[@zimmerman1031]

Good luck with your depression and anxiety. It's tough to win a battle against your mind when your mind is your weapon. It's easier with support from a therapist and psychiatrist. Sunlight and a walk, or a ride on a bike or exercise bike is helpful too, especially for me.

[@tcraig2022]

[@bradleynoble8101]

Speaking of this game I'm currently doing a playthrough of Super Mario RPG where I have to beat the game without using any special moves. I don't know what my final setup will be for the Smithy fight but feel free to give me some suggestions in the comments.

[@pidgezero_one]

When you say no special moves, are items off the table? I think you could get away with a pretty standard build (best weapons for each character, best shop armor if you're underleveled and worried about it, work pants otherwise, lazy shell on one member). Good accessories would be Quartz Charm, Jinx Belt, Safety Ring (all 3 prevent Smithy's OHKO move). Beyond that, bring some rock candies (mushroom boy hell) and ice bombs (moleville menuing hell). Rock candy will do 300 damage with an attack boost, and Smithy's most attack-resistant formation is weak to ice bombs (420 damage with boost). Stock up on a few Crystallines and Power Blasts from Tadpole Pond so that you can keep your teams stats all the way up and reapply them after Shredder. For your actual teammates themselves, it's really up to you who you bring. I think any trio could work in theory, but Bowser will probably give you the best time.

Well! Thank you to the runner for teaching me something I didn't know, and it's barely four minutes into the run. I was not aware that using Jump levelled up its power.

[@ONShypnos]

Super Mario RPG was developed by Square with input from the Mario team rather than by Nintendo. Square had a falling out with Nintendo during the shift from SNES to N64 and ceased developing anything for their systems. Since Square owned the rights to a bunch of the stuff in the games and did most of the actual work, this torpedoed any chance of a sequel (this is also who there's very few direct references to SMRPG in other Mario games - they need Square's permission to use them and that hasn't always been easy to get). Paper Mario was actually called SMRPG2 during development but the name changed at some point.

[@leegrevillea6700]

@@ONShypnos Ah, thank you. Watched others play Paper Mario, it never really "grabbed me" the way SMRPG did.

[@maxdecphoenix]

@@ONShypnos Name would have been changed as soon as the product was set to go public, they could have called it anything else they wanted during development so long as they didn't publicize it.

[@Kienannnn]

Largely because SMRPG was a collaboration between Nintendo and Square. Shortly after SMRPG's release, Square was kinda pissed that Nintendo's new system would used cartridges, so they made the decision to develop their superlative title FF7 for the Playstation instead, effectively severing ties with Nintendo.

Not sure about this one specifically, but many RPGs and Japanese-centric runs time from console on to end of credits. DQ3 on super famicom is a great example.

[@ZipplyZane]

Ah, and if they are comparing directly to Japanese players, which would make sense since they are using the Japanese version, it would make sense to use their timing method. That's a good bit of insight, whether it turns out to be accurate in this case or not. Thanks!

[@bmac4]

JRTA sort of agreed on a universal timing of Power On > End Credits, because a universal standard made it easy to switch from game to game without argument back when there were no community discords and whatnot. Many games/communities abandoned this over time (Paper Mario used to but now it ends time just after last input on a visual cue for instance), SMRPG has just held onto it for traditions sake.
