Soon after leaving Moleville during Mario and the gang's adventure in Super Mario RPG, players will end up in a new location called Booster Pass. This area is not that large, but it does contain two hidden treasures and leads into a major area: Booster Tower. Princess Peach is being held at the top of this establishment by Booster, and players will need to make it to the top. Right before players enter the tower, they will get to recruit Bowser to their party.

After making some progress in Booster Tower, players will eventually reach a save point room that leads to another room with a locked door that requires a key to open. To the right of the door is a note that says, "Take a look at Booster's family portraits in order from the oldest to the youngest." To the right of the note, players will see six portraits. These pictures will need to be interacted with from oldest to youngest. Players must fight an enemy if they choose the wrong portrait, so this guide will show Super Mario RPG fanshow to solve the Booster Tower portraits puzzle.
