[[File:SMRPG Plumberslament.png|right|frame|'''''A Plumber's Lament''''' next to some gold statues of [[Valentina]].]]
'''A Plumber's Lament''' is the name of a piece of art created by master sculptor [[Garro]] of [[Nimbus Land]] for the kingdom's usurper queen [[Valentina]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. The gold-colored statue is a depiction of a seemingly ordinary, working-class male [[human]] [[plumber]]. According to Garro, the sculpture's thick mustache covers the "sad, innocent smile of a simple fool," the sideburns serve as a reminder of the plumber's "blue collar roots," and the strong, muscular legs represent the "legs of the masses." While Valentina was initially repulsed by the sculpture, after Garro's analysis of his masterpiece's proletariat symbolism, the queen-to-be lauded ''A Plumber's Lament'', calling it a piece of "gentle beauty" and "raw power." Valentina quickly has the statue put on display by her servant [[Dodo]] next to gold sculptures made in her likeness, which were also created by Garro.

Unbeknownst to Valentina, ''A Plumber's Lament'' is actually [[Mario]] in disguise as part of a plan to infiltrate Nimbus Castle in order to restore [[King Nimbus|King]] and [[Queen Nimbus]] to the throne and topple the regime of the false queen Valentina (who had manipulated the [[Nimbus Person|Nimbus population]] through various political schemes, setting herself up as ''de facto'' ruler of Nimbus Land). In order to expose Valentina's ruse to the greater population, King and Queen Nimbus need to be extradited from the confines of the castle. However, only those with official business with Valentina are allowed entrance to the castle by her guards, the [[Birdy|Birdies]]. Therefore, Garro, Valentina's private sculptor but secretly an ally of Mario and the King and Queen's son (and true heir to the throne) [[Prince Mallow]], devise a plan to get Mario past the guards undetected by turning him into his "latest masterpiece" ''A Plumber's Lament''. To do so, Garro actually applies a coat of gold dust all over Mario's face and clothes in order to make him ''appear'' to be a gold sculpture. Mario, standing perfectly still in order to mimic a statue, is then delivered to Valentina along with several gold sculptures made in the image of the usurper queen, thus allowing Mario to safely and covertly infiltrate the castle.
