Mallow's first role came in
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the
Seven Stars. He met Mario early
in his adventures, and needed
Mario's help to get his Coin
back from Croco, the guy who
stole it. Mallow was going to
use the coin to buy a Cricket
Pie for Frogfucious of Tadpole
Pond. Together, Mario and Mallow
took down Croco, got the Coin
back, and took the tasty snack
to Frogfucious.
Being from Tadpole Pond, Mallow
believed he was indeed a
tadpole. But really, he's a
puffy cloud thing. He learns
that when Frogfucious tells him
the story of his origin:
Frogfucious found him floating
down the river in a basket, and
on his belt, he had the name
"Mallow" written on it. From
that moment on, Mallow joined
Mario in his quest to find the 7
Star Pieces, in hopes that along
the way he'll find his true
parents.
During his adventure with Mario,
Mallow finds a startling
revelation on Star Hill. For a
long time, Mallow's parents have
been wishing for him to find his
way home. With that knowledge,
Mallow begins to feel sad, and
with him knowing he had true
parents, searched more fiercely.
When the party reaches Nimbus
Land, there's already a prince
named Mallow there! Thing is,
all the residents are puffy
cloud people like Mallow, and
this so called prince is not. It
turns out that it is Dodo, a
member of the Smithy Gang, who
is the inferior to Valentina.
Dodo and Valentina have been
impersonating the queen and
prince in order to rule Nimbus
Land.
Mario and crew defeat the
impersonators and free the real
King and Queen Nimbus. They tell
Mallow that he indeed is a
prince, and that they are his
true parents. But they feel as
though it's more important to
find the missing Star Pieces and
repair the Star Road, so Mallow
continues with Mario on his
journey.
In the end, Mallow helps bring
back the Star Pieces from the
Smithy Gang, and he returns to
Nimbus Land where he resumes his
role as prince. |

Mallow only has 3 weapon types:
Staves, Cymbals, and Gloves.
Mallow's most famous quote comes
in Forest Maze, and is one of
the more famous quotes in the
entire Mario series. "Who do you
think you are, Bruce Lee?" For
those don't know, Bruce Lee was
a master of fighting and martial
arts, and is a reference when
Mario wanted to go in on Bowyer
with his fists flying.
Mallow is the only playable
character in Super Mario RPG
that has a physical-appearing
family.
Mallow can separate himself
along the waste line, which he
does for his magic attacks.
Mallow's Coin is actually a Frog
Coin, a different type of
currency developed later in the
game. |
