Complete Bandit's Way walkthrough for Super Mario RPG, including defeating Croco (1) and finding all hidden items.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start of Bandit's Way, head down and right to find a Save Block (a point where the game saves your progress). Save your game here.
  2. 2
    Proceed into the next area. Jump onto the red spinning flower and use it to reach a higher ledge.
  3. 3
    Continue right, jumping between rotating platforms to reach the next area. Collect the 3 Coins in the air.
  4. 4
    Drop down to find a red spinning flower and a blue flower. Jump on the red flower, then time your jump east towards the blue flower to hit Hidden Treasure #04, which contains a KerokeroCola.
  5. 5
    Take the path to the upper right to the next area.
  6. 6
    Follow Croco until the last intersection, then take the right path. Defeat the K-9 (an enemy) underneath a chest to get a Recovery Mushroom.
  7. 7
    Go back down, left, and up to the next area.
  8. 8
    Jump onto the yellow platform to the right, then jump at an angle to hit a chest in the air and obtain a Super Star.
  9. 9
    Quickly drop down and hit every K-9 you see while the Super Star's power is active to gain significant experience points (EXP).
  10. 10
    After the Super Star wears off, use the rotating platforms to reach a chest on the right, which contains a Flower.
  11. 11
    Continue to the lower right to the final area.
  12. 12
    A chest near the entrance contains a Recovery Mushroom.
  13. 13
    Find Croco. Sneak up behind him 3 times to initiate a boss battle.

BOSS #02: Croco (1)

Croco has 320 HP and is weak to Fire attacks. He is immune to Sleep, Mushroom, and Scarecrow status effects.

  • Use Mario's Fire Orb repeatedly.
  • Have Mallow heal with HP Rain as needed.
  • Use Honey Syrup when FP (Flower Points) are low.
  • Use Thunderbolt for extra damage when not healing or attacking.
  • When Croco has under 100 HP, he will use a Weird Mushroom to recover HP. Continue attacking with Fire Orb.
Tips
  • Saving before proceeding allows you to quickly retry if you fail. If you die, you keep all earned EXP, so you can intentionally die after using the Super Star to farm EXP by repeating the process.
  • The enemies in this area include Frogog (80 HP, drops Mushroom or Able Juice), Goomba (16 HP), K-9 (30 HP), Sky Troopa (10 HP, drops Mushroom), and Spikey (20 HP, drops Honey Syrup).
  • Hidden Treasure #04 contains a KerokeroCola.
  • The chest after the Super Star sequence contains a Flower.
  • The chest near the entrance of the final area contains a Recovery Mushroom.
  • Defeating Croco (1) yields 16 EXP and 10 Coins. He also drops a Flower Tab (5% and 25% chance).
