Rashay is the overarching antagonist and final boss of Super Mario 64: Last Impact, a ROM Hack of the famous video game Super Mario 64.
He is a godlike and celestial moon spirit who harbors a malicious plan cause chaos and destruction by orchestrating the imminent collision of the moon with the planet, purely for his own amusement.
As the game progresses, he devises a cunning scheme to abduct Princess Peach, employing her as a bargaining tool to manipulate and coerce Mario into embarking on a perilous quest. The primary objective set forth by this malevolent spirit is for Mario to procure a staggering total of 80 Power Stars, coveted sources of immense energy, which the spirit plans to harness in order to transcend his already formidable power and ascend to an even greater level of dominance.
Appearance[]
Upon his initial arrival, Rashay presents himself as nothing more than a disembodied face and a solitary hand suspending in the air.
When Rashay transforms into his Moon Spirit form, he takes on the appearance of a spectral entity, bearing eerie similarities to Bowser. With his ghostly figure, razor-sharp teeth, intimidating eyes, shadowy claws, and a head adorned with menacing spikes, Rashay embodies a haunting presence that strikes fear into the hearts of those who witness his transformation.
When he reaches his ultimate transformation, he takes on the appearance of a dragon made entirely of bones, with eight menacing dark claws, a lengthy bony tail, and a distinct marking on his head that serves as his vulnerability. Remarkably similar to his previous manifestation as the Moon Spirit, he bears a striking resemblance to the notorious character Dry Bowser.
Personality[]
He possesses a twisted, ruthless, diabolical, sadistic, and misanthropic nature that is truly unparalleled. His cruelty knows no bounds, and he is cunning and deceitful in his actions, displaying a level of malice that is beyond comprehension. The reasons behind his relentless pursuit to annihilate the world remain shrouded in mystery, but it is possible that he derives sheer amusement from doing so. It is evident that he derives immense satisfaction from inflicting excruciating pain, as he derives immense pleasure from tormenting Mario during their ultimate showdown, and even goes to the extent of subjecting Peach to the horrifying spectacle of witnessing Mario's near-death experience.
In addition to his merciless nature, he exhibits no hesitation in obliterating entire planets, exemplified by his audacious endeavor to annihilate Earth, which he perceives as a mere trivial pursuit. Moreover, he indulges in various nefarious activities, including the abduction of Princess Peach and cunningly manipulating circumstances to falsely implicate Bowser for the rampant disorder in the kingdom. Furthermore, it is evident that he possesses an immense level of arrogance and narcissism. This is apparent in the way he carries himself, seemingly considering himself superior to mere mortals. This is exemplified by his derogatory reference to Peach as a mere "thing," a clear indication of his disdain for humanity. Additionally, Rashay's self-proclaimed title as a god further exemplifies his inflated sense of self-importance. Even though he admits to not being at his full potential during the final confrontation, he still maintains an unwavering belief that he is in a state where he can dismiss Mario without any serious consideration.
However, Rashay's excessive pride and arrogance ultimately lead to his own downfall, as he foolishly underestimates the unwavering determination of Mario. Despite the odds stacked against him, the valiant plumber defies all expectations and not only withstands Rashay's relentless attacks but also manages to gather and harness the extraordinary power of the stars he has diligently collected throughout his perilous journey. With this newfound strength, Mario successfully vanquishes Rashay, eliminating the imminent danger he poses and potentially ensuring a peaceful existence for all eternity.
