These characters participated in a triathlon together, involving swimming, cycling, and a marathon. Dr. Topper challenges the player, Mario, to figure out the final placement of each character based on hints provided by them. The hints are given randomly in each playthrough.

For example, the one who finished first mentions being faster than another on their bike. The second one reveals they ended up in fourth place in cycling but got the same place in the marathon as they did in swimming. The third character had the same placement in swimming and cycling but was beaten by two others in the marathon. The last one says they placed third in swimming. This puzzle adds a fun and challenging element to the game, requiring players to use deduction skills to figure out the correct order of finish for each character in the triathlon.

Triathlon Challenge in Super Mario RPG

In the final challenge of Super Mario RPG, there are four creatures: Boo, Goo(mba), Bones, and Kipp. They all took part in a triathlon, and your task is to figure out their placements in the race from 1st to 4th.

Each of these creatures gives you a clue about their performance, but the catch is that the statements are randomly assigned to them. You can take your time talking to each one and jot down notes before telling Dr. Topper that you're ready to solve the puzzle.

Here are the hints to help you match each creature to their placement:

  • First Place: "I outdid (Name) both on my bike in the final rankings."
  • Second Place: "I fell into fourth place during the bike race, but finally ended up in the same place I did in the swimming event."
  • Third Place: "I placed the same in swimming and cycling events, but two others beat me in the marathon."
  • Fourth Place: "I came in third for swimming, and never did better in the events after that."

By matching the names (Boo, Goo, Bones, Kipp) to the quotes, you can correctly solve the puzzle and complete the room. So, pay attention to what each creature says and use the clues to determine who finished where in the triathlon.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is a video game made by Square and Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1996. It's the last Mario game for SNES.

This game is the first in the Mario series with role-playing gameplay, inspired by Square's Final Fantasy. In battles, you take turns fighting enemies with a party of up to three characters.

It's also the first Mario game with a 3D environment, adding new exploration and platforming elements. Super Mario RPG got great reviews for its humor and 3D graphics. It inspired other Mario RPGs like Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi. Originally on SNES, it later came to the Wii and Wii U Virtual Consoles, as well as the Super NES Classic Edition. Recently, a remake for the Nintendo Switch was released worldwide on November 17, 2023, and it received positive reviews.

Super Mario RPG Gameplay

In Super Mario RPG, the gameplay is a mix of classic Mario platforming and traditional Japanese role-playing elements. The game has two main parts: exploring the world and turn-based battles. When not in battles, the game looks like a 3D platformer with Mario doing familiar things like hitting question blocks. Unlike some RPGs, there are no surprise fights; you can see enemies on the map, and you only battle them if you touch them. This lets you avoid fights you don't want.

At the beginning, you control Mario, but your party grows to include up to five characters, each with unique skills. For example, Princess Toadstool can heal, while Geno and Bowser focus on powerful attacks. The battles are turn-based, where you choose actions like attacking or using items. What's cool is the "action commands," where you time button presses to make moves more effective. This mix of Mario-style exploration and RPG battles makes Super Mario RPG a unique and fun game.
