Remember, there’d be no Cackletta, Fawful, Shadow Queen, or Dimentio without Smithy. He’s the OG Mario RPG villain!

[@train4292]

Don’t forget the Shroobs and King Olly

[@BKLYN48]

Super Mario RPG started something beautiful while being beautiful itself

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

lol means nothing

[@romansotelo7240]

Not to mention Grodus.

[@Aquatic-Titan280]

The real question is, who BUILT Smithy.... 🤯

[@LoreIn60Seconds]

Asking the important questions

[@lloydchristian936]

I imagine he just had this realization: “From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.”

[@zom8680]

Super secret boss in the remake ?

[@Aquatic-Titan280]

​@@zom8680Anything is possible!

@@zom8680 most likely but we’ll know for sure once it comes out in November

[@presidentfrog4683]

When I was a child, I thought Exor was the final boss. Imagine my surprise when I ended up in Smithy’s dimension. For a kid, this game is pure gold. Like discovering Kingdom Hearts for the first time. FYI, super Mario RPG and Kingdom Hearts, same composer. Yup, both have some of the best music in video games imo.

[@OddToSee812]

Yup! She also composed for the Mario & Luigi RPG’s as well :)

[@RichieGonzo]

I really do wish the post game of the remake gave us more lore. I want to know more about where Smithy came from, the Star Road, and who Geno serves.

[@Lucrossing]

Yeah, I would love a sequel for this game aswering theses question

[@DaNintendude]

Paper Mario 64 basically answers the latter 2 questions. Geno's higher authority are the Star Spirits. The Star Road receives peoples' wishes, but it's the Star _Rod_ that can grant them. The remake does possibly give us some more lore about Star Road though-- In the Japanese version of Paper Mario 64 "Star Way" was actually "Star Road..." like the one in Super Mario RPG. Star Way is a white, ethereal road that appears, that lets Mario travel to Star Haven. In the RPG remake, the Triple Move "Star Riders" has one of the Star Pieces create similar ethereal roads for the heroes to ride on, with the only difference being that the roads are rainbow instead of white. So what I gather from this, is that while the Star Road is usually a big physical star in the sky, it can transform into a literal road, which it _does_ in Paper Mario 64, in the form of Star Way. And this would make a lot of sense. Star Road receives wishes, the Star Spirits in Star Haven grant wishes with the Star Rod, and then the wishes in Star Road fall back to Earth as shooting stars. Star Road can also transform into a literal road to let people access Star Haven, if needed.

[@kennymichaelalanya7134]

​@DaNintendude Yeah and at the end of Paper Mario everyone was basically making a wish because they finally saw a "shooting star" . That reminded me of the Star Hill in Mario RPG

[@voltshocker09]

His last fight is the location, just a graveyard of his former self

[@DancingCrickets04]

Fact: He's got a sick beard

[@LoreIn60Seconds]

Honestly that should’ve been the only lore in the video

[@hackerman203]

Santa Claus

[@spaceycaveco.698]

Each of the Smithy Gang represents a weapon, with Mack the Dagger, Bowyer the Bow and Arrow, Yaridovich the Spear, the Axem Rangers are Axes, and Smithy himself represents the Hammer

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

Ever notice how smithy terrorizes royalty.. somehow... Mushroom Kingdom - chancellor Rose Town and moleville... uhh... Seaside town has an elder The sea has Johnny aka Johnathan Jones Barrel Volcano, nimbus land is nearby And of course exor stabs himself into KING bowsers castle

[@DaNintendude]

Here's a couple corrections: = Smithy's home, the Weapon's World, is not a dimension. It's referred to as a "World," which may imply dimension, but it's unlikely to be the case. = Smithy didn't know about the Star Road and didn't even mean to shatter it. He finds out about the Star Road after one of Bowyer's Aeros hears Geno explain what the Star Pieces are. From that moment on, Smithy adopts stealing the star pieces into his plan of world domination.

[@eagl3ye]

“I'm burning...seething... Never have I been so wronged.” Smithy’s psychopathy was palpable from his dialogue.

[@CGJUGO80]

When I was a kid I used think that Exor _was_ Smithy. My mind was blown when there was more after and getting to the factory.

[@mr.j3rs3y]

That’s actually really funny because the people advertising in the west also thought Exor was Smithy and called him that in advertisements for the game.

[@guilo44]

@@mr.j3rs3yyep, I remember that commercial, it was an old man who said it I think.

[@gokukakarot5246]

Smithy likes geting hit from the back

[@ZambatoMaster2o]

Smithy is lockheed martin.

[@ctt4lfecw]

Oh boy, Smithy returns! 🔨 Still get goosebumps when you hear the sound of that pounding hammer when you enter the Factory

[@LoreIn60Seconds]

Dude sameeee

[@Grayald]

Remember when we all thought the sword was named smithy because of that commercial?

[@s1nnergy]

They removed Smithy’s fantastic line of dialogue “I’m SEETHING” from the remake, which is unfortunate.

[@kennymichaelalanya7134]

Huh really? Could've sworn I I saw him say "seething" after he uses his hammer to destroy the ground . Maybe I need to rewatch it

[@turkeywheat]

you fight smithy in his final form, in a room where the floor is made up of copies of his head, and a giant one in the back. does that mean smithy is also just a weapon?

[@LoreIn60Seconds]

And if so…who made him? 👀

[@turkeywheat]

@@LoreIn60Seconds what came first the smithy or the egg?

[@Saixjacket]

@@turkeywheatsmithy is the chrono trigger

[@turkeywheat]

@@Saixjacket you know what, I bet that's a great theory and comment but I never played chrono trigger

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

But what if I told you... there were scrapped Smithies because the snes arena has lots of smithy heads

[@pandoravex4791]

Man, this is my favorite game of all time and I didn’t know that.

[@cultofmrozinski368]

Jokes on him, I wished for weapons.

[@mikebowen1246]

He said "heck" in the snes version and 9 year old me lost my mind!

[@TheXtremeBoltGuy]

So Smithy wants to turn Mario's world into... OUR world?

[@madcap3450]

The original developer meant for smithy to be an evil version of Santa clause making and delivering weapons instead of toys

[@dehuelp83]

This game is fire. I wonder if Nintendo can add a difficulty setting. The last boss was easy once I got maxed out

[@jefferythibodeaux5573]

He’s a mega pushover in the remake 😂

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Fact: He's a big jerk

[@WMachismo]

I would ask Smithy to make Squalls GunBlade

[@Scherzo-gvo]

One thing I know about Smithy is that the background of his second faze still scares me

[@lovinglife8854]

Bro, why did you make his beard look like bananas?!

[@TytheGhost]

Can't believe SMII7Y would do this

[@zachspanos441]

He's honestly an evil Santa Claus

[@owenchoorongji4169]

Smithy wants to rule Bowser's Keep for eternity

[@DesoloZantas]

I think the mask head looks the scariest

[@TheSlashTraxNetwork]

What if the heroes are caught in a vicious time loop in the factory defeating countless smithys and thats why so many damaged smithy heads are seen and we are fighting the FINAL smithy and thats why he says he will have his revenge!! Lol love the game

[@rmmimerin130]

Smithy has a hammer like a blacksmith [AWSSOME FACTSSSS]

[@MrJdcirbo]

This is what happens when a weapons manufacturer activates an artificial general intelligence programed to build weapons more efficiently...

[@axemredalawadhi8482]

A fact that I know about Smithy that he hasn’t died and you can see him in the end credit

[@jess648]

there was definitely a planned sequel that didn’t happen after Square jumped ship to the PS1

[@1992TheDiamondWolf]

​​@@jess648yeah just like Sony had The Legend Of Dragoon PS1 and people wanted a sequel. Super Mario RPG and The Legend Of Dragoon was the best RPG video game with great soundtrack early 2000's. I just sony make remake of The Legend Of Dragoon and start listening to the fans

[@bb8thegreat593]

He's the only boss in the game to have the star visible during his fight

[@Official930Studios]

During the Defensive head, attack the body. The head can't be attacked whatsoever. The treasure head must be attacked greatly before he dishes out heavy damage. Same with wizard. Tank can be handled by Bowser. If anything, have Peach in your team to save up from using Pick me ups. and Bowser for heafty attacks. Important note: USE RED ESSENCE HALFWAY THROUGH THE SMITHY BATTLE! TRUST ME!

[@MTG69]

Smithy is also the founder of the Dollar Shave Club. Quite odd since it doesn't look like he shaves very much.

[@IsaacG97]

I actually didn’t know about the other heads he can switch to. The two times I’ve fought him in the remake, he only switched between the tank and the mage

[@brandonmauricejones9183]

I bought it when I was 15 & I used to kick ass in that game I just recently played on the mini SNES & I still got it but Smithy is a mutha for real

[@ariessuggs3819]

So in a way real life was smithy being successful...we got weapons and non of our wishes come true..dang sucks

[@melvyncardenas6493]

Do the other dimensions have no way to defend themselfs, damn

[@chaotixthefox]

Most places don't have a Mario tier defender.

[@kevindavis296]

Yeah on like who made created him if he's a robot??? 🤖

[@OrbitalFrog_]

Smithy would be great in smash bros. I think he would be a more interesting character than Genocide, but I don’t think he is mole likely than genocide

[@sausukakoolsuragi5690]

Kinda reminds me of the combine from half life

SMITHY BOOSTER BIRDO BOOMER BELOME DODO CROCO JOHNNY CULEX PUNCHELLO THE SMITHY GANG & AXEM RANGERS ARE THE BEST VILLAINS OF SUPER MARIO RPG

[@9tailedKitsune]

At least in the original game, Smithy didn't actually plan to destroy the Star Road and take the stars. It was more a happy(for him) accident of his invasion scheme.

[@enty3]

I knowe the exor Glich with geno whirl

[@diamondoge]

Smithy is a blacksmith

[@ajx16]

Starting talking about the head but then just changed topic .. 1 piece of info

[@MazterP28]

This was just one version of smithy, if you see in the final level their are multiple smithys. So maybe whoever built him, will be others.

[@linkman4432]

So.....he's basically Ultron?

[@KirbyGamerEX27]

Any reason why he needs weapons?

[@jaykay8426]

He’s a blacksmith. Blacksmiths make weapons. If people have wishes they won’t need weapons and his job would be pointless, which is why he shattered star road to replace all the wishes with weapons (for some reason)

[@KirbyGamerEX27]
