Their presence is mentioned once by Speardovich, but don’t debut until the very end of the sixth [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Piece]] arc. After Mario and company journey through [[Barrel Volcano]] and defeat the [[Czar Dragon]], they discover the star piece seemingly unguarded. Mario attempts to collect it in the usual fashion but is thwarted by Axem Red, who steals the star at the very last second before Mario can touch it. The Axem Rangers then each appear, introducing themselves with catchphrases and action poses, satirizing the classical depiction of superheroes and supervillains in mainstream media. Followed closely by Mario & co., the Axem Rangers escape to their battleship, the Blade, and are officially encountered outside the volcano once Mario [[jump]]s onto the deck of the airship. | ||
As a boss fight, the Axem Rangers present multiple targets for the player to consider attacking. Once defeated, each Ranger has a brief dialogue with Axem Red and then stops taking their turn despite remaining present on the battlefield. Once all five HPs have reached 0, the Axem Rangers then combine their HPs into a single 999-point health bar representing the Blade’s core power source, which only attacks with the devastating [[Breaker Beam]] and marks the last enemy to be defeated as part of the game’s story before Mario & company finally make it back to Bowser’s Keep for the end of the game. Monochromatic versions of the Axem Rangers called [[Machine Made]]s are encountered in the [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]], each resembling one of the original Axem Rangers in appearance, stats, and moveset. | As a boss fight, the Axem Rangers present multiple targets for the player to consider attacking.
