SMRPG is an unremarkable game. Speaking as a zoomer with no nostalgia for that era. I've played games from back then that I can confirm with you, with no rose-tinted glasses, are actually remarkable. Like Chrono Trigger or Ocarina of Time. SMRPG is not one of those.

The game alongside Earthbound has better writing(Not story, writing.) than 99% of RPG's to come after it. Considering an RPG is basically judged on the strength of it's story/writing/gameplay, and that gameplay is only minorly different in most turn-based RPG's until the early 2000's, it's pretty reasonable.

Snake Eater is also a good game though. I don't think it's unreasonable for either of the games to have won.

It really doesn't. Actually it has a couple real problems. I really expected Mallow to have some lesson about the family that raised him being more important than some mystical sky kingdom, but no, the game actually plays it straight and the elder frog never gets mentioned again lmao

You are referring to the story of the game. The story involves the central themes and actual plot of the game. The story is average. The writing involves Bowser saying Haiku's, the man in Rose Town going nuts when you finish his sidequest, Mallow reminding you that you're not Bruce Lee, and one of Johnny's Henchman stating, "How dare you dodge the barrel."

The writing is what makes the game a unique and charming experience, the story exists to keep everything moving.

An opposite example would be the 999 series having really entertaining stories, but absolute trash-tier writing.

Find examples of JRPG's that are consistently as well regarded for their writing as SMRPG or Earthbound and we can talk. I've played so many PS1 JRPG's. My favorite game of all-time is Wild Arms 2. That game has fucking horrible writing(I still love Liz)/translation(Great story though)

FF7, one of the most well regarded RPG's of the era, has pretty shoddy writing/translation. Having good writing in an RPG before the year 2000 was a major accomplishment. It's still super hit or miss today, that's why Persona 5 has gotten the series to the peak of it's popularity. It's not because of the above average story, or the average RPG gameplay. It's because of the diversity of actions and the writing keeping pace with the character interactions that allow the game to flourish. Quality of writing matters a ton, especially with RPG's where it can make or break the game altogether.

Of all the MGS games, it has the best story. The least amount of convoluted bullshit in the plot, and some real emotional beats. One of the very few video games that made me cry.

I don't like MGS, but the third one is cited most often as the best in the series.

SMRPG is pretty good, but still middle of the road as far as Mario RPGs go.

Snake Eater winning probably is valid here.

It was my first JRPG ever, and I have fond memories of it. I replayed it a couple of years ago, and it's just pretty good.

Thousand Year Door and Superstar Saga were just better and more creative.

That has literally nothing to do with anything. It took Nintendo over 3 years to put Kirby Super Star on the Wii VC, does that mean Nintendo didn't care about that game either despite putting it on the SNES classic?
It was a joke

MGS3 gameplay is top tier but the James Bond spoof storyline+ Raikov and Volgin sillyness is so damn stupid. I HATE how silly MGS became MGS2 was the perfect balance between Military/Sci fi/Hollywood

whereas in MGS3 it became Spoof/Comedy/Action

then MGS4 is just full on
Spoof/Anime/Comedy/Scifi

everything after is just pure Spoof/Comedy/anime bullshit

Yeah I can still play SMRPG and still have fun with it but for some reason I couldn't get into the M&L games.

Most of the M&L games are pretty bad

Superstar Saga is the only one that's actually great. Bowser's Inside Story is passable

Avoid Partners in Time like the plague.
Superstar Saga was one of the best GBA games, but Partners in Time turned me off of the rest of the series. I never played any more past that.
