super mario rpg 100 percent

If you’re looking to 100 percent complete Super Mario RPG, the game makes that kind of tough in a few particular ways. The good news is that the game is a little bit on the short side. If you’re playing through the game for the first time, it shouldn’t take you any more than around 15 hours to beat. That being said, prepare for a challenge when it comes to completion.

We have the full rundown below. Just be aware that this guide contains some spoilers before proceeding.

Super Mario RPG Culex

Culex, alongside Mallow and Geno, is one of the more popular characters in Super Mario RPG. In addition to being a powerful opponent, he is a living reference to Final Fantasy. He’s also one of the tougher bosses in Super Mario RPG, and encountering him requires a little bit of setup beforehand. We’ve put together a guide on how to find Culex, how to set up your party prior to battle, and how to eventually defeat him to receive the exclusive Quartz Charm accessory.

Super Mario RPG 3 Musty Fears

Super Mario RPG doesn’t have too many side quests, but one that it does have is the 3 Musty Fears side quest in Monstro Town. One of the houses there contains nothing but a bed – turn the mushroom light off and hop into the bed to start this quest. Three undead characters will each place an invisible flag somewhere around the world, and it’s your job to find that flag based on the hints they give. If you don’t feel like figuring it out yourself, we’ve put together a brief list of all three flag locations and the reward you’ll receive for finding them all.

Super Mario RPG Frog Coin farming

We’ve come up with a fool-proof Frog Coin farming method in Super Mario RPG that’s easy to perform and doesn’t require much focus at all. 

If you’re looking for a fast way to increase coins, this should come in handy. Technically, you could take the Midas River course over and over again or try playing a different sort of minigame to rack up Frog Coins. These methods tend to be rather slow, however, and require a good deal of focus to successfully complete. 

super mario rpg boss rematch

The boss rematches are the toughest challenges Super Mario RPG has to offer, so we’ve put together a detailed guide on each one to help you take each one down – plus their locations.

The game actually adds a good amount of content on top of the original. These come in the form of boss rematches, which you can’t access until after you defeat the final boss. There are spoilers ahead, including the identity of the super-secret boss, so take care before you continue. With all that out of the way, let’s get right into our Super Mario RPG boss rematch guide.
