Super Mario RPG Secrets

Mushroom Kingdom

• Right when you go into Mushroom Kingdom, you'll see a house on your left. Try to go around it and you'll find someone hiding behind the house. Talk to him occasionally, you'll find his advice helpful.

• Go to Toadstool's room and look for an item on the right side of the fire place. You'll be able to find "Toadstool's ???". (Hmm... I wonder what it could be.) Anyway, if Toadstool is not in your party yet, her grandma will give you a mushroom and ask you to leave everything alone. If Toadstool is in your party, then she will say, "Stop peeking into other people's room!"

• Go to the inn after you have rescued Toadstool and talk to the boy at the corner. You will be able to buy his GameBoy for $500.

• Don't talk to the guy who lost his wallet right after you get back to Mushroom Kingdom. If you come back later in the game, he'll upgrade the thing he finds in your wallet. I tried this after I beat Star Hill, and I got a Flower Jar instead of a Frog Coin. I guess that if you wait until practicaly forever, you could get something like a KeroKero Cola.

Kero Sewers

• In the first screen with rats running up and down the stairs go to the top where there is an "L" shaped stack of boxes jump in the middle of the stack there is a hole. If you jump in the hole you can get a flower point.

Tadpole Pond

• There is a Juice Bar on the left. You'll need a membership card to buy some better items. You can get the Alto Card from Toadafsky at Melody Bay if you play him Frogfucius' suite #18 (So La Mi Re Do Re Do Re).

Rose Town

• If you play with Gaz, from then on you will be able to stay at the inn for free!

• If you stay overnight at the inn, you will be able to see Link (from Zelda) in the next morning.

• There is a Gardener in the town. (In order to find him, you'll first have to talk to the mouse in Mostro Town.) When you give him the Seed and the Fertilizer, you will get two Lazy Shells (one weapon and one armor). The weapon is extremely powerful! The armor is also very powerful, but it decreases your attack power by a lot.

• There is a guy that tells you the location of the secret treasure in the maze. He tells you "Left, left, straight and right." Remember that the directions are relative to Mario, not to the screen.

• When you go to Rose Town for the first time, DON'T talk to the guy walking by his house. Just stand on his head, jump and steal his Treasure boxes, Go up a floor and get the hidden box over the bed, and get out of there without thinking about a switch. After you go left, left, forward, and right, and beat the Forest Maze, go to the house, and hit the switch. Then tell the truth and confess. He'll then give you a Frog Coin.

Moleville

• Check the item shop occasionally and talk to the person on the left. He sometimes has a few powerful weapons to sell, such as the Frying Pan for Toadstool.

• You can buy a Firework for $500 from a person in the house located at the top left corner. After you get the Firework, get out of the house and you'll be able to see a little girl on the right side of the house. Give her the Firework and she will give you a Shiny Stone in return. Go to the item shop and talk to the person behind the counter. He will trade your Shiny Stone with a Carbo Cookie. Go to the very left of the town and talk to the girl. She will give you a Frog Coin for every TWO Carbo Cookies you give her (What a rip off!!). And if you get on her seat and press down, you'll be teleported to Midas River. Note: You might want to keep the Shiny Stone, since you can use it to open a door in Mostro Town.

• Go back to Melody Bay and play the Moleville Blues (Mi Do So Do Re La Ti Do) to Toadafsky. He will give you a better membership card, the Tenor Card, for the Juice Bar.

Booster Tower

• A clown (Knife Guy) will give you a Bright Card, the membership card to the Casino, if you beat him 12 times.

• There is a Teeter Totter with a bomb on one side. Jump on the Teeter Totter from the ledge high above and you'll be able to get the Masher (a powerful weapon for Mario). This is not easy and may take some time.

• When you're in Booster Tower, you CAN fight Booster. When you are hiding behind the curtain, purposely let Booster and his Snifits find you. After three times, he will make you fight him. When you fight him, You will take on all three Snifits first. Attack using Mario, Mallow, and Bowser. Have Mario and Bowser do regular attacks, and have Mallow use his Thunderbolt. After you defeat the Snifits, you will fight Booster. Have Mario, Bowser, and Mallow use regular attacks. In case your wondering about what Booster says when you use Mallow's psychopath, Booster says, "This is like going outside without any clothes on." Booster has 800 HP. This is no big fight, because he can't attack. If you fight him you will get 22 exp., 145 coins, and a Flower Box! This is much more valuable than that dinky Amulet.

Marrymore

• There is an old guy on the first floor of the inn. Talk to him and he will offer you $100 dollars for your Bright Card. If you say no, he will then offer you 5 Frog Coins for it. And if you say no again, he'll finally offer you 10 Frog Coins for the card. You might want to sell the card to him after you have seen the casino. But once you sell it to him, you will have to pay him 15 Frog Coins to get the card back.

• If you have the money to spend, stay in the suite three times and you will get a Flower Jar in return. After the third time, you will get a Frog Coin about every four times you stay at the suite.

• While you are a bell hop in Marrymore(you know when you stay in the suite alot of times after your first night.) you can't save because he says something about not getting any breaks, but there is a way, jump on the mushroom lady on the right wall and run-jump onto the save point. If you reset it right after that and you'll see your customer by the counter then disapear and come down the stairs. Don't talk to them or the game will freeze. Mario will stand as if he was going to take them up their room but won't go. (note the customer disapearing and the freeze may only happen when the Mushroom couple are the cusomers)

The Sunken Ship

• In case you are having trouble, the password is "PEARLS".

• In the Sunken Ship, when you get to the room with about five frog coins, go into the next room, go under and kill all the fish. Some are really nice, and give you Royal Syrups!

Seaside Town

• I have one little tip for Yardovich. When he does his mirage attack, when you select your attack or your special attacks, the first character the little pointer comes on is the real one.

Casino

• Throughout the game, you will only be able to find two main clues about the casino. One of them tells you the location, and the other one tells you how to get in. Here is the way to get in: First, you must have the Bright Card (refer back to Booster Tower). Then, go to Bean Valley and go all the way until you see the save point at the end. Now wait for the monster to water the top plant and defeat the flower. Then go into the pipe and defaet Chomp Chomp. You will then see a hidden path after you jump three times at the corner.

• To get the Star Egg You have to beat Grate Guy at the Look Away Game 100 times. To play it, keep talking to him until he lets you play.

Monstro Town

• Fight Jinx three times and he will give you the Jinx Belt.

• There is a bed in one of the rooms. Take a nap and three ghosts will appear. They will ask you to find the three flags that they have hidden throughout the world. Here are the locations of the flags:

-Mario's bed at Mario's Pad.

-The wooden flower in Rose Town. The flower is right at the entrance.

-On the goal line at Yo'ster Isle. Check between the letters "O" and "A" of the word "GOAL".

• There is a key in the town. You should be able to see it; but you could never reach it. Go into the room next to the item shop and talk to the monster that says "Don't you dig these vibes?". After talking to it about five times, the key will drop on the ground. Take the key back to Belome Temple and find Belome. He will ask you to give him the key. In return, you will be given some treasures.

• There is a sealed door located next to the item shop. You can open it with the Shiny Stone that you got earlier in Moleville. Defeat the monster (Culex) and it will give you the Quartz Charm.

• This is the best way to beat Culex without being leveled up real high. First you equip the Princess with the Lazy Shell and the Safety Pin. (This will prevent her from all attacks, even fatal attacks!) When you go into battle, have Mario, Bowser, and obviously, the Princess. Have Mario and Bowser fight for all they're worth. The Princess should give group hugs. Once Mario and Bowser are left without HP, DO NOT BRING THEM BACK! It will be very hard for Culex to kill the Princess, because she has such bulky defense. Have the Princess just attack Culex, and use her therapy spell. After a while, the enemies start losing their FP. When two or more Monsters are out of FP, Bring Bowser and Mario back. Then attack Culex's butt off! This plan will help you get past everybody, even Smithy.

• Go to the second floor of the first room on the left. Talk to the star and try to remember the song (La Ti Do Re So Do Re Mi) that it dances with. Go back to Melody Bay and play the song to Toadafsky. He will give you another membership card, the Soprano Card .

Nimbus Land

• Walk all the way to the farthest right of the land. Now press down and after less than two seconds, you will see Mario walking in the air. Talk to the monster Shy Away and it will give you the Fertilizer.

Bowser's Keep

• In the puzzle room one for the triathalon thing, the person who says, "I out rode blank on my bike, and blank was never able to pass me!" is the one that always finshes first. The person that finshes second is the one that says, "I fell into 4th place during the bike race, but finally ended up in the same place as I did in the swimming event." The third place person would say, "I placed the same in the swimming and cycling events, but 2 others beat me in the marathon." And the last place would say, "I came in 3rd for swimming..."

Miscellaneous

• When you're on the menu screen, push the R & L buttons + a direction, and watch what happens. You can do this whenever you want. I'm not gonna tell you what happens though.

• After you get the Princess, save the game after you talk to the Chancelor, Frofucious, and everybody else, save it. Then play like you normally would, starting from Star Hill. Go all the way to the end of the Volcano, but you must promise me one thing. DON'T SAVE IT! If you get up to the end of the volcano, and win, go to Culex and beat him. he offers a whopping 200 something Exp. points. Then go to Bowser's Keep, face Smithy in the Factory, and lose on purpose. You'll start at wherever you saved, whenever you saved, but you STILL have the Exp. you had when you died.
