Going on an adventure with a brightly dressed plumber, a sentient puffball, and a possessed doll sounds like a great time but you will get some bumps and bruises along the way. You wouldn’t want your journey to get cut short, so learning how to heal in Super Mario RPG should be a top priority.
The original Super Mario RPG was released back in 1996 and tells the story of Mario and his friends taking on the Smithy Gang. With the arrival of its remake, a new generation of gamers can experience Super Mario RPG with updated visuals and enhanced gameplay mechanics.

How to heal in Super Mario RPG
Just like most role-playing games, Super Mario RPG will provide you with several methods of keeping your party alive and well. You can heal through things like items, abilities, and inns.

What’s an adventure game without a few consumables to keep your health topped up? Healing items will be the most common source of HP recovery and you can obtain them from battle or purchase them from shops.
And since this is a Super Mario game, you’ll be relying mostly on Mushrooms to stay healthy.
Abilities
As you progress through the game, your little band of adventurers will slowly start to grow. Each new addition to your team will bring its own unique set of abilities, some of which can restore HP.
Since Mallow joins your party early on in the game, one of the first healing abilities you’ll gain access to is his HP Rain. Eventually, Peach will also join your squad, having even more useful healing abilities.
Inns
Part of an RPG’s appeal is the opportunity to explore an entirely new world. You’ll come across many different settlements on your travels, and some of them may have an inn where you can rest.
If you do decide to take a break from adventuring at one of these inns, your party’s HP and FP will be fully restored.
Levelling up
Having a character level up will increase their stats and occasionally unlock new abilities. It will also recover that character’s HP and FP back to full.
This isn’t a very reliable source of healing during your adventure, but it is something you should take note of. Keeping this in mind could help you reserve some of your resources.
