Brain Lord (Super Famicom)
Hidden rooms, missed items and puzzles
How to find hidden rooms and the order for number inputs. Directions use in-game locations and items, without adopting strategy sources' custom room numbers or map images.
Scope: Japanese Super Famicom version (released January 29, 1994) / Content checked: October 2, 2026
Puzzles solved with numbers
| Location or landmark | Input order | After opening it |
|---|---|---|
| Ancient Ruins 2F: numbered switches | 2→5→3 | Take the Boomerang. |
| Ancient Ruins: tablet with a number of days | 3→6→5 | Leave and re-enter if you press the same number twice. |
| Ancient Ruins 4F: six switches | 4→1→2→6 | Collect the Research Room Key. |
Collection check before finishing the Ice Castle
- Secure the Fire Sword and Stop first, as both are used for progression.
- Check the Spike Boots, Heavy Maul, Heavy Blow, equipment chests and Jades available in town before entering the boss room.
- Do not leave only a checklist for later on the assumption that you can return to the same chests after finishing the castle.
If you get lost in Platinum's darkness
- Instead of relying only on the light fairy to see walls, cast Ghost and check the spaces its light passes through.
- Follow the walls and remember your way back using visible enemies and door positions as landmarks.
- Return and Warp Gates do not work in this section, so reach a safe statue before saving.
- Receive Feather on 4F, then use it on 2F. Do not keep searching the lower floors without first obtaining what you need to cross holes.
Items needing further verification
- Cross-checking is ongoing for confirmed Japanese-version weapon attack and armor defense values, all enemy resistances, conditions and prizes for every arena match, and the locations of all Hearts and Jades.
- Boss-name variants and each form's HP remain on hold; differently named references are not added as separate bosses.
- Unnamed equipment that appears only in modified saves is not included in the normal collection list.
