![]() ![]() Of course, I eventually got to play it through emulation and then buying an imported cart many years later, I think it was also on Wii Virtual Console. I didn't even really know what an RPG was, I just knew it was Mario, but with a story, in a "3d" perspective, and pre-rendered CG graphics. I personally didn't start importing games til the 32 bit era, so it felt completely out of reach for me, and I really wanted to play it. Super Mario RPG become somewhat of a mythical game for many, myself included, because we saw previews of it in magazines and it looked so cool, but it was never officially released. Just as with most of the popular SNES RPGs they didn't want to bother translating them into multiple languages (or perhaps it wasn't possible because of cartridge storage sizes?) so they just never released them in Europe, not even UK only - very frustrating for English speakers considering English translations were done for the US market. Sadly, in Europe, the game never got released. The novelty of what that felt like back then is hard to accurately describe nowadays, and Super Mario RPG had this in spades. After DKC, pre-rendered sprites were all the rage, and I liked isometric games giving us freedom to move around previously 2d worlds in a "3d" way - hense why I loved Sonic 3D so much as it ticked both boxes. ![]() Kazuyuki Kurashima has stated that the parrot on Valentina's head is a homage to Squawks from Donkey Kong Country.I always really loved the look of this game.Valentina casts more spells than any other boss in the game.However, in battle, she is much taller than him. Oddly, outside of battle, Valentina is about the same size as Mario.Petal Blast, Aurora Flash, Light Beam, Solidify, Drain Beam, Diamond Saw, Water Blast, Blizzard, Crystal Mario should use his Ultra Jump while Bowser attacks physically. Princess Peach is greatly needed for this battle as her Group Hug move can heal everybody. Valentina, being a human, has no specific weaknesses so it is recommended to use strong moves against her. In battle, Valentina is capable of using numerous of special attacks in battle but her deadliest is Petal Blast that can turn Mario's entire party into mushrooms. Booster suddenly runs away, Valentina runs after him, and Dodo (who was the best man) stands behind confused. Valentina isn't seen again until near the end of the game where it appears that she and Booster got married. Seeing no choice, Valentina (joined by Dodo) fights Mario and the others in a battle but ends up losing. Valentina then attempts to leave Nimbus Land but is stopped by Mario and the others. ![]() After Valentina's plan has been discovered, she attempts to flee from the castle by leaving though the back entrance. Upon hearing the Mario and the real Prince Mallow have arrived, Valentina had set up several roadblocks to slow them (such as Birdo in one room). Valentina then attempted to marry Dodo in order to become the next ruler of Nimbus Land. Valentina is first seen in Nimbus Land where she managed to fool the Nimbus people, or specifically, King Nimbus and Queen Nimbus, into thinking Dodo is Prince Mallow. In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Valentina is also obsessed with her looks. She also treats her servants, more commonly Dodo, unfairly and usually yells at them if something goes wrong. Valentina is incredibly power-hungry as she would do everything to gain power. There is a light green bird on her head, appearing to be used as a hat. Valentina is a rather tall human who wears a white dress.
