#meanwhile Geno is a living doll that literally knocks mario out and is equipped with artillery

It was really funny watching some people on twitter who were playing Super Mario RPG for the first time wondering why Geno was the character people always brought up from the game when Mallow has more screen time. The answer is simply that Geno, both from a design and mechanics perspective, appealed more to the demographic that Super Mario RPG was aimed at. To an audience of predominantly young boys, Geno is an objectively cooler character

#super mario rpg #smrpg #super mario #geno #mallow #no hate to mallow; of course; but the truth is that Geno is cooler #Mallow comes across as more cute. he has a rounder; softer design. he's literally a crybaby #meanwhile Geno is a living doll that literally knocks mario out and is equipped with artillery #all of Geno's weapons are some manner of gun; his name is literally incomprehensible to us #getting the 9999 on Geno Whirl is the coolest thing to a kid because nothing else even comes close to doing that much #also; Mallow benefits a lot from both the party switching and the more obvious enemy weaknesses of the remake #in the original the team most people use is Mario; Peach; Geno #Peach's healing is busted; and Geno is your best mixed attacker #Geno is genuinely just above curve on both of his offenses and his magic benefits from being easier to time than Mallows #and from not having the chance to do 0 damage to an enemy because his magic is element-less #also Geno Boost is just really good since it gives you a 50% increase to attack and defense #all this together just makes Geno more appealing #he also gets bonus points for disappearing at the end
