The '''Axem Rangers''' are a team of teenage<ref>{{cite|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|page=4}}</ref> warriors within the [[Smithy Gang]] and appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)| | The '''Axem Rangers''' are a team of teenage<ref>{{cite|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|page=4}}</ref> warriors within the [[Smithy Gang]] and appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. There are five members, each with their own distinct traits and abilities. Each member has a similar trait to any one member of [[Mario]]'s group: Black has high speed and fights mainly with non-elemental special attacks like Geno, Green specializes in elemental magic but lacks physical strength like Mallow, Pink is female and uses both healing and status-affecting magic while having the lowest attack and HP like Peach, Yellow is the bulkiest member while boasting the highest physical attack and defense like Bowser, and Red is the leader while being a balanced fighter like Mario. However, all five of them wield a small axe in combat. Additionally, the Axem Rangers have their own battleship, aptly named [[the Blade]]. [[Axem Red]] is the leader of the group. The Axem Rangers are a parody of the ''{{wp|Super Sentai}}'' series in Japan, which is the basis for the ''{{wp|Power Rangers}}'' series in the United States. | ||

Their presence is mentioned once by Speardovich, but don’t debut until the very end of the sixth [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]] arc. After Mario and company journey through [[Barrel Volcano]] and defeat the [[Czar Dragon]], they discover the star piece seemingly unguarded. Mario attempts to collect it in the usual fashion but is thwarted by Axem Red, who steals the star at the very last second before Mario can touch it. The Axem Rangers then each appear, introducing themselves with catchphrases and action poses, satirizing the classical depiction of superheroes and supervillains in mainstream media. Followed closely by Mario & co., the Axem Rangers escape to their battleship, the Blade, and are officially encountered outside the volcano once Mario [[jump]]s onto the deck of the airship. | ||
As a boss fight, the Axem Rangers present multiple targets for the player to consider attacking. Once defeated, each Ranger has a brief dialogue with Axem Red and then stops taking their turn despite remaining present on the battlefield. Once all five HPs have reached 0, the Axem Rangers then combine their HPs into a single 999-point health bar representing the Blade's core power source, which only attacks with the devastating [[Breaker Beam]] and marks the last enemy to be defeated as part of the game’s story before Mario & company finally make it back to Bowser’s Keep for the end of the game. Monochromatic versions of the Axem Rangers called [[Machine Made]]s are encountered in the [[Weapon World]], each resembling one of the original Axem Rangers in appearance, stats, and moveset. | As a boss fight, the Axem Rangers present multiple targets for the player to consider attacking.

*In the English [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version, the Blade is mistakenly referred to as "Axem Rangers". The player actually fights the ship, not their combined forces. This is given the appropriate label in the remake. | *In the English [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version, the Blade is mistakenly referred to as "Axem Rangers".
