Want to know the Super Mario RPG download size? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Super Mario RPG is a remake of the seminal 1996 SNES title, modernised for the Nintendo Switch with a complete graphical overhaul and some interesting gameplay changes, according to our preview of the game.

It's been one amazing year for gaming (in terms of releases at least), and Nintendo in particular, having launched The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Wonder already. Still, Super Mario RPG is poised to close out the year with a bang for the company.

With that said, let's take a look at how much space you'll need to free for Super Mario RPG on your Nintendo Switch.

Super Mario RPG is not a massive game in terms of install size

Super Mario RPG download size - How much space do you need?

In order to download Super Mario RPG, you'll need a total of 6.4 GB of free space on your Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo is notorious for being wizards of compressing its titles, and Super Mario RPG is no different. For context, Tears of the Kingdom, a massive sprawling open world with three different sections to explore, requires 16.3 GB of free space.

While Super Mario RPG doesn't boast the same level of scale as Tears of the Kingdom or other AAA titles, it's still fairly packed in terms of content.

As we've mentioned in our preview, the game features plenty of playable characters, an intriguing story, and a tonne of side content like mini-games and smaller side quests to complete along the way.

Compared to other releases, a 6.4 GB download seems like nothing when the norm is seeing install sizes that reach above 100 GB. The most infamous case this year was Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which requires almost 150 GB of free space to download.
