I mainly know Super Mario RPG as the game Geno, that guy obnoxious parts of the Smash Bros fandom won't shut up about, is from. So I had no idea it contained something like this. Interesting how well designed it is despite being so different from everything related to it. I'm not much of a score chaser though so I'd probably save my coins for something else if I play SMRPG.

You eventually end up with more coins than you know what to do with, but at the time it becomes available, yeah, it might seem pricey. Someone at Square definitely had a thing for classic fixed shooters but wanted to put a spin on it that 16-bit tech could handle in a way those early 80s arcade hardware could not!

I love Mario RPG and played it so many times when I was younger. And I spent way too many hours with Beetle Mania.

This was always supposed to be the first of these, for what I'm pretty sure are similar reasons. A game inside a game, what a concept, etc. to me as a 10-year-old.
