From there, you can open up your menu and go to the “Play Game” section to play a brand-new mini-game called Beetle Mania.

Today, we’re going over a brief strategy to get the 5 million points you need to earn that gold medal.

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.
