Welcome to our Super Mario RPG Full Walkthrough Guide hub!

The Super Mario RPG Walkthrough will have you covered for both the Nintendo Switch remake, Super Mario RPG, and the original SNES title, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Our walkthrough contains strategies for all bosses, the best party set-up, all Hidden Treasures locations, lists of all weapons, armor, and accessories, and where to get the best weapons and items in the game.

We loved Super Mario RPG on the Super NES, but the Switch remake is every bit as brilliant, and we awarded it a 9/10 in our Super Mario RPG review, saying, "Super Mario RPG is here in all of its weird, wonderful glory for a new generation to experience, and sets a new standard for how to do a faithful remake right."
