How to Get Frog Coins in Super Mario RPG
There are several ways through which you can earn and even farm Frog Coins
- Find Hidden Chests: There are many treasure chests hidden across the different regions of this game. While not every one of them will reward you with these coins, plenty of them still do. Finding them is useful as you can also get other useful items from them.
- Defeat Enemies: Throughout your playthrough, you will battle several enemies. After you defeat them, many will drop coins. So if you are looking to grind them make sure to find the ones that are tougher than the rest and once you defeat them they are sure to drop these coins.
- Play Mini-games: There are two mini-games through which you can earn frog coins the Midas River mini-game and the Paratroopa Cliff Scale mini-game. Out of the two, the former is better as not only do you see these coins spawn but after it is over you get the option to trade your regular coins for more Frog Coins.
