When I first got this game, I was quite amazed, and a tad confused; it being the first RPG game I had ever played, but still... It certainly wins a place in my list of the best games ever!
*****SPOILERS AHEAD!!!***** (Actually the first part of the game)
Mario (Everyone's favorite plumber/hero) starts out his day going to rescue Princess Peach from the infamous Bowser (What a surprise). He is shot out of the castle when a mysterious GIANT sword comes down from a giant cloud (Later known as Star Road), and smashes into Bowser's Castle, also dropping 7 stars from Star Road (Hence the name of the game). Mario returns when a disappointed Toad tells him to go back and rescue peach. The giant sword becomes angry and destroys the bridge to Bowser's Castle. One thing leads to another and Mario meets Mallow, a tadpole(?) who can't jump, who has been mugged by a purple crocodile named Croco. Mario recruits Mallow, and they retrieve Mallow's coin back. When they return to town, WOW! The town is being attacked by mysterious Shy Guys on springs. Their leader Mack, a smaller sword... Thing with a bandanna fights Mario. Once Mario wins, a blue star, (The 1st of the 7) is found. Mario later must find ALL of the 7 to repair the Star Road... Or else no one's wishes will ever come true again!!! Overall, fun fun fun, with old and new characters like Geno, Peach, and yes, Bowser. 10/10
