upgrades?
mario gets flowers/mushrooms/leafs and even has an inventory on mario bros 3. Almost all games have powerups of some kind.

Those are one-time use though. By upgrades I mean things that are permanent, or new skills that the character has through the rest of the game.

like the super triple jump you get at the end of mario 64, or when you buy better parts for you're car on a lot of racing games, or the upgrades you get on age of empires/starcraft/other rts's, or ....

RPG is actually a very loose term, like, it could mean Rocket Propelled Grenade, it could be the computer language that generates programs from the user's specifications, or Role Playing Game, which Wikipedia says is: "...a type of game where players assume the roles of fictional characters via role-playing. In fact, many non-athletic games involve some aspect of role-playing; however, role-playing games tend to focus on this aspect of behaviour."
And I like that definition...

Yes, but in Halo you take on the role of Master Chief, and that's not an rpg. In Metal Gear series you play the role of Snake, and that's not an rpg either. You get the idea.

Well technically you could call them RPG's for the reason you specified.

Then maybe an RPG is a game where you can choose your own name and can largely choose how the plot revolves?

Lol, this would mean that TVF and Reign of Legends are not RPGs, since you cannot name your characters :) .

Actually "Omnimaga: Your Calculator RPGs Headquarter" doesn't mean that games here are pure RPGs. There is actually small chances that I add Enders Game and Harvest Moon, just not Mario, Gemini and Lotus Turbo challenge :)

Actually, I'd call Harvest Moon an rpg.

Actually I wouldn't call games like Harvest Moon (and Animal Crossing, Sims, etc) RPG's. I would call them life-simulator. ... On the other hand, RPG's are also simulations in a certain way
