Full disclosure: as someone born in the 1980s and raised in the 90s, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is already one of my all-time favorites. The Super Nintendo game drew me into lifelong video game fandom, and I played its opening sequence so many times it's burned into my brain.
Where else could you use Mario's jumps, punches and fireballs to win turn-based battles against Koopas and Goombas, all the way up to Final Fantasy-style bosses? Where else could you see him team up with a possessed wooden doll, a walking cloud boy, and even his nemesis Bowser to dethrone a gang of sentient weapons?
