'''Booster''' is a character | '''Booster''' is a character from ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' who lives in [[Booster Tower]] with three [[Snifster]]s. He is of the seventh and current generation of Boosters. Despite his wealth, Booster would rather have fun and spend his days playing with his Snifsters and others he invites to his tower. | ||

When [[Exor]] crashes into [[Bowser's Castle#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Bowser's Keep]], [[Mario]], [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach]] are sent flying in different directions. While Mario lands safely at [[Mario Bros.' House|his house]], Peach lands at Booster's Tower. In response to this, Booster decides he must marry this woman who fell from the sky. Booster locks Peach on the balcony of his tower, waiting until the time is right to marry her, despite her constant cries for help. | When [[Exor]] crashes into [[Bowser's Castle#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Bowser's Keep]], [[Mario]], [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach]] are sent flying in different directions.

In the ending, the two are wed with [[Dodo]] presiding over the wedding. Booster seems to get nervous with Valentina constantly getting closer to him, and he flees the wedding. In the [[parade]] during the credits, Booster rides his train. He notices that his Snifsters are chasing after a [[Beetle (Super Mario RPG)|beetle]] and jumps out of the train to join them. Afterwards, he rides in the [[Koopa Clown Car]] as Bowser chases after him. | In the ending, the two are wed with [[Dodo]] presiding over the wedding.

==Personality== | |||
Booster is an eccentric and immature figure, relying on his [[Snifster]]s to do all his work and explain things to him. He has a collection of dolls that he likes to play with, using these to rehearse real-world scenarios, and designs his tower around various child-oriented attractions, most prominently a ridable toy train that he uses to traverse the area. He tends to be ignorant and/or naïve much of the time, thinking that Peach's calls for help are her way of expressing happiness, only realizing the truth when he encounters Mario the second time. Furthermore, when Peach is crying at Marrymore, he believes that she's leaking fluid, and his Snifsters have to explain that she's upset. He thinks drinking punch and eating cake is complicated and proposes to boil the wedding cake in order to eat it. Despite his character arc revolving around his desire for a wife, he seems to display little interest in romance and is more interested in the rites and rituals of marriage, which he treats as a game. As soon as he eats [[Cake (boss)|Raspberry]], he considers his wedding to Peach successfully over, despite the fact that no ceremony was held, and he leaves Peach behind, not understanding that a marriage involves a couple living together after the fact. | |||

On top of having an entire tower dedicated to himself, much of his behavior is oriented around personal pleasure even when it comes at the expense of others. This is most prominently illustrated in his attitude towards Peach, failing to acknowledge that she doesn't want to marry him and only worrying about the possibility of Mario disrupting the ceremony. Additionally, he forcibly clears out the Marrymore chapel in the middle of [[Raz]] and [[Raini]]'s wedding and has his Snifsters barricade the building shut, aiming to keep it to himself while he gets married. | ||
