'''Jonathan Jones''', known to his friends as '''Johnny''', is the leader of a band of pirate sharks in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]]. Though he appears to be a shark, a pair of glowing yellow eyes can be seen within his "mouth," suggesting he may be wearing a shark costume instead. His base of operations is the [[Sunken Ship]] near [[Seaside Town]]; he is known as the "most notorious pirate ever to roam" the [[Star Hill Region|Seaside]] region.<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|date=1996|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=4}}</ref> Johnny's weapon of choice is a trident, which he uses to skewer his opponents. Although Johnny is a pirate, he has a strict code of honor and will be loyal to anyone who can defeat him in battle.

One of the seven [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]]s is said to have crashed into the ocean, where it was later recovered by Johnny and his pirates. When [[Mario]] arrives to claim the Star Piece for the [[elder]] of Seaside Town, Johnny states that he will only hand over the relic if Mario and his allies can defeat him in battle. The pirate leader starts the fight with four [[Bandana Blue]]s assisting him. If the party defeats all of the Bandana Blues, Johnny challenges Mario to a one-on-one duel. Additionally, after his [[Heart Point|HP]] drops below half, Johnny uses [[Get Tough]], causing his skin to turn red and increasing his attack and defense for the rest of the battle. When Johnny is defeated, he befriends Mario and hands him the Star Piece.

When [[Speardovich]] tries to escape with the Star Piece, Johnny appears with some of his crew to block his exit as he attempts to jump into the water, forcing him to battle Mario and his party. After Speardovich is defeated, a note left by Johnny can be seen on a tree, explaining that he was unable to watch because his gills would not allow him to stay outside the water any longer, but that he is sure that Mario was able to easily defeat Speardovich. The note also states that his crew saw [[The Blade|a flying ax]] in the sky, which he is certain is related to the [[Smithy Gang]].

During the ending sequence, Johnny appears on the cliff where the Speardovich battle took place, gazing out onto the sunset. He and Bandana Reds are also seen on a float based on the Sunken Ship (moved by [[King Calamari]]'s tentacles) during the ending parade.

In the Nintendo Switch remake, Johnny returns with a post-game rematch, where he is called '''Duel-Ready Johnny'''. For the entire battle, Mario and Johnny fight one-on-one, and Mario is unable to use items. After the rematch, he rewards Mario with the [[Extra-Shiny Stone]], which allows Mario to rematch [[Culex]].

==Notes==
*In his in-game battle sprites, Johnny has a prominent hook on his left arm. However, his artwork and field sprites show him with two-fingered blue hands on both arms. In the remake, he has his hook consistently.
*If Mario stands still on top of Johnny, he will respond with, "Yo, mate! Just 'cuz we're buds doesn't give ya the right to jump on my head."
