<< GO TO PART 01

---

LAND’S END

Navigate through the desert using the whirlpools to advance, facing creatures along the way. Take the upper path for the normal route or detour to Belome Temple via another whirlpool. Use the cannons to gain momentum and defeat the confused monsters last. A secret passage leads directly to a cave beneath the bridge.

HIDDEN AND SECRET ITEMS:

• After the cannon, climb onto the moving platform and jump to the top, to the bottom to find items.
• Discover a secret passage with rewards including “Cricket Jam”.
• Before the final stairs of the level, explore the top corner of the screen.

TADPOLE POND (TADPOLE LAKE)

Give the “Cricket Jam” to Frogfucius in exchange for 10 Frog Coins. As you have already heard the musical notes on the Monstro Town star, you can now deliver the music to the composer: LÁ, SI, DO, DÉ, SO, DO, DÉ, MI.

MONSTER TOWN

Interact with locals for valuable tips and secrets. Find companions, learn the third musical sequence, and unlock information about remaining chests. The key and special challenges, including meeting the powerful Culex, await in Monstro Town.

BATTLE AGAINST CULEX

Prepare yourself with recovery and performance-enhancing items to face Culex and his crystals. Defeating Sensei Jinx in the dojo offers valuable rewards.

At the accommodation, face a challenge with ghosts involving the search for three flags.

BATTLE AGAINST JINX

To face Jinx, the diminutive warrior, direct attacks and Mario’s striking jumps are essential. Keep your characters’ energy levels high and equip them with items that protect against fatal blows.

BELOME TEMPLE

To be able to get all the secrets of this phase. First you need to get the key, there in Monstro Town.

You’ll find three enigmatic statues, and the order in which you activate the central chests influences future events in the level.

The chests, from left to right, release:

First: food,
Second: a confrontation,
Third: treasures.

Depending on your choice, you will face Belome after the elevator (if money is the choice) or access its treasure room (if you chose food and got the key in Monstro Town).

After passing through the large gate, climb the chest to find another hidden chest. You’ll find another chest, down the stairs, at the top of the curve.

BATTLE AGAINST BELOME

Facing Belome, use Mario’s intense jumps and basic blows from other allies. Watch when Belome captures a team member and creates a duplicate; neutralize this copy with devastating spells to triumph.

BOOSTER TOWER

Continue up the tower until you find a juggling clown. Defeat him twelve times to win a prize that unlocks access to the casino. Continue to the top to discover Booster immersed in his reflections, watching the skies.

LAND’S END

Go up using the turtles you found in Monstro Town to progress, to open the path on the map towards Beam Valley.

BEAM VALLEY

In Beam Valley, look for hidden chests and be careful with the bees that are everywhere.

When you get to the part that has five pipes, wait for the little animal to water the flower that is higher up, face it and then enter through the pipe. After that, you will go down; Defeat the enemies and jump three times in the corner on the left, at the top and you will find a secret platform. Go straight ahead and you will find the Clowns Casino.

Enter all the pipes to find valuable items.

Afterwards you will find the gardener taking care of the plant.

By killing her, you will receive a “Seed”. Go forward until you find a brick; headbutt him and climb the beanstalk. Keep looking for chests as you go up, until you reach the city of clouds, Nimbus Land.

HIDDEN ITEMS:

Right at the start, enter the pipe on the right and after you exit, look for the chest on the left.

In the part that has five circle-shaped pipes, use the one on the far right to go down and headbutt the right side, a little below the stairs, to find an item.

Still in the part that has five pipes, in the lower right pipe, jump to the left of the chest to find another chest, which is hidden.

BATTLE AGAINST THE PIRANHA PLANT

To defeat the plant, use Mario’s special jumps and with the other characters, use spells that target more than one enemy; The plant will grow in size at some point, but if you maintain the technique, it will wither and die.

CASINO

At the casino you will find three types of games: 1 – the slot machine, for small bets and quick glances; 2 – the game of hands, which is with the clown, in which it only depends on luck; and Black Jack, in which it is worth knowing the right time to leave the game and also knowing when he is bluffing. You can come here whenever you want, but be careful not to waste all your money.

NIMBUS LAND

When you arrive in the city you will see a scene between Valentina and Dodo.

Talk to the locals and then remember to go to the town store to buy important items.

Go to the house further up in the city and talk to Garro, the sculptor; he will recognize you and will help you enter the castle, creating Mariotta.

Inside the castle you will pretend to be a statue for a while; When Dodo comes to peck you, jump every time he tries, and then pick up the “Feather”, which he will leave in the other room. Note: If you don’t jump, when he tries to peck you, you will fight him and won’t get the item.

Go looking for hidden chests, until you reach a room with three doors, there, look in the two side doors for the first key to the castle; At the middle door, you will find Birdo and battle her.

BATTLE AGAINST BIRDO

You must break its shell and must not use fire magic; give preference to normal attacks. After winning, you will receive the second castle key.

After the battle, go forward and you will see a chest, which is very high up. Stay below it and jump to find a hidden platform and get the star inside.

Follow the corridor and you will find the Dodo. Battle him.

BATTLE AGAINST DODO

Against Dodo you must use normal attacks; He’s not a difficult enemy, you should beat him without any problems. When he loses, he will run away.

After the battle with Dodo, you will find him again, along with Valentina, in the other room, but they run away afterwards. Exit through the back and use the trampoline to return to the city. Now you will meet both of them again and will battle them both at the same time.

BATTLE AGAINST VALENTINA AND DODO

Start the battle by attacking the Dodo first and remember, at all times, to keep your characters with enough energy to stay alive.

At a certain point, Dodo will fly away and take Mallow with him, to fight only against him.

In the battle between Mallow and Dodo, use the little cloud’s best techniques and always be aware of your energy.

Meanwhile, Mario and the other character will be battling Valentina; use normal attacks against her, until Dodo returns to continue battling alongside Valentina. Be patient and fight the two together a little more until they run away and leave the key for you to save the king.

NIMBUS LAND

After Beating Valentina and Dodo: Mallow meets her real father, the king, who reveals the fall of a star in the volcano, and now she is in the possession of the Czar Dragon. The king also talks about Hinopio, as an ally inside the volcano.

Find Croco: In the city, talking to the residents, they will say that Crono is there, locate Croco in the house on the right. After a brief chase, he will drop the “Signal Ring”, a ring that indicates when there are hidden chests in the location.

Secret Passage: Explore the right side of the city, pushing past the edges to discover a hidden path. Here, you will get the “Fertilizer” from the flying critter.

ROSE TOWN

Returning to Rose Town, you will notice a new entrance at the back of Rose Town. Going there, an eccentric gardener awaits. Give him the “Seed” and “Fertilizer”, and he will grow a giant beanstalk.

Climb the Beanstalk: Climbing this magical plant, Mario will find valuable items at the top: the best weapon for him and an exclusive piece of clothing.

NIMBUS LAND

Encounter with the Soldiers: Back in Nimbus Land, look for two soldiers among the clouds and talk to them to open a new path.

Royal Bus: For now, the “Royal Bus” is still undergoing repairs, limiting its progress to the volcano stage.

BARREL VOLCANO

1. Energy Renewal in Hot Springs: Initially, upon entering Barrel Volcano, you will find hot water points. These locations are essential for restoring your characters’ energy at no cost. Take advantage of this regeneration before proceeding.
2. Exploration and Chests: As you make your way down the volcano, keep your eyes peeled for the many chests hidden throughout the area. One of them contains a little star that allows you to automatically defeat enemies for a short period, making your journey much easier.
3. Platforms: The path is full of platforms that you must use to advance. These platforms help you avoid contact with the lava, protecting your character from unnecessary damage.
4. Find Hinopio: Further ahead you will find Hinopio and its convenience store. Here, you can purchase items and weapons, as well as rest to fully restore your party’s health. Don’t miss the miniatures of the F-ZERO ships displayed on the shelf, a fun detail for fans.
5. Confrontation with Czar Dragon: After passing through Hinopio’s store, you will come across Czar Dragon, the guardian of the fallen star in this volcano. Get ready for challenging combat. Use diverse strategies, taking advantage of the dragon’s weaknesses to maximize your damage. Remember to have healing items in your luggage to keep your team healthy during battle.

Additional Tips:

• Before facing Czar Dragon, make sure your team is well equipped and adequately leveled for combat.
• Analyze Czar Dragon’s attack patterns to effectively dodge or block his most powerful offensives.
• Consider using special spells or abilities that could negatively affect Czar Dragon, decreasing its effectiveness or increasing vulnerability.

BATTLE AGAINST CZAR DRAGON

• Combat Strategy: Start combat using water and wind spells, as fire attacks are ineffective against the Tsar Dragon. He will be assisted by Helios, small creatures that attack together. Use area spells to eliminate them quickly.
• Mario Attacks: Focus Mario’s physical attacks on Czar Dragon. When the dragon “dies” and resurfaces, keep the same tactic.
• Finishing: After defeating him, you hope to gain the sixth star, but the Axem Rangers intercept.

General Tips:

• Keep a healthy supply of healing and reviving items to withstand the wear and tear of battle.
• Pay attention to enemies’ attack patterns to plan your defenses and counterattacks accordingly.
• Don’t underestimate the Axem Rangers; each one has unique abilities that can surprise.

BATTLE AGAINST AXEM RANGERS

• Initial Strategy: Attack the Axem Rangers with powerful spells and targeted physical attacks. Fire spells are less effective due to their volcanic residence.
• Facing Red: As you defeat each Ranger, they will leave the battle, leaving the red leader last. He’ll try a last resort by summoning a robot head, but stick with your strategy.
• Achievement: By beating them all, you finally secure the sixth star .

NIMBUS LAND

Return to the King: Return to the king of Nimbus Land, where Mallow finally finds his true home.

Royal Bus: The royal bus, previously out of service, is now repaired and ready for use. This special bus is the key to reaching Bowser’s Castle. Use the royal bus to travel to Bowser’s castle, which is now under the control of the villain Smithy.

BOWSER’S KEEP

When you return to Bowser’s Castle, now as an advanced stage of the game, prepare for stronger enemies and new challenges. The structure of the castle has changed, presenting new obstacles.

The Six Doors: You will find six doors that offer different challenges and games. Each door hides a unique adventure, so choose wisely. You will need strategy and skill to overcome the obstacles that each presents.

BATTLE AGAINST MAGIKOOPA

Magikoopa, now a traitor, faces you in a decisive battle. Physical attacks are most effective against him, so focus on direct hits rather than spells.

After defeating him, Magikoopa will reveal a chest that grants infinite money and the ability to renew your strength unlimitedly.

Path After Magikoopa:

• Croco’s Shop: The door on the left leads to Croco’s shop, where you can buy items and equipment.
• Advancing the Game: The door on the right continues your journey through the castle. As you navigate beneath the boulders, you’ll come to a confrontation with Boomer, situated above the chandeliers.

General Tips:

• Before entering the doors, make sure your characters are well equipped and have the appropriate levels to face the challenges.
• Stock up on healing and reviving items to sustain your team during the challenging battles they will encounter inside the castle.
• Take advantage of the opportunity to renew your strength and accumulate resources with the chest granted by Magikoopa. This can be crucial to success in the final stages of the game.

BATTLE AGAINST BOOMER

Spells against Red Boomer: When Boomer is red, use powerful spells against him. This will cause more damage.

Physical attacks against Blue Boomer: If Boomer turns blue, prioritize direct physical attacks.

After defeating Boomer: The buff, Chandelle-ho, will take him upstairs, preparing for the final confrontation against Smithy.

BATTLE AGAINST SMITHY

Combat Strategy: Smithy attacks with magic cast from his mouth and eyes. Focus on destroying the eyes first to efficiently attack the “forehead” of the sword.

Task Distribution: Mario must focus his attacks on Smithy’s forehead, while the other characters take care of the eyes and mouth.

Techniques and Attacks: Use your best skills and techniques. Opt for attacks that can hit multiple targets simultaneously.

Victory and Access to the Gate: Defeating Smithy opens the way to the “Gate”, which is the entrance to the last phase of the game, the Factory.

GATE

The Gate is not a real level, but rather the portal that leads to the Factory, the final level of the game. Get ready for the last challenge!

FACTORY

You begin your Factory adventure from the mouth of the giant sword, falling directly into the domain of the real Smithy.

Move cautiously through the area, investigating every corner, including the chasms. If you find suspicious holes, explore them, as they may lead to valuable secrets or shortcuts; at a certain point you will find the Alarm Clock; battle him!

BATTLE AGAINST THE CLOCK

Strategy: When finding the alarm clock, prioritize destroying the bells on its top before focusing on the main body of the clock.

Pay attention to the time: The clock has different attacks that depend on the time shown, so be prepared for changes in strategy.

After “Recover”: As soon as the clock uses its recovery ability, intensify your normal attacks to finish it quickly. This enemy has powerful attacks, so keep your health checked.

FACTORY (CONTINUED)

Discovering Secrets: Continue your exploration in search of hidden items and additional challenges. You will encounter petrified masters who, when defeated, can reveal new paths.

Facing Double Bosses: Eventually, you’ll come across a block of bricks with an enemy jumping on top. Defeat him to unlock the passage that leads to a battle against two bosses simultaneously.

Final Tips:

• Preparation: Before engaging in larger confrontations, ensure your characters are equipped with the best items and abilities available.
• Healing Items: Have a good stock of healing and reviving items, as the final challenges will require everything you have.
• Strategy: Adapt your strategies depending on the enemies you face. Each boss has its weaknesses and attack patterns that you can exploit to win.

BATTLE AGAINST DOMINO AND CLOAKER

Domino is the enemy who is hooded. Focus on direct physical attacks against him, as he is more vulnerable to normal attacks. Cloaker is the enemy with the sword. Against him, use spells, as he is more susceptible to this type of attack.

ATTENTION: During the battle against them, you must choose one of the two and focus your attacks only on him, because, after he is defeated, the other will ride on a large snake and stay behind it. From there you must attack the snake with normal blows, until it disappears, thus eliminating the remaining master.

FACTORY (FOLLOWING THE ASSEMBLY LINE)

After blasting Domino, Cloaker and Cobra, head to the factory assembly line, and your new opponents are the factory employees: Clerk, Manager, Director and, finally, Factory Chief.

BATTLE AGAINST FACTORY CHIEF AND GUNYOLK

Strategy: Eliminate the Factory Chief first, leaving Gunyolk for last. They are not difficult to detonate, especially if you have Pricesa Peach and she is equipped with the Lazy Shell armor. Peach is crucial for its ability to resist heavy attacks, and can also use “Mute” to prevent Gunyolk from executing special attacks. It is recommended to use “Geno Boost” on Mario to increase his performance in physical attacks against Gunyolk and his partner. “Geno Flash” is effective for inflicting damage to both opponents simultaneously, but avoid fire-based attacks as Gunyolk is resistant to them. Remember to attack him first, and leave the machine for last.

Characters: Mario, Geno and Bowser must focus on physical attacks, while Mallow and Toadstool focus on healing and supporting the team with blows. I recommend you use Princess Peach in this battle!

Preparation: It is essential to have healing and reviving items ready to use.

After winning the battle, you will face the final boss. Get ready because Smithy is strong, with a lot of energy, full of magic and powerful attacks; in addition to having several faces.

BATTLE AGAINST SMITHY

The final battle of Super Mario RPG, against Smithy, is divided into two parts; Stay tuned and follow this guide to do well:

First phase:

• Peach’s Role : She is essential due to her healing ability, vital against Smithy’s area attacks.
• Attack Strategy : Use physical movements with Mario to save Peach’s Flower Points for healing. Geno Boost is recommended to increase attack and defense.
• Shypers and Smelter : Smithy will create Shypers using Smelter. You can choose to destroy the furnace to avoid more Shypers or focus on attacking Smithy directly to speed up the end of this first phase.
• Transition : After taking enough damage, Smithy will destroy the floor; from there, he will begin the second phase of the battle.

Second level:

Smithy Transformation: He reveals his true power by changing the shape of his head, each of the heads has its own energy and different vulnerabilities to the Lazy Shell.

Lazy Shell: Use it as it has significant utility and can make all the difference. Keep Geno Boost active and use Peach’s healing spells, as well as offensive items like Rock Candy.

Head Strategy: Each head has its own health bar. The tank’s head is particularly dangerous, being able to knock out Peach. Be prepared with Pick Me Ups and healing items. The Mage head inflicts significant magical damage to the party, despite being less resistant than the Tank form. The Coffin form has high defense, but its attacks are less powerful. The Treasure Chest’s head is the most vulnerable, indicating that Smithy is close to defeat. Damaging Smithy’s body until it depletes its energy temporarily limits its attacks, giving it a strategic advantage.

Finishing: Upon defeating all the heads, Smithy is finally defeated with an explosion, releasing the seventh Star Piece.

Additional Tips :

• Keep your characters with high energy and defense.
• Stock up on healing and reviving items.
• Focus on one Smithy head at a time to maximize its effectiveness.

By beating Smithy, you complete Super Mario RPG, saving the Mushroom Kingdom and restoring Star Road.

You have finished Super Mario RPG. Congratulations on the achievement!
