Smilax is found in the [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] in [[Bean Valley]] that leads to [[Nimbus Land]] to prevent any intruder from interfering with [[Valentina]]'s plans to dethrone the [[King Nimbus|royal]] [[Queen Nimbus|family]]. During their search for the sixth [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]], [[Mario]] and his party comes across Smilax and fight it in a four-stage battle in order to free access to the sky.

The plant starts with a single bud, itself called Smilax. After the bud is defeated, Valentina's [[Beezo]] arrives and pours water on it, causing it to grow two Smilax buds. This process is repeated to grow three Smilax buds. Subsequently, the large flower, known as '''Megasmilax''', blooms with two remaining Smilaxes. If Megasmilax is defeated first, it will instantly defeat any remaining Smilaxes. The original artwork of Megasmilax depicts it with three Smilaxes; however, Megasmilax only blooms with two Smilaxes in-game.

In battle, the smaller Smilaxes cast [[Hot Shot]] and [[Flame (move)|Flame]]. Megasmilax can cast [[Petal Blast]].

The stem of the flower in its first phase has an internal enemy entry known as "Thrax" in the English version and 「クィーンフラワー」 (or "Queen Flower," shared with Megasmilax) in the Japanese version. It is possible that the player was originally meant to be able to one-shot Smilax before it grows buds if a character had high enough speed (similar to the original [[Naval Piranha]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''), although it was [[list of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content|unimplemented]].
