LinkTheLefty (talk | contribs) (The dirt/Earth metal/Mercury "Link" makes it pretty intentional, but there is another possibility here, and given the Switch remake's "maetelink" filename plus the allusions to other Japanese media, I wouldn't be surprised.) |

{{quote|It's clobbering time!|Domino|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}} | |||
'''Domino''' is a jester and high-ranking member of the [[Smithy Gang]], and a boss fought in the [[Weapon World]] of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. In battle, he fights alongside his partner [[Cloaker]] and has a pet snake, [[Mad Adder]]. Like Cloaker, his design is heavily influenced by depictions of ancient Middle Eastern culture; in his case, he wears a veil and brightly colored stripes and is shaped like a hookah, with the rope in back resembling a hookah's hose. His use of a giant cobra also ties into this influence. | '''Domino''' is a jester and high-ranking member of the [[Smithy Gang]], and a boss fought in the [[Weapon World]] of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.
