You’ll find hidden secret treasure chests throughout Super Mario RPG, floating invisibly in a ton of different rooms. With certain accessories, you can get notified when you’re in a room with one of these chests, but even with those accessories, it can be hard to pinpoint the precise locations.

To that end, we’ve detailed where to find every hidden treasure in Super Mario RPG.

How to find hidden treasures easier in Super Mario RPG

Right away in the basement of the item shop in the Mushroom Kingdom, you’ll get the Signal Ring accessory, which doesn’t give you any stat boosts, but will ping you whenever a room you’re in contains an accessory. Later on in Nimbus Land, you’ll get an upgraded version of this accessory that will ping you as you get closer to wherever the hidden chest is.

The talking treasure chest that lives upstairs of the mayor’s house in Monstro Town will also tell you how many hidden treasures you have left to find, which is useful if you’re trying to find all of the hidden treasure chests in Super Mario RPG.

Mushroom Kingdom hidden treasure (Flower)

If you head downstairs from the item shop, a Toad will tell you to jump. Follow his instructions for what is technically the first hidden treasure. After doing this and getting the reward from the Toad, jump on his head and wait for him to walk into the corner to access another hidden treasure.

Mushroom Kingdom hidden treasure (Frog Coin)

Jump on the Toad’s head in the castle entryway to get access to this ledge, where you can jump and hit this hidden treasure.

Note that you’ll need to wait for the ruckus at the castle to die down. After you meet Mallow and are about to head out, you can head back into the castle to use this Toad to get on the ledge.

Bandit’s Way hidden treasure (Croaka Cola)

Use the red flower by the right exit of Bandit’s Way to jump towards the top right, allowing you to hit this very high chest.

Rose Town hidden treasure (Frog Coin)

Head into the item shop and jump up these shelves behind the cashiers to access this chest.

Rose Town hidden treasure (Frog Coin)

There’s a house in Rose Town on the cliff that’s out of reach, but you can reach it by jumping on a nearby Toad’s head and then onto the cliff. Go upstairs in this house and jump on the bed to get this hidden chest. (Also hit that switch in the room to open up the stairs to the house.)

Forest Maze hidden treasure (Croaka Cola)

At the entrance to the Forest Maze, jump to the left of the path for this chest.

Forest Maze hidden treasure (Frog Coin)

After the underground portion, jump in the spot shown above to get this chest.

Forest Maze hidden treasure (Croaka Cola)

In the area with the seven stumps and wigglers, go into the stump the farthest from the entrance to the area (it’s the one that isn’t in a pair). Head to the back and jump right behind the sleeping wiggler to find this chest.

Forest Maze hidden treasure (nothing)

In the same room as above, if you take the left stump in the second row from the entrance, you can hit the chest in the location shown above, but you won’t get anything for it. Boo hiss.

In the final room with the save block (after the maze you follow Geno through), jump in the bottom left corner by the entrance to get this chest.

Pipe Vault hidden treasure (Frog Coin)

In the room with the row of Piranha Plants, enter the second pipe. Jump right in front of the elevated platform to reveal an invisible block you can use to get on top of the platform. Run forward a bit and jump to reveal this treasure.

Sunken Ship hidden treasure (Croaka Cola)

To get this very tricky chest, you’ll need to jump on the head of the Mario clone in front of you so you can reach the hidden treasure. Do not talk to the Mario, as this will initiate a battle. If you talk to and defeat the Mario, you’ll have to leave the Sunken Ship area and come back for it to respawn.

Land’s End hidden treasure (Red Essence)

Use the cannon at the entrance to Land’s End to shoot yourself onto the yellow platform. Jump towards north from the platform to hit this chest.
