Axem Rangers: Difference between revisions

The '''Axem Rangers''' are a team of teenage<ref>''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 4.</ref> warriors within the [[Smithy Gang]] and appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. There are five members, each with their own distinct traits and abilities. Each member has a similar trait to any one member of [[Mario]]'s group: Black has high speed and fights mainly with non-elemental special attacks like Geno, Green specializes in elemental magic but lacks physical strength like Mallow, Pink is female and uses both healing and  status-affecting magic while having the lowest attack and HP like Peach, Yellow is the bulkiest member while boasting the highest physical attack and defense like Bowser, and Red is the leader while being a balanced fighter like Mario. However, all five of them wield a small axe in combat. Additionally, the Axem Rangers have their own battleship, aptly named [[The Blade|the Blade]]. [[Axem Red]] is the leader of the group. The Axem Rangers are a parody of the ''[[wikipedia:Super Sentai|Super Sentai]]'' series in Japan, which is the basis for the ''[[wikipedia:Power Rangers|Power Rangers]]'' series in the United States.

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)|Factory]], each resembling one of the original Axem Rangers in appearance, stats, and moveset.

*In battle, the Blade is mistakenly referred to as "Axem Rangers" in the English version. The player actually fights the ship, not their combined forces.

*The scene where the Axem Rangers attempt to flee Mario upon noticing his pursuing them was rewritten from the Japanese version. Originally, they realized they had not actually announced themselves and considered going back to Mario to redo their introduction before Green points out that he had already caught up with them. The English localization has them instead express disgust at Mario's moustache with Green then berating Yellow for not realizing he is in fact Mario.<ref>https://youtu.be/HSiWrU2aYyA?t=4045</ref>

* When defeated individually, the Axem Rangers will say the following quotes:

** Red: Oh, my head is spinning!

** Green: I've got a headache!

** Red: You're totally out of shape!

** Yellow: I'm...hungry!

** Red: Chew on your tongue!

** Black: I broke my shades!

** Red: Serves you right!

** Pink: My makeup's running!

** Red: Then change brands!
