Exor the Sword is the secondary antagonist of the 1996 role-playing video game Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its 2023 remake, simply titled Super Mario RPG. He is a giant sentient sword in charge of being the gateway between the Mushroom Kingdom and the Smithy Factory.
Biography[]
Exor first appeared descending to King Bowser's Keep when he destroyed the Star Road and spread the Seven Stars across the world. This prevented any wishes that are made from being granted, while Exor settles on Bowser's Castle causing a great crash. This crash also sends Mario, Princess Peach Toadstool and Bowser flying in different direction. The Smithy Gang then proceeded to take over the Koopa lord's castle as their main base in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Mario immediately returns to Bowser's Keep just to learn from Exor that the palace now belongs to the Smithy Gang and he destroys the bridge to prevent anyone from getting back in while Mario gets back across before it collapses.
Once Mario gets six Stars, he and his party will return to Bowser's Keep in a bus from Nimbus Land. When they reach the roof, they will confront Exor in a battle which Exor loses. Exor then transports them to Smithy's Dimension where the Smithy Factory is located.
When Smithy and his gang are finally defeated, Exor withers away and disappears from Bowser's Keep as Mario and his party look on.

Trivia[]
- Exor was erroneously named "Smithy the Sword" in a television commercial promoting the videogame in its American release, probably also suggesting that he was the main antagonist of the game.
- For some unexplained reason, his mouth is labled the "Neosquid" when selecting to attack it.
- His Japanese name "Karibā" (カリバー) is a partial name-play off of the legendary sword "Excalibur" from the story of King Arthur.
- According to his Psychopath thoughts, Exor has astigmatism in his right eye and is blind in the left one.
- Exor is the only Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars boss (aside from the Yaridovich clones) that is not immune to the special effect of the Geno Whirl attack (which does 9999 damage if executed correctly and defeats him in one turn).
- Although the face that holds the Neosquid, Right Eye, and Left Eye is actually Exor, due to the Neosquid moving at the beginning of the game, the in-battle dialogue box calls the skeletal pommel Exor.
- He slightly resembles Claymorton who is another sword-based member of the Smithy Gang.
