Claymorton was constructed in Smithy's Factory within [[Weapon World]] to serve as one of Smithy's lieutenants. He took on the form of a red armored humanoid figure with horns and a cape, and he rode atop the hilt of a spring-loaded upside-down sword that functioned as a pogo stick. The hilt had structures that resembled eyes, but it was unclear if it had sentience of its own. Claymorton commanded a force consisting of [[Shy Guy|Shymores]] that similarly rode bouncing swords and were obsessed with the action of bouncing. According to his Monster List entry, Claymorton loved bouncing even more than his subordinates, and his primary thoughts related to how cool he could make his next bounce.

Mack was constructed in Smithy's Factory to serve as one of Smithy's lieutenants. He was a small armored man who rode a pogo stick resembling an upside down knife. Mack attacks the Mushroom castle with a swarm of Shysters and takes it over in search of one of the Star Pieces. Mack and his Shysters were ready to throw a party when Mario's band of adventurers challenged him. Mack was destroyed in the following battle, and the Star Piece was found behind the throne. It is uncertain whether Mack had found the Star Piece and hidden it there, or if it was there the whole time and Mack had just never bothered to check right behind him.

Once the Smithy Gang began their invasion in ''Super Mario RPG'', Claymorton's force took over the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] while [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]] were dealing with bandits at Bandit's Way. Claymorton occupied the throne room while the [[Characters in Super Mario RPG|Chancellor]] huddled in a corner, and one Star Piece was kept behind the throne. Claymorton and his Shymores were ready to celebrate their victory when Mario and Mallow arrived to challenge him. Claymorton was destroyed in the following battle, and Mario retrieved his first Star Piece in the aftermath.

Weaker monochrome "Machine Made" versions of Mack continued to be produced in Smithy's Factory. Additionally, Mack was seen in the ending parade but was likely just an actor in disguise.

Weaker monochrome "Machine Made" versions of Claymorton continued to be produced in Smithy's Factory. In its Thought Peek, the Machine Made would address Mario by name and declare that he's back, implying that the copy either retained the original's memories or had some knowledge of his experiences. Claymorton was also seen in the ending parade alongside [[Bowyer]] and [[Speardovich]], with the three of them being squished by Smithy's hammer.

*His Japanese name is Kenzooru, based on 'kendo', an art of fencing. In the original Super NES release, the English localization gave him the name "MacK", seemingly in reference to the song "Mack the Knife". The [[Super Mario RPG (Switch)|Switch remake]] would later rename him Claymorton, as a play on 'claymore' (a type of sword) with the name 'Morton', which matched the naming scheme of the other Smithy Gang members.
