Super Mario RPG

A remake of the classic SNES title featuring turn-based combat, exploration, and platforming elements within the Mario universe. Developed in Unity, this version features updated 3D graphics and orchestral music.

An experimental unofficial Mac port via NxNative has upstream-reported Mac testing. The test covered the opening movie, title screen, the first corridor of Bowser's Keep, and the initiation of a Terrapin battle. Further testing included loading a save at Mushroom Way to verify a battle against three Goombas in a sunlit arena. Full-game reliability is unverified as the test was intentionally short. Specific unresolved issues include the translator deleting 20 bindless accesses in 4 pixel shaders, and conservative rasterization remains unimplemented. Audio and visual smoothness have only been checked via logs and single frames rather than live observation. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26.6 or later. Not an official Mac release.
