Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In "Super Mario RPG", there are various players that you'll need to use. These party members are led by Mario, the famous plumber. In the beginning of the game, Mario, Princess Toadstool and Bowser are thrown in different directions by Smithy's sword, Exor, as it crashes into the Factory. Eventually, Bowser and Toadstool also join the party, but first, Mario must meet up with Mallow and Geno in Mushroom Kingdom and Forest Maze respectively.

2. Throughout the game, there are many equippable weapons and armor for the party members. In the very beginning of the game, Mario will be able to obtain the Hammer after defeating the Hammer Bros. Throughout the rest of the game, you can find weapons for each party member in different locations and shops. If a weapon isn't attached to a character, they fight unarmed. In fact, Bowser starts out with a weapon while all of the rest of the characters are added to the group without a weapon. A powerful weapon and armor set are the Lazy Shells which can be found in Rose Town.
Where did I mess up here?
3. Sure, status inflictions stink. I mean, no one really likes them. After all, Megasmilax can turn party members into Mushrooms and Belome can transform people into Scarecrows. There are a couple of ways to get around this though. By finding accessories throughout the game, players can prevent status changes during battle. Getting poisoned a lot? Use the Antidote Pin for that! The Antidote Pin will prevent you from taking any poison damage. Tired of turning into a scarecrow? Use the Trueform Pin. After all, the Trueform Pin will prevent you from becoming both a Scarecrow and a Mushroom. Not many of these come cheap, but some sell for extravagant prices. For example: The Amulet found in Marrymore will sell for 200 coins!
I know I messed up in there somewhere. What's the error I made?
4. There are a lot of weird and unique enemies in this game. Some of these are familiar to Mario fans while others may be rather new. For example, one is likely to find Goombas and Koopas early in the game on Mushroom Way, but players are unlikely to see them in Land's End because it's much farther into the game. Some really weird ones may include Raspberry and Bundt. These enemies are actually bosses, but what's different about them is that they're two pieces of a large wedding cake. You can fight them in Marrymore when you're saving Princess Toadstool. Another odd enemy is Yaridovich. I'm not really sure what he is, but he's fought in Seaside Town, and some of his moves, like Water Blast, are extremely powerful.

5. Items are extremely useful in this game. The first items you'll come across are the ever-popular Mushrooms which are found in many Mario games. Toad will hand them to you as you leave Mario's Pad and head to Mushroom Kingdom. As you make your way around the map, new items will start to appear. For example, the Pick Me Up, first found in Mushroom Kingdom, will revive a defeated party member, and it only costs 5 coins! What else? Pure Water will defeat any ghost enemies like Big Boos or Shadows (both of which are in Kero Sewers). Able Juice can first be bought in Rose Town and it cures all status effects like Mute, Poison, and Fear. As you progress, better Mushrooms and Syrups (for FP) can be found. Upgrades like Mid and Max Mushrooms are more expensive, but they'll fill more health, and the same goes for Maple and Royal Syrups which will also fill more and more Flower Points.
Did you catch that one? I know there's an error in there. What did I say wrong?
6. As party members progress through the levels, they will start gaining more and more special moves. Many of Mario's moves are Fire or Jump related, while many of Princess Toadstool's moves have to do with healing and status effects. In fact, Princess Toadstool has no attacks which damage the enemy at all. Bowser learns the least amount of special attacks in the group (only four). Many of Mallow's attacks are weather related (like Thunderbolt or HP Rain), while Geno has many abnormal attacks like Geno Beam, Geno Whirl, and Geno Blast. In fact, all of Geno's special attacks begin with the name 'Geno'. It's odd, after all, Geno isn't really the character's real name!

7. In the game, there are many different locations across the land that you can visit. You head in a clockwise circle around the map and visit basically every place in order to accomplish every goal. There are seven towns from Mushroom Kingdom to Nimbus Land, and there are many locations that seem like dungeons like the Sunken Ship and Belome Temple. In order to reach the Sunken Ship, you must head to the Sea, and you must travel through Monstro Town to reach Belome Temple. Another neat area is Barrel Volcano, located near the end of the game. In this area, there are many enemies to fight and you can visit Hinopio. There are also two boss battles in this area.

8. Although there are five main characters in the game, there are numerous supporting characters. Without them, our heroes would surely be doomed. For example, had Gaz not been at Rose Town Inn with her Geno doll, then we certainly would've had a more difficult time fighting Bowyer in the Forest Maze. Had we not met and fought Johnny in the Sunken Ship, then Yaridovich could've escaped in Seaside Town. Who knows what would've happened if we hadn't have had Toad by our side in Mushroom Way! We could've been Goomba fodder! Sure, maybe they never really helped us, but Raz and Raini were an important couple too. When we meet them in Seaside Town, they're being held hostage in the shed by Yaridovich.
I know I screwed up in there again. What did I mess up with?
9. What good would an RPG be without bosses? "Super Mario RPG" is full of them. Although your first boss fight is technically about Bowser, it's a given that you will win it. All you need to do to beat him is take out the Kinklink of the chandelier! As the game progresses, the bosses obviously get harder. Belome, found in both Belome Temple and Pipe Vault, is an odd enemy. He'll turn characters into scarecrows, put them to sleep, and make clones after a while. Nearly each of the seven stars is also guarded by a boss. Mack will be in Mushroom Kingdom, and Bowyer will be in Forest Maze. One enemy, Johnny, will become an ally after you fight him for a star. The Czar Dragon in Barrel Volcano guards the sixth star of the game.
What is my mistake this time?
10. The end of the game is great, and I'm sorry I spoiled it for a question. After you defeat the horrible enemies, trials and bosses of Bowser's Castle, you'll fight Exor. Exor is the giant sword that crashed into the castle. During the battle, you'll need to watch Exor's brain, left and right eyes, and the Exor piece itself. You can't actually attack the Exor piece until you've stunned some of the other pieces first. Once it's defeated, you'll go to the Factory. Along the way, you'll have a chance to reunite with old bosses like Mack, Bowyer, and Yaridovich as they head off the assembly line. When you get deeper into the factory, you'll finally defeat the last bosses before you reach Smithy. Along the way, Toad will come along with some items and he'll sell them to you. During the Smithy battle, you'll start in the factory and you'll need to watch out for his Smelting machine. If you don't destroy it, it will help Smithy produce some helpful allies for himself. In his second stage, Smithy's head will take several forms, but after inflicting thousands of Hit Points, he'll finally lose. Geno's spirit will head back to the heavens, the Star Road will be saved, and the rest of the gang can head back home to their lives. Cue the parade, roll the credits.
The ending may have been memorable, but did you remember enough to notice my error? Where did I go wrong this time?
