Here's 15 subtle differences between the original Super Mario RPG for the Super Nintendo and the remake for Nintendo Switch :)

[@Lavendelaura]

Ah yes, the three noble titles: princess, king, and super

[@MC-bo6ql]

If everything and everyone knew about you and honored you, you too would consider "Super" a noble title.

[@TBrizzle01]

I'm low-key bummed they removed it. It makes them sound more impressive.

What the, I read “king” as “frog”. I was wondering who has frog as a title lol

[@jclkaytwo]

[@theMagos]

In the original there is a missable hidden block in the castle. In the remake they added some convenient toads later to reach it, if you fail your first attempt.

[@ProfessorZtar]

Those Toads are there in the original, but there's an invisible wall preventing the player from using them to jump up there. I, for one, am happy they changed that so it's no longer possible to end the game with 38/39 hidden chests forever just because you didn't know to jump on Toad's head and hop up there. What makes it worse is that players are on average not visiting all the places before going to the Castle, so wouldn't have met the Hidden Chest tutorial Toad lady under the item shop either.

[@Lynn17]

@@ProfessorZtar I didn't realize until lategame, via a guide, that the first hidden box was no longer missable. I'm glad they changed it, cause I'm a completionist.

[@awkwardsilence4427]

I dunno…I kind of liked Princess Toadstool being shown as just a damsel in distress in the intro, as it made it a pleasant surprise when she turns out to be a party member later on in the game. The same can be said about Bowser being revealed to be a party member too.

[@usern4metak3ns]

makes logical sense, peach is in fact a damsel.

[@PrinceMallow]

She wasn't in the instruction manual either. I think they really wanted it to be a surprise that Peach ended up joining your party. I can't really blame them for dropping the charade for the remake, though. The original's nearly 30 years old and I think just about everyone is aware she's a party member by this point.

[@usern4metak3ns]

@@PrinceMallow she's a damsel that was allowed to be a party member.

[@awkwardsilence4427]

@@PrinceMallow I’m not so sure about that, as with the exception of calls for Geno in Smash, the game itself hasn’t really been in the public discourse at all. There are a whole lot of people that weren’t even born back during the game’s heyday, and just from looking up the game on KZbin I’ve seen a lot of people who have said they’ve never played it before or had played very little of the game, and the way they talk about it makes it pretty evident that they don’t know much about the game itself either.

[@EnderDragon]

@@PrinceMallow Especially after decades of Peach in Smash Bros, the Mario Bros movie, and having her own game with a second game coming up. She can still fit the damsel archtype when needed, but they have done so much more with her over the years that she is not "stuck" as a damsel.

[@tysoniacrypoid575]

Fun fact: The little easter egg in Boosters Castle is still there, but instead of making it something different, it still turns you into the sprite from the first Mario Bros!

You forgot that, in the original, the ChainChomps on the chandelier seem to literally be biting on the center of the chandeliers. In the Switch version, they're biting on a bone stuck to the chandelier, the implication being that the only reason they're holding on to the chandeliers is because they want the bone.

[@bubblemage]

[@crosscharayt986]

Interesting

[@Yoyomatboo]

in the remake, they say that they are payed 2 coin an hour. So that mean they do it to get money

[@GLEclipseGaming]

I think peach being introduced as a damsel in distress is good because then its a surprise when she becomes a party member. Sure now its no surprising since she's been playable in a bunch of things but at the time it was a nice surprise.

[@JASpiring]

She'd already been playable once before SMRPG, in Super Mario Bros 2 USA.

[@GLEclipseGaming]

@@JASpiring oh yeah...lol. I suppose it was a dream though.

[@VOAN]

In the SNES version if you go into battle, the diamond layout buttons are laid out according to your region's standard so NA got purple and light purple buttons whereas Japanese got color buttons, in the remake the diamond layout buttons in battle just used the color buttons instead.

[@Famicomnoobation]

And now, for exemple, Super Jump, you'd press Y to open the menu and then Y again for timings and confirmations. In the remake they made it so that A still confirms and do the timed hits, that actually messed me up a lot in the beggining

[@Mari_Izu]

Because there's no regional controller buttons this time, so they just used the Super Famicom colors. Hope Nintendo gets back to adding these colors, New 3DS had them and it's better than just having the controller's colors with a thin letter.

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

​@@Famicomnoobation that's something you can change in the settings. I think it was something like battle controls type B, or something like that.

[@Mike-uh5xl]

@@wariolandgoldpiramid Had to immediately change to type B since my muscle memory was so ingrained

[@VaniRoyal]

I love the toad vest change, it makes Toad the character/ Mario’s friend Toad easier to identify when he’s the only one wearing a blue vest. I wish Nintendo did that more.

[@Mario87456]

So do I, it really annoys me how they can’t be bothered to keep it consistent that Toad is SUPPOSED to be the only red Toad with a blue vest

[@KopperNeoman]

I kinda wish Toad would befriend a human named Human, just to underline the joke.

[@Nesseight]

They could have just had him take off his helmet like in the meme.

[@scrittle]

How about we Minionise them and give them all different shapes and sizes

[@yukino4452]

If you want to make a part 2; In the original during battles, the character portraits blink if you don't do a command. now in the remake they dont do it.

[@G102Y5568]

One thing you should have mentioned is that they fixed the typo with the item "Heal Shell", which is now properly spelled "Heel Shell". So many people were confused in the original as to why Bowser's armor didn't do what its name suggested and didn't heal him.

[@Animebryan2]

Heel still makes no sense either.

[@UnabashedNerd]

Heel is an old school term for people who were villainous or treated other people badly/unfairly. That's Bowser 100%

[@rokuken]

I didn’t even know that. I usually just compare the numbers and if they go up, I equip it. If most go down, I leave it be. The one I do remember the most is the Lazy Shell Weapon and Armor.

[@JASpiring]

@@UnabashedNerd Yeah. it's a pro-wrestling term. Heels are villains, faces are heroes.

[@matthewjohnson9714]

I know one of the bigger changes is in the Forest Maze, where they moved the narrow strip with the save block right before Bowyer. It looks like they also made it where when your party wipes, you don't retain any Exp. since your last save, making you unable to exploit leveling up with starmans.

[@さゆぬ-x7i]

2:35 In Japanese they have always been called Shanderiwan (Shanderia + Wanwan), it’s interesting that this time they emulated it in the English version. Chaindelier is a fun name!

[@evanseifert8858]

The word chandelier already has too many vowels so my eyes just gloss over the new one. I do like the wordplay though.

[@HailSocialite]

Can’t believe Mario, Bowser, and Peach all got demoted

[@Ryan-is-me]

These are great! I hope you make a series out of this so we can see what's different in the rest of the game

[@WyvernLP]

Its awesome how they stayed faithful to the original designs despite the higher graphic hardware they could have used.

[@maxenswlfr1877]

The game already lags sometimes lol

[@legend3454]

I'm glad that their pun game got better over the last few decades.

[@ninjaguyYT]

I know the implication is that Peach was a damsel because of sexism and whatnot, but I think they did that to try to keep her inclusion in battles as a surprise. I was too poor back then to keep up with next gen systems like the Super Nintendo, but I imagine they were like "Yeah, so you make a team of Mario characters and new characters to save Peach and find the mysterious stars". They didn't want to give away that Bowser and Peach join you since that's kinda cool (I don't think Peach ever knew how to fight yet in other games, and obviously Bowser would never join your team as any Mario fan knows). So they did it that way by making her still look like the end goal (rescuing her). But since everyone who is interested in this game probably already knows she and Bowser join you, there was no "harm" in showing her fighting (especially since we have Peach fighting in Smash and Princess Peach).

[@merimkastrat5846]

Gotta remember that at that time, there was no way Peach would be a fighter until Super Smash Bros. Melee. Then again, she was a fighter in Super Mario Bros. 2 but it was all a dream so nothing really happened. It could be an indication that its meant as a surprise. Either that, or they know fans would be fed up with Peach being kidnapped so they change it a bit (even though she still gets kidnapped in the game itself). Later on, Peach shows to be a fighter in some of Mario titles, and this time its not a dream. Along with having her own game. So they have no reason to make her Damsel in Distress, instead just make her a peaceful, innocent princess.

[@katomamundara8106]

@@merimkastrat5846 SMB2 was also a English 'coat of paint' of a completely unrelated game.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@katomamundara8106 It actually wasn't completely unrelated. Doki Doki Panic started as a prototype for SMB2 before getting shelved for not really going anywhere, then the code was reused to make DDP. Miyamoto actually worked on the engine that became DDP/SMB2 USA, but didn't work on the Japanese SMB2/The Lost Levels.

[@DeskoDev]

​@@katomamundara8106Though said coat-of-paint did end up getting a release in Japan later down the line.

[@Wiechmaster]

I believe you are correct. The intent was that even the fact that Smithy not Bowser was meant to be hidden which is why Exor doesn't show up even on the title screen until after the opening is complete. The US marketing dept did not get that or simply did not agree with the artistic approach when it came time so design the box and advertising so it was not as much of a surprise as it was intended to be.

[@l3rvn0]

I'm playing both games simultaneously and the funny thing is that despite the change in 6:39 , in the SNES version I went to the vault and got the items, while on the Switch I got distracted talking to a friend and only got the items when I returned to the castle later.

[@BabusGameRoom]

1:15 I think Peach was presented differently on the SNES because it was a bit of a secret that her (and Bowser!) were even going to be playable characters at all. All of the battle scenes in the intro just had Mario, Mallow, and Geno. Never Bowser or Peach. Of course, by now, that detail can't be kept secret!

[@headman82]

Since Mario is tiny it makes sense that he’s not named Super Mario

[@Nintenerdo]

Kinklink and pipehouse is self explanatory for the change...

[@bobby.palacios]

2 griped with the remake: One is the remake made an already easy game even easier And 2, this is more of a nitpick but I really wish Nintendo would let their game’s have a unique presentation. All of their games have adopted that minimalistic font and user interface design.

[@jordanbauer740]

the reason that they call her princess toadstool in the snes version is because the game came out before her name was changed to princess peach and nobody calls mario super mario anymore not for a long time, also nobody calls bowser king bowser except his minions and the only people that refer to peach as the princess are the toads that serve her

[@TheRealBatabii]

I don't like how the intro "spoils" the fact that peach and bowser become party members

[@ArceusDX]

It's not a spoiler though, you go into this game knowing full well they become party members thanks to the box art and the main eshop page, it's not meant to be a secret

[@moth2120]

@@ArceusDXThey're referring to as opposed to the OG specifically, I believe. But as another comment points out, so much time has passed since then, it's not as cool or shocking

[@scrittle]

The original did have cutscenes-

[@StarRightStarTight]

I may be crazy but I feel like several sound effects from Mario’s pantomime are missing. Like in the original i am pretty sure there was a sound effect when he shook his head “yes” and he made growling noises when he was playing with Gaz using the Bowser doll. Not huge omissions, but they added charm to the silent protagonist trope.

[@Wendy_O._Koopa]

Oddly enough, I'm pretty sure they added the "swish" sound effect when transforming, I could have sworn it was silent before. Of course, I could be wrong, I'd need to watch them back to back.

[@jasons5915]

Because they didn't want Mario "piping" all his friends in there. (Be it Peach, Bowser, Mallow, or Geno, y'know, whoever you ship him with.)

[@tracyjackson7419]

A change that I hadn't seen talked about -- the way to get to the casino has been tweaked. In the original, you had to jump three times in that pipe area to show the path, but there was no confirmation sound, so it was extremely difficult to find. However, in the Switch version there's a chime that's played that clues you in.

[@WhoIsSirChasm]

I don't know why, but some of those dialogue changes, no matter how small, feel just a little less magical. "Attack the chain" rather than "aim for the chain" loses that little near-rhyme, "he knows about Action Commands" isn't as funny-sounding as "he knows about timed hits"... it's probably just my bias for the original, but I still miss them. Out of curiosity, is that first hidden item you need to jump on Toad for still missable?

[@TheDarkYoshi64]

The first hidden chest is actually able to be grabbed later on if missed according to a post in a magazine done before the game came out if I’m not mistaken?

[@Schmoseph]

They added a toad that hangs around that spot after you beat Claymorton iirc.

[@kochiyama]

Hundreds of little changes just sucked all the soul out of this remake. I knew it was gonna be bad when I saw they censored the dialog with the toad kid who runs around in circles. Get the fuck out of here with that sidekick shit. And take the Frog Sage and Claymorton with you.

About the peach damsel in distress change: I definitely see it’s merit in the original, and for the era it definitely made for an interesting twist, since the Damsel in distress trope was there to be broken. However I don’t think that’s the case anymore, since there have been so many female main characters (including peach) at this point, that it’s not unexpected for her to be a playable character. Maybe less dramatic in the remake, but a good sign of the times.

[@mattblom3990]

The worst change in my opinion was renaming "Frogfucious" into "Frog Sage". It was obviously a political choice and if you're going to do that, then at least come up with another creative name instead of "placeholder name Alpha XX-5" which is what it felt like. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong and returning him his pie or doing something else would actually name him. The Bruce Lee joke removal I also don't understand, maybe it's to do with marketing rights.

@@WrathMania32 The fact you even bothered to reply says you do. Frogfucious is a strange one.

As someone who never thought this day would come, I’d say that overall the remake is adequate - but the things they DID change are very subtly disappointing. It’s like meeting your hero in person but when you go to shake his hand it’s wet for some reason.

[@toddruthemeyer4622]

[@scrittle]

Changing stuff for the sake of consistency. I love Bowser's modern sprite, but I was hoping for a 3D model of the old one: darker, grimmer, sharper teeth, bigger shell/smaller body. Modern Bowser is a buffoon, old Bowser was intimidating. This is a minor jab. Peach and Yoshi however? Hate 'em.

Why they rename PipeHouse? Cuz u know pipe is what he's laying when the princess is over there. Maybe even toad too

[@Cliffordlonghead]

How about the Missable frog coins was fix in the remake.

[@JRS06]

If they can bring back the Toad Minister, than they can bring back Toadsworth.

[@JASpiring]

They should've replaced him with Toadsworth, since that's what Toadsworth is in later games.

[@ElfilinSupporter]

dats a cool intro

[@yungdahl9620]

Pipehouse sounds like something the migos would write about

[@SoraFan23]

I really was bothered that they changed Mack's name. Like come on there was nothing wrong with it.

[@Dragan3rd]

Same. But I wonder if they had to tiptoe tf around copyright and whatnot, there's probably a technical reason for the change from the production side of it all. I'm just happy we got it, even if his new name is Claymorton, he'll always be Mack to me!

[@SoraFan23]

@@Dragan3rd and Speardivich will always be Yaridovich to me.

Why is it a bouncing knife when the characters are clearly on pogo-sticks ?

[@rokuken]

I’m loving the remake so far. It has put a nostalgic smile on my face the whole way through. Although, I didn’t like the fact that they changed some names around like Mack is now Claymorton, Yaridovich is now Speardovich and Magikoopa is Wizakoopa. Why would they do that? I don’t see the point of doing so. And feels like it is easier now if you use the Triple Combo thingy and when you time the hits perfectly, it hits the others around. So it really feels easier now and I hate that fact. Other than that, I’m loving the game so far. I’m currently heading to Land’s End. Can’t wait to see more!

[@enochliu8316]

Yaridovich is a not quite complete translation of the Japanese name. Yari in Japanese is Spear. They simply completed the translation.

[@dave_the_slick8584]

Claymorton is a better name. Mack is just a guy while Claymorton is a claymore named Morton!

[@JASpiring]

Wizakoopa is just a regular Magikoopa isn't he? That name change doesn't make sense. If anything, since that particular Magikoopa is a boss fight, he should've been Kamek.

[@rokuken]

@@enochliu8316 I did not know that. Thanks for that. Still, since we grew up with those character names, I’m still calling them by their original ones. Because nostalgia. But don’t mind me. I also noticed they eliminated the spring that takes you to the start of the level in Bandit’s Way when you defeat Croco. But I didn’t realize that you could just pause the game and go back to the overworld or just fast travel to any place and I went back the way I came. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@enochliu8316]

@@rokuken The spring is replaced by another exit to the world map, so for those who have not played the original, they may go out the exit instead.

[@Latinofire202]

Ah, so Nintendo decided to hold our hand. Awesome smh

[@docArr666]

Quality of life improvements.

[@veronicaporras9246]

Part 2 please

[@RhumpleOriginal]

The second item about peach, the only thing that changed was the opening credits. After that you just show normal stuff from the game that didnt change. Unless I missed something.

[@ICheat-uk3hq]

As a grown man with a dirty mind, pipe house is way better

[@twindragonstvab]

I started to realize that shysters is in super Nintendo and Shymore is in the remake. Also their special move drain in super Nintendo and hot shot was in the remake. Also super Nintendo game can't block any special while remake can block inly single special attacks.

[@samba1one531]

I would watch this but I wanna play the game first

[@awkwardsilence4427]

Luckily it only covers really early game stuff.

[@pyroflare7774]

Then why are you here?

[@BryanOrion-m5i]

I never understood why Nintendo changed Princess Toadstool to Peach in the 90's. Toadstool is a mushroom, which is synonymous with the franchise. Peach is a fruit.

[@awkwardsilence4427]

They did it to make it more cohesive with Japan, wherein she was always known as Princess Peach (like how Dr. Robotnik was always known as Eggman in Japan). Though I wish they kept it like how Mario 64 portrayed it, where Princess Toadstool was her title but Peach was her first name.

[@JASpiring]

She's named after the colour pink, not the fruit. In Japanese Momo means both peach and pink. The localizers renamed her because as you say, it's off theme.

[@BryanOrion-m5i]

@@JASpiring Had no idea but that makes sense - thank you!

[@Jspath3]

They removed the forest maze Bruce lee joke :(😢

[@TheGuillermo54]

I hope someday some modder makes a render96 version of mario rpg on switch. The snes original 3d renders modded on to switch remake

[@GReaper]

They did leave Princess's ??? In the game... I'm surprised they didn't remove that. Lol.

[@kricku]

Who do you think you are? Bruce Lee?

[@Cliffordlonghead]

They should've change Bruce Lee to Captain Falcon or Little Mac.

[@kricku]

@@Cliffordlonghead EXACTLY my thought but Super Macho Man

[@nowhereallow]

Where`s the Peach`s panties easter egg? hahahaha

[@AzureRoxe]

Still there.

[@awkwardsilence4427]

It’s unchanged from the original, so it wouldn’t be considered a difference.

[@Wendy_O._Koopa]

You think she keeps her _panties_ under her chair cushion? Poor naïve soul.

[@MortonGoldthwait]

It took me awhile to adjust to the hyper smooth animation of the remake, but seeing them side by side, I had forgotten how rough the original game looks on modern screens. The remake is far and away the superior game.
