Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Un-Official Players Guide

Put your SMRPG Game Pak into your Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Turn on the power. You should see a Nintendo/Squaresoft logo. Then the introduction screen will appear and will have Princess Peach Toadstool sitting and will begin music. To skip the introduction, press START. Now the title screen will appear. Select Mono or Stereo by using the L and R buttons. (Note: If you are using headphones, then Mono is suggested.) Now select New Game. Enter your name and select Done. This will bring up a screen similar to the intro screen and Mario will rush to Bowser’s Castle. Now, use X to select items and the menu screen, use B to jump and Y to run. When in a battle, use Y to do special moves(jumping, fire, ect.), X to select items, and a to attack. Use B for defense.

In Bowser’s Castle, you will meet up with Terrapins that will try to attack you. If you hit A prior to attacking them, you will do more damage. Hit A just before they attack you and you will receive less damage. You will start out with a 20 HP level. Once the HP level reaches 0, you will die and your game will be over. Once you pass the Terrapins, you will encounter a bridge with flames coming up; avoid these and reach the other side. The bridge will collapse and you will have to go through the door. You will see Toadstool and Bowser. Tadstool will say "Don’t let Bowser bruise you, Mario!" Take her advice! Bowser will say, "Mario! Prepare yourself for the great beyond!" Don’t attack Bowser, attack the Kinklink with a super jump. Repeat. Bowser will become alarmed and the Kinklink will drop him. He then throws a hammer at Mario and he will almost fall. Then Bowser throws another hammer and Mario will fall. Bowser will then try to jump on you, and misses. You will reach the Kinklink and Toadstool when the castle starts to shake. Now you will see a sword and stars fall to the castle. You will be thrown to your house, the PipeHouse, in Mario’s Pad. Toad will rush in and say "Hey Mario! Lots of people use something called a door to go in and out of their houses… " And goes on about picking up Toadstool and leaves. Jump off of the coat rack and go out and talk to Toad. He gets suspicious and asks you why you are not talking to him and asks you to bring the princess back. Notice the box with a star on top and S on the sides. This is a Save Box. Jump on it when you need to save the game, and you will start from there if you get a Game Over. Jump on this box now. The Save screen will come up and you must pick a save slot. Pick a slot and push A. Now push A again to leave. Now Talk to Toad again. He will tell you to turn off the Fungi Light for a snooze if you are tired. Go into the PipeHouse and go up to the desk where you see a Mushroom. Hit A. Mario will run and jump in bed.

Resting can help you regain your HP Level. It is important to sleep every once in a while. Now go back outside. Walk down the path and you will see the map screen come up. Go up to Bowser’s Keep. Enter it again by pushing A. You will see a sword that will talk to you. He says he is part of the Smithy Gang and that they are going to take over the world. He will shake the bridge and it will fall, leaving you on Vista Hill. Go back to Mario’s Pad. Go in the PipeHouse and talk to Toad. Mario will tell him what happened and Toad says you should inform the Chancellor of the Mushroom Kingdom. Go outside and try to walk down the path. Toad will run into you and give you a mushroom. You can use Mushrooms to gain HP level. He will then ask you if you know how to use items. Select "I have no idea". Toad will tell you: "In order to use items, open up the "Menu" Screen."-Use the X button-"With it, you can check your status and coin count."-he will show you how to use items, read what he says carefully and do what he says-"and that’s how it’s done. Now you can get a boost whenever you’re feeling tired." Mushrooms are worth 20 HP. Toad then asks himself why he rushed back to tell you. Then a Goomba will come up the path and toad will tell you that Mushroom Way is swarming with monsters. He will then ask you if you know about timed hits. If you say Yes, he will tell the goomba about you knowing about timed hits and it will run off. Select No and he will tell you what to do. Listen to him. He will then give you three Mushrooms! Now walk down the path to Mushroom Way.

You can do one of two things: Fight the monsters that are in Mushroom Way(this will give you a chance to build skill and EXP Points) or look for Toad and save him when he is in trouble. We recommend choice number one. You will find a treasure chest. Jump up and get all the coins. Other chests contain different things. You will find toad captured by a goomba and needed to be rescued. Enter a battle and face the goombas. You will then get a thank you from Toad and receive a Honey Syrup for your trouble. This will increase your flower points by 10. Now continue on your way. At some point in the game you will advance to level 2. This will increase your strength and power. Toad needs to be saved yet again. For this, you will need to jump on the flower and time your jump. Fight the Sky Troopa and save Toad. He’ll thank you again and give you a Flower Tab! You can use this to get more flower points to use. Open up your menu and select item. Use the Flower Tab. Now continue on the path. Toad needs to be saved, AGAIN! This time he’s being held by 2 tough Hammer Brothers that want to pound you. Go into battle with them. After you defeat them you’ll get 20 coins and a Flower Jar. Use the Flower Jar like you did the Flower Tab, but this will give you 3 points! Toad will then give you the hammer for you to use. To use the hammer, you’ll need to equip it. Go to the menu and select equip. Now select hammer and put it on Mario’s Weapon Slot. Now you have a hammer! Exit screen and continue to the Mushroom Kingdom.

An important issue in this game is curiositey. Talk to all the people in the towns and places you meat them at and go in all the buildings and talk to the people there too. You should go in stores and hotels when you need to rest and buy stuff. A store will have a spinning mushroom on it and a hotel will have a spinning star. You can save your game in most every hotel. Enter the store and buy some things like mushrooms, pick me ups, and shirt and pants. Be sure to equip clothes as armor. Now go to the hotel and save your game. You should sleep in the hotel because it’s cheap, only 3 coins! Some people will charge you 30 coins to sleep! You will see a boy playing a video game in the hotel. Latter on you can buy the game from him for 500 coins, but I wouldn’t bother him now. After you talk to everyone, go to the castle and talk with the Chancellor. He will send you to the vault, where there are some treasures to help you! When you leave the castle, you will come upon a white guy chasing a crocodile. He will start crying and it will rain. Go talk to him. Say you will help him and he will join you! Now go find Croco!

You will come to Bandits Way and have to catch him. Just chase him and fight everything that gets in your way. This is a good time to save your game. After you defeat Croco, you will gain Mallow’s Coin, a wallet, and a flower Tab. You should go back to the Mushroom Kingdom now. What? What are all these things jumping around here? You should defeat them and go on to the Castle. In the Throne Room, you must beat Mack and his gang, one of the Smithy gang that has taken over the kingdom, and save the Chancellor. You need to go to the store after this.
