I thoroughly enjoyed it, but as someone who playtested the upcoming retranslation and compared it with the official version: the original translation is one of the aspects that arguably aged the least gracefully.

Not him but Legends of Localization (by Tomato of Mother 3 fame) did a whole piece on Final Fantasy VI over how overrated the SNES and came to the conclusion that the GBA translation is overall much more coherent. These days if you insist on playing SNES you should really have it patched with the hairy_hen retranslation, which is based heavily based on Mato's findings. Secret of Mana was also cut considerably from the Japanese script in order, which is one of the few things the remake attempted to rectify (albeit heavily leaning on the existing, truncated Woolsey script rather than retranslating from scratch). Don't know too much about Super Mario RPG's localization but a retranslation did start a while back and it seems like there was typical NoA censorship, but I think the project's on hold.

As someone in the know, a relocalization effort is indeed in development.
