Super Mario RPG: Navigate Mario's Pad

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've just seen Mario crash-land into his own house after a dramatic intro. Don't worry, it's all part of the story! Your first real task here is to get your bearings and head out into the world.

Walkthrough

1
When you gain control of Mario, jump down from the wall inside the Pipe House and exit the building.
2
Head outside and talk to Toad. He's the little mushroom guy who's probably pacing around.
3
After chatting with Toad, make sure to use the Save Block right there. It's super important to save your progress often, especially early on! If you try to leave without saving, Toad will make sure you do it first.
4
Now, exit Mario's Pad and head towards Bowser's Keep. You'll see a scene unfold there, but don't worry about that part for now – we'll get to it.
5
After the events at Bowser's Keep, you'll be sent back to Mario's Pad. Go inside the Pipe House and find Toad again; he'll be by the window.
6
Mario will then explain what happened at Bowser's Keep. After that, Toad will leave to inform the Chancellor.
7
Leave the house yourself and start heading down the path away from Mario's Pad. Toad will run back and accidentally bump into you.
8
He'll chat for a bit and then give you a Mushroom. When he asks if you know how to use items, definitely choose (Of course I do!). This lets you keep the Mushroom. If you say no, you'll have to go through a tutorial, and you'll end up using the item anyway.
9
Toad will talk a bit more, and then a Goomba will show up. He'll ask about Timed Hits. If you want to learn how they work, choose (No) to trigger a battle tutorial. Otherwise, say (Yes) to skip it and avoid the presentation.
10
After the Goomba leaves, Toad will give you Mushroom x3 before he departs.
11
Head back into the Pipe House and interact with the Fungi Light. This is a free way to restore your HP and FP, so use it whenever you need a quick refresh! You can also save your game here again if you like.
12
Once you're all set, leave Mario's Pad and make your way to Mushroom Way.

Tips

Don't forget to use the Save Blocks whenever you see them – it's a lifesaver!
Always try to keep a few Mushrooms on hand for healing.
Pay attention to Toad's explanations about Timed Hits; they'll be crucial later on.
The Fungi Light is your best friend for free healing, so use it liberally before heading into new areas.
