—Crook, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Crooks are hooded enemies encountered in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. Mario and Mallow first encounter Crooks while traveling through Rose Way. When a Crook spots Mario in the area, the Crook attempts to run into Mario and his partner, initiating a battle. Though Crooks have powerful attacks (punching and throwing daggers), their defense and HP are low, with a powerful Timed Hit being able to take them out. They do not have any weaknesses or resistances, so all types of magic do the same damage. Crooks are often found in groups aiding other monsters in battle. Occasionally, Crooks will escape from battle.

Croco also has three Crook accomplices (who are referred to as "flunkies") whom Mario and company can fight in the Mole Mines. If these Crooks are defeated in battle, they leave a Flower Tab. One of these Crooks can also be seen in the end of the game during the parade.

More powerful variants of Crooks known as Sackits are found on Star Hill.

Trivia[edit]

  • In the original SNES release, Crook's thought suggests that the player cannot escape from combat against Crooks, although the player can still run from battle against them anyway. In the Japanese version and the Switch remake, the quote is instead 「逃げちゃダメだ..逃げちゃダメだ..。」which is lifted directly from the first episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion, where main protagonist Shinji Ikari uses the mantra (translated as "I mustn't run away" in the ADV Films English dub and "don't run away" in the Netflix English dub[1]) to force himself to take action.[2] The English translation of the remake leans closer to the Japanese original, but paraphrases Shinji's mantra rather than quoting either English dub of the TV series.
