Shamans are first encountered near the [[sea]] area and the [[Sunken Ship]] as shopkeepers, selling Mario and his party items and weapons. After Mario buys items from the latter, the Shaman verifies whether Mario's password to access the ship's treasure room is correct or not, stating how many letters (if any at all) are correct and giving a hint on that the password relates to the sea. | In ''Super Mario RPG'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], Shamans are first encountered near the [[sea]] area and the [[Sunken Ship]] as shopkeepers, selling Mario and his party items and weapons.

They later appear in the [[Belome Temple]], again, as merchants. One allows Mario access to a warp [[trampoline]] for 100 [[coin]]s, and another allows Mario to receive his fortune, as well as access to the rest of the temple, for 50 coins. There is another Shaman later on, who tells Mario that the fortune he receives from a Belome statue determines the destination of the next room. In the caverns of [[Land's End]] outside the temple, there is another Shaman, who sells Mario a [[Super Star|star]] for 400 coins. | They later appear in the [[Belome Temple]], again, as merchants.

*According to concept art, a prototypical form of this enemy appears to have been known as「まじあん」(''Majian'', Magian) and wielded a cane. It would have been one of the three types of minions brainwashed by a cut cane weapon beast, together with [[Magikoopa]] and [[Shy Guy]].<ref>kurashimakaz (March 10, 2021).

*Shaman's Monster List profile in the remake seems to refer to the Shaman NPCs seen throughout the game, though it also may be a reference to the various shops run by Shaman characters in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. | |||
