Jinnie (originally known as Fautso) is a fat genie-like enemy in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. Its original name is likely a cross between "fatso" and "Faust", while its later name is a pun on "genie"/"djinni". A Jinnie can only be summoned to battle by a Pleaseno. Its thought suggests that it was being held captive by the Pleaseno and was forced to fight Mario. Its Monster List description in the remake confirms this. In battle, it is resistant against most status effects such as fire and thunder, but it is weak against ice and jump attacks. It is proficient in using the spells Meteor Blast, Boulder and Aurora Flash. Overall, it has stats that are well rounded, but inferior to Pleaseno. However, the reward for defeating the Jinnie is low, because the player gains 5 exp. with no coins or items.

Trivia
- An unused enemy from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, named Baba Yaga, resembles a blue Jinnie. Baba Yaga's name comes from the Slavic folklore's Baba Yaga, which is a supernatural being who appears as a deformed/ferocious looking old woman. The only things known about it were that it had higher HP, knows the move Mega Recover, and that its thought was "Feeling kinda round..." In a Japanese guide, the Bean Valley section shows artwork of Baba Yaga representing Jinnie.[1] Most other times when artwork is shared in the guide, the difference between sprite colors is very subtle.
- During development, the final boss was conceived as an extremely similar genie.[2] It is likely that its design was repurposed as this enemy after Smithy was finalized.
- Jinnie's pink nose is possibly a reference to the genies in the anime series Hakushon Daimaō, where the genies are depicted with pink noses.
