Today, let's start in our main villains of the RPGs. Starting off this list, we have Smithy, the leader of the Smithy gang and the main villain of Super Mario RPG. Smithy lives in an alternate dimension where he forges every single member of his army. He sends his giant sword minion Exor to stab into Bowser's castle, creating an opening between their worlds through which he sends his army.

Smithy's fight with you takes place in two stages. In the first, he uses his sledgehammer to fight you, and has a smelter next to his forge that spits out hot metal that he then forges into a minion to help him. After you beat him in that form, you start fighting him in a new form during which he switches around his heads. These heads include Tank Head that shoots tank shells at you, Magic Head that can use magical attacks, Treasure Head that causes random effects, and Masked Head which lets him heal. As with most from this game, the most difficult part is figuring out an Up B, but I think I've got it.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Head Switch

This will function on a similar principle to Shulk's Monado Arts. He will switch between the four heads which will give him stat boosts. Tank Head will make him hit harder, Magic Head will make him lighter and add a magic effect to his moves, Masked Head will heal and defend him while he wears it, and Treasure Head will cause a random bonus.

Side B: Smelter

He will point his smelter forward and it will spew molten hot metal across the stage, doing serious damage to the opponents.

Up B: Conveyor Belt

It's not the best, but I think it works. It's based on the conveyor belts that fill his world, delivering the newly formed soldiers to the Mario world. The belt will appear above him and convey him upward and away from danger.

Down B: Minion

Basically he will pound out a minion from his army (one of the basic level ones), and that minion will then wander the stage, fighting for you. He can only make one at a time.

Final Smash: Exor

His giant sword Exor will fly down and stab through the stage, sending any opponents flying.

Entrance: He will be working at his forge when the match begins.

Taunts: Waving around his hammer. Pounding out a minion and sending it on. So on.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll cover Bowser's right-hand woman in the Paper Mario series: Kammy!
