Johnny

“So you're THE Mario, eh? Arr harr, harr...! Not much to look at...Well, this star fell into MY SEA, so it's MINE! If you want it, you'll have to fight for it!”

—Jonathan Jones, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Jonathan Jones (known to his friends as Johnny) is the leader of a band of pirates whose base of operations is the Sunken Ship near Seaside Town. Jonathan Jones is a shark, as are his pirates: the Bandana Reds and the Bandana Blues. Johnny's weapon of choice is a trident, which he uses to skewer his opponents. Although Johnny is a pirate, he has a strict code of honor and will be loyal to anyone who can defeat him battle.

During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, one of the seven Star Pieces crashed into the ocean, and was later recovered by Jonathan Jones and his pirates. When Mario arrives to claim the Star Piece for the Elder of Seaside Town, Johnny states he will only hand the relic over if Mario and his allies can defeat him in battle. The pirate leader starts the fight with four Bandana Blues for protection. After his bodyguards are defeated, Johnny challenges Mario to a one-on-one duel. In the end, hammer beats trident and Johnny hands over the Star Piece. But Mario gains something more than a Star Piece, he gains the respect and friendship of the legendary Jonathan Jones.

Since Jonathan Jones is a shark, he cannot breathe on land. Thus the pirate could not join Mario in his battle against Yaridovich, as his gills were giving out on him.
