→‎Names in other languages: Seems the second name is just missing from these versions (and it was a missed opportunity to bring back the "Mayoi no Mori" pre-release name that Forest Maze was obviously translated from, but I digress).

It includes some underground caverns accessed by traveling down tree stumps as well as some regular forested areas, but the main part is a maze infested with unlimited enemies. Also scattered throughout the forest are [[Mushroom]]s that the player can collect.
-After [[Gaz]]'s [[Geno]] doll is possessed by ♡♪!?, he walks out of [[Rose Town]] and into the Forest Maze. [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]], upon hearing this from Gaz, give chase to the doll. They eventually arrive at a a part of the forest that is taken over by [[Bowyer]], a bow-like creature that is shooting [[Aero]]s at Rose Town. While Mario and Mallow spy on Bowyer, an Aero arrives and presents Bowyer with one of the [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Piece]]s. However, it is at this moment that Geno shows up, and attempts to fight Bowyer. With help from Mario and Mallow, Geno is able to defeat Bowyer and claim the second Star Piece. Afterward, Geno decides to join Mallow and Mario in claiming the remaining Star Pieces to repair [[Star Road (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Road]].

+The "maze" portion of the forest is navigated by following Geno at first. Eventually, however, he stops appearing. At this point, however, the player is close enough to Bowyer to judge where to go based on the trajectory of the falling Aeros. If a wrong turn is made, the player starts back at the beginning. If the player helps the Toad in Rose Town get back to his house and apologizes for taking his treasures if the player opened any of the [[Treasure chest#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|treasure boxes]] inside, the Toad gives directions to a secret area inside the Forest Maze. In the "maze" portion, by going left, left, straight, and right in relation to Mario's perspective, it leads to the Treasure Room.<ref>Miller, K. 1996. ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Nintendo Player's Guide'', pg 37.</ref> The room contains two [[Flower (Super Mario RPG)|flowers]], two [[Mushroom#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|mushrooms]] that restores the party's HP and FP, and a [[Frog Coin]].
 Later, in [[Seaside Town]], there is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] called the [[Mushroom Boy]] that can taste a Mushroom collected here or bought to see if it is a rare Mushroom.
-In the children's book, ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'', Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Toad]] go to Forest Maze in search for one of the six magic mushrooms. After finding the orange mushroom, the trio fights two [[Hammer Bros.]]

 ==Music==
-{{SMRPGmap}}
+On the ''[[Super Mario RPG Original Sound Version]]'' soundtrack, the music for the Forest Maze is titled 森のキノコにご用心 (''Mori no Kinoko ni Go Yōjin''), which is translated into "Beware of [[Amanita|Forest Mushrooms]]" in the remake's [[Sound Player]].
-The music of the Forest Maze is famous among players of the game, and was chosen as track four in the arranged version of the ''Super Mario RPG'' soundtrack. Only five tracks were included. In the music, many birds may be heard chirping. On both soundtracks, the music was titled "Beware the Forest's [[Amanita|Mushrooms]]!"
-A few notes of the track can be heard in the [[Toad Town]] and [[Peach's Castle]] themes in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. Being that Yoko Shimomura is responsible both for ''Super Mario RPG''{{'}}s music and the music in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series music, it is possible that this is intentional.
