Useless Super Mario RPG Facts!

Here's a very obscure fact, the Toad you return the wallet to can actually hand out a flower jar under a very specific set of circumstances. If you keep the wallet all the way up to Rose Town, then find the Forest Maze treasure room before talking to the Toad who tells you directions to get there, once you go back and talk to the Toad, he'll congratulate you for finding it. Now for whatever bizarre reason, going all the way back and giving the other Toad his wallet back, he'll give you a flower jar instead of a tab or frog coin. Unfortunately, this apparently isn't in the remake so either they removed it, or it's so obscure and strange that they simply forget which I wouldn't blame them honestly

Here's a fun fact: the box art is based on the original Japanese box art

"It's a, uhhh, uuhhhhhhh it's a sex toy. You know what it is." This is the closest-to-blunt I've heard a gaming trivia video be about an instance of the "weirdly adult hidden gag in an RPG" genre. I bring this up because I have a concerning amount of teenhood memories of someone telling me "you can find a secret item by clicking on this pillow in this girl's room. It's just labeled with ?'s, but you can probably guess what it's supposed to be 💁‍♂" and I'd think "she lost a tooth??????"

In Japan, they use X as a blank space, so Peach's secret item can be anything, though usually people think it's underwear so it makes sense that the grandmother would know about it.

I think my favorite detail relates to the Hurly Glove, one of Bowser's equippable attack items. Normally when Bowser attacks with it he throws mario, who's waiting for his turn, at an enemy (twice if you hit the action command). If Mario is either under a status effect or unconscious, however, Bowser will take a Mario doll out of his pocket and toss that, instead. Why he's carrying a Mario doll with him at all times is unknown, but we aren't ones to pry, are we?

Standing on the kid toad’s head running around in circles is my favorite funny moment in the game, there’s even even a toad that jumps on his bed like lots of young kids do and if you talk to him and say yes, he jumps up and down faster, however standing on his head doesn’t make Mario feel sick or dizzy lol Super Mario RPG is filled with so much soul and charm!☺️💫

I think that Bowser kissing Mario is the best of the 4 kissing scenes. The Peach kissing Mario maybe the hardest to get but while it is standard hero reward, it is kind of boring. Booster kissing Mario is kind of eerie, and while Bowser and Booster kissing Mario is funny the feels like sandpaper quote kind of ruins the moment. So yeah Bowser saying that he and Peach are now allies is funny and then he realizes he kissed Mario. I bet that Mario and Bowser were shocked when that happen. Mario was hoping that Peach would kiss him and Bowser is probably spitting and gagging offscreen in disgust after he realizes he kissed his archenemy Mario.

So if I'm not mistaken, the Luigi's Wish from the Remake isn't actually changed, it's just that in the Japanese original that was the actual translation, it was the English version that changed it to add the "be a great Plumber like my brother Mario" part

10:39 the shoulder buttons actually have three uses, not two. Using the shoulder button while running around in the overworld will make you walk instead. Not exactly useless, but still.

i’m pretty sure the ??? in peach’s room was meant to be her underwear and not a sex toy which would explain why her grandma was scolding you.

Interesting how, if you assume the XXX in peach's room is alcohol, that peach has been caught with alcohol atleast twice in the japanese nintendo games, being the mario kart victory screen and, of course, mario rpg. If theres any other references to peach with alcohol exclusively in japan then im gonna start believing peach spends her time between getting captured absolutely wasted drunk

The Toad couple going to Star Hill to make a wish might just be gossip, an urban legend or they thought it'd be neat for their marriage (like a couple going to a special shrine). We know wishes go up to Star Road and take the form of stars but because it was broken, wishes fell down to Star Hill instead. And the new postgame content confirms this since there's new wishes there

In the Japanese version it says Peach's XXX mot because it's more suggestive but because the X symbol can be used in the same context as the ?, like when something this mysterious or unknown. It's kind of like how the red circle ⭕ in Japanese is "correct" while in the West it's usually a (green) checkmark ✔️

A note: in Japanese, "XXX" is a placeholder, similar to how we use "???" in English.

The reason for the name changes were probably made because the remake was based on the Japanese version

13:27 Super Mario RPG: the Legend of the Seven Snifsters 😂

You got me with the save poses only. Who would ever refuse to save the game multiple times in a row?

If you stand in front of Punchinello, he punches you into the save block in the other room. Pretty funny, I think.

Regarding Luigi’s wish changing, during the development (or possibly slightly afterward), it was stated that the Mario bros are no longer plumbers, but full-time “heroes” instead. This change in dialogue is probably just to keep up-to-date with the new highly important Mario lore.

Wait, so Peach's jab in Smash is a reference to her not using any weapon in Super Mario RPG
