Super Mario
Adventure
The N64
sequel to SMRPG will focus more towards an action/RPG
blending than a straight RPG like the original. The
graphics will lean towards those of Yoshi's Story except
they replace the 2D background w/ 3D and the 3D
characters w/ 2D. Also like Yoshi's Story, the game will
focus on a younger generation of players. Whether or not
this game will be a success in the US is questionable,
considering that this game has quite a few opposites from
the design that made it's predacessor a hit. The battles
will be along the same lines as those of SMRPG, except
that your partner characters attack on call using the
friend command, and then are controlled by the game AI,
rather than the player. In terms of design, aside from
the fact that the graphics are as opposite as can be from
the original, the game plays very much like SMRPG. As far
as the story goes, it seems that we have another Bowser
steals the Princess and Mario has to save her game. This
game is still unfolding and it should be interesting to
see how it turns out.
