He is noble and heroic in a sincere way that few other Mario characters are. Geno also gives the Mario universe a kind of character that it often lacks. His wooden body and blue clothes give him an appearance that’s distinct from every other Mario character, and yet he manages to fit in with the Mushroom Kingdom’s whimsical aesthetic. He’s like a mix between Pinocchio and a magician. He travels to the Mushroom Kingdom to help restore the Star Road and takes the form of a wooden doll that a child owns. Geno is a celestial warrior from a place called the Star Road (it’s a fun Super Mario World reference). It has turn-based combat, and you still gain experience points that you use to level up and become stronger, but you have less equipment to manage and fewer opportunities to get lost. Super Mario RPG maintains the core RPG concepts in a simpler game that my young mind could understand. I’d rented games like Final Fantasy III (which is actually Final Fantasy VI) and admired them, but they were beyond me. It came out for the Super Nintendo in 1996, back when I was only 9 years old. Super Mario RPG was an important game for me. But I’d like to see Super Mario RPG’s Geno added to Nintendo’s fighter.
And I know who I’m hoping to see finally make the cut. Ultimate, which comes out for the Switch on December 7.
Nintendo is hosting another Direct tomorrow, and we’ll likely get another character announcement for Super Smash Bros. We're thrilled to announce the return of GamesBeat Summit Next, hosted in San Francisco this October, where we will explore the theme of "Playing the Edge."
