{{quote|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 Trial Course'''<ref name=FE2>''Super Mario RPG'' Final Edition, page 2.</ref> is a series of corridors located deep within [[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 known as the '''Six-Door Chamber'''. 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 Six-Door Chamber, 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 Six-Door Chamber. Every fault also causes a loss in [[coin]]s.
===Action course 1===
The reward is the [[Sonic Cymbals]].

====Room 1====
A series of rising-and-falling gray [[tile]]s between a stone overhang and a [[lava]] pit must be jumped across. A [[treasure chest|treasure box]] on top of the overhang contains a [[Croaka Cola]].

====Room 2====
Mario must balance on an iron ball to jump to high places as two [[Bob-omb]]s loosely pursue him, exploding if they touch him off the ball. Eight large coins are in the air. Treasure boxes contain a [[Pick Me Up]], a [[Ultra Mushroom|Max Mushroom]], a [[Rock Candy (item)|Rock Candy]], and two [[Flower (Super Mario RPG)|Flower]]s.

====Room 3====
Two gray tiles rotate around each other when stood upon, shown previously in [[Bandit's Way]]. This time, however, they are over an enormous lava pit. Treasure boxes contain a [[Royal Syrup]], a [[Fire Bomb]], a Pick Me Up, a Croaka Cola, and two Flowers.

===Action course 2===
The reward is the [[Super Slap]].

====Room 1====
An invisible maze is suspended over lava. It becomes visible for an instant when jumped upon, which is demonstrated by three [[Terrapin]]s that briskly move from the beginning to the end ahead of Mario. Four large coins are in the air over the maze. Treasure boxes contain a [[Fright Bomb]], an [[Ice Bomb]], a Royal Syrup, and a Rock Candy.

====Room 2====
Several gray tiles move back and forth laterally across a lava pit, stopping while Mario jumps. Treasure boxes contain a Max Mushroom, a [[Red Essence]], a Fire Bomb, and a Flower.

====Room 3====
A [[Guerrilla]] imitates [[Donkey Kong]], throwing [[barrel]]s down an isometric room similar to [[25m]] from ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', though without slopes or ladders. Once Mario reaches the Guerrilla at the top, it flees down the side.

==Battle courses==
Wizakoopa spawns an enemy at each pair of statues, leading to an encounter against a group of standard enemies.

==Puzzle courses==
[[Dr. Topper]] challenges [[Mario]] to solve his brainteasers. Failure puts Mario back in the Six-Door Chamber.
===Puzzle course 1===
The reward is a Rock Candy.

====Room 1====
Mario and Dr. Topper take turns hitting a coin-filled treasure box up to four times in a row, trying to avoid collecting the 21st coin.

====Room 2====
Dr. Topper introduces Mario to a game called Magic Buttons. Mario needs to depress a 4×4 group of 16 [[! Switch|button]]s, each of which inverts the state of all cardinally surrounding buttons.

====Room 3====
Dr. Topper has Mario play Ball Solitaire. Mario must kick iron balls into bouncing over each other, like in {{wp|checkers}}, to reduce a 4×4 grid of 15 balls to one. It is an automatic failure if a ball is made to leapfrog over two at once or it bounces over nothing.

===Puzzle course 2===
The reward is a Rock Candy.

====Room 1====
Dr. Topper gives Mario a trivia quiz consisting of 12 questions about the game, chosen randomly from a pool of 40 (41 in the remake). Mario has five seconds to answer each, with correct answers raising the tile he stands on by one step, wrong answers lowering it by two, and timing out lowering it by one. The goal is eight steps high. All the questions and the possible answers to each are listed below. The correct answers are highlighted in green.

====Room 2====
Dr. Topper shows a small pile of barrels for 10 seconds and has Mario count them, including the ones hidden by the camera angle, before Dr. Topper hides them again and has him give an answer. If Mario is correct, he moves on to a much larger pile, which Dr. Topper gives him 20 seconds to count. Both numbers of barrels vary each play.

====Room 3====
Dr. Topper introduces [[Boo, Goo, Bones, and Kipp]], who took part in a triathlon of swimming, cycling, and a marathon. He has Mario interview each to determine what order they finished in. Once Mario has an answer, Dr. Topper has him speak to them again in the order they came in. The one in first place says they outrode another during cycling and were never passed by them, the one in second says they fell into fourth during cycling but had a shared higher position in the other events, the one in third says they got the same position in swimming and cycling but were beaten by two in the marathon, and the one in fourth says they placed third in swimming.

==Notes==
*In [[Dr. Topper]]'s trivia quiz, two direct references to the ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'' series are made in the Japanese version. When Dr. Topper asks which monster appears first in the [[Pipe Vault]], one of the possible answers is "Exdeath," the villain of ''{{wp|Final Fantasy V}}'', and when he asks who the ultimate enemy of the adventure is, a possible answer is "{{wp|Kefka Palazzo|Kefka}}," the villain of ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VI}}''. In the English translation, these choices were replaced with "[[Nipper Plant|Chompweed]]" and "[[Goomba]]," respectively. In the remake, every new translation is closer to the English version here to seemingly avoid these ''Final Fantasy'' references, with the exception of the Korean version retaining the reference to Exdeath (the other answer is instead "the [[Frog Sage]]").
*The same ultimate enemy question also has "[[Luigi]]" as a possible answer in the Japanese version, which is instead "[[Bowser]]" in the English version. The remake's Eastern-language translations (Chinese and Korean) use "Luigi," whereas the Western-language translations (Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Dutch) use "Bowser."
*In the English version and most translations, Dr. Topper asks, "How many legs does [[Wiggler]] have?" The correct answer is "six" to match Wigglers' in-game version, although their artwork depicts them with the usual eight legs. In the Japanese version and the Chinese, Korean, and German translations, the question instead asked is which [[Thropher|endearing monster]] was at [[Star Hill]].
