Knife Guy and Grate Guy must be defeated as part of the main story first before you can begin to access the Casino. Knife Guy will stay at the Booster Tower after the fight.

Before going to Grate Guy's Casino, you will need to acquire a Bright Card from Knife Guy as proof of your membership.

3. Access the Secret Passage in Bean Valley

Super Mario RPG Remake - Defeat the Pirahna Plant and Enter the Pipe

4. Defeat Chomp Chomp and Reveal the Platform

Defeat Chomp Chomp Jump Three Times at the Edge

Inside the pipe is an area consisting of different enemies. Head over to the end of the area where a Chomp Chomp resides and defeat it.

Then, at the corner located to the left of the Chomp Chomp, jump three times to reveal an invisible platform; it will make a sound indicating a secret each time. Jump over the platform and then jump over to the ledge. Just head over to the revealed entrance to gain access to Grate Guy's Casino.

Get Tips on How to Get to the Casino in Nimbus Land

If you talk to the Toad sleeping in the Nimbus Land inn, you'll get hints on how to get to the casino. The hints include information such as '3 jumps' and 'Bright Card'.

5. Use Your Bright Card to Get Inside

You'll need the Bright Card to enter the Casino, so even if you've unlocked it, you won't be able to enter if you aren't carrying your Bright Card. It's possible to sell your Bright Card for 777 coins to a shop, which will make the Casino permanently inaccessible, or for up to 10 Frog Coins to an Elderly Toad at Marrymore Inn, but this will lock you out of the Casino unless you buy it back from him for 15 Frog Coins, so be careful before you part with it.

Grate Guy's Casino Minigames

Three Games are Available

Super Mario RPG Remake - Grate Guy

Grate Guy's Casino contains three minigames that you can play and get rewards. One of these rewards is the Star Egg, a reusable item that deals damage to all enemies.

  • Look the Other Way
  • Memory Game
  • Prize Blocks

Unlike the Casino in the original game, which asked the player to bet Frog Coins, all the games are now completely free to play, so players can simply farm items here with no regrets.

How to Win Look the Other Way and Rewards

Guess Grate Guy's Direction to Win

Super Mario RPG Remake - Look the Other Way

This game is unlocked when Mario talks to Grate Guy three times. On the third time, he'll invite you to play Look the Other Way.

To play the game, Mario simply has to look in the opposite direction of where Grate Guy will raise his finger.

There are only two directions to look in this game: Left and Right, giving Mario a 50% chance of winning. Winning this game 100 times will net you the Star Egg, a powerful reusable battle item. The game is entirely luck, so just keep playing until you rack up 100 wins.

Look the Other Way Rewards

Minigame Rewards (1 Random Item)
Wilt Shroom x1
Moldy Mush x1
Royal Syrup x1
Croaka Cola x1
Rock Candy x1
Minigame Reward (100 Wins)
Star Egg x1

Winning the Look the Other Way minigame will net random rewards. The most valuable item that can be obtained from playing Look the Other Way 100 times is the Star Egg.

The Star Egg is a reusable item that can be used in battle to deal damage to all enemies, helpful in boss fights such as Culex.

How to Win Memory Game and Rewards

Memorize the Positions of Your Party to Win

Super Mario RPG Remake - Memory Game

Everyone's position is randomized per round.

The memory game is played by memorizing the cards and successfully selecting which of the cards shows the characters that the dealer asks. Selecting three cards correctly three in a row will net you rewards, but failing once will cause you to start over again.

This game replaces Blackjack from the original game, which may have been considered too risque for modern youth-oriented games.

Memory Game Rewards

Minigame Rewards (1 Random Item)
Cleansing Juice x1
Party Cleanse x1
Royal Syrup x1
Maple Syrup x1
Finless Cola x1

Winning the Memory Game will earn you random items listed in the table above as rewards. There are several rare recovery items available, and the game is very short and easy, making this a great spot to farm useful items for the endgame.

How to Win Prize Blocks and Rewards

Time Your Jumps with the 3 Symbols to Win

Super Mario RPG Remake - Prize Blocks

Jump and hit the floating Treasure Box once to start the game, and then jump three times while trying to match the symbols.

Since the symbols move very quickly, especially on the 2nd and 3rd slots, we've found that it's better to watch for the symbol coming one before in the pattern for the 2nd slot, and watch for the symbol coming two before in the pattern for the 3rd slot.

Matching 3 symbols will net you rewards. Match less than that or none at all and you will get no rewards.

Prize Blocks Rewards

Minigame Rewards
Match 3 Mushrooms Mushroom x1
Match 3 Flowers Honey Syrup x1
Match 3 Stars Energizer x1

Matching 3 mushrooms will earn you a Mushroom, matching 3 flowers will earn you a Honey Syrup, and matching 3 stars will earn you an Energizer. Prize Blocks is quite tricky, and the rewards aren't amazing, so it's more worth your time overall to play the Memory Game.
