When you reach Monstro Town in Super Mario RPG, you can sleep in a bed for free. When you do this, you’ll be met by The Three Musty Fears. Although you’re asleep, they’ll ask you to play a game with them. They will hide three flags around the world, and you must find them. If you do, you’ll get an exceptional prize, the Ghost Medal, which doubles your defense! The Flags can be found in the following locations: Mario’s Pad, Rose Town, and Yo’ster Island. If you want further details, read on.

The Three Musty Fears Minigame Reward¶

Now that you have all three flags, head back to Monstro Town, enter the third door, and select the mushroom in the corner to go to sleep. Once again, the three will visit you again, and thank you for playing their game before giving you your prize. This won’t appear on the screen, but you will hear a noise, and when you check your equipment, you’ll have the Ghost Medal equipped. This powerful accessory doubles your defense when you’re in combat, a must-have for the more difficult battles in the game, such as the Jinx battle upstairs.
