'''Punchinello''' is one of the major bosses encountered in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. He is named after {{wp|Pulcinella}}, a classical character in Italian theater and puppetry. His name may have also been taken from Pulcinella's English variant, {{wp|Punch and Judy|Mr. Punch}}. He mainly uses variations of [[Bob-omb]]s while fighting. When one of the seven [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]]s crashed into the [[Mole Mines]] at [[Moleville]], he took it for himself. Punchinello also wants to be famous, according to his wish on [[Star Hill]] and his [[Thought Peek]] thought. When [[Mario]] and his allies arrive in Punchinello's area looking for the Star Piece, he thinks that he can become famous if he can defeat them and engages them in battle.

Despite him guarding a Star Piece and having a weapon motif, Punchinello does not appear to have any affiliation with the [[Smithy Gang]]. Regular boss music plays when fighting Punchinello instead of the music played during fights with Smithy Gang bosses, there are no [[Machine Made]] replicas of Punchinello in the [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]], and Punchinello is not mentioned among the fallen Smithy Gang members by the [[Clerk]]. Additionally, one of the wishes in [[Star Hill]] appears to be his.

If Mario walks up in front of him, he shoves Mario away with his arms, sending Mario back into the other room. Thus Mario must be behind or near the side of Punchinello to start battling.
