Midas River is a large river that is fed by Midas Waterfall; it is seen in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. When Mario and Mallow are flushed out of the Kero Sewers, they end up being flung down the falls. They land on a barrel floating in the river, and ride it to the end, collecting coins along the way. The path from Midas River leads to Tadpole Pond. The name "Midas" comes from the Greek mythological character King Midas, who turned everything he touched into gold, which is fitting since many gold coins can be collected in the river.
Participating in a barrel jumping event, Mario collects many coins by jumping between barrels. There are two "lanes", which can be switched between by bumping into barrels. Certain lanes have more coins than others. Bumping into one of the river's irritable jumping fish will result in Mario losing coins. In the original version of the game, fish can only come from the front; in the remake, they can come also come from behind.
A Mushroom person waits at the course's end, trading 50 Coins for one Frog Coin. When clearing the course for the first time, he will also give Mario a Koopa Shell.
The bucket in Moleville serves as a warp to the Midas River. If it is accessed this way, the Mushroom person at the bottom of the river will be absent, leaving a note saying that the course is closed for the day; reading the note will give the player any coins they earned on the course to keep.
This river briefly reappears in the short book, Mario and the Incredible Rescue, where Mario, Luigi and Toad pass through here to reach Tadpole Pond.
