{{ | {{quote2|Of the 6 doors... 2 open onto action courses! You can handle a lot of action, right? 2 others will lead to battle courses. You can fight, right?! The last 2 open onto puzzle courses. No sweat for a great puzzle solver like you, right?! Once you choose a course, there's no turning back! The only way to know what's behind a door is to walk through it! You must pass 4 of the 6 courses to move ahead.|Narration|[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]}} | ||
The '''Six-Door Chamber''' is a series of corridors located deep within [[Bowser's Castle#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Bowser's Keep]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]]. It begins with a room of six numbered doors. Two of the doors lead to "action courses" where [[Mario]] must use his [[jump]]ing ability to navigate obstacles and enemies (which do not lead to battle encounters) and collect items, two lead to "battle courses" with a series of consecutive fights against enemies summoned by [[Wizakoopa]], and two lead to "puzzle courses" where the player is challenged by [[Dr. Topper]]. Each door's destination is randomized each playthrough. When a course is completed, the player is sent back to the room with the doors, where that course's door is then marked with an ''X''. Each course has a reward at the end, and four must be completed to progress; once the fourth is completed, the paths leading back to the room with the doors and the castle before become inaccessible until Bowser's Keep is exited upon [[Exor]]'s defeat. | |||
==Action courses== | |||
Mario gets 10 tries to get through a series of obstacle-filled rooms. If he makes 10 faults before the course is complete, he is sent back to the room with the doors. Every fault also causes a loss in [[coin]]s. | |||
