Is it still worth playing?
Square's 1996 role playing game for the Super NES, produced by Shigeru Miyamoto with music by Yoko Shimomura. It was the first Mario role playing game and the first Mario game in an isometric 3D environment. Exploration plays like an isometric 3D platformer with question blocks, and there are no random encounters, as enemies are visible on the field. Battles are turn based with three active characters, Mario plus two, growing to five overall, and timed button presses on attacks, defense and items boost their effect. On level up you choose one of three stat upgrades. A remake for the Switch followed in 2023 with 3D graphics. Visible enemies and timed button presses keep you acting in every turn, which is the reason to play it now.
