I liked Super Mario RPG at least five times better than Super Mario 64 myself. It was the first Mario game to have a real story and character arcs and a message and it was ridiculously fun how Square incorporated many traditional Super Mario elements like platforming and fire flowers, et al, into an RPG framework. The art style is also among the most gorgeous on the Super NES. It was my favorite Mario game until Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (which remains my all-time fave Mario title) came out eight years later.
