Transforming a platformer into an RPG never did seem like an easy recipe for success, but somehow the Mario series has caught this rare form of lightning in a bottle not only once, not only twice, but three times over. The classic SNES title Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars established a winning formula of comedy, adventure and unique gameplay which has continued on to this day, and now two different series carry the torch for Mario's RPG outings; both known for their strong writing, fun mechanics and colourful settings. When these worlds collide it's about as manic as you might expect.
The Mario & Luigi series has been dormant since the Nintendo 3DS, but the success of the Switch is the perfect opportunity to bring it back.

There have been quite a few Mario RPGs, but what are the best Mario RPG games? As a hint, they don't include Sticker Star.
Super Mario RPG will always be my no. 1 Mario RPG. The N64 Paper Mario is a very close second.
Yeah, I think that the Mario RPGs, especially the earlier ones, have been pretty consistently good games.
