Super Mario RPG hidden treasure location guide

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.

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.
