The '''Bolt''' is a magic attack used by many enemies and bosses in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. The attack consists of a single bolt of blue lightning that strikes a single character. In the original, as it was a magic attack, it could not be blocked by timing, though as Bolt is elemental, it could be stopped by elemental immunity from equipment such as the [[Safety Ring (Super Mario RPG)|Safety Ring]].

In the remake, Bolt can be blocked; the block is done right as the bolt generates to hit the target immediately, which can be tricky to manage and thereby makes Bolt a notable threat to the player's Chain and [[Ally Buff]]s. Knowing when to block is generally accomplished by working off of the caster's own tells. The known list of when to block is as follows:
*Boo: at the end of his scary face
*Bowyer: when his finger flick is done
*Lakitu: when his arms are fully thrust forward
*Orb User: at the end of the orb's flashing
*Snifster/Apprentice: as his right arm is forward during his arm dancing
*Pulsar: as the mini-circle's spin slows down to end
*Leuko: upon the second moving up of his tentacles
*Octovader: at the end of an abrupt turn toward his target
*Gassox: when his mouth opens
*Mallow Clone: right at the end of his spinning movement for casting
