The '''Midas River''' is a large river 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, also known as '''Midas Waterfall'''.<ref>Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller.

The falls are segmented and feature the first nonstandard gameplay section. After [[Toad]] appears and the player accepts or rejects his explanation, Mario is carried by the downward current. It is possible to swim slightly upstream for a moment so as to slow down Mario's fall. Mario can try to grab coins and [[Frog Coin]]s scattered all around the surface of the water. Holes are visible behind the waterfall as Mario descends; entering one results in a brief scene playing that can result in the player recovering [[Flower Point|FP]] or gaining or losing coins, among other effects. Up to 36 coins can be collected. | The falls are segmented and feature the first nonstandard gameplay section.
