Game Description:
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is a Japanese-style role-playing game for the Super Nintendo.

The goal of the game is to confront Smithy and repair the Star Road, which has been broken, and thus unable to grant wishes to people. Teaming up with Mallow, Geno, Bowser, and Peach, the heroes go on the long adventure to collect the 7 star pieces, and repair the Star Road.
Hack Description:
"A relative of the Booster family, named Jean, has taken his father's tower after his passing. Jean and his Snifits prepare as Mario enters his tower. Little does Mario realise, a queen named Silver is plotting domination over Mario's world. Jean attempts to hide the plan but his Snifits reveal it out loud. In boredom, they order an XL Pizza, but lose the phone number to call it again. Meanwhile in Moleville, Silver assembles a squad of minions to take over the world. Her powers are weak... but, she is gathering strength to prepare for what seems like domination. Mario obtains an item called the Wonder Stone which allow him to access Silver's hometown, 15 years ago. On his way to her lair, he encounters a mysterious person called Dark Doom. Dark Doom happens to be a retired fighting instructor, who taught kids to defend themselves. Mario takes him on and gets transported to "Hometown". Put in the memories of Silver's past, Mario finds that she was abused her whole life and fights off a squadron of Koopas as Silver. He also finds "Nightmare" and fights off the evil side of her. Mario meets one of Silver's friends, Damon. He is being trained by Doom to help with fighting. Eventually, Mario finds Silver in the door of the Wonder Stone and finishes off the queen. Then, Jean comes in to wrap things up. Meeting again after a long time, Silver realises from Mario what it means to be a good person. Then they get together and Mario's adventure comes to a close."
