—Director,Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

TheDirector is a high-ranking member of theSmithy Gang and the second-strongest supervisor of the assembly lines ofSmithy'sFactory inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and itsNintendo Switch remake. He is the third-highest-ranking official on the management staff: above theClerk and theManager, but below theFactory Chief andSmithy himself. During battle, the Director wields a large axe that resemblesthe Blade. He is also protected by fourPoundettes, the strongest version of theMad Mallet enemy.

InSuper Mario-kun (volume 51, chapter 14), the Director is the only one met in the Factory. He kindly presents himself to the heroes and offers them some drinks: trusting him, Mario,Bowser,Peach, andMallow accept the drinks, only to discover that they had been spiked with poison, though Mario is unaffected by it. Right then, Smithy appears, and the Director exits from the scene, never to be seen again. In the manga, the Director's body is not seen (the feet and arms are directly connected to the head) and two big eyes are shown behind the helmet.
