Drill Bit (Japanese: ツッツン, Tsuttsun) is a minor character built by the Smithy Gang in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It seems to be related to Jabits, as it is a recolor of them, but it had not entered mass-production by the time of the arrival of Mario and company. It is first mentioned late in the game by one of the Manager's Pounders as a new creation that was finished ahead of schedule, but its only real role in the final game is acting as one of Smithy's three advisors that appear at the end of his initial fight (alongside Aero and a Shyster), telling Smithy that it would be best if he did not shake the floor in anger for his own sake.
