The big thing that stands out about this area, besides the titular maze, is the new enemies we encounter. In the morning, Mario and Mallow chase after Geno into the Forest Maze, which has some of the game’s most iconic music. I loved this scene because I so desperately wanted to catch up to Geno immediately, making the anticipation strong. While Mario’s sleeping off his concussion, a light shines down from heaven and a little star checks out the four dolls on the floor, ultimately deciding to inhabit Geno before rushing out the door. Gaz activates his rocket punch attack, which misses the other toys and sucker-punches Mario, knocking him out cold. Enter Geno, the little blue wonder and Gaz’s favorite toy. He has a Mario, Bowser, and Toadstool doll, so when you come in, he asks you to play with him. This is Gaz, and he was so cool to me as a kid because this was a Toad child that actually played with action figures. You can help a few people, namely one guy in the back corner who’ll tell you a secret (another that’s kind of underwhelming), but the real goal is to head to the inn and see a kid playing with dolls. Arrows are raining down, freezing the townshrooms in place and generally causing trouble every step of the way. This single maneuver is a lot more difficult than it sounds, and with the reward being I believe a Frog Coin, it can get frustrating fast.Įntering Rose Town, the music is nice and eerie, complimenting the town’s plight. There’s one chest that requires you to hop on a moving yellow platform, then jump to a second moving platform, and finally jump diagonally to dink the chest. While Mario can jump in any direction, he’s actually really only moving in one of the eight possible directions the D-pad allows, and this makes precision platforming a lot harder than it needs to be. Rose Way does contain a few moments that really accentuate the difficulty of platforming under the weird perspective though. Hey, one area has to be forgotten, right? There are a few of these spots in lead-ups to major encounters, but of all of them Rose Way somehow completely eluded my memory, all because it’s probably one of the most forgettable areas. Last time we headed out from Tadpole Pond and entered Rose Way, an area without any bells, whistles, or bosses. Wow, got your attention, didn't I? Good, since the exercise part is pretty much the same as always (I’m on a bike, it doesn’t go anywhere), let’s cut right to the chase and get to the session of Super Mario RPG where we meet Geno, and Mallow has to stop Mario from knocking a kid in the face for making a simple observation.
