Hidden Treasure Boxes

Here it is, the complete list of hidden treasure boxes, all 40 some odd ones - verified by me.


Mushroom Kingdom Boxes

Inside the castle: The Treasure Box hidden inside the Mushroom Kingdom Castle can only be reached when you enter the castle for the first time. When you enter the castle and talk Toad, follow him up the stairs and jump on his head BEFORE he enters the first door. Then, jump on top of the door (there's a tiny ledge to stand on) and hop up to reveal the invisible Treasure Box. Toad won't ever return to this hall, so this is the only chance you'll get to reach this box. Good luck!

Item Shop's basement: There are two Treasure Boxes located in the basement of the Items Shop in the Mushroom Kingdom. First talk to the person in the basement and follow his orders. When he tells you to jump, you'll find the first box. Then, hop on the guy's head and when he gets to the upper right corner of the room, jump to reveal the box.

Bandit's Way

To locate the Treasure Box in Bandit's Way, enter the second screen of the area and work your way up to the upper-right corner. Jump on the red spinning flower there, then hold the Y Button and jump towards the blue flower. You'll reveal a box in mid-air.

Rose Town

One Treasure Box can be found in the Item Shop. To find it, hop on top of the book shelf in the top-left corner of the room, then jump up to reveal a box.

A commonly missed box is in the item shop. You can get it by going in through the chimney.

The other Treasure Box in Rose Town is in the top-left house. (This is the house that has a Green Exclamation Switch inside.) Go upstairs and jump on the bed to reveal a box in mid-air.

Forest Maze

The first Treasure Box is located on the first screen of the Forest Maze. Go to the far-left corner and jump up to reveal the box.

The second Treasure Box is on the fourth screen of the Forest Maze -- just after you exit the first underground section. Walk up and left from the tree stump that enters this area and jump to reveal the box.

The third, fourth and fifth Treasure Boxes in the maze are located underground: On the fifth screen of the Forest Maze, enter the lower-right tree stump. Look for the light spot down and left from the trampoline and stand on it. Jump up to reveal the Treasure Box.

Jump on the trampoline to return to the surface, then go down the middle stump on the left side. Stand in the corner that is a slightly up and left from the trampoline and jump up to reveal the Treasure Box. This box can be confusing -- it says you missed and has no contents.

Return to the surface and enter the top tree stump. Walk to the top-left corner and jump up to reveal the Treasure Box.

When you reach the Save Block on the ninth screen of the Forest Maze, walk to the top-right corner and jump up to reveal the sixth Treasure Box.

Pipe Vault

The Treasure Boxes in the Pipe Vault are located in the room with a lot of pipes. Go down the second one going towards the upper-right hand side. Go on top of the strip via the hidden block. On each fourth block there should be a treasure box when you jump.

Yo'ster Isle

The Treasure Box in Yo'ster Isle is on the screen where the Save Block is located. (Walk up out of Yo'ster Isle's main area to reach it.) Walk up and left from the Save Block and jump to reveal the Treasure Box.

Booster Pass

To find the first box, walk to the left side of the screen and stand on the bush that looks like a artichoke. Jump up to reveal the Treasure Box. (above the cave that you open by pressing the switch in Booster Tower.)

To locate the second box, go to the top-right corner of the screen (near the exit) and jump to reveal it.

Booster Tower

The first Treasure Box is located in the second room -- just after you enter the door on the top level of the room. Stand on the black square near the uppermost corner of the room and jump to reveal the box.

The second Treasure Box is found in the room above where a Thwomp sits on a teeter-totter. Stand in the bottom-left corner of the room and jump to reveal the box.

The third and fourth Treasure Boxes are in the same room as the second Save Block. Stand on top the Treasure Box in the top-left corner of room and jump up to reveal a box. Then, go the bottom-right corner of the room and jump up to reveal the other.

Marrymore

Enter the Inn and climb the stairs to the second floor, then enter the door. (You don't have to pay to enter this room). Stand in the bottom-left corner of the bedroom, on the dresser, and jump up to reveal the Treasure Box.

Sunken Ship

The Treasure Box hidden in the Sunken Ship is located in the room with the clone of Mario in it. You must jump really quickly while running to him to get on his head (in the center of the room). Jump towards the Northern wall to get it. You might also have found a block in that room, I haven't really found a purpose for it.

Land's End

The first box is located on the first screen of Land's End. (you need to come from Monstro Town or Seaside Town to enter the correct section of Land's End.) Stand on the far-left corner of the floating block and wait until it reaches its highest position, then hold Up on the Control Pad and press the Y (helps you jump farther) and B Button to find the Treasure Box.

The second Treasure Box is located on an L-shaped plateau on the second screen of Land's End. To reach it, use the cannon on the screen to launch you into the hole in the upper-right platform. Jump out of the hole and stand in the area directly in between the cannon and the hole. Jump up to find a hidden floating block. Go back to the cannon and use it to reach the floating block, then jump to the upper platform. Walk to the far-left side of the platform and jump up to reveal the Treasure Box.

The third Treasure Box is located in the top-right section of Land's End's fourth screen. Jump up between the two blue flowers to reveal the box.

The fourth box is found in the cave that smoke puffs out of. (Jump at the cave just as a puff comes out to enter it.) Once you have entered the Smoke Cave, work your way left, past three Geckos, then walk all the way up and right. Walk up and left and stand in the uppermost part of the screen (near the chow), then jump up to reveal the Treasure Box.

The fifth and sixth boxes in Land's End are found in the room after the big gate. To find one box, stand on top of the far-left visible Treasure Box and jump. To find the other, go to the bottom of the stairs and stand in the corner between the two walls. Jump up to reveal the box.

Monstro Town

There is one box in Monstro Town. In the door that exits the town, you stand between the wall and the bush and jump to reveal the box.

Bean Valley

To find the first box from the entrance of Bean Valley, take the Green Pipe on the right side of the screen. Stand in the far-left side of the screen and jump up to reveal the Treasure Box.

The second and third Treasure Boxes in Bean Valley can be found by going down pipes on the fourth screen of the area. First, enter the bottom pipe, then stand in the top-left corner of the screen and jump to reveal the Treasure Box. Then, return to the surface and go down the far-right pipe. Stand on the far-right side of the screen and jump to reveal the Treasure Box.

Nimbus Land

Item Shop: To find the hidden Treasure Box in the Item Shop, go to the left side of the room and stand on the middle box. Run towards the shop owner (hold the Y Button) and jump off the boxes to find the Treasure Box.

Castle: To find the first Treasure Box in the Nimbus Land Castle, locate the room with three doors. Stand in the top-left corner of the room and jump to reveal the box.

To reach the second box, enter the center door and walk up and right until you reach a visible Treasure Box. Stand on it and jump up to reveal a hidden box.

The third and fourth Treasure Boxes in the castle are in the room to the left of the second Save Block. To reach this room, go to the room with three doors and enter the top door. Go up and right through the next door to reach the room where these boxes are stashed. Walk down and right along the pink wall until you are one step past the wall, then jump up to reveal a Treasure Box. Next, stand at the bottom of the stairs and hold Down on your Control Pad until you enter the black area below the path. This path is at the bottom of the stairs and it is hidden. When you stop moving, hold Left on the Control Pad until you stop again, then jump up to reveal the Treasure Box there.

Smithy Factory

Work your way through the Factory until you reach the second Save Block. Walk to the bottom-left corner of the room with the Save Block, then jump up to reveal the Treasure Box.
