| | '''Forest Maze''' is a labyrinth of trees and underground passages found in the game ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. It includes some underground caverns accessed by traveling down tree stumps as well as some regular forested areas, but the main part is a maze infested with unlimited enemies. [[Mario]] is obligated to follow [[Geno]] through it in order to find and defeat [[Bowyer]]. The Forest Maze was his base of operations. The [[Mushroom Boy]] of [[Seaside Town]] asks Mario to retrieve [[Mushroom]]s from the forest, and will offer Mario a prize if the plumber returns a rare Mushroom. |

It includes some underground caverns accessed by traveling down tree stumps as well as some regular forested areas, but the main part is a maze infested with unlimited enemies. Also scattered throughout the forest are [[Mushroom]]s that the player can collect.

| After [[Gaz]]'s [[Geno]] doll is possessed by ♡ ♪ ! ?, he walks out of [[Rose Town]] and into the Forest Maze. [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]], upon hearing this from Gaz, give chase to the doll. They eventually arrive at a part of the forest that is taken over by [[Bowyer]], a bow-like creature that is shooting [[Aero]]s at Rose Town. While Mario and Mallow spy on Bowyer, an Aero arrives and presents Bowyer with one of the [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]]s. However, it is at this moment that Geno shows up, and attempts to fight Bowyer. With help from Mario and Mallow, Geno is able to defeat Bowyer and claim the second Star Piece. Afterward, Geno decides to join Mallow and Mario in claiming the remaining Star Pieces to repair [[Star Road (Super Mario RPG)|Star Road]].
| |
|
| |
| The "maze" portion of the forest is navigated by following Geno at first. Eventually, however, he stops appearing. At this point, however, the player is close enough to Bowyer to judge where to go based on the trajectory of the falling Aeros. If a wrong turn is made, the player starts back at the beginning. If the player helps the Toad in Rose Town get back to his house and apologizes for taking his treasures if the player opened any of the [[Treasure chest#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|treasure boxes]] inside, the Toad gives directions to a secret area inside the Forest Maze. In the "maze" portion, by going left, left, straight, and right in relation to Mario's perspective, it leads to the Treasure Room.<ref>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent|date=1996|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Nintendo Player's Guide''|page=37}}</ref> The room contains two [[Flower (Super Mario RPG)|flowers]], two [[Mushroom#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|mushrooms]] that restores the party's HP and FP, and a [[Frog Coin]].
| |
|
| |
| Later, in [[Seaside Town]], there is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] called the [[Mushroom Boy]] that can taste a Mushroom collected here or bought to see if it is a rare Mushroom.
| |
|
| |
| In the children's book, ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'', Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Toad]] go to Forest Maze in search for one of the six magic mushrooms. After finding the orange mushroom, the trio fights two [[Hammer Bro]]thers.
| |
| ==Music== | | ==Music== |
| On the ''[[Super Mario RPG Original Sound Version]]'' soundtrack, the music for the Forest Maze is titled 森のキノコにご用心 (''Mori no Kinoko ni Go Yōjin''), which is translated into "Beware of [[Amanita|Forest Mushrooms]]" in the remake's [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch) sound test|Sound Player]].
| | The music of the Forest Maze is famous among players of the game, and was chosen as track four in the Arranged Version of the Super Mario RPG soundtrack. Only five tracks were included. In the music, many birds may be heard chirping. On both soundtracks, the music was titled, "Beware the Forest's Mushrooms!" |
|
| |
|
| A few notes of the track can be heard in the [[Toad Town]], [[Peach's Castle]] and [[Dimble Wood]] themes in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. Being that Yoko Shimomura is responsible both for ''Super Mario RPG''{{'}}s music and the music in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series music, it is possible that this is intentional.
| | Hackers were able to find pointers to a removed song in the data of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcxMzWvG-jA The removed "Forest Maze" song in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]</ref>. The song was referenced as "snd_bgm_A12_MORINOKINOKO" (Mori no Kinoko, or "Mushroom Forest"), which may be a reference to this music. If so, it was most likely removed due to copyright issues with Square-Enix. |
