| '''Jinnie''' (originally known as '''Fautso''') is a fat genie-like enemy in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. Its original name is likely a cross between "fatso" and "{{wp|Faust}}", while its later name is a pun on "genie"/"djinni". A Jinnie can only be summoned to battle by a [[Pleaseno]]. Its [[Thought Peek|thought]] suggests that it was being held captive by the Pleaseno and was forced to fight [[Mario]]. Its [[Monster List]] description in the remake confirms this. In battle, it is resistant against most status effects such as fire and thunder, but it is weak against ice and [[jump]] attacks. It is proficient in using the spells [[Meteor Blast]], [[Boulder (move)|Boulder]] and [[Aurora Flash]]. Overall, it has stats that are well rounded, but inferior to Pleaseno. However, the reward for defeating the Jinnie is low, because the player gains 5 exp. with no coins or items.

| | A '''Fautso''' is a fat genie-like enemy in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Its name sounds like a cross between "fatso" and "thought so". A Fautso can only be summoned to battle by a [[Box Boy]]. Its psychopath thought suggests that it was being held captive by the Box Boy and was forced to fight [[Mario]]. In battle, it is resistant against most status effects such as fire and thunder, but it is weak against ice and [[jump]] attacks. It is proficient in using the spells [[Meteor Blast]], [[Boulder (move)|Boulder]] and [[Aurora Flash]]. Overall, it has stats that are well rounded, but inferior to Box Boy. However, the reward for defeating the Fautso is low, because the player gains 5 exp. with no coins or items. |

| *An [[list of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content#Enemies|unused enemy]] from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', named '''Baba Yaga''', resembles a blue Jinnie. Baba Yaga's name comes from the Slavic folklore's {{wp|Baba Yaga}}, which is a supernatural being who appears as a deformed/ferocious looking old woman. The only things known about it were that it had higher HP, knows the move [[Mega Recover]], and that its thought was "Feeling kinda round..."

| *During development, the final boss was conceived as an extremely similar genie.<ref>kurashimakaz (March 10, 2021). [https://twitter.com/kurashimakaz/status/1369697859868659714 Tweet by Kazuyuki Kurashima]. ''Twitter''. Retrieved March 28, 2022.</ref> It is likely that its design was repurposed as this enemy after [[Smithy]] was finalized.

| *Jinnie's pink nose is possibly a reference to the genies in the anime series ''{{wp|The Genie Family}}'', where the genies are depicted with pink noses.
