Does Super Mario RPG still hold up?

I actually had already put it on the hardest setting (which is just "normal"). Funny to see that there's an even easier mode, because it's hard to imagine how much easier it could have been.
Okay, since you've been around the block a few times, I have to ask: when do you run into Samus? I did back in the day, but I couldn't find her this time.
Also, although I probably won't go back to it, how do you beat the bomb boss after completing the game? I noticed that the bombs sometimes spun around and turned on their master, but I couldn't figure out how to trigger it (I only made one attempt, in my defense).
And Booster. What the fuck! How do you stop him from running a train on you? I believe I tried a sleep spell and it didn't work. His move doesn't seem particularly magical, but maybe mute would have done something? There's some way to keep distracting him, but to my recollection, even focusing all your hits on him only holds him off for a round or two.
I did stumble across the Final Fantasy boss. I was pleasantly surprised that the 500 coin gemstone paid off. I probably wouldn't have bothered with buying it but the game is very generous with coinage (another way they updated the game to make it a cakewalk). Anyway, this phrasing:
Makes me think he wasn't an actual FF boss they brought in...? I just assumed he was an existing antagonist that they threw in as an easter egg. Is he just a caricature of one? Is he difficult to defeat? That was another hanging thread I meant to go back and snip up. I was gonna bone up on the frog coin items (I can't remember their names, but they were the items that enhance your defense, attack, etc), but that was around the time I got annoyed at Booster and Bomb boss, and my attention wavered.
