronicles games.
Vinicius Trujillo on July 8th 2011, 9:19 pm
Oh hell SupraDarky, you've done it, I'm going to play it again.
Svenshinhan on July 8th 2011, 6:39 pm
The sign of a good game: One day, years ago, I made a friend on the streets just because I was whistling this tune. Now, 15 years later, we're still close as brothers. Games don't have that power anymore.
Jonathan Goldberg on July 8th 2011, 6:05 pm
This song reminds me of the movie "What About Bob?".
SegaRising on July 8th 2011, 4:40 pm
@bdfan4ever Mwah. Man I have a lot of haters and lovers.
BlueLegion on July 8th 2011, 10:59 am
@khlova Enix ruined Square less than EA ruined Westwood
SkepticalFox on July 8th 2011, 10:20 am
@bdfan4ever OMG! Thank you so much for pointing out the asinine hatred SE seems to get from nostolgic whores. While I agree they where the best in their golden age on the SNES & PS1, they still make wonderful games. Dissidia, Birth by Sleep and FF13 where amazing to me, Nier was great and is SO underrated. I'd throw in The Third Birthday, even with it's wacky plot, the gameplay is intense and rewarding. SE is the reason to buy a PSP really, along with Peacewalker and playing PS1 games on the go
bdfan4ever on July 8th 2011, 8:21 am
@RedMageWolfe Oh yeah...Dragonquest 9 rocks!
bdfan4ever on July 8th 2011, 8:19 am
@SegaRising Ah, homophobic slurs? I love the internet. Lol.
Hobo Video on July 8th 2011, 8:17 am
@SegaRising we sure all miss SquareSoft
bdfan4ever on July 8th 2011, 8:17 am
@RedMageWolfe I'm in complete agreement about them not being anywhere near their golden age. I'm just saying that they still make great games and have the power to keep people intrigued about their projects.
alasanof on July 8th 2011, 7:08 am
@SegaRising I thought it was just Square back then.
SegaRising on July 8th 2011, 6:51 am
@spaceawesome22 Thank you.
bdfan4ever on July 8th 2011, 4:45 am
@SegaRising Wow, I guess even though I loved Final fantasy XIII, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, Dissidia, Crisis Core, Nier and The World Ends With You, those games aren't really good at all cause they are from square-enix, right? Honestly, hating on Square-Enix is pathetic. Get over yourself.
spaceawesome22 on July 8th 2011, 4:32 am
@SegaRising You would be getting a hundred thumbs up from me if I were allowed that many.
Noneman on July 8th 2011, 4:13 am
I need to pick this up off of the Virtual Console... I've never played it, but I really want to.
krits on July 8th 2011, 3:49 am
squaresoft has always made great games, enix made great games, square enix shall continue to make great games.
Darkestdion on July 8th 2011, 3:47 am
@NukeA6 same, I only picked it up mainly because it has Mario in it, then i got hooked on RPGs
JayQ on July 8th 2011, 3:36 am
@SegaRising *square Enix Ruined square.
Zeifear on July 8th 2011, 3:07 am
@DarkestDion ...soft. SquareSoft.
CleverDjembe on July 8th 2011, 3:03 am
@xOmniCloudx Violent communication, often used by trolls.
Darkestdion on July 8th 2011, 2:34 am
@SegaRising Back when its simply called Square
Arc13 on July 8th 2011, 2:29 am
This theme is too familiar and loved. My head is about to explode from the nostalgia!
Faisal GH on July 8th 2011, 1:53 am
@venom3carnage I wouldn't say that it's the best mario game in general. However, I agree that it's the best Mario RPG game. It's really better than all of the other Mario RPGs combined (eventhough most of them are great games).
Derp Herp on July 8th 2011, 1:49 am
Wow, Bowser is tiny.
NukeA6 on July 8th 2011, 1:44 am
This was the first RPG I ever got into. When I first played it, I thought it played like a Mario game so I tried to kill a Terrapin by jumping on it. Then I realized it had turn-based fighting.
xOmniCloudx on July 8th 2011, 1:42 am
@king999999888888 If you think FFXIV was the only mistake and garbage game they've released you're delusional. SE is nothing compared to Square and Squaresoft which were two of the best companies ever. SE is a fail most the time.
Daytime Sky on July 8th 2011, 1:32 am
My favorite song in this is the boss fight against any boss that guards a star. It's so catchy.
Kagemusha08 on July 8th 2011, 1:09 am
SquareEnix will never make games like this again. They lost too much talent when they merged. You'll never see the kind of star-studded development teams that were common in this era again.
TheHarmonixer on July 8th 2011, 12:37 am
@SegaRising SquareSoft at the time actually :).
kemsus on July 8th 2011, 12:27 am
whenever i hear this song, i always in my mind hear the sound effect of mario Jumping :P
deadbeatblast on July 8th 2011, 12:25 am
YES YES YES YES YES!!!!
Old Sport on July 8th 2011, 12:22 am
@jseeker1867 Once again, wrong, Square made this game, which later went on to become Squaresoft and Square Enix, and I'm sorry, but one mistake by releasing FFXIV too early doesn't make them have bad games anymore, so cry some more, they still are a great company.
Masz52 on July 8th 2011, 12:21 am
Time to reinstall Deus E- I mean, restart Super Mario RPG.
Waywarde on July 8th 2011, 12:18 am
The heck? I was listening to this not even a minute ago.. Bizarre coincidence, really.
eishikibahamut on July 8th 2011, 12:18 am
@SegaRising Only the Square half sucks. Enix is still completely capable of making fine Dragon Quest installments, but that's about it.
Ian Asman on July 8th 2011, 12:16 am
WE MISS YOU GENO!
actual flamingo on July 8th 2011, 12:15 am
@SegaRising You mean when they were just Squaresoft and Enix... those were the days.
FreewayKnight on July 8th 2011, 12:15 am
They did make it, and they do make mediocre games. Look up Final Fantasy 14.
kunio18 on July 8th 2011, 12:09 am
i love this track so much., its such a memorable tune in the game, really fits it for Mario's start of his journey :D thanks SupraDarky !!
Nintendorulez on July 8th 2011, 12:04 am
@king999999888888 It was made by Square, which merged with Enix years ago to make Square Enix
drunyon214 on July 7th 2011, 11:52 pm
The last Square RPG for the SNES, and one of the best. Shimomura's soundtrack made this game amazing.
Old Sport on July 7th 2011, 11:52 pm
@SegaRising Square Enix didn't make this, and they do make good games.
evainfrenchli on July 7th 2011, 11:51 pm
@SegaRising u got a good point
Newbpwn3r180 on July 7th 2011, 11:50 pm
sounds like Donkey Kong country
SegaRising on July 7th 2011, 11:49 pm
Back when Square Enix used to make good games.
SmashLuigiFan1 on July 7th 2011, 11:43 pm
ah, mario rpg, definitley one of the best games i ever playeed. Thank you virtual console!
Dankore on July 7th 2011, 11:42 pm
Love this piece. So many memories. This game had it all, solid rpg, story, new characters, sidequests and tons to collect. Probably going to go fire up the ole snes
SupraDarky on July 7th 2011, 11:38 pm
I'll always remember this particular track since it's the first one you hear when the adventure truly starts. I rented this game as soon as it came out and I was blown away by the graphics. I remember the first area where this plays, I'd just have fun running around and jumping, fighting some monsters here and there. It really was a refreshing RPG at the time, and it still is even after many playthroughs.
