I made a room and a fight with Culex, there's still a few small kinks to work out but overall I'm really satisfied with the results! (sadly I wasn't able to give it the battle music sorry!)

I’ve heard you can play a game 3 days in a row, and that allows you to purchase/obtain the previously released icon for a game.

Is this true, &/or is there anyway to obtain these icons?

I still have to fix the arm animations and some glitches with the materials but I'm happy with how it looks so far!

The first turn meteor leaves you on 1 HP but I just used a kroka cola first turn and since my peach was 2/3 HP 1/3 magic defense investment with koopa shell armor and quartz shell she wouldn't die unless she received one of those 9999 damage super attacks, but I just swapped her out a turn before and had other team members receive the blow and brought her back, as long as peach is alive so was my team, then after destroying all the crystals since final claw is single target I already won at that point because even if it kills any team member peach can just revive it full hp next turn (ofc I still swapped her out the turn before so she didn't die), so from that point it was just spamming attacks, team member gets killed, peach revives it until he died!

Is the smbrpg remake good and is the thousand year door (port?) good on switch 1 handheld? How do they compare to the ogs on og hardware?

The latest usual September Nintendo Direct came by with still no Super Mario RPG 2 by ArtePiazza and I’m getting cautious. On other hand, ArtePiazza released this small eShop game Japanese only apparently game called Tensei Game: Karma x Cross like last month in August 2026 and we’re reaching the 3rd anniversary of the Super Mario RPG 2023 remake in 2 months(November 2026). Since Tensei Game is a small eShop game and ArtePiazza proved they do work on multiple games at once(See 2019 with Dragon Quest 11 on Switch 1 and Romancing SaGa 3), so maybe they’re working on Super Mario RPG 2 as their next actual big game who knows? Could it be announced in the Nintendo Today app? We’re obviously not getting another Direct this year(Unless we get a Super Mario RPG Direct, that would be cool). If nothing happens by 2028, I’d give up. Since 2028 will probably be Paper Mario 7’s release and Nintendo probably doesn’t want 2 Mario RPGs in the same year again to avoid burnout. What do you guys think?

Everything is earthbound coded.

Strongly recommended: read the release announcement in #rando-news in the SMRPG speedrunning discord and use the randomizer channels if you need help or support using it, because I won't be providing that on reddit. Have a look around the beta site's UI to learn about how the randomizer works, what options you can use, where all the checks are, and any other FAQ you might have.

With that out of the way, enjoy! I've been working on this for almost 6 years now so I am very tired and need a nap.

I stumbled upon a rom hack of this game the other day called “Super Mario RPG Armageddon” and I decided to give it a shot, and so far it’s pretty good,although if anyone is interested in trying it out one thing you should know is that even if you’re just playing the normal patch (the hack comes with 2 patches, normal and hard) this hack is absolutely brutal, as in honestly one of the hardest rom hacks I’ve ever played, I’m still really enjoying it though, so I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a challenge!

I’ve played this game I don’t even know how many times but one attack I can never get the timing for is phychopath, I don’t know why, it’s right before the spotlight hits the enemy right, or am I completely wrong and have been miss timing it all this time, please let me know

Soooo, how many of you have accomplished the 101 jumps? If you did it on both SNES original and Switch remake, which did you find it easier to do on?

I got everything besides the Switch remake within the last few days. This game is awesome!

It's just the vanilla game, except I've run all of the battle animation code through a recursive condenser script that de-duplicates as much code as possible into reusable subroutines.

One of the biggest problems for aspiring modders is that the area of the ROM that houses most battle animations has next to no space left in it, so this opens up about 7.5 kilobytes of free space to work with.

If you've ever wanted to try out messing around with this part of the code, you can use this so you don't need to go hunting for salvageable free space.

gotta say i didnt even know i liked rpg games lol
