'''Mortal blows''', also known as '''instant death'''<ref>{{cite|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1996|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|page=123}}</ref> attacks, are a class of special attacks from ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.  The term refers to any special attack that can one-hit [[downed|down]] a party member, regardless of either the party member's or the enemy's stats (such as [[Heart Point|Hit Point]]s, attack, and defense).  Attacks of this variety include [[Magnum]] and [[Shaker]]. Mortal blows can be blunted by pressing {{button|snes|A}} at the right time during attack, allowing the party member to keep either one HP or all HP. If the timing was perfect, the party member keeps all HP as though nothing happened, but if it is slightly off, the party member still survives with a single Hit Point. Certain accessories, such as the [[Jinx Belt]], [[Safety Ring (Super Mario RPG)|Safety Ring]], and [[Quartz Charm]], can prevent mortal blows from having any effect.
'''Instant death''' attacks are a class of special attacks from ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.  The term refers to any special attack that can instantly [[down]] a party member, regardless of either the party member's or the enemy's stats (such as [[Hit Point]]s, attack, defense, etc.).  Attacks of this variety include [[Magnum]] and [[Shaker]]. Instant death attacks can be blunted by pressing "A" at the right time during attack, allowing the party member to keep either one HP or all of their Hit Points. Certain accessories, such as the [[Accessories|Jinx Belt]], [[Safety Ring]] and the [[Quartz Charm]], can prevent instant death attacks from having any effect.


The following is a list of mortal blows. Attacks marked with an asterisk (*) can be blunted by pressing {{button|snes|A}} in the original. All of these attacks can be blunted by timing in the remake, and would have to be in order to maintain the [[Chain (Super Mario RPG)|Chain]] even if the target has immunity from equipment.

<references/>
The term 'Instant death' can also refer to anything in a video game that causes a character to be defeated instantly, no matter what conditions the given character is in. Some examples are being crushed in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', touching lava in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' 2D platformers, getting eaten by a [[Bubba]] or [[Big Bertha]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]]'', or falling into an [[Abyss]]. Also, any move in an RPG game (such as the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games) that causes the attacked character to lose all of its [[HP]] in one hit can also be considered an 'instant death' attack.
