Super Mario RPG Version 1.0.1 Released, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Paratroopa and the numbered doors were the only issues I was even aware of, and thankfully didn't encounter either myself. Good to see them pretty on the ball with fixing stuff like this in either case.

It's good that these issues were fixed, but it's still a little bit alarming that there was this much to fix.

How bout they fix the glitch that makes getting 100 jumps friggin impossible? 😡 I got to 88 jumps and just couldn't do it. I've tried everything suggested by various people on YouTube and still can't do it. To heck with it! Good thing the lazy shell equipment is really all you need.

@BrazillianCara : It really is. To think that all of my DS/Wii games (minus Skyward Sword, and Animal Crossing Wii had to be replaced in Australia) have had no updates whatsoever.

The fact that publishers no longer need to worry about physically recalling their games anymore has made them frustratingly complacent.

Keep in mind that this is a remake of an SNES game. What would have happened if the original had shipped with these bugs? Do they not test games anymore?

They need to fix Valentina's non-jiggly boobs, those are not suppose to be stiff Nintendo. Even the original NA version got it right.

I like how most of these bugs is because Mario remains surprised by it all. Like brother got flabberghasted so hard it softlocked the game.

@Truegamer79 Keep trying man, you’ll get there. The only thing I have left to do in the game is get all 100 possible coins on Midas River, which I am hating. One thing that they should have patched in is the ability to restart a minigame, rather than have to leave the area entirely, reselect that area on the world map, and then go through the whole process of beginning the minigame again, only to be asked if you want the rules read to you for the billionth time…

@Crono1973 The original had all kinds of glitches though? Mallow could come back from the dead then stand there uselessly forever in the second Croco fight, Mack could be skipped, there was Geno Whirl working on Exor, the game could crash if you killed a certain enemy with a star, you could get completely locked out of being able to jump at Yo'ster's Isle, there were a multitude of visual issues...

Games have always had glitches, if anything be thankful that nowadays it's practical to fix them.

I will get this one for Christmas, together with Mario sparks of hope. Played that game recently, man wish i got it sooner, addicted to that gameplay.

Patches for old games were absolutely a thing, on console they were usually done through later re-issues, or if egregious enough, through recalling the initial run and sending out fixed versions.

On PC, patches and extra content were often distributed on demo discs available from magazines and such.

It was entirely possible for fixes and new content to completely pass you by.

I only ran into lag issues, mainly with the village areas. I really hope they'll fix the performance but I doubt it...it is Unity after all. >_>

I've been wandering between Monstro Town and Lands End so many times without a single clue what I'm supposed to be doing next. Didn't realise it was a glitch. Glad this patch is here now

I was hoping for a framerate boost to make it smooth.

I only ran into the numbered doors issue on my second run through the dungeon, momentary panic they'd changed it so you could only ever select four of the doors.

Frame rate improvements would be nice but probably not happening. Beautiful as the graphics are in the remake that issue during some battles was a huge let down considering the original never chugged. It also dulls some of the jokes like the Rose Town Gardener talking super fast, his text barely scrolls faster than usual in the remake.

A less candy coated difficulty would be nice too considering how many new features made the game even easier. The extra battles don't make up for it, they're way too gimmicky.

@Serpenterror Riiiiiiight

The patch still hasn’t fixed it for me, the work around doesn’t work either

@Truegamer79 Try it in handheld mode, maybe it's a lag issue on your TV?

@Bret
You might be on to something! I did notice that one time i got to 88 jumps i was playing in handheld mode. Never got that high on docked mode.

@Truegamer79 I managed to get it just fine, and I was playing on the TV. I kept the volume all the way down because I didn't want the music to throw me off, audio cues be damned! But if I had to suggest anything, try playing in tabletop mode instead of handheld, with the Joy-Con separated so that you can minimize the screen shaking as much as possible. Better yet, just to make sure that absolutely nothing, not even wireless induced input delay can cause you to mess up, keep the joy cons attached to the system while playing in tabletop mode, and hold the system against a flat surface.

Can you make it easier to get 100 jumps? Been trying for a month.

I’m glad these issues were resolved. I 100% the game a short ways back and luckily for me, I never experienced any of the glitches. The curse of complacency with teams has veered its head in many cases (Cyberpunk?) but luckily, the patch ability means, even after something is complete, the teams behind the games can still fix them. They can add new content, they can polish games up whenever and wherever possible, I mean, we’re very lucky to be able to experience this in our gaming lifetime. Remember, there was a time we had to rent a game and try it or read a review and if the game was messy or buggy, that was it. Game was dead and gone. Imagine if we could’ve patched all those 8-bit & 16-bit era cash grabs. Something tells me that some of those games would’ve actually been really enjoyable instead of the mythological turds they have come known to be. Or games we loved back then got a little graphic, sound or frame rate boost? Additional content added? Like….we truly are lucky when you think about it!

@JohnnyWarbux growing up in that era myself. I truly appreciate this perspective! Of course it’s not great when publishers rush unfinished games, but in the bright side— they most always fix them.
