Where to find it: Wii virtual console. There are also some good LPs out there: LPArchive 1 ChuggaConroy
Sadly, the only way to easily get the game outside virtual console is via emulation, unless you have the SNES version or can find it cheaply. And still have your SNES. D: Square is mean and won't release it as part of the Switch online library.
What is it, in summary?: Mario's world is being overtaken by sentient weapons, leading him on a quest with a walking cloud, a wooden doll housing the spirit of a star, Bowser, and Princess Peach. It's the first RPG made for the Mario series.
What do you love about it?: The atmosphere, how it seamlessly blends the feel of a classic RPG with the Marioverse. I love the original characters introduced for it (Geno, Mallow, Johnny), and the soundtrack.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: G-rated gen or shippy fluff
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: It's best to read or watch the LPs in full to get the true experience.
