| |
| '''Claymorton''', originally known as '''Mack''', is a commander of the [[Smithy Gang]] and the boss guarding the first [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. He is a giant pogo stick-like sword with floating eyes and a red-colored, roundish humanoid figure attached to his handles, mirroring the [[Shymore]]s he commands; in the remake, the humanoid figure is now identified as "Claymorton" and appears completely separate from the sword on which he now rides. When attacking, Claymorton shakes his head. Like the other members of the Smithy Gang, Claymorton is modeled after a weapon (in his case, a shortsword). He was originally named after the song "{{wp|Mack the Knife}}" (originally "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer" in German). His current name is a portmanteau on "claymore," a kind of sword, and the male given names "Clayton" and "Morton."
| |
| ==History==
| |
| With his Shymores, Claymorton attacked the [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]] while [[Mario]] was in [[Bandit's Way]]. Claymorton occupied the throne room of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] with his [[Bodyguard]]s while his Shymores terrorized the residents of the surrounding town. After returning to town, Mario and [[Mallow]] fought their way to the throne room and defeated Claymorton. Following Claymorton’s defeat, the two remaining Bodyguards left to inform [[Smithy]] of Claymorton's destruction. Claymorton would return in the [[Weapon World]], in the form of a [[Machine Made|gray mass-produced copy of the original]]. His [[Thought Peek|thought]] here notably indicates he has the memories of the original, something none of the others' show explicitly. In the [[parade]], Claymorton, along with [[Bowyer]] and [[Speardovich]], is seen being pounded by Smithy's hammer.

|
| ==Battle==
| | '''Mack''' is a member of the [[Smithy Gang]] and one of [[Smithy]]'s lieutenants. He appeared in the game ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Mack is in command of an army of [[Shysters]], pogo-stick riding [[Shy Guy|Shy Guys]]. Mack also wields powerful fire magic. With his army of soldiers, Mack attacked the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and occupied it. [[Mario]], conveniently, was in [[Bandit's Way]] with [[Mallow]], chasing down the thief [[Croco]]. Mack allowed his Shysters to overrun the town, causing chaos as they wished. |
| At the start of the battle, Claymorton is accompanied by a quartet of Bodyguards. If they are not defeated within one turn, Claymorton will jump out of the battle screen and will not return until all bodyguards on the field are defeated. When in battle, Claymorton attacks with physical strikes and the spells [[Flame (move)|Flame]] and [[Flame Wall]]. After a few turns, the Shymores will be summoned again, requiring the player to repeat the process until Claymorton is defeated. If all the bodyguards are defeated and he reenters, Claymorton will use Flame Wall for his next attack. If all the bodyguards are defeated in one turn after being summoned, Claymorton summons them again and does not attack.

| ==Profiles and statistics==
| | When Mario and Mallow returned to town, they were shocked by the sudden appearance of the Shysters. Together, they rescued townspeople and fought to the throne room of the castle, where they confronted Mack and his elite Shyster Bodyguards. After a long battle, Mario emerged victorious, driving Smithy's forces out of the Mushroom Kingdom. In the aftermath, Mario earned his first [[Star Piece]]. |

| | Mack appears to be a large knife with eyes. However, there is also a red-colored creature on top of the knife. It is unknown if Mack is the knife, the red creature, or a combination of the two. |

| ==Trivia== | | == Trivia == |
| *In the original SNES game, it is possible to skip the Mack encounter with a trick involving a tricky jump from a Bodyguard over to the [[Chancellor]], who is hiding in the corner. The Bodyguards will not notice Mario, thus the fight will not be triggered. Mack and his gang will be gone after speaking with the Chancellor. The game will continue as normal, though the first Star Piece will not show up in the menu until after the second one is obtained since it was not formally collected. This was fixed in the remake.

| ==References== | | * Mack's name comes from the song, "Mack the Knife" (originally "Die Morität von Mackie Messer" in German). The song was composed by Kurt Weill, with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht, for the music drama ''Die Dreigroschenoper'', or, in English, ''The Threepenny Opera''. "Mack the Knife" was later covered by both Louis Armstrong and Bobby Darrin. |

| | * [[Jack the Knife]], a character from ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'', has a name very similar to Mack the Knife. It's possible that his name also comes from the song "Mack the Knife". |
