Super Mario RPG Leaks/Datamines

[marble panther]

was quite hard to make out what some of the original enemies were meant to be

[night fjord]

presentation was a major hurdle for me to get invested in the snes original, not gonna lie

i think the biggest thing that took me out of the experience was the fact that the background color for most locations was just solid black

or solid highly saturated blue

but even on the gameplay aspect, they added so much big and small changes and additions that really make feel like a complete package

[marble panther]

also like how they based stuff off the original sprites and not the old official renders
for example (sprite vs new model vs old render)

[night fjord]

wow the sprite looks so much more interesting

[gusty summit]

||that enemy is kinda meant to be a bunch of smaller things that form into a cluster, the original render was meant to be a render of only one of the smaller creatures||

i think

[marble panther]

||I mean, either way other stuff is clearly based off of the original sprite, for example the Czar Dragon and Boomer||

||also I think it would be weird if the Engima and Engimax/Gorgon renders were only suppose to show one, think it would be based on the full thing (like most of the other renders; it isn't like Cluster or Pulsar's was based on the small thing inside)||

[gusty summit]

||i mean it's the only good explanation other than the 3D render person only getting a blurry image, which i would personally say feels unlikely||

[marble panther]

||btw, I do like how stuff has death animations now||

[marble panther]

||still feels weird to just do the one no matter how you put it||

[gusty summit]

||yeah but it's the only explanation i could think of||

[marble panther]

||like, where is my render of him then smh||

[marble panther]

more comparisons because I'm bored

[night fjord]

yeah renders are mostly kind of lame ngl

[stark wren]

yeah agreed

like the entire visual appeal of the game came from the actual sprites rather than the honestly kinda poor looking renders

bowser in-game: baby

artwork bowser: balloon man

[night fjord]

honestly the weird modeling isnt even the biggest issue

posing is so

not it

like in the sprite he has a stance. on the render he's just kind of looks like a ragdoll

[stark wren]

i think the modeling is also a huge part of the issue

[night fjord]

it is no doubt

[stark wren]

mfer looking like

[night fjord]

but it couldve been not as bad if posing wasnt so lackluster

[stark wren]

but bottomline i am very happy they took the sprites as the basis

that's where the smrpg designs actually shine

appealing anime

vs

why she ourple

[night fjord]

probably desaturated scan?

[stark wren]

i find it funny how peach looks so animesque in the battle sprites

probably the one time she wasn't using lipstick

[night fjord]

she doesn't use it in paper mario either. honestly might be a hot take but i prefer peach without lipstick

though i certainly dont mind how she looks in the remake, it's cute

[stark wren]

i like her without lipstick in the more chibi designs like smrpg/paper

[rustic wharf]

too late

[stark wren]

i think she looks better with it in the models

[stark wren]

[night fjord]

tbh might be one of the cutest peaches

[stark wren]

plugging KH but it's the same vibe of chain of memories sprites lol

[stuck fern]

Actual rpg sprite moment

[stark wren]

like seeing disney princesses without lipstick is blursed

[stark wren]

yeah lmao

[night fjord]

still one of the coolest alterations i think

you can tell they really cared a lot about this game

[stuck fern]

Takeout box castle

[stark wren]

huh... white with blue spires.. where have i seen this before..........

[rich dome]

is there a list of thought peeks yet

[minor grove]

[minor grove]

woah okay

[steel yoke]

Oh

[minor grove]

btw if you want to follow along https://www.mariowiki.com/Monster_List still a work in progress though

[rich dome]

they even brought back the unused terrapin thought peek

[severe moon]

Origami King Bob-ombs

[tepid dragon]

bumpy

[minor grove]

the sequel

[gusty summit]

ok so i can't take screenshots but lmao
the monster list text for K-9 is
||"Their official name is "Blueish-Tinged Gray K-9." Due to character count limitations, it displays as simply "K-9" in game.||"

[cyan chasm]

I Wonder ive there is more secret bosses in this game

Also

Price for 100% ?

[rich dome]

||this joke doesn't really work as well for K-9 given how short the name already is tbh||

||also i think the joke is that in JP it seems to be called "Gray Dog" when it's definitely blue||

||so uh, double joke that doesn't work in localization||

oh well

[gusty summit]

oh

||why does the monster list and thought peek for Bowser Clone have him roll his Rs?
Is it a weird cultural reference||

||Covid ruining everything ever named corona ||

[gusty summit]

As a person who frequently reads and edits Mariowiki i am mildly pissed rn because somebody moved a bunch of Mario RPG enemy names without editing the names in the actual article

they also moved Mokura to Formless because the name was changed, even though it literally wasn't, that was always the name of the first phase
||especially funny because it actually did get renamed too||

[tepid dragon]

respect to you and other volunteers, but that sounds like a large enough clusterfuck to log out for a few weeks and let other people sort it out

[tepid dragon]

honestly i appreciate an added Final Fantasy reference

[marble panther]

btw, if anyone was wondering, this song's official English name is ||Battling Smithy’s Many Forms||

[minor grove]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-dqkSFmBYk|| Hopefully it works this time

[marble panther]

and this song is ||The Hill||

[stark wren]

god slope 😭

i missed you so much

what a fantastic rendition

i can mod every song into smash now without feeling out of place

[tepid dragon]

is anything about the 100 superjumps altered from the snes version?

[tired lagoon]

||Just the amount of frames changing from 50ms to 100ms to successfully jump||
