*In the first room of the tower, there is a row of paintings. Later on, there is another row of paintings, where the player has to select them in the order they are found in the first room.

As expected from the view of outside, the inside of Booster Tower is huge, with many rooms and floors. In the upper level of the first room there are photos of the seven generations of Boosters. The inside is also full of [[Snifit]]s, [[Bob-omb]]s, and [[Chain Chomp]]s. There are many hidden treasures located inside Booster Tower, including many [[coin]]s and [[Frog Coin]]s and an item called the [[Goodie Bag]], which when used during battle, adds more coins to the player's total after winning the battle, and can also be sold for 555 coins. There is also a new hammer for [[Mario]] called the [[Masher]], and also a female Chomp that was locked up for biting Booster. Bowser tames this Chomp and uses her as a weapon for battle. | As expected from the view of outside, the inside of Booster Tower is huge, with many rooms and floors.

One minor Easter egg exists partway up the tower, in a room with two curtains and a pillar. Going behind the curtains will briefly turn Mario into 8-bit Super Mario; but this can be done only once. When Mario attempts to leave the room, he will react in shock and shrink to regular size (similar to how he loses a life in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''), then run back behind the curtain. The "lost a life" theme plays as he steps back into the room. He pauses, looks down, and then shakes his head as if trying to dispel a hallucination. In the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake of ''[[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Super Mario RPG]]'', going behind the curtains will also turn Mario into 8-bit Super Mario, albeit with a darker color palette. | One minor Easter egg exists partway up the tower, in a room with two curtains and a pillar.
