'''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.

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)|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. | Despite him guarding a Star Piece and having a weapon motif, Punchinello does not appear to have any affiliation with the [[Smithy Gang]].

In the remake's post-game, a stronger version of Punchinello titled '''Leveled-Up Punchinello''' can be fought. He is the second boss to be encountered, after [[Belome|Scratchy-Throat Belome]]. Before battle, he expresses his desire to defeat [[Bowser]] in order to become famous. After the fight, he upgrades Bowser's [[Chain Chomp]] into a [[Wonder Chomp]], and is offered a chance to rebuild [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]], to which he obliges in order to gain a little fame. In the ending cutscene if the player defeats [[Smithy]] after defeating [[Culex|Culex 3D]], Punchinello helps with the repairs in Bowser's Keep. | In the remake's post-game, a stronger version of Punchinello titled '''Leveled-Up Punchinello''' can be fought.

*Punchinello's introduction in the original SNES localization, "Nello... PUNCHINELLO!", is a reference to {{wp|James Bond}}'s catchphrase of being "Bond, James Bond". Translator [[Ted Woolsey]] originally wanted to name him "James Bomb", which explains why Punchinello introduces himself this way, but management refused to allow it.<ref>[ | *Punchinello's introduction in the original SNES localization, "Nello...PUNCHINELLO!", is a reference to {{wp|James Bond}}'s catchphrase of being "Bond, James Bond".
