Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is a 1996 role-playing spin-off developed by Square for the SNES. IGN reviewed the game in 2012 when it hit the Virtual Console, awarding it a 9/10. "... it's a classic, deep, fun and cult-appealing installment in the Mario series that no Nintendo gamer should go without playing," IGN said.
