Geno

From Freepedia

Geno is the name of a doll belonging to Gaz, the Rose Town innkeeper's son in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. An agent sent from the Star Road to recover the seven star pieces inhabits this doll, and since his true name is rather "hard to pronounce" (as it consists in the game of various decorative symbols: ♥♪!?), he is called Geno. Throughout the game, Geno offers advice to the party, as a mystical sage-type figure. Geno's attacks are part magic and part projectile; his regular attacks shoot various bullets from his arms, and his special attacks tend to involve beams of light shot from a cannon. Of particular note is his "Geno Whirl" attack, which, if properly timed, can produce 9,999 points of damage to enemies, making it the most powerful move in the game. Unfortunately, it did not work on bosses (except Exor). At the end of the game, Geno returns to the repaired Star Road, reverting back his orginal form.

Geno's abilities:

• Geno Beam - Shoots a beam on an enemy. Hold until 3 stars appear for more damage.
• Geno Boost - Press in end of the up-going arrows to boost defense AND attack.
• Geno Whirl - If the attack is correctly timed, it will damage 9999 on an non-boss enemy (such as Culex).
• Geno Blast - Lights come from the sky. Hold util 3 stars appear for more damage.
• Geno Flash - Geno forms himself to a cannon, and shoots a big red light. Hold until 3 stars appears for more damage.

The character returns for a cameo appearance in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga as an instructional aid in a casino minigame.
