hey, Hawaiianbum, yo yo ho loco. You just said that to get on my nerves. EVERYONE here agrees that Super Mario RPG is excellent, and is on their top favorite game lists. EarthBound, IMO, is a cool game. I really haven't played much of it, but I was turned off by the battle engine. Super Mario RPG has top-notch dialogue, fun, great and memorable characters, (Geno, Mallow). It has Bowser in its party, along with Princess Toadstool. Ok, so only four party members. Its about quality, not quantity. Super Mario RPG is NOT overrated, it is truly a great game, and my third favorite game, ever!. I'll try to get into EarthBound, also. Does anyone know where I could buy a copy of EarthBound. (not a contradiction, I'll just try to get into the battle engine.)
