'''Jinx''' is a martial arts master who operates a dojo in [[Monstro Town]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Although he is extremely small, he is also enormously powerful. Visiting the dojo is not necessary to completing the game, and is an optional sidequest. If [[Mario]] walks inside the dojo, Jinx's student [[Jagger]] will notice [[Bowser]] and kindly offer a challenge against the party. After beating Jagger, his Sensei Jinx reveals himself and can be fought.


Jinx can be defeated up to three times, getting exponentially stronger with each fight, with higher attack, defense, and [[Heart Point|HP]] stats. He also introduces [[Quicksilver]] in the second fight and [[Bombs Away (move)|Bombs Away]] (which has extremely high attack power) in the third fight. After winning the third fight, Jinx rewards Mario and his allies with the [[Jinx Belt]], the symbol of his power which is to be worn by the highest-ranking member. Jinx also quickly declares Mario the new Sensei of the dojo, calling it "Mario Style Dojo" and giving up his title. Jagger and Jinx immediately train in Mario's apparent style of martial arts, beginning their training regimen of [[jump]]ing one thousand times. In spite of this, they continue to do this tirelessly for the rest of the game, and Mario is never directly seen instructing his dojo.

When [[Mario]] first arrives at the dojo, he challenges Jinx's student [[Jagger]] to a fight. After beating Jagger, Mario can fight the martial arts master Jinx.  Jinx will fight Mario three times, getting exponentially stronger with each fight, with higher attack, defense, and HP stats. He also introduces Quicksilver in the second fight and Bombs Away (which has extremely high attack power) in the third fight. After Mario wins the third fight, Jinx rewards him with the [[Jinx Belt]], the symbol of his power. Jinx also declares Mario the new sensei of the dojo. Jagger and Jinx then begin to train in Mario's style of martial arts. Their first training assignment is to [[Jump]] one thousand times.


Jinx paved the way for [[the Master]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''; both Jinx and the Master are optional martial arts-themed bosses in their respective games that are fought in three progressively more challenging battles. Both also have a student (or two) who are fought before them: Jagger for Jinx and [[Chan]] and [[Lee]] for the Master.  
Jinx also has clone forms of himself named [[Jinx Clone]]s.  They were created by the brainwashed [[Magikoopa]] of the [[Smithy Gang]] to stop Mario and his party's advance through [[Bowser's Keep]].


During the battle against [[Wizakoopa]], he may create a [[Jinx Clone]] to defend himself.

In the Nintendo Switch remake, Jinx can be refought after defeating [[Smithy]]. At the start of the battle, the Action Gauge is reset, and the party must refill it and use any [[Triple Move]] to end the battle. If any party member fails an Action Command, Jinx immediately attacks that party member with Silver Bullet. After defeating [[Culex|Culex 3D]] then defeating Smithy, Jinx, along with Jagger and Culex in his 2D form, appears in the credits scene with Monstermama and the other characters.
==Trivia==
*Jinx's Japanese name, Jackie, may be a reference to famous actor and martial artist Jackie Chan.
*[[Ike]] Says a quote similar to one of Jinx's psychopath thougts when he wins in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

(If you want to replicate this, use VBAdvance's Memory Viewer, go to 081E0E30, and change 11 40 to 67 40 (this basically replaces Bowser's battle sprite with Jinx's.
