50 free Super Mario RPG trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars arrived in 1996 as an unlikely experiment: a Mario adventure with turn-based battles, a talking cast and a sense of humor all its own. It sent Mario, Mallow, Geno, Bowser and Princess Toadstool after seven Star Pieces and a gang of living weapons. This quiz covers the whole journey: the story and its bosses, from Belome to Exor and Smithy, the party's moves and gear, the races on Yo'ster Isle and other minigames, hidden bosses and secrets, and how the game was made and later remade in 2023. It is written for anyone who has finished the original or the remake, with easier questions up front and a few deep cuts for players who know every corner of the map.
