Super Mario RPG: Difference between revisions

Line 33:

* [[Ash Face]]: A ''massive'' bomb in the mines goes off, but thankfully only inflicts this.

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Peach's Psych Bomb attack (the last attack she earns). Hits everyone and definitely makes her a bit of a [[Badass]] but it burns a lot of FP that could be better used for her healing abilities.

* [[Awesome Yet Practical]]:

* ~~[[Awesome Yet Practical]]:~~ The Lazy Shell weapon for Mario. A super-sized Koopa shell that is fun to pull out and punt towards enemies yet does heavy damage (quite possibly the most powerful weapon in the game).

** The Lazy Shell weapon for Mario. A super-sized Koopa shell that is fun to pull out and punt towards enemies yet does heavy damage (quite possibly the most powerful weapon in the game).

** Geno in a nutshell. He's a puppet possessed by a star, has guns built into his hands, and his attacks consist of [[More Dakka]], [[Rocket Punch|Rocket Punches]], colorful lasers, and massive explosions, all of which deal a ton of damage. Is it any wonder that he ended up becoming the resident [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]?

* [[Bag of Sharing]]: Exists in the traditional sense, but also strangely for an RPG, Flower Points (the game's equivalent of [[Mana]]) are also shared between everyone.

* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: Your party members can be turned into Mushrooms and scarecrows. Scarecrows can still cast spells, but are unable to use physical attacks, while Mushrooms can't do anything, period, though they'll recover HP after each turn.

Line 88:

** If you spam "no" while trying to overwrite an different save file, Mario's expression will change from the victory pose (normal) to anger (spam it a few times) or depression (spam it a lot) once you finally save.

* [[Enemy Mine]]: Mario and Bowser, the first of several such occasions in the series.

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The upper management that serves as the minibosses of Smithy's Factory are called Clerk, Manager, Director, and Factory Chief, respectively, which just so happens to be their positions in their boss' hierarchy. Considering the [[Mecha Mook|nature]] of Smithy's minions, these might actually be the roles that they were created to fill.

* [[Evil Chef]]: Chef Torte and The Apprentice.

** They're not quite ''evil'', they're just really upset that no one is going to eat their {{spoiler|man-eating}} cake. They spent a lot of time perfecting it!

Line 101:

Line 104:

* [[Flying Car]]: It's made out of clouds and driven by a Lakitu.

* [[Gainaxing]]: Queen Valentina, when she's struck in combat. Only in the original, her boobs lost their bounciness in the remake.

* [[Generic Doomsday Villain]]: Smithy, kind of. While far from a [[Flat Character]] thanks to his ~~serious~~ anger issues, his evil plan doesn't really amount ~~tomuch~~ more than getting rid of wishes and filling the world with weapons because he just really, really likes weapons.

* [[Generic Doomsday Villain]]: Smithy, kind of. While far from a [[Flat Character]] thanks to his anger issues (and in the remake, his comical self-written blurbs for his form's Thought Peek entries), his evil plan doesn't really amount to much more than getting rid of wishes and filling the world with weapons because he just really, really likes weapons.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: In the battle at Nimbus Land, every time you hit Queen Valentina, her breasts [[Gainax Bounce|shake.]] Seriously, this happens in a game approved for ''everyone'', kids and adults alike. Unsurprisingly, the radar picked this up and they no longer jiggle in the remake.

** Her hair is also a dead parrot.

Line 166:

Line 169:

** Mallow's bodily consistency is that of [[Don't Explain the Joke|marshmallows.]]

** Smithy's goons are all modeled after weapons.

*** [[The Threepenny Opera|Mack]] is a [[Knife Nut|knife]].

*** [[The Threepenny Opera|Mack]] is a [[Knife Nut|knife]], while his name in the remake, Claymorton, combines the name "Morton" with [[BFS|"Claymore".]]

**** ~~It's~~ also the name of a song, Mack the Knife.

**** The former is also the name of a song, Mack the Knife. [[Screwed by the Lawyers|It's also probably why his name was changed to begin with.]]

*** '''Bow'''yer is, not surprisingly, a [[The Archer|bow]].

**** Bowyer is also the profession of someone who makes bows. (Just like a fletcher is someone who makes arrows.)

*** "Yari" means "[[Blade on a Stick|spear]]" in Japanese. Yaridovich's design is decidedly spear-like.

*** "Yari" means "[[Blade on a Stick|spear]]" in Japanese. Yaridovich's design is decidedly spear-like. The remake forgoes all subtlety and outright changes his name to "Speardovich".

** The '''[[An Axe to Grind|Axe]]'''m [[Psycho Rangers|Rangers]] name speaks for themselves.

** Smithy himself is a weapon maker, i.e., a '''blacksmith'''.

Line 176:

Line 179:

* [[Mini Game]]: Buttloads of them: you've got the Midas River trek (first riding a waterfall, then riding a barrel down the river itself), the Moleville Minecarts, chasing Booster...

* [[Minigame Zone]]: Grate Guy's Casino. It's actually hard to find and access, not very large, and not very profitable. Booster's Tower is also supposedly a very fun yet eccentric amusement park, with clowns, an indoor railroad, and dolls.

* [[Monster Clown]]: Knife Guy and Grate Guy, a pair of ~~jester~~ minibosses that attack you during the trek through Booster's Tower.

* [[Monster Clown]]: Knife Guy and Grate Guy, a pair of clown minibosses that attack you during the trek through Booster's Tower. There's also the Jester enemies found in the same dungeon.

* [[Monster Town]]: A near-word-for-word example in Monstro Town.

* [[Motor Mouth]]: The Gardener in Rose Town.

* [[Motor Mouth]]: The Gardener in Rose Town, who goes off on long-winded high-speed tangents when you give him the seed and fertilizer he's looking for.

* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Geno, who usually fills the party in on matters related to the stars and their relation to wishes.

* [[My Rules Are Not Your Rules]]: Averted, enemy groups have an FP pool too. Usually you'll either win or lose long before theirs runs out, though. (Usually - see [[Zero Effort Boss]] below.)

Line 236:

Line 239:

** [[Power Rangers|GO GO]] [[Super Sentai|AXEM RANGERS]]!

* [[Smooch of Victory]]: Zig zagged, depending on how quickly you find Peach's accessories after she drops them.

* [[Smug Snake]]: Yaridovich, an arrogant [[Professional Butt-Kisser]] obsessed with getting into Smithy's good graces, and is totally convinced of his own superiority.

* [[Smug Snake]]: Yaridovich, an arrogant [[Professional Butt-Kisser]] obsessed with getting into Smithy's good graces, and is totally convinced of his own superiority. To his credit, [[That One Boss|he has every reason to be smug]], but he still loses due to not having an escape plan in mind in case his getaway drivers, the Axem Rangers, ended up as no-shows.

* [[Snot Bubble]]: The "sleep" status effect gives slumbering characters this.

** Lampshaded by the Big Boo of the Three Musty Fears: "Check those bubbles coming out of his nose!"
