- “So you're THE Mario, eh? Arr harr, harr...! Not much to look at...Well, this star fell into MY SEA, so it's MINE! If you want it, you'll have to fight for it!”
- —Jonathan Jones, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Jonathan Jones (known to his friends as Johnny) is the leader of a band of pirate sharks in the game Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and the Nintendo Switch remake. Though he appears to be a shark, a glowing yellow eye can be seen within his "mouth," suggesting he may be wearing a shark costume. His base of operations is the Sunken Ship near Seaside Town; he is known as the "most notorious pirate ever to roam" the Seaside region.[1] Johnny's weapon of choice is a trident, which he uses to skewer his opponents. Although Johnny is a pirate, he has a strict code of honor and will be loyal to anyone who can defeat him in battle.
History
During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, one of the seven Star Pieces is said to have crashed into the ocean, where it was later recovered by Johnny and his pirates. When Mario arrives to claim the Star Piece for the elder of Seaside Town, Johnny states that he will only hand over the relic if Mario and his allies can defeat him in battle. The pirate leader starts the fight with four Bandana Blues assisting him. If the party defeats all of the Bandana Blues, Johnny challenges Mario to a one-on-one duel. Additionally, after his HP drops below half, Johnny uses Get Tough, causing his skin to turn red and increasing his attack and defense for the rest of the battle. When Johnny is defeated, he befriends Mario and hands him the Star Piece.
When Speardovich tries to escape with the Star Piece, Johnny appears with some of his crew to block his exit as he attempts to jump into the water, forcing him to battle Mario and his party. After Speardovich is defeated, a note left by Johnny can be seen on a tree, explaining that he was unable to watch because his gills would not allow him to stay outside the water any longer, but that he is sure that Mario was able to easily defeat Speardovich. The note also states that his crew saw a flying ax in the sky, which he is certain is related to the Smithy Gang.
During the ending sequence, Johnny appears on the cliff where the Speardovich battle takes place, gazing out onto the sunset. He and Bandana Reds are also seen on a float based on the Sunken Ship (moved by King Calamari's tentacles) during the ending parade.
In the Nintendo Switch remake, Johnny returns with a post-game rematch, where he is called Duel-Ready Johnny. For the entire battle, Mario and Johnny fight one-on-one, and Mario is unable to use items. After the rematch, he rewards Mario with the Extra-Shiny Stone, which allows Mario to rematch Culex.

Trivia
- In his in-game battle sprites, Johnny has a prominent hook on his left arm. However, his artwork and field sprites show him with two-fingered blue hands on both arms. In the remake, he has his hook consistently.
- If Mario stands on top of Johnny, he will respond with, "Yo, mate! Just 'cuz we're buds doesn't give ya the right to jump on my head."
