Am I alone in thinking Super Mario RPG is inferior to other Mario RPGs?

Yeah, basically the later games are all vastly superior, it's just that, well, SMRPG was the first Mario RPG. People get blinded by nostalgia and tend to look at the game through rose-tinted glasses. Sure it's a great game, but the later ones are just, well, better. I think most evryone would agree if they were to look at each game objectively and unbiased. Though everyone is entitled to their own opinion, of course.

Did the later ones have Geno?

I think not.

Ok.  I didn't really love Geno... but a lot of people did for some reason.  Why no one every made a second game with him i'll never know.

Anyway.  I dunno.  Super Mario RPG i think really did the best job of combining RPG with Mario.  The rest have been good... but not been quite as RPGish to me.

 

 

Square-Enix owns the rights to Geno, as well as all other original characters in the game like Mallow. Geno has a cameo in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and Alphadream/Nintendo had to get a separate license to use him in the game.

So unless Squeenix and Nintendo can come up with a some kind of agreement, don't expect to see Geno again - Squeenix has probably forgotten the character anyway.

As for the topic: I actually prefer Super Paper Mario over most of the other RPG's - just because of the Nerd Chapter.
