Item description, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

The Drill Claw is a weapon for Bowser in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It acts as a stronger version of Bowser's default weaponless attack, with him slashing his right hand's claws against his enemy. Like the default attack, a timed hit can be performed by pressing the button as he scratches, causing him to jab his left hand's claws forward for more damage. Unlike the default attack, Bowser vibrates his left arm around in a drilling motion as he does so. The Drill Claw has an attack power of 40 points with a random variation of up to seven points above and below, making it Bowser's strongest weapon. Only a single Drill Claw exists in the game, found in a treasure box at the end of one of the battle courses at Bowser's Keep. It can be sold for 59 coins, but cannot be replaced.
