'''Aero''' is an arrow-like projectile that was fired by [[Bowyer]] during his siege of [[Rose Town]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. These arrows are laced with a special potion,<ref>''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 25.</ref> allowing them to cause paralysis when they hit their target. As such, Bowyer fires arrows into Rose Town, paralyzing its inhabitants. However, Bowyer has terrible accuracy, resulting in almost all Aeroes landing harmlessly on the ground in both Rose Town and the [[Forest Maze]] where Bowyer is stationed. | |||
When [[Mario]] is hit by one of these arrows, he will not be permanently paralyzed; rather, he is briefly knocked unconscious. Although Mario takes no damage, being hit by an Aero can be dangerous. While in the Forest Maze, if Mario is stunned, he will be unable to run away from attacking monsters. However, since these Aeroes attacks are random, Mario will most likely never be hit even once. | |||
Shortly after Mario and [[Mallow]] discover and hide from Bowyer after stumbling upon him deep within the Forest Maze, they can only watch as Bowyer and his many Aeroes laugh about the helpless citizens of Rose Town. Before they can react, a single Aero is revealed to have found the green [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Piece]] somewhere in the forest, which he in turn presents to Bowyer. | |||
During Mario's confrontation with Bowyer, Aeroes are used by Bowyer as a standard physical attack and as a [[Sleep]] inducing special attack. Additionally, Aeroes are used to lock controller buttons, preventing Mario's party from using certain commands. Eventually, Mario and company defeat the maniacal Bowyer and his minions. | |||
One Aero hid behind a tree stump and watched the battle. After eavesdropping on Mario and the gang, this lone Aero rushes to the [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]] to inform his [[Smithy|boss]] about the importance of the Star Pieces. | |||
In-production Aeroes later appear in the Factory. Like in Rose Town and the Forest Maze, Aeroes briefly knock Mario out, allowing enemies to attack the unconscious plumber. Unfortunately, these Aeroes are more accurate than the previous ones, meaning Mario will often be hit and paralyzed. The source of these arrows is unknown, but they are probably fired by an off-screen [[Machine Made]] Bowyer or a security trap. Like the original, mass-produced versions of Bowyer also use these Aeroes in battle. | |||
During the final fight against [[Smithy]], the Aero is one of three characters that warns Smithy against smashing the floor of the platform, which ultimately breaks. This may have been the same one that witnessed Bowyer's defeat. | |||
