'''Hidden Treasures''' (originally '''hidden treasures'''), alternatively called '''hidden chests'''<ref>"''Noise indicates a hidden chest.''" &ndash; Signal Ring description, ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''</ref> or '''Surprise Boxes''',<ref>"''Sometimes if you jump at the right places, a treasure box will pop out of thin air. Anything like this happen to you? These treasure boxes are known as “Surprise Boxes”, because they appear out of nowhere.''" &ndash; '''[[Comeon|Chester]]''', ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''</ref> are invisible [[treasure chest|treasure box]]es in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. The magic that cloaks these treasure boxes is of unknown origin.<ref>Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller. ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide. Page 9. "''Magic of an unknown origin cloaks 39 Treasure Boxes that float unseen overhead in Mario's world.''"</ref> [[Mario]] learns about Hidden Treasures from an old [[Toad (species)|Mushroom person]] living in the basement of the [[Item Shop]] in the [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]]. By [[jump]]ing, Mario can discover the location of the invisible treasures. 39 of them are found in the game. A friendly [[Comeon]] in [[Monstro Town]] provides Mario the number of Hidden Treasures left to be found. Later in the game, Mario can collect and equip an accessory from [[Croco]], the [[Signal Ring]], which makes a noise whenever Mario is in an area with a Hidden Treasure. There is no reward for opening every Hidden Treasure, and the Comeon from Monstro Town says, "''Wow, you found them all,''" for doing so.

The concept of hidden containers is carried over with [[Hidden Block]]s in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' games]] and ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' games.

|'''[[Missable content|In the original, this Hidden Treasure can only be opened the first time Mario enters the castle.]]''' When Mario sees [[Toad]], he should jump on his head. As Toad approaches the door, the player should jump up from him to the platform above the doorway. Jumping at the center of the platform reveals the Hidden Treasure.

In [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|the remake]], the player can get the chest at any time by jumping on a mushroom person's head and jumping up to it.
