When [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]] first enter his studio, they notice a golden statue that resembles Mallow. However, Garro reveals the sculpture is of a young [[King Nimbus]]. As a result, Mallow realizes he is the true heir to the throne and that [[Dodo]] was an impostor. Garro agrees and decides to help Mario infiltrate the castle by layering him in gold, disguising him as one of his statues. The sculptor grabs a couple of gold Valentina statues (along with a gold Mario) and brings them to the castle. However, Valentina's [[Birdy]] guards stop Garro. According to the guards, only statues of Valentina are allowed in the castle. Quickly thinking, Garro tells the guards that the statue is of Valentina's nephew, Mariotta, and the guards let him pass.

Upon entering the castle, Garro runs into Valentina herself. Valentina, who considers herself an art buff, scoffs at the awkward looking statue. However, Garro argues that the sculpture, which he names "A Plumber's Lament", symbolizes the struggle of the working class and is a very powerful piece of art. Valentina quickly changes her previous evaluation, praising Garro for the statue. With Mario in position, Garro returned to his studio, waiting for the [[plumber]] hero to bring an end to Valentina's reign. At the game's ending sequence, Garro was shown at the very back of the crowd celebrating Mallow's return; interestingly, unlike the other crowd members, Garro did not leap for joy and peculiarly left before the ceremony was over.

Garro, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Garro is a character in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. He is a master sculptor who owns a studio in Nimbus Land. He plays a pivotal role in the fall of Valentina and the restoration of the royal family to the throne of Nimbus Land.

When Mario and Mallow first enter Garro's studio, they notice a golden statue that resembles Mallow. However, Garro reveals the sculpture depicts a young King Nimbus. As a result, Mallow realizes he is the true heir to the throne, and Dodo is an impostor. Garro agrees and decides to help Mario infiltrate the castle by layering him in gold, disguising him as one of his statues. Garro takes Mario to the castle, alongside a statue of Valentina. When one of the Birdies guarding the castle notices Mario, Garro claims that the statue is of Valentina's nephew, Mariotta, and the guards let him pass.

Upon entering the castle, Garro runs into Valentina, who scoffs at the awkward-looking statue. However, Garro argues that the sculpture, which he names A Plumber's Lament (a name that may be a reference to the poem "A Mother's Lament" by Robert Burns), symbolizes the struggle of the working class; in the Nintendo Switch remake, Garro names the statue In Search of Lost Brother (a parody of the title of the novel In Search of Lost Time) and claims that it symbolizes the kind feelings of a man for his younger brother and is a very powerful piece of art. Valentina quickly changes her previous evaluation, praising Garro for the statue. With Mario in the castle, Garro returns to his studio.

In the game's ending sequence, Garro is shown at the very back of the crowd celebrating Mallow's return; unlike the other crowd members, Garro leaves before the scene fades away. In the remake, he simply turns and nods.

The golden statue of young King Nimbus in Garro's studio changes poses as the game progresses.
