'''Shaker''' is a [[mortal blow]] used by [[Boomer (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Boomer]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Boomer is the only character that can use this move. When using this attack, Boomer delivers a powerful strike to [[Mario]] or one of his allies with his katana, automatically [[down]]ing the selected party member. This attack can be completely nullified by wearing a [[Jinx Belt]] or a [[Quartz Charm]]. The attacked party member can also press {{button|snes|A}} at the [[Timed Hit|right moment]] to deflect the attack; a perfectly [[Timed Hit|timed block]] completely nullifies the damage, while a block delivered a little too early or a little too late leaves the player with only one [[Heart Point|Hit Point]] (but prevents them from being downed).

*The Japanese name of the attack, ''Tsubame Gaeshi'', not only refers to a technique used by {{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}, but it also refers to the {{wikia|finalfantasy|Desperation Attack|Hidden Blitz}} used by {{wikia|finalfantasy|Cyan Garamonde|Cyan}} in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VI}}'', known in the original [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] release as "Back Blade".
