=Minor Characters=

This list reflects the changes made by the remake, while elements from the original Super NES version and its English translation are still noted. Underneath a character's stats are their [[Mallow|Thought Peek]] quotes, which reveal their inner thoughts. When two quotes are listed side by side, the first is from the Super NES localization while the second is from the Switch localization.

==A==

*'''Bad/Mad Adder'''
**(Bad Adder) '''HP:''' 2500, '''Attack:''' 220, '''Defense:''' 120, '''Magic Attack:''' 5, '''Magic Defense:''' 10
**"What a royal pain!"
**(Mad Adder) '''HP:''' 1500, '''Attack:''' 70, '''Defense:''' 90, '''Magic Attack:''' 90, '''Magic Defense:''' 180
**"I'm alive and kicking." / "I lead a carefree life. Maybe too carefree?"
**A giant snake associated with Domino and Cloaker. After one of the two was beaten, the other would summon the Adder and fused with it. It was known as the Bad Adder when summoned by Cloaker and the Mad Adder when summoned by Domino, with the Bad Adder being the more powerful of the two. Despite the differing stats, the Monster List entry in the remake asserts that the Mad and Bad Adder are the same snake, and given that the monster's name is dependent on who merges with it, it goes on to wonder what the monster's true name is. In the original Super NES localization, the name "Earthlink" was used instead for the Bad Adder.

==B==

*'''[[Beezo]]'''
**Beezo was a gardener in service of [[Valentina]]. He was first found in Bean Valley, where he was raising several Piranha Plants. He eventually brought the Megasmilax to life and, after it was beaten, he fled to Nimbus Land to warn Valentina. He accidentally leaves behind a note with a seed attached. Mario was able to catch up to Beezo within Nimbus Palace, where he was stuck behind a locked door in Birdo's chamber. He only arrived to warn Valentina moments before the arrival of Mario and his friends. After Valentina's defeat, Beezo could be found at the end of an invisible platform in Nimbus Land, where he bribes Mario with some fertilizer. The seed and fertilizer he left behind turned out to be legendary items that could be used to grow a Bean Stalk in Rose Town, from which the Lazy Shell items could be reached.
*'''[[Birdo]]'''
**'''HP:''' 777, '''Attack:''' 160, '''Defense:''' 130, '''Magic Attack:''' 6, '''Magic Defense:''' 100
**"I just love life!" / "If someone has to finish me off, I'm glad it'll be you. ♡"
**Birdo was found in Nimbus Palace, where she was contained within a giant egg known as Shelly (with the remake saying she put herself in the egg). She offered to give Mario and his friends the Castle Key 2 if they agree to play with her, which happened in the form of the battle. In the first phase of the battle, Mario's group simply had to attack the egg until it cracked enough to free Birdo. Birdo would then fight back by spitting eggs, including exploding eggs known as Eggbert. After being defeated, she surrendered the Castle Key 2 and asked Mario not to forget her.
*'''Boomer'''
**'''HP:''' 2000, '''Attack:''' 200, '''Defense:''' 140, '''Magic Attack''': 35, '''Magic Defense:''' 26
**"It's all over now..." / "The time for words is past."
**Boomer was a deadly, cannon-like machine built by Smithy in his factory. Boomer is hotheaded but honorable, in the manner of a samurai. Despite being modeled after cannon, he wielded a katana in battle, furthering the samurai comparison. Boomer changed his color between red and blue in battle, and his weaknesses shifted at the same time. He was vulnerable against special attacks when his armor was red and normal attacks when his armor was blue. He battled Mario's group on the chandeliers within Bowser's Keep (similar to Bowser in the beginning of the game), and he was the last obstacle prior to facing Exor. After being defeated, Boomer accepted the defeat with honor and rejected Mario's sympathy, instead opting to make his Shyndelier drop him to his doom.
*'''Boshi'''
**Boshi was a blue punk-fashioned Yoshi with a sweet tooth for Yoshi Cookies. He took over the Mushroom Derby racetrack on Yo'ster Isle and forced only one Yoshi to race him at a time with Yoshi Cookies as wagering stakes. Boshi was initially undefeated, which caused him to maintain his control over the races, until Mario helped Yoshi to beat him. With his defeat, Boshi allowed all Yoshis to join in on the races. He was last seen walking away with [[Croco]] in the ending.
**His Japanese name is Wasshi, seemingly following the precedent of [[Wario]]'s name. This makes him the closest to a Wario-esque counterpart that Wario has had.

==C==

*'''King Calamari'''
**'''HP:''' 800, '''Attack:''' 100, '''Defense:''' 80, '''Magic Attack:''' 30, '''Magic Defense:''' 40
**"The ship's MINE! SCRAM!"
**A giant Blooper-like squid. It was King Calamari that sunk the Sunken Ship, but the crew was able to trap him in a prison cellar in revenge. Mario and his group had to fight him about halfway through their exploration of the Sunken Ship, after unlocking the treasure cellar with the special password "Pearls". Before facing Calamari himself, Mario and the others had to fight through a series of long tentacles that didn't look like they belonged to Calamari. Afterwards King Calamari himself battled, but was defeated. His weak point was Fire attacks.
*'''Chancellor'''
**The Chancellor was a Toad who resided in the Mushroom Kingdom palace seen in the game. He was distinguished by a green-spotted cap and a black mustache, and he appeared to be larger than other Toads. His exact role in the affairs of the Mushroom Kingdom are uncertain, but he appears to have some power over Princess Peach and is accompanied by a council of Toad advisers. Worried excessively about the princess's safety, the Chancellor deployed Mario to find Princess Peach and gave him a map early in the game. He was also trapped in the throne room during Claymorton's occupation of the palace, until Mario drove the enemy out. After Peach was rescued, the Chancellor voiced his disapproval of her wanting to join Mario on his adventure, which caused her to sneak out while having her chambermaid pose as her. He was last seen riding Yoshi during the ending parade.
**In the Japanese version, his rank is Toad Cabinet Minister. In ''Paper Mario'', a Toad Minister appears in a similar capacity at Peach's castle. Like the Chancellor, he has green spots on his head and a mustache, although the Minister appears to be visibly older, as his mustache is white and bushy. It is unclear if the two characters are intended to be the same.
*'''Chef Torte'''
**'''HP:''' 100, '''Attack:''' 60, '''Defense:''' 50, '''Magic Attack:''' 8, '''Magic Defense:''' 27
**"Cake!  Vatch zee CAKE."
**Chef Torte was a master chef with a thick accent who worked in the Marrymore Chapel's kitchen with his loyal apprentice, cooking cakes for the weddings. Chef Torte was known to be quick to anger. As established in the remake, 'Torte' is actually the name of the species for both the Chef and his Apprentice. When Booster and Princess Peach's wedding was called off due to Mario's intervention, Torte replied by attacking Mario and his group, not wanting his wedding cake to go to waste. But when the Bundt turned out to be alive, Torte and his apprentice fled the battle. Afterwards, they remained working in the Marrymore Chapel's kitchen on further cakes. During the remake (as part of a quest unlocked post-game but set during the main storyline), Chef Torte and his Apprentice later made another Bundt cake while sleep-deprived. During the rematch, the Tortes tried lighting Bundt's candles in hopes that would make it normal, without realizing that they were empowering its greatest move. The two could easily be put to sleep during the battle, and after Bundt was defeated again, they gave Mario's group an Enduring Brooch. After completing that quest, the two of them would appear attending Booster and Valentina's marriage in the ending, as well as appearing with the other characters on stage during the curtain call.
**He has a Star Hill wish to be a world (or "vald") class baker. In the remake, he also makes a wish during the rematch quest to stop the cake again, and after the rematch, it changes into a wish that he could just make a normal cake.
*'''Cinder Toad'''
**Cinder Toad was an eccentric Toad who left the Mushroom Kingdom to live in the Barrel Volcano. He had a distinctive flame pattern on his cap, while wearing sunglasses and sporting facial hair. At the volcano, he ran makeshift versions of an item shop and an armory (known as Cinder Mart) and an inn, with his bed consisting of a bunch of wooden crates. As ramshackle as his shop may be, his services still acted as an asset so far into the Barrel Volcano and so close to its boss battles. He was also shown to have a collection of models referencing other [[Nintendo]] series: an [[Arwing]] from ''[[Portal: Star Fox|Star Fox]]'' and several ''[[Portal: F-Zero|F-Zero]]'' machines. The original Super NES release called him by his Japanese name of Hinopio, a name that was formed by combining "Hino" (the Japanese word for fire) and "Kinopio" (Toad's Japanese name).
*'''Clerk'''
**'''HP:''' 500, '''Attack:'''160, '''Defense:''' 100, '''Magic Attack:''' 47, '''Magic Defense:''' 0
**"10 years I've been here!"
**An armored axe-wielding figure (his axe having eyes similar to the [[Blade]]), the Clerk was one of Smithy's employees in the factory who has apparently worked there for ten years. He oversaw the production of Smithy's new army and was often accompanied by a pair of Mad Mallet bodyguards. The Clerk faced the last challenge of his career one day when he met with Mario and Mallow as they enter the factory. The Clerk did not recognize either of them, but when Mallow threatened him to close down the factory, the Clerk retaliated by attacking them. The Clerk was destroyed in the ensuing battle.
*'''Cloaker'''
**'''HP:''' 1200, '''Attack:''' 170/180, '''Defense:''' 130, '''Magic Attack:''' 12, '''Magic Defense:''' 60
**"I love cold hard steel!" / "Can you follow the arc of my proud blade?"
**(Fused) "I can't think straight!" / "Gaaah! I'm too mad to think anymore!"
**Domino and Cloaker were a pair of jester-like enemies who battle Mario's group outside Smithy's Factory. Cloaker had a pot-shaped body, but his Monster List entry clarified that as Smithy was not a potter, Cloaker was actually made out of iron, and his mustache was made from ultra-thin iron boards that were painted white. Cloaker was notable for having high physical and low magical stats. If Domino was defeated first, Cloaker will then board the Bad Adder in battle, insistent that the two of them were fused into one being. Cloaker's attack was raised while riding the Bad Adder. Ultimately, he was destroyed in battle.
*'''Comeon'''
**'''HP:''' 500, '''Attack:''' 170, '''Defense:''' 100, '''Magic Attack:''' 80, '''Magic Defense:''' 20
**"I love my job!?" / "You sure are a greedy one. ♡"
**The fourth and most powerful of the treasure chest enemies. Comeon was the last enemy encountered behind one of the six doors of Bowser's Keep. He will summon a Bahamutt to aid him in battle. Like the previous chest enemies, he was only weak against Jump attacks and has Special Defenses against all other special attacks. He was originally named Chester in the Super NES version.
*'''Count Down'''
**'''HP:''' 2400, '''Attack:''' 0, '''Defense:''' 80, '''Magic Attack:''' 120, '''Magic Defense:''' 80
**"We're into overtime!" / "I demand strict punctuality! No excuses!"
**'''(Ring-A-Ding)''' '''HP:''' 1200, '''Attack:''' 180, '''Defense:''' 120, '''Magic Attack:''' 20, '''Magic Defense:''' 50
**"Wake up sleepy heads!" / "Wake up, everyone. It's morning."
**This massive clock served as a security sentinel in Smithy's Factory and was the first boss encountered within the Weapon World. Count Down unleashed a wide variety of techniques depending on the time indicated by its face. The two bells on his head, the Ring-a-Dings (known as Ding-a-Lings in the Super NES localization), also had powers of their own. Count Down had Special Defenses against Fear, Poison, Sleep and Silence, but was weak against Jump and Thunder attacks. Ultimately it was destroyed in battle with Mario and his party.
*'''Culex'''
**'''HP:''' 4096, '''Attack:''' 250, '''Defense:''' 100, '''Magic Attack:''' 100, '''Magic Defense:''' 80
**"A little off, eh?" / "I feel... a bit out of place."
**(Culex 3D) '''HP:''' 9999
**''You shall bear witness to the power of post-game content!''
**An optional boss who is the game's most powerful enemy and is modeled after a generic ''Final Fantasy'' boss. Culex's lair can only be accessed by unlocking a door in Monstro Town using the Shiny Stone. He hailed from another dimension where he was known as the Dark Knight of Vanda, in service of the Black Mage. When Mario met Culex, he was preparing to return to his own dimension due to finding Mario's dimension uninhabitable for him, but agreed to taken on the dimension's strongest warrior (i.e. Mario) beforehand. In battle, Culex was accompanied by four elemental crystals. After being defeated, Culex rewarded Mario with a Quartz Charm and acknowledged Mario as a comrade-in-arms before returning to his home dimension. In the Switch remake, it was explained that as a result of his evil power, he could only take on a two-dimensional form (represented as a 16-bit sprite in contrast to the game's 3-D models). He was puzzled by the three-dimensional space exhibited by this world and wanted to learn how to harness its power. As a special post-game challenge (chronologically set before the final battle), Mario could use an Extra-Shiny Stone to return to Culex's space, where he had mastered the power of three-dimensional space and become the far more powerful Culex 3D. This version of Culex could be rebattled multiple times, with the game keeping track of how many turns the player took to defeat him. After beating him once, Culex would show up during the game's ending, briefly appearing in his 2-D form at the gathering in Monstermama's home.
**His backstory was different in the Japanese version, where he was described as a timeless being of pure evil. Him being a 2-D being puzzled by three-dimensional space was also part of the original Japanese script in the Super NES version. Some elements of this are reflected in the English version of the Switch remake, especially the 2-D aspect, but some references to Culex being an evil being are also present combined with his original backstory as the Dark Knight of Vanda from the English Super NES game.

==D==

*'''Director'''
**'''HP:''' 1000, '''Attack:''' 190, '''Defense:''' 120, '''Magic Attack:''' 57, '''Magic Defense:''' 80
**"I just lost EVERYTHING." / "The union, my son's exams, career changes... I've seen a lot during my time."
**Another of the armored axe-wielding officials in Smithy's Factory, the Director was similar to the rest of the Factory Staff and was accompanied by Poundettes in battle. Mario and Princess Peach confronted him as they made their way through Smithy's Factory. Peach pleaded with him to stop creating all these harmful machines, but the Director refused and engages the group in battle. The Director's attempt to melt Mario and his group down so that production may continue failed, and he was destroyed. His Thought Peek and Monster List entry mention the mundane aspects of his job, as he was dealing with a labor union while his son was going through exams, and he apparently shifted into the director role only recently.
*'''Dodo'''
**'''HP:''' 1000/800, '''Attack:''' 140, '''Defense:''' 100, '''Magic Attack:''' 9, '''Magic Defnese:''' 60
**"I'm STARVED!" / "I'm hungry..."
**"I'm starved...later!" / "I'm still hungry... I should head home already..."
**Dodo was Valentina's large and cowardly servant. In his Monster List entries in the Switch remakes, it was revealed that he imprinted on Valentina as a mother when he was born, but he became resentful of her when he realized that she was not his real mother and was using him. Dodo still served her loyally, as he was too scared to stand up to her and took out his anger on her statues instead. Valentina had Dodo pose as the long-missing Prince Mallow and Valentina's fiancee as a part of Valentina's plot to usurp the throne as queen of Nimbus Land. There were two optional chances to battle Dodo before the final battle with Valentina. First, there was a minigame in which Dodo was pecking statues, and Mario (who was posing as a statue to infiltrate the palace) had to dodge Dodo's pecks to maintain his cover without being spotted jumping. Dodo would be battled if Mario failed the minigame, or Mario could gain the Feather item by successfully duping Dodo and avoiding the battle. The second time was when Valentina and Dodo tried fleeing from Mario's group. Dodo could be seen running through a hallway and would be battled if Mario ran into him. However, a Super Star was found nearby, and that could be used to immediately knock Dodo out without battling him. During the final battle of Nimbus Land, Dodo fought alongside Valentina. Early in the match, Dodo would abduct one of Mario's partners (whoever is in the center) for a one-on-one battle until he was injured enough, at which point both characters would rejoin the main battle with Valentina. After a crushing defeat, Dodo and Valentina fled Nimbus Land, with Dodo carrying Valentina in the air while flying. Dodo later served as the officiant conducting Valentina's marriage to Booster and carried Valentina around in a palanquin in the ending parade.
*'''Domino'''
**'''HP:''' 900, '''Attack:''' 65, '''Defense:''' 140/80, '''Magic Attack:''' 120, '''Magic Defense:''' 150
**"MAGIC! DEAL with it!" / "I'll cast a spell on you! It's magic!"
**(Fused) "Sho...sho...shocked!" / "There's no feeling like blowing away your enemies. ♡"
**One of the two jester-like enemies who guarded the gates to Smithy's Factory alongside Cloaker. In contrast to his partner, Domino relied mostly on magical attacks and had low physical stats, although he did sport high Defense. If Cloaker was defeated first in the battle with Mario, Domino will board the Mad Adder, although doing so would cause his defense to drop. Domino would consider himself and the Mad Adder to be one being while riding it, but they still were defeated. His Monster List entry pokes fun at how a magic boss does not make sense with the industrial theme of the Smithy Gang.
*'''Dyna and Mite'''
**The children of Ma and Pa Mole living in Moleville. Dyna was a mischievous young girl, and Mite was her baby brother who was usually seen strapped to Dyna's back. In the game's story, they were trapped in the Mole Mines following a cave-in. Mario and the others soon arrived to rescue them, and they successfully escaped the mines via mine cart. Dyna had fun, although Mite was a bit shaken up by the experience. In the ending credits, they were seen hiding a top a King Bomb being carried by moles in the parade.

==E==

*'''Earth Crystal'''
**'''HP:''' 32000, '''Attack:''' 0, '''Defense:''' 70, '''Magic Attack:''' 80, '''Magic Defense:''' 33
**"I hate being awakened!" / "Of course I'd get woken up in the middle of a nice nap."
**(Earth Crystal 3D) '''HP:''' 42000
**"Personally, I'd never felt the need to become three-dimensional."
**One of the four crystals that joined Culex in battle, based on the same crystals from the ''Final Fantasy'' series. It was said to slumber within the earth and to have caused extra-bad earthquakes, setting off a number of amplified tremors at once when it awakened. It has the highest HP of the crystals but its other stats are relatively inferior. As its name suggests, it specializes in earth-based magic. It has special defenses against Jump attacks but is weak against Thunder attacks.

==F==

*'''Factory Chief'''
**'''HP:''' 1000, '''Attack:''' 200, '''Defense:''' 120, '''Magic Attack:''' 70, '''Magic Defense:''' 90
**"Who DARES to fight ME?!"
**The top employee of Smithy's staff and the last enemy battled prior to gaining access to Smithy's lair. He is both a ninja and a brilliant inventor, differentiating him from the other heavily-armored staff members. In battle with Mario's group, the Factory Chief is accompanied by his ultimate invention, the Gun Yolk. However, both he and his invention are defeated.
*'''Fire Crystal'''
**'''HP:''' 2500, '''Attack:''' 0, '''Defense:''' 100, '''Magic Attack:''' 130, '''Magic Defense:''' 60
**"I gotta vacuum tonight!"
**One of the four crystals that join Culex in battle, based on the four crystals from the Final Fantasy series. It has the highest Magic Attack of the crystals. As its name suggests, it specializes in fire-based magic. Thus it has special defenses against fire attacks but is weak against Ice attacks.
*'''Sergeant Flutter'''
**Flutter was the Paratroopa drill sergeant commanding a group of Sky Troopas in the service of Monstermama. Flutter came flying whenever Monstermama calls for him and always timed himself. In the game, Monstermama had Flutter and his Sky Troopas help Mario to reach Bean Valley from Land's End. To do so, they arranged themselves along an unscalable cliff, so that Mario could leap from one to the other in order to reach the top and find Bean Valley. Flutter also kept record of Mario's times in true military style and would reward Mario with a Troopa Medal and Flower Coins for a good time.
*'''Frog Sage'''
**The Frog Sage (named Frogfucius in the original localization, in reference to the Chinese philosopher Confucius) is the wise and ancient frog guru of Tadpole Pond with a taste for the theatrics (such as using a Lakitu with a fishing line to make it look like he can fly) and a love of cricket-based food. His wisdom is apparently due in part to the news that flows along the waterways of the world. The Frog Sage adopted the baby Nimbusian Mallow as his grandson, raising him to believe he was a frog since he had no idea of Mallow's true origins. He had Mallow run errands for him and encouraged him to control his emotions because of the effects his power had on the weather. It wasn't until Mallow met Mario that Frog Sage revealed the truth and sent Mallow away to search for his real parents. Afterwards, Frog Sage could provide advice about where to go next and needed to be visited to suggest going to Star Hill for the fourth Star Piece. He also rewarded them when they brought Cricket Pie or Jam. For the former, he gave them a Froggie Stick that he claimed to have used when he was Mallow's age. As part of the post-game quest (which was set before the game's ending), the Frog Sage would hint at the different opponents that could be rematched and was revealed to have lost his Sage Stick in Belome Temple long ago, which ended up in Mallow's possession. After all the rematches were complete, Frog Sage acknowledged Mario as unstoppable and started calling him Mario Sage. In the game's ending, Frog Sage showed up during Toadofsky's performance at Tadpole Pond and also dangled from the Lakitu Bus by Lakitu's fishing line while watching tadpoles in the ending parade.

==G==

*'''Garro'''
**Garro was a Nimbusian scultor who was friends with King Nimbus and designed royal sculptures for the palace. After Valentina took over, he was only allowed to make sculptures of her. Garro discovered the real Prince Mallow and then smuggled his partner Mario into the palace by making him look like a golden statue. He told the guards the statue was of Valentina's cousin "Marietta" while telling Valentina herself that it was a special piece called "In Search of Lost Brother" (or "A Plumber's Lament" in the Super NES version). After Mario and his friends overthrew Valentina, Garro made golden sculptures of Mario and his comrades that were displayed in Nimbus Palace. He was last seen attending Mallow's coronation in the ending.
*'''Gaz'''
**A young Toad boy who lived in the Rose Town inn, which was run by his mother. He had a collection of action figures that he often played with, including toys of Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser and Geno. When the real Mario arrived at the inn, Gaz convinces Mario to play with him, but he accidentally knocked him out with Geno's Finger Shot. That night, the Geno doll was possessed by a Star Spirit and ran off. Geno later returned with Mario to tell Gaz of his mission, and Gaz gave him his Finger Shot weapon to keep him safe. After the Star Spirit left Geno, the doll was returned to Gaz. In the ending, he and his mother were seen playing together with his toys, with Gaz using Geno again, before Gaz went to look out the window.
*'''Goomhilde'''
**Goomhilde was the head of Bowser's Goomba forces, who he described as "the grande dame of the groundling Goombas". She initially followed Bowser after they were all thrown from Bowser's Keep, but she abandoned him at one point due to being too afraid to fight Smithy. Instead, she settled down at Monstro Town and ran the local item shop with her triplets. Once Bowser saw her condition, he forgave her and assured her that he would take his castle back without her. While she always had a distinct name in the Japanese version, the English Super NES localization did not give her a name, and so it was unclear in that version that the Goomba running the Monstro Town shop had been the head Goomba of Bowser's forces seen earlier in the game.
*'''Grandma'''
**A Toad residing in the Mushroom Kingdom palace who acts as a chambermaid for Princess Peach, who refers to her as 'Grandma' (or Baaya in Japanese, which is a term of endearment for an elderly maid). She took care of Peach's room while she was away and chastised Mario for jumping on the bed as well as for discovering one of the princess's private personal items (known only as '???'). During Claymorton's occupation of the Mushroom Kingdom, she remained in Peach's room, which became a safe room for Toads fleeing Claymorton's men, and she would restore Mario and Mallow's health with her magic. After Peach was rescued and decided to join Mario on his adventure, Grandma disguised herself as Peach in order to placate the Chancellor's worries.
*'''Grate Guy'''
**'''HP:''' 900, '''Attack:''' 60, '''Defense:''' 40, '''Magic Attack:''' 25, '''Magic Defense:''' 40
**"Peace is just a dream." / "Can there be no new era without misfortune?"
**Grate Guy was the younger of the Clown Bros and rode around on a giant ball. His Monster List entry mentioned that he picked up ball-balancing as a hobby, and ended up being unable to stop himself from balancing on other things. It also said that he had the flaw of sweating while stressed. Though he was friends with Booster and hung around the tower often like his brother, Grate Guy also owned his own exclusive casino in the Land's End area known as Grate Guy's Casion. Both Clown Bros were deployed to stop Mario at the balcony on the top floor of Booster Tower while Booster escaped to Marrymore with Peach. In battle, Grate Guy had special defenses against Fire and Sleep attacks, but he was weak against Thunder attacks. After being defeated, Grate Guy returned to his casino and still welcomed Mario if he came with a Bright Card. At the Casino, Grate Guy would challenge Mario play a game of "Look the Other Way" for a variety of increasingly valuable prizes, with the ultimate prize being the Star Egg if Mario managed to win one hundred times.

==H==

*'''[[Hammer Bros.]]'''
**'''HP:''' 54, '''Attack:''' 6, '''Defense:''' 13, '''Magic Attack:''' 6, '''Magic Defense''': 8
**"I love my hammer!"
**The first pair of bosses in the game, the Hammer Bros. blocked the entrance to the Mushroom Kingdom town from Mushroom Way, where they held Toad hostage. Only one Hammer Brother appeared in the overworld, while the second jumped in as the battle started, which their Monster List entry poked fun at. After being defeated, they left behind the Hammer, the first weapon for Mario to equip.
*'''Huhwhat'''
**'''HP:''' 300, '''Attack:''' 30, '''Defense:''' 20, '''Special Attack:''' 20, '''Magic Defense''': 20
**"I'm trying to sleep, OK?" / "*grumble* Way to bother a person while they're sleeping."
**An enemy disguised as a treasure chest, found in the Kero Sewers. Huhwhat was the first of the treasure chest enemies to be battled in the game and left behind a Trueform Pin when defeated. He had special defenses against basically every time of attack save for Jumping attacks, which are his weak point. The original Super NES localization called him Pandorite in reference to Pandora's Box, a box from Greek mythology that when opened released all the world's evils.

==J==

*'''Jagger'''
**'''HP:''' 600, '''Attack:''' 120, '''Defense''': 80, '''Magic Attack:''' 0, '''Magic Defense:''' 50
**"Oh! I'm so excited!"
**Jagger was the head of the Terrapins under Bowser's command. He initially followed Bowser after being scattered from the castle, but he left Bowser's side at one point and ended up training under the martial arts master Jinx in Monstro Town in hopes of becoming strong enough to defeat Smithy. He would challenge Bowser and his companions to a sparring match if they meet. He had special defenses against jumping, fire and poison attacks with no weak points. After Jagger was defeated, Bowser helped Jagger to feel better by promising to take of Smithy himself. Jinx will then reveal himself and challenge Mario's group. If Jinx was beaten three times, Jagger would follow him in learning the Mario style of jumping. Jagger also played a role in the post-game sidequest in which Jinx was training with Jagger to try to master Triple Moves, even though Jagger noted the flaw that the two of them were a Double at most. After completing that quest, Jagger and Jinx would appear at the gathering in Monstermama's home in the ending.
*'''Jinx'''
**'''HP:''' 600/800/1000, '''Attack:''' 140/160/180, '''Defense''':100/120/140, '''Magic Attack''': 0, '''Magic Defense:''' 80/90/100
**"You're just a beginner!"
**"Sympathy!? Not from me!"
**"Ooh! I'm gonna hurt ya!"
**The head of the dojo in Monstro City. Jinx has amazing amounts of physical power packed into his tiny frame (being small enough to hide in a flower pot). He even has one-hit KO moves. Additionally, Jinx has no weakness and has special defenses against all special attacks save for jumping ones. After Mario defeats his pupil, Jagger, Mario can challenge him to a series of three battles. Jinx unleashes more power each time. After being defeated a third time, Jinx will admit Mario the superior, award him with the Jinx Belt, and rename his dojo after Mario. Jinx then trains in the Mario style of jumping.

==K==

*'''King Nimbus'''
**The monarch of Nimbus Land and Mallow's father. After Mallow went missing as a baby, he and the queen grieved and wished for his safe return. Mallow eventually came with Mario to save them from Valentina, who was trying to take over Nimbus Land. King Nimbus, in his bumbling manner, embarrassed his son by demanding autographs from Mallow's teammates and not taking the situation involving Smithy very seriously. However they did point him towards the next Star Piece and later allowed them to use the Sky Bus to reach Bowser's Keep. In the ending they oversaw the ceremony in which Mallow became prince.

**"Happiness is hip!"
**Knife Guy is the elder of the two Clown Bros with skills in juggling. They seem to be friends with Booster, as they're often seen hanging around his tower. He and Grate Guy were sent to stop Mario from pursuing Booster to Marrymore and battled him on Booster's balcony. Knife Guy used his juggling knives against the plumber in battle. He had Special Defenses against Thunder and Sleep attacks, but he was weak against Fire attacks. After being defeated, Knife Guy remained in Booster's Tower and played minigames with Mario. The prizes varied from worthless items to the special Bright Card which was needed to access Grate Guy's Casino.

==L==

*'''[[Luigi]]'''
**Mario's brother only made a handful of cameo appearances in the game. First he appeared as the host of the game's instruction manual. Later at [[Star Hill]], one of the wishes was from Luigi, which was a simple wish to be able to support his brother Mario (or to be a great plumber like him in the Super NES localization). In the Japanese version and Switch's English localization of the game, when Garro passed Mario off as a statue to Valentina, he referred to the statue's title as "In Search of Lost Brother" in possible acknowledgement of Luigi's absence. Finally, Luigi was seen leading the parade in the game's ending.

**Megasmilax was a piranha plant grown by Shy Away to battle Mario and his crew. This piranha was larger then the others and also had potent magic spells that can turn enemies into mushrooms. He's not alone in his body though, as smaller Smilaxes sprout from him to attack the crew. Despite this Megasmilax was vulnerable against Ice attacks. This lead to Megasmilax's destruction.
*'''Monstermama'''
**Monstermama was an elderly Toad acting as the landlady of Monstro Town and was very friendly to visitors. When Mario came looking for a Star Piece, Monstermama initially misunderstood what he was looking for and sent him to see the singing starfish upstairs.

Monstermama called for Sergeant Flutter and his Sky Troopa squad to help them reach Bean Valley, where the hidden passage to the sky was located.
*'''Three Musty Fears'''
**A trio of ghosts (a [[Boo]], a [[Dry Bones]] and a Glum Reaper) who haunted the inn at Monstro Town.

They could also appear at a gathering in Monstermama's home in the ending.

After Mario brings him a Bambino Bomb, Pa Mole is able to blow down the roadblock. However, he decides to stay behind so he does not get in Mario's way. The gamble payed off, as Mario saved Dyna and Mite, and delivered them back home. The whole ordeal only cost the moles one rooftop, which they were able to repair.

**"Minimum wage for THIS?!"
**These three Snifits are Booster's best friends who live with him in Booster's Tower. Booster often sends the Snifits out hunting for the beetles he loves so much. They work extra hard for the beetles while Booster is entertaining a princess who fell from the sky. Wandering into Moleville, the Snifits blurt out everything about the princess to some random man they encounter. But the man turns out to be Mario, and the princess turns out to be Princess Peach. Mario can each of the Snifits individually as he makes his way up Booster Tower. Later Booster holds a meeting with in which they plan for the wedding, and the Snifits teach Booster what a party is.

**A Snifit found in a hidden area of Booster Pass. He was in the academy and aspired to become one of Booster's personal servants as Snifster #4. He will challenge Mario to a battle if met, thinking that defeating Mario will guarantee him a place at Booster's side. It is possible to lose the fight without game overing, and this would result in him becoming Snifster #4. He would then be replaced by an identical Apprentice looking to become Snifster #5. The pattern could continue with apprentices looking to become Sniftsters 6 and then 7. The last apprentice would be one seeking to become Snifster #8. If Mario loses to him, it would turn out that there is no room for any Sniftsters beyond #7, and he would instead move on to Grate Guy's Casino.

==T==

*'''[[Toad]]'''
**Toad appears at several points in the game. First he greets Mario at his pad in order to pick up Peach and, after discovering she had been kidnapped again, he accompanied Mario back to the Mushroom Kingdom town. However, Toad was captured by enemies several times along the way, leaving Mario to rescue him. Despite this initial clumsiness, Toad was later able to follow Mario's group into the heart of Smithy's Factory, the most dangerous area in the game, in order to help Mario and the princess by selling them items.
*'''Toadofsky'''
**Toadofsky was a troubled composer who often visited the peaceful Tadpole Pond for inspiration. Ultimately his inspiration came from Mario, who taught him songs from across the different regions - Frog Sage's Suite #18, the Moleville Mine Blues and Star Lullaby. Toadofsky rewarded Mario's help with the Alto, Tenor and Soprano Cards,  which were used to shop at the local Juice Bar.

**"You wanna run, huh?!" / "I'm pretty strong, right? You're thinking about running away, right? Right?"
**The second of the game's treasure chest enemies, Whuhoh was found in the Sunken Ship. His special defenses and weak points were identical to Huhwhat's. Additionally, Whuhoh had the ability to summon deadly Mini Goombas to aid him in battle. After being defeated, Whuoh left behind the Safety Badge. He was named Hidon in the original Super NES localization.

While he was initially following Bowser in the aftermath of Smithy taking over the castle, Wizakoopa was separated from Bowser at one point and was brainwashed by Smithy, which causing his blue robes to turn red. He attacked Mario's group (which included Bowser) partway through the castle. In battle, Wizakoopa summoned various enemies, including clones of Jinx and the King Bomb. After being defeated, Wizakoopa's robes turned blue and he was freed from the brainwashing. Wizakoopa apologized and tried to make it up to Bowser by summoning a special treasure box that contained an unlimited amount of coins. He would also heal Mario's party at any time for free. The English localization of the game on the Super NES simply called him Magikoopa, and the Wizakoopa name was introduced in the Switch remake, based on his distinct name in the Japanese version (Kamezaado, combining words for "turtle" and "wizard" as opposed to the standard Japanese name for Magikoopa, Kamekku). Despite being named differently, his status and his Thought Peek entry suggest that he may actually be [[Kamek]].

==Y==

*'''[[Yoshi]]'''
**Mario's dinosaur friend appears at the Yo'ster Isle racetrack. As in other games, Yoshi allows Mario to ride on his back. Yoshi translates the speech of his fellow yoshis for Mario.
