For me, that game is Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Super Mario RPG was released for the SNES in 1996 and is by far the SNES game I adore more then any other. What game allows you to play Princess Peach and use a Frying Pan as a weapon? None.
The game features a wide mix of playable characters (Mario, Princess Toadstool and Bowser) including two game specific characters Mallow and Geno. Mallow is an adorable cloud healer, who believes himself to be a tadpole, Geno is a lovable spirit animating a little child's toy doll.
Like all Mario games, the storyline is simple but all together enjoyable. The combat system is turn based and easy to pick up, and as mentioned above, you get to wield a kick-ass Frying Pan (amid a host of other weapons). All-in-all, Super Mario RPG is an awesome game and a treat for any casual gamer.
In 2008, Nintendo released Super Mario RPG on the Wii's virtual console, which has allowed me to relive my love for this game. I think I might just play through it this weekend. Wish me luck in my quest for the Seven Stars!
