Welcome to the World of Super Mario RPG!
Luigi: Hi! How's it going?
It looks like Mario is getting ready for another adventure. He
doesn't need my help this time. I'm just gonna hang out behind
the scenes here in the manual and give you some pointers!
It's a whole new RPG filled with twists and turns!
This isn't your typical role-playing game. It's got a lot of new
twists! During battles, Mario can jump repeatedly or knock out
enemies with a barrage of fire!
caption: Battles are fought with commands. Power up with "Action
Commands" (see page 30 for more info).
Action Packed
All sorts of things can be found during the game. Events like the
mining car ride or the Yoshi race are a blast! Prepare yourself for
loads of action and fun!
All sorts of hidden goodies.
During the game, there are so many cool things to find, like floating
treasure boxes or Trampolines. Of course, there are pipes, teeter-
totters, cannons, and donut blocks, too!
-------------------------------pgs. 06-07------------------------
The Story Begins ...
One day, while visiting Mario, Princess Toadstool was picking flowers in
the garden ...
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Bowser appeared and grabbed the Princess
again! (Like you'd expect anyone else to?) Mario, hearing Toadstool's
scream for help, sped off alone toward Bowser's Keep. After Mario
trounced Bowser for the millionth time (this time they fought on one of
Bowser's chandeliers), everyone felt Bowser's Keep beginning to shake!
A HUGE sword crashed into Bowser's Keep! What's gonna happen now?
-------------------------------pgs. 08-09-----------------------
Mario's World
This is the world where Mario and his friends will travel. Bowser's Keep
is that thing in the middle with the giant sword sticking in it! Hurry
Mario! Get a move on!
Luigi: WOW ... This world is huge!
So, this is where Mario is going to travel. I wonder if he'll
be going to Moleville or the Sunken Ship?
-------------------------------pgs. 10-11--------------------

-------------------------------pgs. 12-13-------------------------
Starting and Saving a Game
Correctly insert the Super Mario RPG Game Pak into your Super Nintendo
Entertainment System and move the "POWER" switch to the "ON" position.
When the title screen appears, press START to move to the next screen.
Starting from scratch
On the title screen, press either START or the A Button to access the
screen on the right. With the + Control Pad, move Mario to the top to
select "New Game," then press either START or the A Button.
Entering a file name
Move the cursor with the + Control Pad and select a letter by pressing
the A Button (cancel with the B Button). This is for SAVE files only.
You can't change Mario's name.
Start from where you left off
When playing a saved game, move Mario to the desired SAVED FILE using
the + Control Pad, then press the A Button. The current level,
location, and number of star pieces collected are displayed.
Saving your game
When you want to take a break, save your progress by jumping on the
Save Block [which has a yellow star on top and multicolored "S"s on
the two visible sides] and turning the power off. Remember to save
often!
Save
If Mario jumps on the Save Block, like the one shown above, a save
screen will appear. Select the file you want to save and press the A
Button. There are four save files. If you save in a different file,
this [Not your last save -- Save here anyway?] message will appear at
the top of the screen.
Game Over
If Mario and his friends' HP drop to zero during battle, the game is
over. You will then return to the last saved point.
Keep your experience points!
When the game is over, you'll return to the last save point. Anything
that happened after that point will have to be done again (this
includes all coins and items found). However, all experience points
accumulated will remain.
-------------------------------pgs. 14-15------------------------
Gameplay Screens and Treasure Boxes
Find out how it all works here!
Overworld Screen
This is the screen where all communication takes place and where all
monsters appear. Look for projections on the edge of the screen to
move to the next area.
Map Screen
When you finish an area, you'll go to the map screen. Areas that
Mario can access are indicated by a red dot. Move Mario to the
desired area with the + Control Pad and press the A Button.
About Treasure Boxes
There are treasure boxes everywhere (houses, caves, etc.) and their
contents work immediately. In these boxes, you'll find ...
Mushrooms
Refills the party's HP and FP level.
Flowers
Increases maximum value of FP (Flower Points) by one.
Stars
You'll be invincible for a short time. All enemies that touch you
will be instantly defeated.

Small coins are worth one, big ones are worth ten.
caption: Jump and hit the treasure boxes from below to receive what's
inside. Boxes with no "?" mark are empty.
About Frog Coins
In this world, there are many hidden green frog coins. Collect them
to buy some cool stuff.
caption: Some items can't be bought at regular stores. Spend your
frog coins wisely.

overworld map]. See page 25 for more information.
-------------------------------pgs. 16-17-----------------------
Mario in Action!
Time to learns some really cool tricks!
Luigi: Mario's one tricky plumber! In this game, there are lots of
tricks to help you out.
caption: There are some places that require you to make a running jump.
Board
A panel floating in the air. Some of them move all sorts of ways.
Watch their patterns, then hop on board!
Spinning Flower
A flower that spins. If you hop on it and jump, Mario will spring in
the direction he faces.
Trampoline
The one [with a WARP! on it] is a warp trampoline that takes you to
another area. The one [with a happy face] is a smile trampoline that
lets Mario jump REALLY high.
Pipes
Jump on top of a pipe and press [south] on the + Control Pad. You'll
descend to the underground (or to other areas). Some tree stumps can
also be used as pipes.
Pot Cannon
Enter a pot cannon the same way you'd enter a pipe. Press the B
Button to jump out. If you time it right, you'll jump farther!
Donut Block
If you've played other Mario games, then you probably remember Donut
Blocks. Don't stand on them too long or they'll fall!
More Tricks!
Teeter Totter
Hop on the open side. If you stand on it while it's down, when
another character lands on it, Mario will ...
Switch
These [round, green, with a ! on them] switches are a mystery. Step
on them and something will happen. Have fun figuring this one out!

Shopping Guide

owner and listen to what he has to say.

-------------------------------pgs. 26-27-----------------------

another strategy!

of the screen]. The face displayed will change depending on conditions
(see p. 32 for more info). The numbers next to the face [are] the
current value/maximum value of HP.
Whoever has this [purple button grid displayed] around 'em means it's
their turn. Each button is a different command (A, B, X, Y). When you
press a button, pressing it again will confirm the command {see pgs. 28-

-------------------------------pgs. 44-45---------------------
Frogfucius Says ...
When you're stuck in a certain spot, visit Frogfucius in Tadpole Pond
for advice.
Frogfucius: Luigi has given you sound advice. Pull up a toadstool and
partake of my wisdom. With my help, you will go far,
grasshopper.
You've come to a teeter totter, but you're not jumping high enough.
What will you do? Try to find a higher point to fall from. You'll jump
MUCH higher this way.
Sometimes, Mario cannot move when someone speaks to him. When that
happens, press the B Button to jump. That person is just trying to see
Mario's jumping ability.
If you've come to a spot that's too high to reach, or you see a treasure
box that's too high to jump to, try to find a hidden platform. Like
other Mario games, there are all kinds of hidden platforms or hidden
treasure boxes waiting to be found. When in doubt, JUMP!
Unlike most role-playing games, everyone shares Flower Points. Make
sure to always keep your Flower Points maxed out. Flower that you find
in treasure boxes automatically increase your maximum Flower Points.
However, other flowers that you find, such as "Flower Tabs" or "Flower
Jars" won't be useful to you unless you use it as an item. You can use
these anytime except during battle.
On the Menu Screen, you can see how many experience points are needed
for the next level, right? Remember the number, grasshopper, because
when you reach the next level, your HP will be totally recovered.
Frog: Look for frog coins. They can be used to buy rare and important
items. Good luck.
Mini-game Madness
Melody Bay
Jump on a tadpole and make a melody! Someone here can give you a
hint.
Moleville Mountain
It's a mining car race! Use mushrooms for an extra boost. Don't
forget to use your brakes!
Beetle Race
Collect as many beetles as you can by jumping on them. Try to catch
a Golden Beetle!
Look for other mini games during your adventure. You can find some
really neat stuff! Lotsa luck to you! Bye for now!
