If I had Mallow's abilities, I'd be raining tears of joy.

It's no wonder why anyone can't find "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" anymore. This game is at competition with three of the greatest SNES games: "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past," "Chrono Trigger" and "FFVI." And like "A Link to the Past," I kept renting it over and over again until I decided to just buy it. Face it, the graphics are as great as "DK Country," the characters are fun and memorable, the music is catchy, the mini-games are really addictive, the story keeps the player going, its replay value is super high, and it especially keeps the spirit of Mario alive in a new way. Sufficed to say, "SMRPG" isn't for people who think turn-based RPG's are boring. But since T-B RPG's are it's own genre, this one deserves a 10.
