—Jester, Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)

Jesters are clowns that work for Booster in his amusement tower in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. They wear white masks, red hats, and large white gloves. In combat, a Jester's primary attack is hitting an intruder with its massive hand. They can also use cards to deliver damage. Finally, a Jester can use Flame Stone, which causes a fireball to fall from the sky and crash into an opponent, causing massive damage.

Among the unused sprites of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, there is an enemy named Harlequin, which is a Jester lookalike. The only noticeable differences is Harlequin's green color and the lack of Magic Attacks. Its thought is "Kekekekekekekekekeka!".

Monster List profile They carry cards with them, so they're always ready to play. But their habit of throwing cards means they never get to play with a full deck.
