Jabits are small, bespectacled, green and graydrill bit creatures and members of theSmithy Gang. They appear inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Their name is a portmanteau of "jab" and "bit", short for "drill bit", and may have been intentionally set up similar toSnifits.
Jabits (along withNinjas) are the security of Smithy Gang and are usually wandering around theWeapon World. Jabits are apparently easy to make in large numbers because their usual plan of attack is self-destructing. They are often accompanied in battle byMad Mallets andPoundettes. Also, in the assembly-line section of the factory,Mario can observe the process of Jabits being manufactured.
Drill Bit, a unique red Jabit who was newly created at the time of Mario's arrival, appears once to try to talk some sense intoSmithy, alongside aShymore and anAero. Drill Bit was also anunused enemy, with battle data for one to four Drill Bits, suggesting it was going to be an enemy group variant. In addition, fourMachine Made versions of these types of enemies appear when theYaridovich copies use a move calledMultiplier!, suggesting they may have additionally had a similar role to Yaridovich'sMirage attack! in the final. Theirthought is "This is for Yaridovich!" further suggesting they were intended to be his minions, asShysters are toMack and Aeros are toBowyer. In the remake, the Machine Mades created by the Machine Made Speardovich are instead named Jabits.
