The remake of the SNES game Super Mario RPG is about as faithful as any fan could hope for. Classic characters, locations, combat mechanics, and music all return in a new and charming graphical style. While there are a few new tweaks and additions here and there, for the most part the world is just as you remember it from your childhood. This includes those tricky hidden chests. Just like in the original, a special set of hidden chests wait to be found throughout the game world, but for those who haven’t played the original, you can play most (if not all) of the game without finding them. Hidden chests, in this case, are actually invisible until Mario jumps down and activates them. Mario is a superstar jumper, but even he would get tired of jumping everywhere possible in search of those secret chests. We will tell you where to find the 39 chests hidden in Super Mario RPG so you can reap the rewards without tearing your hair out trying to find them.
We’ll list all the hidden chests in the order you should naturally encounter them as you play the game so you can follow along. However, if you’ve already missed some, none of them can be missed, so you can always go back to pick up any you might have accidentally bypassed. You should also equip the Signal Ring to alert you when a hidden chest is in your area.
