* CreatorDrivenSuccessor: The ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' and ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' series are this for this game. The first game of the former series was initially conceived as a sequel to this game before becoming its own thing and was even known as ''Super Mario RPG 2'' early in development, while the latter was developed by [[Creator/AlphaDream a company]] founded by former Square employees that worked on ''Super Mario RPG'' (including both directors, who worked in said series as well) and shares [[Creator/YokoShimomura its composer]] with this game. Perhaps deliberately, the Nintendo Switch 3D remake will come out the same day as the [[MilestoneCelebration 20th anniversary]] of ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'''s original release.

* RemadeForTheExport: Some Asian countries like South Korea and China never saw a release of the SNES version or a re-release on the Virtual Console. The remake will be the first time it's ever seen a release in these countries, with new translations to boot.

* StudioHop: The 1996 game was originally developed by Square. For the remake, development was handled by [=ArtePiazza=].

* ContentLeak: The ROM of the remake managed to leak its way onto the Internet a week before the official release. This led to many [=YouTubers=] Let's Playing and reviewing it, as well as [[spoiler: Culex's 3D form.]]

* HeAlsoDid: Prior to this game, Yoko Shimomoura had worked on the soundtracks for ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' and ''VideoGame/BreathOfFire''. She would later go on to work on the ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'' series, the ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' series, and ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1''

* SelfRemake: In a sense; Creator/YokoShimomura confirmed herself that she is returning to compose the soundtrack for the remake, just like she did for the remakes in the ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' series.

* TeasingCreator: When the remake was announced, fans had wondered what Culex would look like in the remake. During the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, there's a brief moment of Mario using the Shiny Stone to unlock Culex's door, but Culex himself isn't seen. That said, he was shown in some promotional material later.

* DummiedOut: A number of enemies exist in the coding that never actually spawn in-game. Many of them have equally unused Psychopath thoughts, and a few even utilize unused attacks. The majority of them are PaletteSwaps of already existing enemies. The most interesting of these is probably the Drill Bit, a red variant of the Jabit enemy that appears in Smithy's factory. This enemy technically ''does'' appear in game, but only in the overworld during a cutscene. In addition, the Machine Made version of Yaridovich has an attack called "Multiply!", where he splits into four Machine Made versions of this enemy. It is also mentioned in both the Japanese and English strategy guides with the Japanese one placing it in between the fake Yaridovich and the second Belome BossBattle while the English one has it in world 5. The real Drill Bit, however, remains unfought.

* PropRecycling: The sprites for Culex and the elemental crystals are pulled straight from the original without any alternations. This further cements the ArtStyleClash between him and the three-dimensional characters.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: American television commercials, Nintendo Power's first walkthrough article and the magazine ads for the game referred to the sword that embedded itself in Bowser's Keep as "Smithy the Sword." The sword's name is Exor, while Smithy is a completely different character. [[spoiler:Subverted, though, because Exor isn't revealed to ''not'' be Smithy until you fight him near the end of the game.]] In addition, the magazine ads hinted at a subplot involving Geno becoming a "[[BecomeARealBoy real boy]]".

* TheWikiRule: The ''Mario'' Wiki as always, but the ''Final Fantasy'' Wiki [[https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Mario_RPG:_Legend_of_the_Seven_Stars has an article for it]] because of how heavily similar the game is to ''Final Fantasy'' due to being developed by Square Enix.

* UrbanLegendOfZelda:
** For years, rumors persisted that there's an ActionCommand to time item freebies by pressing the X button at the right time. This is false: your chance of getting a free item is a random chance, which is 26% for most items and 13% for powerful items like Red Essence and Pure Water. Whether or not you get a freebie is also determined before you even use the item. [[note]]You CAN manipulate freebie chance by manipulating the UsefulNotes/RandomNumberGenerator, but that process is way more complicated than hitting one button.[[/note]]
** Peach's "???" found behind her fireplace is said to be "Peach's XXX" in the original Japanese, leading Americans to believe that in the original, it was more explicit in japan that Peach had a hidden porn stash. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUVWRnjwM60 As this video explains]] this isn't really the case. In Japan the "XXX" is supposed to represent the same thing the "???" does in America, meaning it's not clear what it is.
