Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars / Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)[edit]
Dark Mage[edit]
The Dark Mage is a character mentioned in the English localization of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. The only thing known about the Dark Mage is that he sent Culex to Mario's universe to fight on his behalf, though it turns out that Mario's world is uninhabitable by his kind. The Dark Mage is a possible reference to the iconic Black Mage class that appears throughout the Final Fantasy series. He is unmentioned in the Japanese version.[1] In the remake, the Dark Mage is mentioned in Western languages, but is still unmentioned in Eastern languages. As Culex's characterization is closer to the Japanese version, it is also implied that the Dark Mage used evil magic to create or subjugate Culex in the first place.

The Cap'n[edit]
The Cap'n is a character that is mentioned in Super Mario 64 and its remake, Super Mario 64 DS. In a cavern accessible by swimming through an underwater tunnel past the ship in Jolly Roger Bay, there is a sign with a message from the Cap'n stating that anybody who enters will "meet certain disaster". At the end of the cavern, another sign near a group of treasure chests contains a second message from the Cap'n, this time stating that to obtain his treasure, the player must open the treasure chests in the correct order, but does not explain what the order is. Opening the chests reveals that the Cap'n's "treasure" is the Power Star for the third mission.
As the word "cap'n" is simply short for the word "captain", the title has been used in other Super Mario games; an example of this is in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, where the captain of the S.S. Chuckola is referred to as "Cap'n" in one line of dialogue.
