- —Domino,Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Domino is a jester and high-ranking member of theSmithy Gang, and a boss fought in theWeapon World ofSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. In battle, he fights alongside his partnerCloaker and has a pet snake,Mad Adder. Like Cloaker, his design is heavily influenced by depictions of ancient Middle Eastern culture; in his case, he wears a veil and brightly colored stripes and is shaped like ahookah, with the rope in back resembling a hookah's hose. His use of a giant cobra also ties into this influence.
Both Cloaker and Domino challengeMario's party to a battle after he has fallen into a trap. In battle, Domino has strengths in magic use, though he has a physical weakness; his partner, Cloaker, complements the weakness by excelling at physical attacks. If Cloaker is defeated first, Domino retreats to his pet snake, the Mad Adder, and the two fuse, leading to another phase in the fight.
