How to save in Super Mario RPG
To save in Super Mario RPG, simply jump on top of a ? block. These are manually strewn across the isometric world you'll traverse through the main story, providing recognisable icons for you to save your progress. They're bound to crop up most commonly before and after big battles, or before intense battle-laden gauntlets where players could well quit.
As such, all you need to do is jump on a ? block and choose to save by clicking through the appropriate menus. It's unclear whether you can have more than one save file ongoing—Super Mario Bros. Wonder doesn't contain that feature—but either way, your progress will be safe and sound.

On top of that, Super Mario RPG also has an autosave feature that expedites the need to manually save in any instance.
An icon will spin in the corner of the screen, denoting that an autosave is ongoing and advising you not to close the game at that time.
