"Better yet, why don't you give me YOUR stars? Then I could easily conquer this world! We could get rid of all wishes and create a world filled with...WEAPONS!"
—Smithy

Smithy is the leader of the Smithy Gang and the primary antagonist of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its 2023 remake. He is a corrupt tyrant who wishes to get rid of wishes, and overwhelm the world with weapons.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

In the Nintendo Player's Guide, Smithy is described as looking like a diabolical Santa Claus, possibly due to his white facial features, including a long beard, thick eyebrows, and curly hair. Smithy has a gray, metallic body and red eyes. He always wears a yellow crown, even in his alternate forms, and carries a large hammer around with him.

In the Remake, Smithy looks almost identical to his original SNES Counter-Part, except he has visible red boots at the bottom

Personality traits[]

Smithy is an evil megalomaniac blacksmith who uses his enormous hammer to create soldiers using his machine, Smelter. At first, Smithy was shown to be a calm and collected leader, but was soon revealed to be very short-tempered, as when Mario won in the first battle against him, Smithy's temper drives him to not only destroy his Factory but also three of his henchmen who are trying to calm him.

Smithy's ultimate goal is to achieve world conquest through his own army, Smithy Gang, confident that his weapons can serve as the basis of his power. It is unknown as to why he desires this, although a statement suggests that he wants all life to be like his world: dead, mechanical, and under his rule. Smithy seems to especially despise the Star Road and its power of granting wishes, knowing it has the power to stop his reign.

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[]

Smithy battle

Smithy attempted to invade the Mushroom Kingdom, by driving his sword, Exor, into Bowser's Keep, crashing through the Star Road in the process.

Smithy initially appears as a large robotic entity with a crown, and a snowy white beard. After being defeated, he smashes the floor in a rage, and destroys the floor of the factory, plunging everyone into a setting that represents a subterranean mechanical Hell. It is there that he reveals his true form, and transforms his head into a large, toaster-shaped head.

In this form, Smithy is able to change his head into four different heads. The Tank Head allows him to use immensely powerful attacks, including Magnum, an instant death attack. The Magic Head gives him magic attacks of the highest level, among which include Meteor Swarm, Arrow Rain, Sword Rain, and Spear Rain. The Mask Head is not very powerful, but it has a very high Defense rating, being able to thwart most attacks. The Treasure Chest Head allows Smithy to inflict any status ailment upon the entire party. In addition to this, Smithy's Body can attack separately, but if it takes enough damage, Smithy's Body becomes temporarily immobilized, stopping it from attacking and locking Smithy into his current form for several turns. When Mario's party defeat Smithy, he explodes.

Smithy is briefly seen riding the Blade in the ending parade, behind Mack, Bowyer, and Yaridovich. He can be seen yelling at the three of them while bonking their heads with a sledgehammer.

Battle[]

In both Super Mario RPG: Legend of The Seven Stars and its 2023 Remake Super Mario RPG, Smithy serves as the fourth/final boss of the Factory, is the six/final Chapter Boss and is overall the twenty-sixth boss of the games.

Phase 1[]

In the first phase, Smithy mainly attacks by using the move Sledge which causes damage to all players. He also has the ability to launch out rapid fire bullets from his fingers (which he rarely uses), create many Shysters that can use the move Arrow Rain to inflict damage and can also use Meteor Swarm. The Smelter is also an target which aids Smithy in his creation of the Shysters.

Tips[]

For the first phase, Mario and his team should focus on Smithy and him alone. The Smelter has 1500 HP while Smithy himself has 2000 HP so it is wise to focus all strong attacks to bring his HP down. Peach equipped with the Lazy Shell armor should work wonders as she must focus mainly on healing. Bowser is also a helpful ally especially with his Drill Claw move.

Phase 2[]

During the second phase, Smithy retains his attacks from his first fight, but can now change his head four different times all having different moves:

  • Tank Head: Smithy's most defensive head. The tank head can also use a dangerous move called Magnum which has the possibility of defeating one of Mario's partners in one hit.
  • Magic Head: Smithy's head that has the most magic attack power. This head can use a variety of moves such as Dark Star and Sword Rain.
  • Treasure Head: Smithy's most mystical head. Whenever it attacks, something random happens such as a move that could poison all of Mario's party.
  • Masked Head: Smithy's main head of healing. It can use the healing moves Recover and Mega Recover.

Strategy[]

All of Smithy's heads except the Magic Head have a weakness. The tank head is thunder, the treasure head is fire, and the masked head is ice. It should be noted that Smithy defense is much weaker in his Magic Head form so it would be wise to attack all out once it appears. Mario should stick to Lazy Shell unless Smithy turns into the Treasure Head which he should use Mega Flame. Bowser should stay offensive with Drill Claw while Peach heals. Peach equipped with the Lazy Shell armor and the Safety Pin will make her a useful ally.
