Editing Smithy

'''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; the [[Nintendo]] Player's Guide has compared his appearance to that of [[Santa Claus]].<ref>''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 104.</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.

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).

*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.

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.
