Mario and Crew Lend Their Costumes to Story of Seasons

You can pet dogs. Early GOTY contender?

By Seth G. Macy

The newest game in the Story of Seasons series, Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns, features Super Mario Bros. themed costumes and headgear.

The costumes and headgear give your characters bonuses. Donning Mario's signature hat and overalls gives you a boost to your running, while dressing like Luigi helps you catch better fish. Toad's outfit will increase your stamina for tilling the fields, while Peach's pink dress and tiara make you into a better, nicer friend.

You can also pet dogs. Just stop what you're doing, and pet a dog, and go about your day with the warm glow that hangs about your soul after interacting with a nice dog.

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns is the second game in the series under the "Story of Seasons" title. Previously, the game was known as Harvest Moon, and that series helped lay the groundwork for games like Stardew Valley.

The previous game released in 2015. We really liked it in spite of its slow beginning, giving it an 8.4 in our Story of Seasons review.

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns releases in North America February 28. Pre-ordering the physical game at certain retailers entitles you to a plushie of "capybara mascot Capy-san."
