Super Mario RPG/Characters: Difference between revisions

 

* [[Cowardly Boss]]: A variation, he runs from you after stealing and you have to chase him down, but once you engage him he stands and fights.

* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Eventually.

A [[Shark Man]] pirate living in a sunken ship off the coast of Seaside Town, the fifth Star Piece fell into his realm.

 

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Though he doesn't join the party.

* [[Duel Boss]]: Optional. He challenges Mario to a one-on-one fight, but only if the player kills off all his [[Mook]] henchmen.

* [[Fluffy the Terrible]]: Of the [[Bilingual Bonus]] variety. His name is Latin for "mosquito."

** Which itself is a shout out to [[Final Fantasy IV]]'s Golbez, who was named after a type of fly. Oh, and is possibly the most competent [[Final Fantasy]] {{spoiler|not-quite-}}villain.

* [[Musical Nod]]: The Prelude and victory fanfare from the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series in general, and the track that plays when you fight him is ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'''s boss theme.

* [[Shout-Out]]: His entire existence is one giant [[Mythology Gag]] about ''Final Fantasy''.

* [[Badass Cape]]

* [[Disc One Final Boss]]

* [[Goomba Stomp]]: His and the Shypers' preferred method of attack.

* [[Knife Nut]]

* [[Cool Shades]]/[[Sinister Shades]]: Axem Black. He even gets upset when they break when he's defeated.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Whenever a Star Piece is located it rises up, spins around Mario's head for several seconds and then drops into his hands. The Axem Rangers snatch the star during the process, leaving Mario to look around wondering what happened before he notices them.

** [[Big Bad|The Leader]]: Axem Red

** [[The Dragon|Second-In-Command]]: Axem Black (he's a parody of [[The Lancer|Lancers]])

* [[Enemy Summoner]]: Smelter spits out a blob of goo, Smithy pounds it into a [[Mook]] to assist him. Rinse, repeat. And, if the conveyor belts running out of his lair are an indicator, Smithy also personally created ''every other member'' of the Smithy Gang himself. Thankfully, those Machine Made copies of the gang's elite members aren't called in to help him during the final battles.

* [[Evil Overlord]]

* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: The Mask Head is weak against ice, the Tank Head is weak against electricity, and the Treasure Head is weak against fire.

* [[Flat Character]]: He's given very little backstory and personality besides being a distant [[Evil Overlord]] who wants to conquer the world. He says his desire is to fill the world with his weapons, and he actively hopes the Star Road is not repaired and that wishes will continue to go ungranted, but aside from [[For the Evulz|The Evulz]] he doesn't express much reason for doing what he does.
