'''Smithy''' is the main antagonist and final boss of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]], as well as the titular leader of the [[Smithy Gang]], an organization that attempts to rule over [[Mario World|Mario's world]] in the game. In order to do that, Smithy tries to get rid of the power of [[wish]]es from the world and, in its stead, fill the world with weapons. He is a tall dark-gray mechanical creature that wears a gold crown and has an extremely long white beard comparable to [[Santa Claus]]'.<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide|page=104|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996|language=en-us}}</ref> Smithy hails from [[Weapon World|another world]] that is accessible by the gateway provided by [[Exor]]. In his world, he resides in his [[Factory (Super Mario RPG)|Factory]], where he creates anthropomorphic weapons that he uses against other [[world]]s. It is also implied during the final battle that multiple versions of him were made and that there were possibly plans to mass-produce him, due to the various heads littered in his final battle arena.


'''Smithy''' is the diabolical leader of the [[Smithy Gang]], an organization that attempted to take over the [[Mushroom World|world]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. To do this, Smithy tried to eliminate the power of [[wish]]es from the world and, additionally, fill the world with his weapons. He is a gray mechanical monstrosity that wears a gold crown and has a long, white beard. As such, he resembles a diabolical [[Santa Claus]].<ref>''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 104.</ref> He hails from another [[dimension]], a dimension that is accessible by the gateway [[Exor]]. In his dimension, he resides in his [[Factory]], where, day and night, Smithy creates mechanical monsters to be unleashed against the peaceful people of other [[world]]s.
Smithy's name is derived from the word "smith," which is someone who manipulates various materials and alloys, such as a blacksmith. A smith's workshop is sometimes called a smithy as well.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
====The Initial Invasion====
[[File:SmithyBattle.png|thumb|Mario and his party battle Smithy.]]
Prior to his invasion, Smithy gets Exor to occupy [[Bowser's Castle#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Bowser's Keep]]; in its descent, Exor shatters the [[Star Road (Super Mario RPG)|Star Road]], the source of wishes in the world. Once there, Smithy defeats [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser's Minions|his minions]] and establishes his base of operations in Bowser's Keep of [[Mario]]'s world (while Smithy's Factory remains the main headquarters of the Smithy Gang).


At the start of his invasion of the Mushroom World, Smithy had the gigantic sword Exor occupy [[Bowser's Keep]]. Once there, Smithy established his base of operations in Bowser's Keep on Mushroom World (while Smithy's Factory remained the main headquarters of the Smithy Gang). During the battle that ensued, [[Bowser]]'s forces were either eliminated or had defected to the Smithy Gang. With the [[Koopa Troop]] out of the picture, Smithy set his sights on the rest of the world. Additionally, during the initial invasion, Exor inadvertently shattered the [[Star Road]], the source of wishes in the world. Although he did not know this at the time, without the power of wishes in play, Smithy would have an easier time conquering the planet.
Smithy then sends his lieutenants to retrieve the [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]]s after learning the pieces have potential to restore wishes to the world. Smithy does not want anyone returning the Star Pieces to the Star Road, as the road's recovery would allow the power of wishes to counter the power of the Smithy Gang's weapons and interfere with his attempt of world conquest.


====Weapons and Wishes====
However, Mario, [[Mallow]], [[Geno]], [[Princess Peach]], and Bowser prevent Smithy from carrying out his plans, and they obtain the Star Pieces from his lieutenants. They then arrive at Bowser's Keep and enter Smithy's world via Exor. Once they confront Smithy, he is busy creating new weapons and is revealed to have the last Star Piece embedded in his body, presumably to prevent anyone from restoring the power of wishes to the world. Smithy calmly asks Mario to turn over his Star Pieces, but Mario refuses and battles Smithy instead.
{{main|Smithy Gang}}


Once Bowser's Keep was occupied, Smithy sent out his various lieutenants to terrorize the people of the planet, and to recover the [[Star Pieces]] that had the potential to restore wishes to the world. Smithy did not want anyone returning the Star Pieces to Star Road, as the road's recovery would allow the power of wishes to counter the power of the Smithy Gang's weapons.
[[File:RPG Magnum.png|thumb|200px|Smithy's tank head]]
Smithy wields a giant metal sledgehammer in battle, which he uses with his right hand. The fingers of his left hand have been fitted with small projectile launchers that he uses to fire bullets at Mario and his [[party member|allies]]. Some of Smithy's magical powers involve summoning a [[Sledge|giant wooden sledgehammer]] to crush Mario and his allies and summoning [[Meteor Swarm|meteors]]. In battle, Smithy is also aided by [[Smelter]]. Smelter produces molten metal from his mouth, which Smithy then shapes into [[Shyper]]s, who immediately enter the battle and begin attacking Mario's party.


During the invasion of the world, Smithy's lieutenants did as follows:
After Smithy is defeated, he becomes infuriated and begins slamming the floor with his sledgehammer. A few of his minions arrive, begging him to calm down and to stop smashing the floor (as the foundation was just built the day before). However, Smithy ignores their warnings and continues pounding the floor. As a result, the floor collapses; Mario, his allies, and Smithy fall into the basement of the factory. Once there, Smithy reveals his true form: a metal shape-shifter.


*The knife monster [[Mack]] conquered the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and acquired the first Star Piece.
Although his body remains the same, Smithy can now use his sledgehammer to turn his head into different forms. Smithy has five heads that he can change into:
*The bow creature [[Bowyer]] attacked the people of [[Rose Town]] with poisoned arrows and found the second Star Piece.
*The Normal Head, which he uses to switch to the other heads. This head remains only during the first few turns of the battle. Once he first changes his head to a new form, his original head never returns aside from brief appearances in between form changes.
*The bomb creature [[Punchinello]] held the third Star Piece in the [[Moleville Mines]], but he was not a member of Smithy's gang.
*The Tank Head, which has extremely powerful physical attacks. It also has high physical defense and can attempt to KO a party member instantly. It is weak against lightning-based attacks.
*Smithy didn't send any of his lieutenants to recover the fourth Star Piece on [[Star Hill]].
*The Magic Head, which has the most powerful magical attacks in the game but has weak defense. To compensate, it does not have an elemental weakness.
*The spear monster [[Yaridovich]] occupied [[Seaside Town]] and took the fifth Star Piece, which was previously owned by [[Jonathan Jones]].
*The Mask Head, which is used for increased protection and defense and also for healing Smithy's [[Heart Point|HP]]. It boasts the highest physical defense. It is weak to ice-based attacks. In the remake, it is instead called Casket.
*Lastly, the [[Axem Rangers]] claimed the sixth [[Star Piece]] from [[Barrel Volcano]], which was previously guarded by [[Czar Dragon]].
*The Treasure Head, which attacks Mario's party with a random status ailment. It is weak to fire-based attacks.

After Smithy is defeated, Mario and his allies overheat Smithy's body, which then explodes as a result, and the last Star Piece is recovered by Mario and his allies. With all seven Star Pieces in hand, Geno is able to repair the Star Road and restore the power of wishes to the world, thus ending the Smithy Gang invasion.


However, all of Smithy's operations were foiled by [[Mario]] and his allies [[Mallow]], [[Geno]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[King Bowser]]. Occupied towns were liberated and the Star Pieces fell into the hands of Mario's party.
At the end of the game, a [[parade]] is held in celebration of the end of the invasion. Smithy, in his original bearded form, appears during the parade, riding atop [[The Blade]]. Many [[Shymore]]s and several of his lieutenants also appear alongside Smithy. As he flies by on The Blade, he pounds his minions [[Claymorton]], [[Bowyer]], and [[Speardovich]] with his sledgehammer.


====First Encounter====
===''Super Mario-kun''===
Eventually, Mario's band of heroes liberated Bowser's Keep and entered Smithy's dimension via Exor. Once there, they planned to eliminate the threat of Smithy and his weapons once for all. The heroes battled past mechanical minions and the factory's management staff, eventually reaching the supreme leader of the Smithy Gang in his forge. Smithy was busy creating new weapons when Mario and company first met him. As it turns out, Smithy had the last Star Piece embedded in his body, presumably to prevent anyone from restoring the power of wishes to the world. Smithy calmly asked Mario to turn over his Star Pieces, and when Mario refused, an epic battle commenced.
[[File:SmithySuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|Smithy in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
Smithy appears in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 51|volume 51]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', in the adaptation of ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. After the [[Director]] poisons the heroes with spiked drinks, Mario is unaffected by the poison, and Smithy steps in to take care of him. Immediately, he squashes him with Sledge. Seeing him in trouble, Bowser and Mallow lend their special techniques to Mario: [[Mechakoopa Stomp|Bowser Crush]] (which backfires on Mario) and [[Shocker (Super Mario RPG)|Shocker]], which seems to kill Smithy, but he reveals his true form and unleashes his rage on Mario with Magnum, Spear Rain, and Arrow Rain with the Tank and Sorcerer heads. Geno, having been previously forced to replace Peach at [[Peach's Castle|the castle]], returns, ready to help Mario in the final fight, but he drinks the Director's spiked drink and is knocked down like the others, so he also resorts to passing his special technique, [[Geno Flash]], to Mario. Turned into a cannon, Mario shoots at Smithy, vanquishing him once and for all.
{{br}}


During the fight, Smithy had a variety of physical and magical attacks at his disposal. To begin with, the mechanical leader wielded a giant metal sledgehammer in battle, which he used with his right hand. The fingers of his left hand had been fitted with small projectile launchers which he used to fire bullets at Mario and his allies. Smithy also commanded great magical power. He could summon a giant wooden sledgehammer to drop from the ceiling and crush all of Mario's allies. Additionally, Smithy could summon powerful meteors to attack Mario's party.
==Personality==
Although originally depicted as a calm and collected leader, Smithy is revealed to be highly ill-tempered, as shown by his fit of rage upon being defeated the first time by Mario and his allies, which culminates in Smithy destroying his recently built floor. Additionally, in the aforementioned fit of rage, Smithy violently repels three of his henchmen who are simply trying to calm him down, showing a lack of care for his own subordinates.


In battle, Smithy was also aided by the creature [[Smelter]]. Smelter produced hot liquid metal from his mouth, which Smithy then shaped into the mechanical minions known as [[Shypers]]. Shypers were one of the strongest non-boss members of the Smithy Gang. Once created, Shypers automatically entered the battle and would begin attacking Mario's party. As such, it was wise for Mario and his allies to defeat Smelter first, cutting off Smithy's unlimited supply of soldiers. After that, the heroes could focus their attacks on the diabolical Smithy.
Ultimately, Smithy is determined to achieve world conquest through the Smithy Gang, confident that his weapons can serve as the basis of his power. As such, Smithy attempts to prevent the restoration of wishes, since the Star Road and the dreams of individuals represent a direct threat to Smithy's reign.


====The Final Battle====
==Profiles and statistics==
[[Image:Smithy.gif|frame|right|Smithy's true form.]]
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
Eventually, Mario and company defeated Smithy in combat. The mechanical leader became infuriated and began slamming the floor with his sledgehammer. A few of his minions arrived, begging him to calm down and to stop smashing the floor (as the foundation was just built the day before). However, an enraged Smithy ignored their warnings and continued pounding the floor. As a result, the floor collapsed; and Mario, his allies, and the diabolical Smithy fall into the basement of the factory. Once there, Smithy revealed his true form: he was not a bearded mechanical monster, but a metal shape-shifter. Indeed, several robotic heads that look identical to Smithy's true form could be seen littered on the floor of the basement, as well as in the background of the dungeon.

In this shape-shifting form, Smithy was nearly unstoppable. However, after a long and grueling battle, the courageous heroes overcame the many forms of Smithy, overloading Smithy's body with heat. In the end, Smithy self-destructed, and the last Star Piece was recovered by Mario and his friends. With all seven Star Pieces in hand, Geno was able to repair the Star Road and restore the power of wishes to the world. The Smithy Gang invasion ended, and peace returned to Mushroom World.

====The Parade====
===Japanese thoughts===
At the end of the adventure, a huge parade was held in celebration of the end of the invasion. Smithy, in his original bearded form, appeared during the parade, riding atop the [[Blade]].  Many [[Shyster]]s and several of his lieutenants also appeared alongside Smithy.  As he flew by on the Blade, he pounded his minions Mack, Bowyer, and Yaridovich with his sledgehammer. Smithy has not been seen since.

However, the parades shown at the end of RPG games are to be considered non-canon, and more a way of showing the characters who appeared, therefore Smithy was destroyed at the moment of his defeat. Another example would be the parade at the end of [[Paper Mario]], where [[Tubba Blubba]] and his heart are shown to still be separated from each other, while during the storyline they reunited. Also, [[Lava Piranha]], [[Huff N. Puff]], and [[Crystal King]] are shown in the parade, while all were killed fighting Mario.

Smithy, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Smithy is the main antagonist and final boss of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its Nintendo Switch remake, as well as the titular leader of the Smithy Gang, an organization that attempts to rule over Mario's world in the game. In order to do that, Smithy tries to get rid of the power of wishes from the world and, in its stead, fill the world with weapons. He is a tall dark-gray mechanical creature that wears a gold crown and has an extremely long white beard comparable to Santa Claus'.[1] Smithy hails from another world that is accessible by the gateway provided by Exor. In his world, he resides in his Factory, where he creates anthropomorphic weapons that he uses against other worlds. It is also implied during the final battle that multiple versions of him were made and that there were possibly plans to mass-produce him, due to the various heads littered in his final battle arena.

Smithy's name is derived from the word "smith," which is someone who manipulates various materials and alloys, such as a blacksmith. A smith's workshop is sometimes called a smithy as well.

History[edit]

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

Mario using his Lazy Shell attack on Smithy
Mario and his party battle Smithy.

Prior to his invasion, Smithy gets Exor to occupy Bowser's Keep; in its descent, Exor shatters the Star Road, the source of wishes in the world. Once there, Smithy defeats Bowser and his minions and establishes his base of operations in Bowser's Keep of Mario's world (while Smithy's Factory remains the main headquarters of the Smithy Gang).

Smithy then sends his lieutenants to retrieve the Star Pieces after learning the pieces have potential to restore wishes to the world. Smithy does not want anyone returning the Star Pieces to the Star Road, as the road's recovery would allow the power of wishes to counter the power of the Smithy Gang's weapons and interfere with his attempt of world conquest.

However, Mario, Mallow, Geno, Princess Peach, and Bowser prevent Smithy from carrying out his plans, and they obtain the Star Pieces from his lieutenants. They then arrive at Bowser's Keep and enter Smithy's world via Exor. Once they confront Smithy, he is busy creating new weapons and is revealed to have the last Star Piece embedded in his body, presumably to prevent anyone from restoring the power of wishes to the world. Smithy calmly asks Mario to turn over his Star Pieces, but Mario refuses and battles Smithy instead.

Smithy's tank head

Smithy wields a giant metal sledgehammer in battle, which he uses with his right hand. The fingers of his left hand have been fitted with small projectile launchers that he uses to fire bullets at Mario and his allies. Some of Smithy's magical powers involve summoning a giant wooden sledgehammer to crush Mario and his allies and summoning meteors. In battle, Smithy is also aided by Smelter. Smelter produces molten metal from his mouth, which Smithy then shapes into Shypers, who immediately enter the battle and begin attacking Mario's party.

After Smithy is defeated, he becomes infuriated and begins slamming the floor with his sledgehammer. A few of his minions arrive, begging him to calm down and to stop smashing the floor (as the foundation was just built the day before). However, Smithy ignores their warnings and continues pounding the floor. As a result, the floor collapses; Mario, his allies, and Smithy fall into the basement of the factory. Once there, Smithy reveals his true form: a metal shape-shifter.

Although his body remains the same, Smithy can now use his sledgehammer to turn his head into different forms. Smithy has five heads that he can change into:

  • The Normal Head, which he uses to switch to the other heads. This head remains only during the first few turns of the battle. Once he first changes his head to a new form, his original head never returns aside from brief appearances in between form changes.
  • The Tank Head, which has extremely powerful physical attacks. It also has high physical defense and can attempt to KO a party member instantly. It is weak against lightning-based attacks.
  • The Magic Head, which has the most powerful magical attacks in the game but has weak defense. To compensate, it does not have an elemental weakness.
  • The Mask Head, which is used for increased protection and defense and also for healing Smithy's HP. It boasts the highest physical defense. It is weak to ice-based attacks. In the remake, it is instead called Casket.
  • The Treasure Head, which attacks Mario's party with a random status ailment. It is weak to fire-based attacks.

After Smithy is defeated, Mario and his allies overheat Smithy's body, which then explodes as a result, and the last Star Piece is recovered by Mario and his allies. With all seven Star Pieces in hand, Geno is able to repair the Star Road and restore the power of wishes to the world, thus ending the Smithy Gang invasion.

At the end of the game, a parade is held in celebration of the end of the invasion. Smithy, in his original bearded form, appears during the parade, riding atop The Blade. Many Shymores and several of his lieutenants also appear alongside Smithy. As he flies by on The Blade, he pounds his minions Claymorton, Bowyer, and Speardovich with his sledgehammer.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Smithy in Super Mario-kun

Smithy appears in volume 51 of Super Mario-kun, in the adaptation of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. After the Director poisons the heroes with spiked drinks, Mario is unaffected by the poison, and Smithy steps in to take care of him. Immediately, he squashes him with Sledge. Seeing him in trouble, Bowser and Mallow lend their special techniques to Mario: Bowser Crush (which backfires on Mario) and Shocker, which seems to kill Smithy, but he reveals his true form and unleashes his rage on Mario with Magnum, Spear Rain, and Arrow Rain with the Tank and Sorcerer heads. Geno, having been previously forced to replace Peach at the castle, returns, ready to help Mario in the final fight, but he drinks the Director's spiked drink and is knocked down like the others, so he also resorts to passing his special technique, Geno Flash, to Mario. Turned into a cannon, Mario shoots at Smithy, vanquishing him once and for all.

Personality[edit]

Although originally depicted as a calm and collected leader, Smithy is revealed to be highly ill-tempered, as shown by his fit of rage upon being defeated the first time by Mario and his allies, which culminates in Smithy destroying his recently built floor. Additionally, in the aforementioned fit of rage, Smithy violently repels three of his henchmen who are simply trying to calm him down, showing a lack of care for his own subordinates.

Ultimately, Smithy is determined to achieve world conquest through the Smithy Gang, confident that his weapons can serve as the basis of his power. As such, Smithy attempts to prevent the restoration of wishes, since the Star Road and the dreams of individuals represent a direct threat to Smithy's reign.
