| | The '''Factory''' (also known as '''Smithy Factory''') is the gloomy dimension where [[Smithy]] and his cohorts resided during the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]].'' The entire factory was filled with Smithy's [[Machine Made]] weapons and the assembly lines that carried them. The factory's design greatly resembles that of the [[Airships]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', including the [[Bolt Lift]]s sometimes utilized to reach far platforms and the fog that fills the air. [[Mario]], [[Mallow]], [[Geno]], [[Bowser]], and [[Princess Toadstool]] fought many hard battles and endured countless perils during this last leg of their journey. |

| |
| The '''Factory''' is the base of operations of [[Smithy]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]], located deep within the [[Weapon World]]. Compared to the Weapon World, it is a small and straightforward location. However, in the original version, the Weapon World is also labeled as the "Factory".

|
| It is here Smithy creates each of his minions one by one. To the right, in each room, Mario can witness the process of a [[Jabit]] being manufactured. As [[Mario]] and company travel through it, they must battle in ascending order against the Factory bureaucrats, who each say the process of rebuilding the [[Smithy Gang]] from the ground up is well underway; members of Mario's party demand they stop production. First, [[Mallow]] threatens the [[Clerk]] and his [[Mad Mallet]]s, only to have a brief accident with a [[! Switch|switch]] and a crane after they are defeated. [[Toad]] then suddenly appears and offers to sell items to the group.
| | Unlike other worlds of the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series, like [[Earth]], the [[Mushroom World]] itself, or [[Subcon (place)|Subcon]], which are filled with wonder, the Factory is seemingly little more than a hellish, dark void filled with mechanical beings and bizarre, sinister creatures. |
|
| |
|
| In the next room, [[Bowser]] challenges the [[Manager]] and his [[Pounder]]s, but they ignore him completely and focus on Mario. After defeating them, Bowser delivers a {{wp|haiku}} about his lack of acknowledgement despite his role, and Mario pats him on the shell. Soon afterward, [[Princess Peach|Peach]] demands the [[Director]] stop immediately, but he rebuffs her with the implicit threat of melting her. Once he and his [[Poundette]]s are defeated, she admits he scared her, but reaffirms they need to finish what they started. Next, the [[Factory Chief]] challenges Mario directly, saying he is no match for a weapon of his own creation, the [[Gunyolk]], which he proceeds to battle alongside. Once they are defeated, [[Geno]] notes the Jabits' continued production and the pipe they are coming from, deducing that it will lead to Smithy. Mario uses a switch and crane similar to the one he saved Mallow from to reach the pipe, which he then enters.

|
| Once in Smithy's quarters, he jovially treats them as a tour group and offers a demonstration of his craft by creating a Jabit before them. Once they begin protesting his plans, however, he becomes annoyed and attacks, demanding they hand over the [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]]s they have gathered. Once he is defeated, he flies into a blind rage and begins hammering the floor in a tantrum. An [[Aero]], [[Drill Bit]], and [[Shymore]] arrive to calm him down, reminding him of his blood pressure and the fact that the foundations for the floor had only been applied the day before. However, he does not listen and hits it one more time in annoyance, causing the weak floor to give out beneath everyone. Deep inside the Factory, Smithy and the party land in a scrap heap full of big Smithy skulls, where he turns into his giant true form for a final battle. Once he is defeated, the Factory shuts down for good, signified by the red glow fading to gray and [[Exor]] disintegrating.

| ===[[Smithy]] and his forms===
| | After defeating a [[Machine Made]] [[Yaridovich]], a [[Brick Block]] will explode to open a passage deeper underground. This leads Mario and company directly to a boss battle against [[Cloaker]] and [[Domino]] and their pet snakes, (either [[Mad Adder]] or [[Earth Link]], depending on which of the bosses is left standing). |

| ==Given item==
| | The inner part of the factory is seemingly made of all steel, even the floors. To the right, in each room, Mario can witness the process of a [[Jabit]] being manufactured. Also, various factory workers in charge of each department will try and fight off Mario to try to prevent him from getting to [[Smithy]]. |

| ==Notes==
| | * According to a [[Shyster]] the factory was built "yesterday" and the foundation is "very weak". |
| *Despite the management staff consisting of four boss fights, only the Gunyolk and the Factory Chief have boss music in the original version, while the Clerk, Manager, and Director have regular enemy music. Additionally, the Gunyolk is the only one of these with the "fading out" effect most bosses have upon defeat, with the rest having the "popping" effect usually reserved for normal enemies. The player's statistics are restored after each of these fights, however, which normally only happens for bosses. In the remake, all are given the boss music, clarifying them as boss battles. | | * The music is in a very complex time signature of 13/8 (13 quavers (eighth notes) to a bar (measure)) |
