A short way through your adventure you’ll be asked to drain the sewer In Super Mario RPG. The sewer is a maze of stone walls and pipework that will baffle most players, so here’s the easiest way to do it.

Croco and Claymorton are both tough bosses to overcome, but the Kero Sewer level can be frustrating and impassible if you don’t know where to go.

You see, the sewer is a confusing labyrinth of rooms connected by pipes, doors and waterways that can leave some players going around in circles if they don’t know the correct route to follow.

Fortunately, we’ve plumbed the depths and done the aimless wandering for you so we can bring you the easiest and most efficient way to drain the sewer in Super Mario RPG and let you get back to enjoying Mario’s grand adventure.

Starting Out In The Sewer

Upon entering Kero Sewers from the World Map, Mallow will speak to you about how to descend into the underground network of grimy gutters. Jump onto the pipe in the clearing and press ‘A’ to head on in.

Don’t forget to hold your nose!

After travelling down the pipe and emerging in the sewer you can make a quick save using the save block or jump into the water to progress deeper down the tunnel.
