A game for Super Mario fans is back. The remake of the Super Mario Role Play Game was released on November 17th.

Players can enter a universe where Mario must fix Star Road and vanquish the Smithy Gang. Players can join forces with a group of companions in the role-playing game that is full of characters, such as Bowser and Geno.

The original game came out almost 30 years ago in 1996, available for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The 2023 remake is the same gameplay with minor tweaks and improved graphics, available now for the Nintendo Switch. 

WJPS teacher, Mr. Van Deurs said, “Growing up I thought it was super fun and I was very excited when they announced the remake, and I played a little bit of it already.”

WJPS 11th grader, Erica Lin, shared, “I’m not sure if I would purchase it for my Switch as I only play the Pokemon games and Animal Crossing, maybe I will.”
