Bandana Blue

“Johnny, maybe we should leave Mario the pleasure of wrapping things up here.”

—Bandana Blue, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Bandana Blues are pirate enemies found in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. They reside in the Sunken Ship and work for Jonathan Jones, a fellow shark. Bandana Blues serve as Johnny's personal bodyguards, as they are stronger than their relatives, the Bandana Reds. Four Bandana Blues fought alongside Jonathan Jones during the pirate's battle with Mario and his party. During the battle, after all four Bandana Blue bodyguards were defeated, Johnny would challenge Mario to a one-on-one duel. However, if the party allowed at least one Bandana Blue to keep fighting, Mario would not have to fight Johnny personally. Soon after the battle, the Bandana Blues and Johnny aided Mario at Seaside Town. The shark pirates prevented Smithy Gang lieutenant Yaridovich from entering the Sea, which would have allowed the mechanical creation to return to Smithy with the five Star Pieces he stole from Mario.

While stronger than their cousins, Bandana Blues still have relatively average stats and only one special attack, Pierce. Additionally, they are not resistant to any forms of magic, and are weak against fire and thunder magic.
