What to use Frog Coins on in Super Mario RPG

You can find Frog Coins anywhere in Super Mario RPG, whether it’s from the casino, powerful monsters, or invisible treasure chests.

There are two places to spend these precious Frog Coins: one is available right away and another shows up a bit later in the game.

Below, we list where to use your Frog Coins in Super Mario RPG.

Tadpole Pond Frog Coin shop

From the Tadpole Pond entrance, head left and a few tadpoles will stick their heads out of the water. One of them runs the Juice Bar (the place you can shop for if you complete the Melody Bay puzzles), and the other runs the Frog Coin shop.

Seaside Town Frog Coin shop

Head upstairs in the Seaside Town elder’s house (in the back left of the town) to see a frog sitting at the table. They’ll sell you more items.
