Super Mario RPG – All Hidden Treasure Locations Guide


There are dozens of Super Mario RPG Hidden Treasures for you to discover. As you progress further in the campaign, you’ll visit numerous locations, some of which have goodies in invisible containers. Here’s our guide to help you find all Hidden Treasures in Super Mario RPG.

All Hidden Treasure locations in Super Mario RPG

The Super Mario RPG Hidden Treasures will only appear if you jump and hit them. The easiest way to know of their locations is with the use of the Signal Ring. If the Signal Ring is equipped on any character, even someone who’s not in your active party, a notification will appear in the top-right corner of your screen informing you that a Hidden Treasure is nearby. Moreover, there’s a certain NPC that counts just how many Hidden Treasures you’ve found throughout the course of your adventure.

How to get the Signal Ring

The Signal Ring is found in the Mushroom Kingdom, specifically in the basement of the item shop. Chat with the NPC there, who’ll ask you to jump. Doing so causes an invisible block to appear. The NPC will hand over the Signal Ring, too.

Make sure at least one character has the Signal Ring equipped.

How to keep track of all Hidden Treasures you’ve found

As for keeping track of all the Super Mario RPG Hidden Treasures that you’ve discovered, your best bet is to progress further in the campaign until you reach Monstro Town. Make your way to the elder’s house (i.e. the first one to the right once you arrive in the village), then go to the room on the second floor. The treasure mimic NPC here will let you know how many you’ve found so far. Also, this particular room has a starfish that lets you play the third tune in Melody Bay.

Hidden Treasure locations in the Mushroom Kingdom region

We’ve organized our Super Mario RPG Hidden Treasures guide into several categories based on each region. We’re kicking things off with those in the Mushroom Kingdom and Bandit’s Way.

Mushroom Kingdom Hidden Treasures

  • Hidden Treasure #1: The first Hidden Treasure in the game is in the basement of the item shop. It’s part of the task from the NPC that gives you the Signal Ring.
  • Hidden Treasure #2: The second Hidden Treasure is also in the same room. Wait until the NPC moves to the corner, then jump on his head so you can hit the block.
  • Hidden Treasure #3: This one requires you to chat with the chancellor inside the castle and meet up with Mallow outside. Once Mallow joins you, go back to the castle corridor and hop on the guard that’s on patrol. This lets you reach the ledge with an invisible block above it.

Bandit’s Way Hidden Treasure

  • Hidden Treasure #4: There’s only one Hidden Treasure in Bandit’s Way. Simply continue through the level until you see a red flower next to a purple flower. Hop on the red flower and jump when Mario is facing diagonally to the right. This allows you to hit the block that’s floating in mid-air.

Hidden Treasure locations in the Tadpole Pond region

We’re going to look for the Super Mario RPG Hidden Treasure blocks in the Tadpole Pond region, specifically in the Rose Town, Forest Maze, and Pipe Vault areas.

Rose Town Hidden Treasures

  • Hidden Treasure #5: Enter the item shop and jump on the shelf behind the vendors. Note that there’s another block in this room. You’ll have to climb on the boxes outside so you can enter via the chimney.
  • Hidden Treasure #6: Head to the lone house on a hill and wait for the Toad NPC to move near it. Then, jump on its head so you can clamber on the edge. Enter the house and jump while on the bed in the second-floor bedroom to spot this chest.

  • Hidden Treasure #9: Go down the tree trunk to the right (i.e. the one closest to the entrance pathway). The block is near the spring that takes you back outside.
  • Hidden Treasure #10: Go down the tree trunk to the left in the second row. The block is slightly north of the spring in the underground section, though it doesn’t yield any reward.
  • Hidden Treasure #11: Continue to the very end of the Wiggler area where you’ll spot a lone tree trunk. Go down and make your way to the end of the tunnel where you’ll spot a sleeping Wiggler. Go behind it and jump to tag this chest.
  • Hidden Treasure #12: The last Hidden Treasure in this zone requires you to hop on the Wiggler, who’ll then toss you to another above-ground area. This is where you need to complete the Forest Maze objective by taking the passageways that Geno uses as an exit. Once you see the save point, go to the clearing to the south (not to the next screen) to find this block.

Hidden Treasure locations in the Star Hill and Land’s End regions

Next up, we’re going to look for the Super Mario RPG Hidden Treasure blocks in the Star Hill and Land’s End regions. Apart from Land’s End, we also tackle those in the Sunken Ship, Belome’s Temple, Monstro Town, and Bean Valley.

Sunken Ship Hidden Treasure

  • Hidden Treasure #24: This requires you to complete the Sunken Ship puzzles and beat the King Calamari boss so you can reach the next area. While exploring, you’ll come across a room with a Mario clone. Don’t interact with it, as that leads to a battle. Instead, watch as the clone mirrors your movements. The goal is to jump on the clone’s head so you can hit the invisible “J” block, which also makes the Hidden Treasure appear. From there, get the clone to reposition so you can grab the treasure.
You need to consider how the Mario clone mirrors your movements to reach the Sunken Ship Hidden Treasure.

Land’s End Hidden Treasures

  • Hidden Treasure #25: In the first screen in Land’s End, use the cannon to reach a yellow platform. Wait for it to move higher, then jump up.
  • Hidden Treasure #26: In the second Land’s End screen, fire yourself out of a cannon to fall down a pit on the next hill. Take out the kobold enemies, then jump up when you’re at the edge of the pit. This will reveal another yellow platform. Go back to the cannon so you can reach the aforementioned platform. This lets you climb to the top of the rock formation. The Hidden Treasure is in the left corner.
  • Hidden Treasure #27: Next up, you’ll find yourself in a grassy area with several red and purple flowers. Jump between the second and third purple flower to tag this block.
  • Hidden Treasure #28: Continue past the purple flowers to spot a rock pillar with a hole. Stand next to it and jump when you see smoke coming out. This will cause Mario to get pulled into an underground area. Continue all the way to the back where a kobold mob is waiting to tag this container.

Past this section, you’ll see an area that has five pipes with baby Piranha Plants. The Shy Guy is flies around randomly while watering them. The goal is to wait for the Shy Guy to water the Piranha Plants in the bottom-right and right-hand sides. Once the Piranha Plants are fully grown, defeat them in battle so you can go down the pipes.

You'll have to coax the Shy Guy to make the Piranha Plants grow. Doing so allows you to beat them in battle to gain access to the underground areas.

Hidden Treasure locations in the Nimbus Land and Bowser’s Keep regions

The last few Hidden Treasures in Super Mario RPG are in the Nimbus Land and Bowser’s Keep regions. The former has several, and the latter only has one.

Nimbus Land Hidden Treasures

  • Hidden Treasure #35: Enter the item shop in Nimbus Land and use the brown boxes behind the vendor.
  • Hidden Treasure #36 and #37: Once you gain entry to the castle, continue further until you reach the left wing, which has steps that lead down. There’s a bird enemy here, as well as a Jawful:
    • The first chest is directly above where the Jawful is standing, which means you have to take it out.
    • The second chest is in the small gap in the darkened portion of the room. It looks like the edge of the screen already, though you should be able to pass through.

  • Hidden Treasure #39: This Hidden Treasure only appears after you’ve defeated Valentina and Dodo, thereby freeing the royal family. Return to the main corridor (i.e. the one with three doors, one of which led to the Birdo boss fight earlier). Stand in the far-left corner and jump to tag this container.

Well, that about does it for all the Hidden Treasures in Super Mario RPG. Don’t forget to talk to the treasure mimic NPC in Monstro Town in case you need to check if you missed out on anything. Speaking of stuff you might miss out on, you should definitely complete other activities, such as the Melody Bay tadpole puzzles and the flags of the 3 Musty Fears.
