| |
| '''Exor''' is a high-ranking member of the [[Smithy Gang]] and the secondary antagonist and boss in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]]. Exor is a giant anthropomorphic sword that is composed of four parts: the Left Eye, the Right Eye, the Mouth (which is inexplicably translated as "'''{{wp|Neoteuthidae|Neosquid}}'''" in the original), and the skull-shaped pommel (named Exor) that controls the entire body. Exor's name is a reference to {{wp|Excalibur}}, the sword from the story of {{wp|King Arthur}}. Exor is used as a gateway between [[Mario World|Mario's world]], which is home of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], and the [[Weapon World]], where [[Smithy]]'s [[Factory (Super Mario RPG)|Factory]] is located.

|
| |
|
| The image of Exor impaling [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] is one of the primary images used to represent the game. Aside from the world map and [[Vista Hill]], it is on the title screen, on the front of the American box art, and on the back of the Japanese box art.
| | '''Exor''' is a giant sword-like character and a member of the [[Smithy Gang]]. Exor is actually composed of four parts, his [[Left Eye]], his [[Right Eye]], his mouth (which for some reason is named [[Neosquid]]), and the skull-shaped handle (named Exor) that controls the entire body. Exor is used as an inter-dimensional gateway between [[Mario]]’s dimension, home of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], and Smithy’s dimension, where [[Smithy’s Factory]] is located. Consequently, Exor can transport an infinite number of troops and weapons for the Smithy Gang, as they are held in a separate dimension, not in an enclosed space. |

| [[File:SMRPG_Exor.gif|thumb|200px|left|The scene where Exor crashes into Bowser's Keep, seen in promotional artwork]] | | Exor was a vital component of Smithy’s invasion of the [[Mushroom World]]. Exor, on his descent to [[Bowser's Keep]], shattered the [[Star Road]], breaking off seven [[Star Pieces]], thus eliminating the power of wishes from the world. Exor crashes into Bowser’s Keep, sending Mario, [[Bowser]], and [[Peach]] (who were battling in the castle) flying to other regions of the world. The keep is occupied by the Smithy Gang, and is used as Smithy’s base of operations in the Mushroom World. |

| Mario returns to Bowser's Keep in an attempt to find Peach, only to meet Exor. Exor claims the keep in the name of the Smithy Gang and destroys the bridge linking Bowser's Keep to the rest of the world, requiring Mario to find another way in. | | Mario returns to Bowser’s Keep in an attempt to find Princess Toadstool. Instead, he finds a monstrously huge sword implanted in the castle. Exor claims the keep in the name of the Smithy Gang, and soon destroys the bridge linking Bowser’s Keep to the rest of the world. Mario must find another way in. |
|
| |
|
| Eventually, after collecting six Star Pieces, Mario returns to Bowser's Keep via [[royal bus driver|a bus driver]] from [[Nimbus Land]]. After defeating [[Boomer (Super Mario RPG)|Boomer]], Mario and his [[party member|allies]] are brought to the roof of the castle, where they engage Exor. In battle, the sword's pommel (actually called Exor) must be defeated to win, but it cannot be damaged until at least one eye has been disabled. In a couple of turns, the eye enables itself again, protecting the pommel completely once again. Following its defeat, Exor inhales Mario and his allies, transporting them to Smithy's world. | | Eventually, after collecting six Star Pieces, Mario returns to Bowser’s Keep via a bus driver from [[Nimbus Land]]. After Mario defeats [[Boomer]] (on the chandeliers he fought Bowser on in the beginning of the game), Mario and his party are brought to the roof of the castle. Once there, Mario and his allies engage Exor. Although he wields impressive magical abilities, Exor is eventually defeated, but not destroyed. With his last ounce of strength, Exor opens his mouth, inhaling Mario and his party, transporting them to Smithy’s dimension and his factory of weapons. |

| After Smithy is defeated, Exor disintegrates. | | After Smithy is defeated, Exor dissolves into nothingness. |

| ====Japanese thoughts====
| | Many beginning players believe Exor is, in fact, Smithy. However, they soon learn the enormous Exor is only one of Smithy’s servants. |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In a television commercial promoting the American release of the game, this character was erroneously referred to as "Smithy the Sword," probably also suggesting that it was the main antagonist of the game.
| |
| *Exor is the only ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' boss (aside from the [[Speardovich]] clones) that is not immune to [[Geno Whirl]]'s ability to deal 9,999 damage if executed properly. This is also true in the remake.
| |
| *Exor is one of only four bosses for which the heroes leave the screen without actually posing when the victory screen comes up, the others being the [[Axem Rangers]]/[[The Blade]], [[Boomer (Super Mario RPG)|Boomer]], and [[Knife Guy]]/[[Grate Guy]].
| |
| *Exor's [[Monster List]] description suggests that Exor's right eye is dominant, as it has more health than the left eye.
| |
| *Exor's Monster List description also implies that, in [[Mario World]], no sword exists. However, this is false, as characters such as [[Prince Peasley]], ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''{{'}}s knight armors, [[Swordfighter Peach]], and many others are seen carrying and using swords.
