This is an in-depth guide to the battle-system of Paper Mario for the N64.
One of the things I like about this game is that the stats and formulas are
simple and explanatory; there are few hidden calculations, and stats are kept
low enough that they are easy to remember.

Obviously, with such a simple system, it should be a snap to make a complete
guide to all the character stats, resistences, AI, etc.  However, looking
around the internet, I found no information on how well certain status
ailments worked, or other such data.

As I find this game to have good replayability (due to the great amount of
restrictions/challenges you can make to give a different experiences each
time), I decided that it would be helpful to present this information for
others to use.  I know that this game is old now, but, hopefully, someone will
be helped out by this guide.  At the very least, there should be some new 
information in here for most everybody.


 _____________________________________________________________________________
\                                                                             /

/_____________________________________________________________________________\

The purpose of this section is to explain how exactly the game calculates the
damage done to the recipient of an attack.  Paper Mario does have a very
simple battle system, but for the sake of completion, I will include how to
determine the damage done by attacks from both sides.  At the very least, this
section should clear up any confusion as to how and when shrinking and Last
Stand actually halve the damage done.


 _____________________________________________________________________________
\                                                                             /
<  2a. Enemy Attacks                                                          >
/_____________________________________________________________________________\

To calculate the amount of damage Mario takes from an enemy's attack, do the
following steps in order:

1) Start with the power of the attack (see section 5c).
2) If the enemy's attack power has been boosted by a Magikoopa, add 1 for each
   boost (ranges from 1 to 3).
3) If the enemy is inflicted with Attack Drop, subtract 3.
4) If the enemy is shrunk, divide by two, rounding down.
5) Subtract Mario's defence (ranges from -1 to 8).
6) If Mario is in danger (HP is 5 or below) and the Last Stand badge is
   equipped, divide by two, rounding down.
7) If Mario blocked the attack, subtract by one more than the number of Damage
   Dodge badges equipped (ranges from 1 to 3).

For Mario's partners, simply omit steps 5 and 6, and reduce all damage to zero
upon a successful block.

Obviously, if the final result is zero or less, Mario receives no damage
(although he is still susceptible to secondary effects of the attack).  See
section 3c for what happens if Mario's partner takes damage.

Mario's defence is naturally zero.  To achieve a defence of -1, equip the
P-Up, D-Down badge.  To achieve a defence of 8, equip the Defend Plus, Fire
Shield, and P-Down, D-Up badges, have Sushie boost Mario with Water Block,
have Merlee appear in battle to boost Mario's defence, and be hit by a fiery
attack.

Generally, to block an attack, press A just as the character takes damage
(he/she recoils and the damage number appears).  Some attacks require you to
press A just before the attack actually hits; see section 5a for more details.
Blocking an attack will always prevent a status ailment from being inflicted
on Mario.

If an attack hits Mario multiple times, you can block each individual hit.
Failing to block one hit does not prevent you from blocking future hits.
Apply the formula for each individual hit, although the only changes that will
occur between hits are steps 6 and 7 (HP dropping into danger or
failing/succeeding a block).

Many of the partner-hitting attacks (which are uncommon) also attack Mario.
Simply use the A button for both characters, pressing A as each one is hit.


For those of you that like formulas, use this one for Mario:

Damage = max(0, floor((floor((A + AB - C) / S) - DF) / L) - (B x (1 + D)))

Where:
- A  = power of enemy's attack
- AB = number of times a Magikoopa has boosted enemy's attack
- C  = 3 if the enemy is inflicted with Attack Drop, 0 otherwise
- S  = 2 if the enemy is shrunk, 1 otherwise
- DF = Mario's defence
- L  = 2 if Mario is in danger and Last Stand badge is equipped, 1 otherwise
- B  = 1 if Mario blocked the attack, 0 otherwise
- D  = number of Damage Dodge badges equipped
- floor(<number>) means to round <number> down to the nearest whole number


And use this formula for Mario's partners:

Damage = max(0, floor((A + AB - C) / S) x B)

Where:
- A  = power of enemy's attack
- AB = number of times a Magikoopa has boosted enemy's attack
- C  = 3 if the enemy is inflicted with Attack Drop, 0 otherwise
- S  = 2 if the enemy is shrunk, 1 otherwise
- B  = 0 if partner blocked the attack, 1 otherwise
- floor(<number>) means to round <number> down to the nearest whole number


 _____________________________________________________________________________
\                                                                             /
<  2b. Mario/Partner Attacks                                                  >
/_____________________________________________________________________________\

To calculate the amount of damage an enemy takes from Mario's attack, do the
following steps in order:

1) Start with the power of the attack (see section 4).
2) Add Mario's attack power (ranges from -2 to 12).
3) If Mario's jump or hammer is charged (whichever is applicable), add two
   times the number of ordinary charges, and three times the number of super
   charges.
4) If Mario is shrunk, divide by 2, rounding down.
5) If the attack does not ignore defence, subtract the enemy's defence.

For Mario's partners, item attacks, or the Star Storm star power, skip steps 2
to 4 (although Goombario will do step 3).  Note that Star Storm and all items
ignore defence, and thus also skip step 5.

Obviously, if the final result is zero or less, the enemy receives no damage
(although it is still susceptible to secondary effects of the attack).

Mario's attack is naturally zero.  To achieve an attack of -2, equip the HP
Drain and P-Down, D-Up badges.  To achieve an attack of 12, equip both Power
Plus's, All or Nothing, Mega Rush, and P-Up, D-Down badges, have Watt boost
Mario with Turbo Charge, have Merlee appear in battle to boost Mario's attack,
and be in Peril (at 1 HP).


For those of you that like formulas, use this one for Mario:

Damage = max(0, floor((A + P + (2 x C) + (3 x SC)) / S) - (D x I))

Where:
- A  = Mario's attack power
- P  = power of Mario's jump/hammer attack
- C  = number of times Mario has used Jump/Hammer Charge (whichever is
       applicable) since last jump/hammer attack
- SC = number of times Mario has used S. Jump/Hammer Charge (whichever is
       applicable) since last jump/hammer attack
- S  = 2 if Mario is shrunk, 1 otherwise
- D  = enemy's defence
- I  = 0 if the attack pierces/ignores defence, 1 otherwise
- floor(<number>) means to round <number> down to the nearest whole number


Use this formula for Goombario's Headbonk attack:

Damage = max(0, P + (2 x C) - D)

Where:
- P = power of Goombario's attack
      (initial rank: 1, super-ranked: 2, ultra-ranked: 3)
- C = number of times Goombario has used Charge since last attack
- D = enemy's defence


And use this formula for items, star powers, and Mario's other partners:

Damage = max(0, P - (D x I))

Where:
- P = power of partner's attack
- D = enemy's defence
- I = 0 if the attack pierces/ignores defence, 1 otherwise


 _____________________________________________________________________________
\                                                                             /
<  2c. Power Bounce                                                           >
/_____________________________________________________________________________\

Mario's Power Bounce jump attack is different from most other attacks that hit
multiple times.  Each hit does one less damage than the previous (assuming the
defence of the enemy remains constant).  However, the damage of future hits
cannot be lowered to below one (unless, of course, the first hit would not do
any damage at all).

Goombario's Multibonk works in the same way.

To find the amount of damage that a hit from Power Bounce or Multibonk does,
do the following steps in order:

1) Start with the amount of damage that the first attack would do (see
   previous section).
2) Subtract the number of times the attack has hit previously.
3) If the result in step 1) is greater than zero, than the power of this hit
   cannot be lower than one.


For those of you that like formulas, use this one for each hit of Mario's
Power Bounce attack:

Damage = max(0,
             min(1, floor((A + P + (2 x C) + (3 x SC)) / S) - D),
             floor((A + P + (2 x C) + (3 x SC)) / S) - D - N)

Where:
- A  = Mario's attack power
- P  = power of Mario's jump attack
       (Boots: 1, Super Boots: 2, Ultra Boots, 3)
- C  = number of times Mario has used Jump Charge since last jump attack
- SC = number of times Mario has used S. Jump Charge since last jump attack
- S  = 2 if Mario is shrunk, 1 otherwise
- D  = enemy's defence
- N  = number of times this attack has hit previously
- floor(<number>) means to round <number> down to the nearest whole number


And use this formula for Goombario's Headbonk attack:

Damage = max(0,
             min(1, 3 + (2 x C) - D),
             3 + (2 x C) - D - N)

Where:
- C = number of times Goombario has used Charge since last attack
- D = enemy's defence
- N  = number of times this attack has hit previously


 _____________________________________________________________________________
\                                                                             /
<  2d. Spin Hammer Bump Damage                                                >
/_____________________________________________________________________________\

If Mario hits an enemy with a successfully-timed Spin Hammer attack, it will
fly backwards, hitting all other Ground and Hover enemies (some types of
enemies cannot be pushed; these are noted in Section 5c).

While the damage that the "pushed" enemy (the one that was hit with the hammer)
is dependant on Mario's attack power and the formula from Section 2b, the
damage inflicted on the "bumped" enemies (the ones hit by the pushed enemy) is
considered to be an attack from the pushed enemy, not Mario.

Therefore, you actually use the formula from Section 2a to determine damage
done to bumped enemies.  Note that this bump attack pierces enemy defence.


Specifically, to calculate the amount of damage a bumped enemy takes from a
pushed enemy, do the following steps in order:

1) Start with an attack power of 1.
2) If the pushed enemy's attack power has been boosted by a Magikoopa, add 1
   for each boost (ranges from 1 to 3).
3) If the pushed enemy is inflicted with Attack Drop, subtract 3.
4) If the pushed enemy is shrunk, divide by two, rounding down.

Obviously, if the final result is zero or less, the bumped enemy does not do
any damage to the enemies behind it.


For those of you that like formulas, use this one:

Damage to bumped enemies = max(0, floor((1 + A - C) / S))

Where:
- A = number of times a Magikoopa has boosted enemy's attack
- C = 3 if the pushed enemy is inflicted with Attack Drop, 0 otherwise
- S = 2 if the pushed enemy is shrunk, 1 otherwise
- floor(<number>) means to round <number> down to the nearest whole number


 _____________________________________________________________________________
\                                                                             /
<  3. Status Effects                                                          >
/_____________________________________________________________________________\

Status effects are changes to the character, both for good and bad.  Often
they are temporary, and they usually place a symbol above the character's head
detailing what status change they have.  The purpose of this section is to
detail all of the status ailments and status boosts in the game.

 _____________________________________________________________________________
\                                                                             /
<  3a. Negative Status                                                        >
/_____________________________________________________________________________\

- For every status ailment (excluding Attack Drop and Command Loss), a number
  appears showing how many rounds before the ailment wears off.
- Inflicting a different status ailment will clear out an old one (again,
  excluding Attack Drop and Command Loss, which can exist concurrently with
  any other ailments).
- Re-inflicting a status ailment resets its round counter; it doesn't add to
  it.
- Following a method to inflict an ailment on Mario is the probability of it
  succeeding and the number of rounds it lasts if inflicted.
- The probability of Mario or a partner successfully inflicting a status
  ailment, as well as the number of rounds it lasts when it hits, is unique
  for each enemy.  See section 5c for details.
- Mario can always prevent being inflicted by a status ailment by blocking the
  attack that inflicts it.
- If the Feeling Fine badge is equipped, Mario cannot be inflicted with any
  status ailment, except for Command Loss.

+-------------+

Visual Change:  <none>
Symbol:         A downward-pointing arrow.

Description:

  battle icon will drop back down to Mario on his turn.
- Command Loss is prevented not only by blocking, but also if the attacker is
  shrunk, the attacker gets hurt from touching an electrified Mario, or the

/_____________________________________________________________________________\

- Unless specified, a positive status boost never fails to affect its target.
- Following a method to perform a boost is the length of its effect.
- Characters can be inflicted with multiple status boosts at one time.
- Re-inflicting a status boost resets its round counter; it doesn't add to it.
- The Star Beam star power will cause any positive boost on enemies to end
  prematurely.
- Bowser(2), Bowser(3), and Bowser(4)'s Shockwave Drain will cause any status
  boost Mario or Goombario has to end prematurely, provided it doesn't miss
  him (so it can't end invisibility).
- If the Feeling Fine badge is equipped, then boosts given by items will
  always wear off after only one round.


+--------------+
| Attack Boost |
+--------------+

Visual Change:  Character glows different colours (for enemies, it is
                indistinguishable from Charge and Defence Boost).
Symbol:         Mario:    A yellow circle in the top-left of the screen, 
                          including the number of rounds remaining.
                enemies:  <none>

Description:
- Attack Boost will increase a character's attack by 1 while it lasts.
- Enemies can have their attack boosted up to three times at once.

Ways to inflict on enemies:
- Magikoopa(2)'s Attack Boost  (doesn't wear off naturally)
- R Magikoopa's Attack Boost   (doesn't wear off naturally)

Ways to inflict on Mario:
- Watt's Turbo Charge (1 to 4 rounds)


+--------+
| Charge |
+--------+

Visual Change:  Mario:      <none>
                Goombario:  Glows different colours.
                enemies:    Glows different colours (indistinguishable from
                            Attack Boost and Defence Boost).
Symbol:         Mario:      If jump is charged, a little boot and exclamation
                            mark.  If hammer is charged, a little hammer and
                            exclamation mark.
                Goombario:  <none>
                enemies:    <none>

Description:
- The Charge status always lasts until the inflicted character performs a
  attack that makes use of its boost.
- If charged, an enemy will perform a special attack that it normally doesn't
  use.  Essentially, an enemy charging itself is just the first part of a
  two-round attack.
- Some enemies (such as Koopatrol) have other special effects while charged.
- Mario and Goombario can charge multiple times before attacking.
- Mario can only charge either his jump or hammer attacks, not both.  Charging
  one attack type will destroy any charge he has made with the other one.
- If Mario has charged his hammer, he can safely use jump attacks (except for
  jump charges) without losing the hammer charge (and vice-versa).

Ways to inflict on enemies:
- Hyper Cleft's Charge Up
- Hyper Goomba's Charge Up
- Hyper Paragoomba's Charge Up
- Koopatrol's Charge Up

- If Mario's partner receives damage, he/she must skip one turn for each HP
  damage done.
- Blocking an enemy's attack will completely prevent Mario's partner from
  being dazed.
- Mario's partner can also take damage by attacking an enemy in a way that
  hurts him/her (for example, Goombario jumping on a fiery enemy).
- Tutankoopa and Buzzar are the only enemies that can attack Mario's partner
  even if he/she is already dazed.  A dazed partner cannot block the attack,
  and it adds to his/her current stun-counter.  A partner cannot have his/her 
  stun-counter raise above nine.

- The following enemy attacks hit Mario's partner (power in brackets): 
Big Lanturn Ghost's Light Beam  (2)
Bowser(2)'s Shockwave Drain     (3)
Bowser(3)'s Shockwave Drain     (3)
Buzzar's Wind Blast             (3)

This section details all of the moves Mario and his partners can make in
battle.  Most of the labels and categories should be self-explanatory, but I
will explain a number of them here.



Rank:
- The rank that Mario's partner must be at to have access to the move.
- This is also used in damage charts.

Initial - The state of the partner when he/she first joins Mario.
Super   - After using one Super Block on a partner.
Ultra   - After using a second Super Block on a partner (can only be done once
          the Ultra Stone is obtained).



BP Cost:
- If this category is present, then in order to have access to the move, Mario
  must have the badge of the same name equipped.  The number here is the
  amount of BP needed to equip the badge.



FP Cost:
- This is the number of FP consumed when the move is executed.
- If this category is absent, then the move is free to use.



Type:
- This category will list all types applicable to this move.
- Most of the types simply describe the move's function or type of attack
  damage.  Following are some of the less-obvious types:

Damage        - If this type is absent, then the move does not do HP damage.
Multi-target  - The attack hits all reachable enemies.  If this category is
                absent, then the attack can only target one enemy.
Contact       - The attacker makes contact with the enemy.  Therefore, it will
                not work against Top-Spiky, Spiky, Fiery, or electrified
                enemies.
Top-Contact   - The attacker makes contact with the top of the enemy.
                Therefore, it will not work against Top-Spiky, Spiky, Fiery, or
                electrified enemies.  In addition, the attack cannot reach
                ceiling enemies.
Front-Contact - The attacker makes contact with the front of the enemy.
                Therefore, it will not work against Spiky, Fiery, or
                electrified enemies (but it will work against Top-Spiky
                enemies).
Ground        - The move can only target Ground and Hover enemies.  If the
                attack is not multi-target, then it can only target the
                front-most Ground/Hover enemy.
Quake         - The attack deals Quake damage.  In addition, it can only
                target Ground, Elevated, and Ceiling enemies.
Pierce        - The attack ignores the enemy's defence (treats it as zero).
No-SP         - Defeating enemies with attack will not earn Star Points
                (although coins and items can still be earned).



Description:
- A visual description of the attack, without the action command.



Action Command:
- What to do to increase the effectiveness of the move.
- If this category is absent, then there is no action command for the move.



Effect:
- A detailed description of what the move does.
- If it does variable damage to enemies, a chart will be present to show the
  attack power under different circumstances.

- The Ice type, if listed for a jump or hammer attack, exists only if the Ice
  Power badge is equipped.  Enemies immune to ice attacks will still take
  normal damage.
- If the Spike Shield badge is equipped or Mario is invisible, then Mario can
  safely jump on Top-Spiky or Spiky enemies.
- If Mario is invisible, or the Ice Power and/or Flame Shield badge is
  equipped, then Mario can safely jump on Fiery enemies.
- If Mario is electrified or invisible, then Mario can safely jump on
  electrified enemies.

Rank:     Ultra
FP Cost:  5
Type:     Multi-target, No SP

Description:
- Lakilester floats in front of the enemies, and starts blowing wind at them.

Action Command:
- While Lakilester is blowing wind, rapidly press A and B together (not
  alternatively) to fill up the meter as much as you can.
- The more resistant the enemies are to this attack, the harder it is to fill
  up the meter.

Effect:
- Lakilester attempts to blow all enemies away from battle.  This has the same
  effect as defeating them, but you won't earn Star Points (the enemies will
  still give coins/items).
- The more full the meter was, the higher the chance that each enemy will be
  blown away.  Filling it up to 100% will blow away all enemies not immune to
  this attack, guaranteed.
- If the meter refuses to fill, then all enemies are immune to this attack.

This section lists the ways Mario can use items in battle, as well as the
items he can use.  Since this guide is just concerned with battles, I will
only list the in-battle effect and the number of coins that the Refund badge
will give you.

Note that all item attacks ignore enemy defence, and that only Mario can use
items.

+-------+
| Items |
+-------+

FP:  0

Effect:
- Mario will use one of his battle items.
- If the Refund badge is equipped, then he will receive some coins for the
  item (about 75% of the standard selling price).


+------------+
| Double Dip |
+------------+

BP:  1
FP:  3

Effect:
- The same as "Items," but Mario will use two items in one turn.
- You can cancel the Double Dip with B, but you won't get back the FP if
  you've used one item already.
- Double Dip will end after using just one item if all enemies are defeated,
  you run out of items, or you use a Stone Cap.


+------------+
| Triple Dip |
+------------+

BP:  3
FP:  6

Effect:
- The same as "Items," but Mario will use three items in one turn.
- You can cancel the Triple Dip with B, but you won't get back the FP if
  you've used at least one item already.
- Triple Dip will end after using just one or two items if all enemies are
  defeated, you run out of items, or you use a Stone Cap.

- Only Mario can use star powers (except for Focus).
- This option appears after rescuing the first star spirit.
- Everytime Mario rescues one of the seven captured star spirits, his maximum
  number of Star Power Units (SPU) increases by 1 (up to a maximum of 7).
- Mario automatically recovers 0.125 SPU (or 1/8 of one SPU) at the beginning
  of each turn.
- The SPU category describes how many SPU Mario needs to perform the move.

SPU:       1
Type:      Sleep, Multi-target

Description:

Type:      Multi-target, Damage

Description:
- Mario summons Skolar, who sends shooting stars down on the enemies.

SPU:       2
Type:      Attack Drop, Multi-target

Description:
- Mario summons Muskular, who squishes all the enemies in a wild fog.

SPU:       2
Type:      Multi-target, No SP

Description:
- Mario summons Kalmar, who sends shockwaves at the enemies.

Effect:
- Kalmar attempts to turn all enemies into shooting stars.  This has the same
  effect as defeating them, but you won't earn Star Points (the enemies will
  still give coins/items).
- Enemies immune to Lakilester's Hurricane (see Section 5c) are also immune to
  this move.
- This move has near-perfect accuracy against anything not immune to it.  Since
  it has consistent accuracy against all enemy types, there is no category for
  Up and Away in Section 5c.

This section deals with the options available to Mario and his partners under
the "Strategies" menu (the flag icon on far left).

+---------------+
| Change Member |
+---------------+

Description:
- The current partner "returns" to Mario, and its replacement pops out.

Effect:
- You will switch Mario's active partner to any other one.

Description:
- Nothing happens.

Effect:
- The character will skip his/her turn.


+----------+
| Run Away |
+----------+

Description:
- Mario and his partner run on the spot, preparing to flee the battle.

Action Command:
- Rapidly press A to fill up the meter as much as you can.  The action command
  is successful if the randomly-placed marker stops over a filled-part of the
  meter.
- How empty the meter starts out depends on the average of all enemies'
  resistance to running away.  See Section 5a for more details.

Effect:
- Only Mario can perform this action.
- With a successful action command, Mario and his partner will run away from
  the battle.  Out of battle, Mario will automatically drop a random number of
  coins (which can be recollected).
- Upon an unsuccessful run, Mario's partner will skip his/her turn if he/she
  has not already acted.
- Unless the Runaway Pay badge is equipped, you will lose any accumulated Star
  Points upon a successful run.
- If you re-enter a battle after running away, all enemies will have fully
  recovered/revived.
- Some battles cannot be run from.

The meat of this guide, this section should provide you with all the
information about each individual enemy that you could ever want to know (in a
text format guide, anyways).  I would first recommend you check out sections
5a (to understand the guide) and 5b (to see where about in the guide you need
to scroll) before heading onto 5c.

Keep in mind that not all of the information is 100% accurate.  Anytime I
mention "Good"/"Fair"/"Poor", there is a chance that I am wrong, as I could
have simply had great/horrible luck while I was testing.  Three levels do not
provide the precision that I would like - for example, I know that Bullet
Bills are much more susceptible to Dizzy than other enemies with a "Good"
rating, and that the final form of The Master is much more resistant to Sleep
than other enemies with a "Poor" rating.  However, I do not have the time nor
patience to perform the some 10,000 tests needed to provide statistical
certainty, and I have yet to hack the ROM, so this will have to do for now.

In addition, the coin information may have a few errors.  With the later
enemies especially, it is sometimes hard to tell which are battle coins and
which are bonus coins.  Once again, luck plays into it, too.  There could very
well be items that I have not yet seen enemies drop, as well.

Barring a few AI quirks I have not figured out, the rest of the data should be
completely correct.  There are two columns which I might get around to adding
one day, although I probably will not.  One, a column describing how easy it
is to perform consecutive Power Bounces.  Compare final Bowser to a Goomba,
and you will see that there is a definite difficulty shift.  Secondly, I would
like a column describing how accurate an enemy is when Mario has some kind of
evasion.  I have noticed that Fuzzies almost never miss, but with the same
evasion, Huff N. Puff and his Tuff Puffs miss quite frequently.  Also, final
Bowser's Fire Breath seems to miss more often than his other attacks.

That said, I hope you get something new out of this large section.  I still
can not believe that the game designers bothered to give Monstar those
immunities (however logical).

+----------------+
| <enemy's name> |
+----------------+



Location:
- All locations where the enemy can be found.



Level:
- The enemy's level, which is used to determine the number of star points 
  earned by defeating it.
- If Mario's level meets or exceed's the enemy's, then Mario will earn no star
  points for defeating the enemy.
- To calculate the number of star points an enemy drops, subtract Mario's level
  from the enemy's, and then divide by two (rounding if necessary).
- If there were three enemies at the start of the battle, then all enemies will
  drop 10% more star points (multiply factor before rounding).  If there were
  four enemies at the start of the battle, all enemies will drop 30% more star
  points.  Only the number of enemies at the start of the battle matter -- the
  number present when the enemy is defeated is irrelevent.
- You can only earn a maximum of 100 star points in a single battle.
- For those of you that like formulas, use this one for a single enemy:

Star points = max(0,
                  round((E - M) * F / 2))

Where:
- E = enemy's level (ranges from 1 to 100)
- M = Mario's level (ranges from 1 to 27)
- F = 1.3 if four enemies at start of battle
      1.1 if three enemies at start of battle
      1 otherwise
- round(<number>) means to round <number> up or down to the nearest whole 
      number



HP:
- The amount of HP the enemy starts the battle with.



Attack:
- The general attack power of the enemy, mostly as given by Goombario's Tattle
  ability.  However, some enemies have numerous attacks, each having different
  attack powers, so look at the attack section for more details.



Defence:
- The enemy's defence, sometimes given multiple times under different
  circumstances.  This can change during battle.



Type:
- Note that enemies can have more than one type, and that it can change during
  battle.
- Following is a list of possible enemy types:

Ground     - Can be hit by any attack.
Hover      - Can't be hit by Quake Hammer attacks.  A POW Block will still 
             work, though.
Elevated   - Can't be hit by ground attacks.
Flying     - Can't be hit by ground or Quake Hammer attacks.  A POW Block will 
             still work, though.
Ceiling    - Can't be hit by ground or jump attacks.
Top-Spiky  - Contact with the top cancels attack and deals 1 HP damage.  Mario 
             can safely jump on these enemies if the Spike Shield badge is
             equipped.
Spiky      - Contact cancels attack and deals 1 HP damage.  Mario can safely
             jump on these enemies if the Spike Shield badge is equipped.
Fiery      - Contact cancels attack and deals 1 HP damage.  Mario can safely
             jump on these enemies if either the Ice Power badge or Fire Shield
             badge is equipped.



Sleep, Dizzy, Shock, Shrink, Stop, Fear, Air-Lift, Hurricane:
- The phrase indicates for each of these categories indicates the likelihood
  of the attack type succeeding on that enemy.  "Fair" is about 50%, "Good" is
  substantially more than 50%, and "Poor" is substantially less than 50%.  For
  attacks where you build up the accuracy with an action command, the phrase
  indicates how easy it is to get to 100%.  "Immune" means that the attack
  will never work.
- Any HP damage the attack may also do is independent of what appears in these
  categories (i.e. Mario's Shrink Stomp will always do normal damage,
  regardless of how accurate Shrink is on the enemy).
- For Sleep, Dizzy, Shock, Shrink, and Stop, the number in the column shows
  how many rounds the ailment lasts when successfully inflicted.
- First-striking with the Dizzy Attack badge has no effect on opponents immune
  to Dizzy, and makes all others dizzy for one round with 100% accuracy
- For Shrink, the number of rounds of reduced attack you get is actually one
  less than the number shown in the game.  For example, a three appears when
  you shrink a Goomba, but you only get two rounds of reduced attack.  Note 
  that the shown number is what appears in this guide (three for this example).
- For Stop, the number shown is for using a Stop Watch item.  When using the
  Time Out star power, the opponents are disabled for one round more.  For
  example, a Stop Watch will disable a Goomba for four rounds (which is what
  appears in this guide), but Time Out will disable it for five rounds.
- Fear is always ineffective against opponents who are inflicted with Sleep,
  Dizzy, Shock, or Stop.
- If the enemy is inflicted with Sleep, Dizzy, Shock, Shrink, or Stop, then it
  is easier to build up Air Lift and Hurricane to 100% accuracy.
- The Up and Away star power always works with a "Good" accuracy against all
  enemies that are vulnerable to Hurricane (no matter how little).  Enemies
  that are immune to Hurricane are also immune to Up and Away.
- If any of these eight categories are absent, then it is impossible (without
  a cheating device, anyway) to use those types of attacks against the enemy.



Battle Coins, Bonus Coins:
- "Battle Coins" is how many coins you get for defeating each of that enemy in
  battle.  You will still get these coins if the enemy runs away, or is
  defeated with an attack that doesn't leave Star Points (such as Hurricane).
- "Bonus Coins" is the number of bonus coins (usually a range) that that type
  of enemy can give.  You only get bonus coins from the front enemy (the one
  that appears out of battle).
- If you use the First/Spin/Bump Attack badges to avoid a battle, you will
  only get the bonus coins.
- For battles where none of the enemies give coins (even with bonus), you can
  still get coins using the Pay-Off badge.
- For example, beating a Pokey and Bandit, where the Pokey appears out of
  battle, will earn you 2 + (0 to 1), or 2 to 3 coins (0 to 1 coins if
  First/Spin/Bump Attack, was used).  But beating a Pokey and Bandit, where
  the Bandit appears out of battle, will earn you 2 + (1 to 3), or 3 to 5
  coins (1 to 3 coins if First/Spin/Bump Attack was used).
- For most special battles, you won't get coins or items, even with the
  Pay-Off badge.  Both these categories will be absent for enemies that only
  appear in such battles.
- Enemies that never appear out of battle, but do appear in coin-giving
  battles, will have an entry for "Battle Coins," but not for "Bonus Coins."



Items:
- Any items that the enemy may drop after battle.  This is an uncommon
  occurrence.
- Only the front enemy (the one that appears out of battle) can give you an
  item.
- You can still get an item if you use the First/Spin/Bump Attack badges to
  avoid a battle.
- If the enemy only appears in special battles that cannot yield coins or
  items, or it is never present outside of battle, then this category will be a
  absent.  If the enemy doesn't give items, but still appears in battles that
  can yield coins, then <none> will be listed.



Running:
- The number of button presses required to get a guaranteed run from the enemy.
- If an enemy is inflicted with Sleep, Dizzy, Shock, or Stop, it needs no
  button presses for a guaranteed run.
- When facing multiple enemies, the number of button presses required is the
  average of all the opponents' individual button presses, rounded to the
  nearest whole number (take into account status ailments).
- If the Dodge Master badge is equipped, the number of required button presses
  is reduced by about 25%.
- A completely empty run-meter takes about 60 button presses to fill.
- If this category is absent, then the enemy never appears in battles that you
  can run from.



Attacks:
- A list of all of the enemy's moves.  If this category is absent, then the
  enemy has no in-battle moves.
- All of the attacks' names are completely made up and unofficial.
- Where applicable, I have been specific about where the attack hits Mario in
  order to aide with blocking.  If I mention left or right, I mean from the
  player's point of view, not Mario's.  The description assumes that Mario is
  in his normal position; that is, neither Mario nor the attacker is shrunk,
  and that Mario is not poisoned or in danger (HP is 5 or below).
- A lone number refers to the attack power of the move.  If the move hits both
  Mario and his partner, the power for each hit will be given.  Also, if the
  move hits Mario multiple times with varying power, then the power of each
  hit will be given.  If no lone number is present, then the attack does not
  do HP damage.
- If an attack hits Mario multiple times, then a phrase of the form "<number>
  times" will be listed.
- If an attack inflicts a status ailment on Mario, then it will be listed.
  For all ailments (except for Command Loss), there will be a phrase that
  indicates the likelihood of if being inflicted.  "Fair" is about 50%, "Good"
  is substantially more than 50%, and "Poor" is substantially less than 50%.
  There will also be a number indicating the number of rounds it lasts if it
  is successfully inflicted.
- Following is a list of keywords that may be found in the attack:

fiery:         - The attack is fire-based.  Water Block and the Fire Shield
                 badge will provide extra defence for these attacks.
zap:           - If Mario is electrified, the enemy takes 1 HP electrical
                 damage when performing this attack.
once-zap:      - For multi-hit attacks only.  This is the same as zap, but only
                 the first hit of the enemy's attack hits Mario.  All other
                 hits are not executed.
immune-zap:    - If Mario is electrified, the enemy takes 1 HP electrical
                 damage, and the enemy's attack has absolutely no effect on
                 Mario.
first-strike:  - The enemy can use this attack out of battle to hit Mario with
                 a first strike.
lag-block:     - Most of the time, you must press A just as Mario or his
                 partner takes damage to block an attack.  However, for
                 attacks with this keyword, you must press A slightly before
                 Mario actually takes damage to block the attack.  Following
                 this keyword will be a short description of when to press A,
                 although this is usually just "before the projectile hits
                 Mario."
rapid-block:   - The attack cannot be blocked, but the attack can be ended
                 prematurely by pressing "A" a certain number of times (which
                 is mentioned right after the keyword).
power-block:   - The attack cannot be blocked, but by rapidly pressing A, the
                 power of the attack can be reduced by as much as the number
                 that follows the keyword.




AI:
- A list of conditions that determine what the enemy will decide to do on its
  turn.
- If a cycle is given, start at 1) (unless otherwise directed), and move onto
  the next number for the next round.  If told to loop, the actual looping
  itself does not count as a turn.
- If this category is absent, then the enemy simply does a randomly-picked
  attack each round.



Notes:
- If necessary, any other specific comments about the enemy.
- I do not mention cases where Mario's Spin Hammer attack will not push an
  enemy backwards if the enemy only ever appears on its own.
- It may be mentioned that certain types of attacks will have an abnormal
  effect on the enemy.  Following is a list of all the attack types used
  (ignoring cases where a single, specific attack is mentioned):

electric      - Watt's Electro Dash, Thunder Bolt and Thunder Rage items
fire          - Kooper's Fire Shell, Fire Flower item
quake hammer  - Mario's Quake Hammer, Power Quake, and Mega Quake
quake         - POW Block item, a quake hammer
jump          - any of Mario's jump attacks, Goombario's Headbonk and 
                Multibonk, Sushie's Belly Flop
water         - Sushie's Squirt and Tidal Wave
ice           - any of Mario's jump or hammer attacks (except for Hammer Throw 
                or a quake hammer) when the Ice Power badge is equipped (still 
                hurts enemies that are immune to ice), Snowman Doll item
explosion     - Egg Missile item, Bombette's Bomb and Power Bomb and Mega Bomb

Notes:
- You can hit either its lantern or its head.
- Hitting the lantern has no effect on Big Lantern Ghost, but each hit raises
  its brightness level by one.  The lantern starts the battle with a
  brightness level of zero, and can go up to four.
- You cannot target the lantern with Tattle, Air Lift, items, or attacks that
  can target multiple enemies.
- You cannot target the head if the lantern's brightness level is zero or one.
  Also, since the lantern is in front of the head, you cannot hit the head
  with single-target ground attacks.

| B Ninjakoopa |
+--------------+

Location:      Koopa Bros. Fortress
Level:         17

- Struggle: flails limbs (no effect)

AI:
- Use Struggle if just flipped over, followed by Stand Up the next round.
- If standing upright, uses Join Tower if Koopa Bros. exists (will create a
  new tower if there are any Ninjakoopas able to join it the same round),
  otherwise uses Shell Toss.

Notes:
- A jump or quake attack will flip over B Ninjakoopa.
- If you successfully inflict B Ninjakoopa with Sleep or Dizzy, he will only 
  skip one of his turns, even though a two is displayed.
- When calculating star points, the game considers there to have been four
  enemies at the start of battle.

  defeats Bob-omb)

AI:
- If enraged, uses Self Destruct.  Otherwise, uses Hop Attack.

Notes:
- Becomes enraged after receiving damage from an attack.
- While enraged, any damage-dealing attack will automatically defeat it. 
  However, if the attacker makes direct contact, he/she will take 1 HP
  damage.
- While enraged, Dizzy Shell will always defeat the Bob-omb, and Spin Hammer
  will not push it backwards.
- Fire, explosion, and electric damage will automatically defeat the Bob-omb.-
  Successfully inflicting Shock will automatically defeat a normal Bob-omb,
  but not an enraged one.
- If an electrified Mario is hit with Hop Attack, Mario will not take damage,
  and the Bob-omb will immediately use Self Destruct.
- Water attacks will make a normal Bob-omb enraged, but they will also make an
  enraged Bob-omb normal.
- Water Block provides +2 defence against the Self Destruct attack.

  beforehand with Bony Beetles found out of battle).
- A jump or quake attack will flip over the Bony Beetle.
- If not flipped over or inflicted with Sleep/Dizzy/Shock/Stop, a

HP:            10
Attack:        1
Defence:       0
Type:          Ground

Attacks:
- Claw Swipe: swipes his claw at Mario (1)
- Power Up: powers up with star rod, boosting defence to 1
- Boosted Claw Swipe: swipes his claw at Mario (3)
- Boosted Flame Breath: Breathes fire at Mario (10)

AI:
1) Claw Swipe
2) Claw Swipe
3) Power Up, followed by Boosted Claw Swipe
4) Boosted Claw Swipe
5) Boosted Flame Breath
6) skips turn for rest of battle 

Notes:
- This Bowser is from the very first battle in the game.
- This battle is more of a cutscene, as you have no battle choices to make, no
  action commands to perform, and there is no luck involved.  You cannot win.
- For the curious, if you use a cheating device and beat Bowser, the game
  crashes.

| Bowser(2) |
+-----------+

Location:      Peach's Castle
Level:         100
HP:            50
Attack:        6/8
Defence:       1 (normal)
               4 (boosted)
Type:          Ground
Sleep:         Poor, 2
Dizzy:         Poor, 2
Shock:         Poor, 2
Shrink:        Fair, 2
Stop:          Poor, 2
Fear:          Immune
Air-Lift:      Immune
Hurricane:     Immune

Attacks:
- Claw Swipe: stands in front of Mario for a moment, and then slashes him in
  the face (6/12, Poison [Good, 3], zap when not boosted)
- Heavy Jump: jumps on Mario's hat (6, Command Loss, zap when not boosted)
- Flame Breath: breathes a stream of fire at Mario, hitting him just as the
  stream reaches his back (8/16, fiery)
- Shockwave Drain: using Star Rod, releases shockwave that hits Mario, then
  his partner (Mario: 4, Partner: 3, lag-block: block when wave is more than
  one wave-length away)
- Power Up: uses Star Rod to increase defence to 4 and boost attack power
  (Bowser glows while boosted)
- Recover: recovers 20 HP

AI:
- Recover can be used only once.
- Power Up is used on Bowser(2)'s second turn.  Every time Mario negates it
  with Star Beam, he will use Power Up two to four turns after that point.
- Bowser(2) tends to use Flame Breath more than Claw Swipe, Heavy Jump, or
  Shockwave Drain.  He waits for any side effects of the latter three attacks
  to wear off before using them again.

Notes:
- This is the Bowser encountered in your second battle with him.
- For attacks with two power numbers, use the first number when Bowser is
  unboosted and the second number when he is boosted.
- While Bowser(2) is boosted, attacks that normally ignore defence will still
  be reduced by 4 (even Star Storm or items).
- Power Up will end the effects of Attack Drop (but not Shrink) prematurely.
  While boosted, Bowser(2) is immune to all status ailments.
- The effects of Power Up can be ended by using Star Beam.
- Shockwave Drain will also remove any positive status boosts: hammer/jump
  charging, stone, electric (except from Zap Tap badge), Water Block, Turbo
  Charge, and Cloud Nine.  It will also remove any charging Goombario may have
  done.  Blocking does not prevent this, but avoiding the attack (through
  invisibility or evasion) will.

Shrink:        Immune
Stop:          Immune
Fear:          Immune
Air-Lift:      Immune
Hurricane:     Immune 

Attacks:
- Claw Swipe: stands in front of Mario for a moment, and then slashes his hat
  (8/16, Poison [Good, 3], zap when not boosted)
- Heavy Jump: jumps on Mario's hat (8/16, Command Loss, zap when not boosted)
- Flame Breath: breathes a stream of fire at Mario, hitting him just as the
  stream reaches his back (10/20, fiery)
- Shockwave Drain: using Star Rod, releases shockwave that hits Mario, then
  his partner (Mario: 6, Partner: 3, lag-block: block when wave is more than
  one wave-length away)
- Lightning Blast: draws power into the Star Rod, releases glow, and then
  instantly hits Mario as multiple lightning bolts strike (10/20)
- Power Up: uses Star Rod to become invincible and boost attack power (Bowser
  glows while boosted)
- Recover: recovers 30 HP

AI:
- Recover can be used up to three times before the interlude with Twink and
  Kammy, as well as up to three times after the interlude.
- Before the Twink/Kammy interlude, Bowser(3) will use Claw Swipe, Heavy Jump,
  or Flame Breath on his first turn, followed by Power Up on his second turn.
- Every time Mario negates the effects of Power Up with Peach Beam, he will
  use Power Up three or four turns after that point.
- Bowser(3) tends to use Flame Breath more than Lightning Blast, Claw Swipe,
  Heavy Jump, or Shockwave Drain.  He waits for any side effects of the latter
  three attacks to wear off before using them again.

Notes:
- This is the Bowser from the final fight in the game.
- For attacks with two power numbers, use the first number when Bowser is
  unboosted and the second number when he is boosted.
- While Bowser(3) is boosted, no attacks have any effect.
- Power Up will end Attack Drop prematurely.
- The effects of Power Up can be ended by using Peach Beam.
- Shockwave Drain will also remove any positive status boosts: hammer/jump
  charging, stone, electric (except from Zap Tap badge), Water Block, Turbo
  Charge, and Cloud Nine.  It will also remove any charging Goombario may have
  done.  Blocking does not prevent this, but avoiding the attack (through
  invisibility or evasion) will.
- During the first phase of the fight, use the Star Beam star power any time
  after Bowser(3) uses Power Up to cut away from battle and begin the
  Twink/Kammy interlude.
- Even though Mario becomes fully healed after the Twink/Kammy interlude,
  Bowser(3)'s HP remains unchanged.  However, Bowser(3) cannot be defeated
  before the Twink/Kammy interlude.  If his HP is reduced to zero within those
  first two rounds, he will keep fighting at 0 HP.  After the interlude, he
  will start with 1 HP.

Notes:
- If there are no enemies in front of them, and they were summoned from Bill
  Blasters in battle, then you can target any Bullet Bill with ground attacks.
- Explosion damage will automatically defeat the Bullet Bill.
- If Sacrifice Slam misses Mario, then Bullet Bill will leave the battle, and
  you will get no Star Points.

Stop:          Good, 3
Fear:          Immune
Air-Lift:      Immune
Hurricane:     Immune

Attacks:
- Claw Swoop: flies in low and swoops at Mario's face (3, zap)
- Feather Fling: tosses feathers at Mario's face (2)
- Grapple Drop: picks Mario up into the air and drops him, hitting him just as
  he hits the ground (4, rapid-block: <see notes>)
- High Swoop: flies in high and swoops at Mario's hat (4, zap)
- Wind Blast: sends wind at Mario and his partner (Mario: 3, Partner: 3,
  power-block: 2)

AI:
1) Wind Blast
2) Grapple Drop
3) Claw Swoop
4) Grapple Drop
5) Feather Fling
6) Grapple Drop
7) loop to 1)

For all of the turns:
- If Mario is electrified, High Swoop is used instead of Grapple Drop.
- If Buzzar is shrunk, loop to 3).  If not, but she took damage from touching
  an electrified Mario the previous round, loop to 1).

Notes:
- You can avoid fighting her by answering "Luigi" to her question.  You must
  do this every time you pass the bridge, however.
- You can avoid Grapple Drop in a fashion similar to running from a battle.
  The dodge-meter starts empty, and takes about 30 button presses to fill
  completely.  If you fail to avoid the attack, you can still block it like
  normal by pressing A as Mario hits the ground.
- High Swoop is actually Grapple Drop used against an electrified Mario.
  However, the blocking is different:  you can't dodge it, and you block as
  Buzzar touches Mario's hat.

| Crystal King |
+--------------+

Location:      Crystal Palace
Level:         85
HP:            70
Attack:        6
Defence:       2
Type:          Ground or Flying

Shrink:        Immune
Stop:          Fair, 2
Fear:          Immune
Air-Lift:      Immune
Hurricane:     Immune

Attacks:
- Bit Spit: spits all present Crystal Bits at Mario one at a time (4, one to
  three times, lag-block: block before each bit hits Mario)
- Ice Bolt: spits blue lightning at Mario, hitting him a split second after
  the bolt touches him (6, Freeze [Good, 2])
- Icy Breath: together with both of his illusions, blows blue wind at Mario,
  hitting him just as the wind fully disappears (8)
- Summon Bits: summons three Crystal Bits
- Make Illusions: creates two duplicate illusions
- Make Parallusions: changes type to Flying, and then creates two duplicate
  illusions
- Recover: recovers 20 HP

AI:
Phase 1:
- If any Crystal Bits are present, uses Bit Spit.
- If there are no Crystal Bits, and Summon Bits was not used the previous
  round, uses Summon Bits.  Otherwise, uses Ice Bolt.
- The first time Crystal King would use Summon Bits, but his HP is 35 or
  below, he uses Ice Bolt instead.
- The second time this occurs, he starts Phase 2 if his HP is from 21 to 35,
  or he starts Phase 3 if his HP is 20 or below.

Phase 2:
- If illusions are present, uses Icy Breath.
- If Crystal King is alone, and Make Illusions was not used the previous
  round, uses Make Illusions.  Otherwise, uses Ice Bolt.
- If Crystal King would use Make Illusions, but his HP is 20 or below, he
  starts Phase 3.

Phase 3:
- If illusions are present, uses Icy Breath.
- If Crystal King is alone, and Make Parallusions was not used the previous
  round, uses Make Parallusions.  Otherwise, uses Ice Bolt.

- Crystal King may randomly decide to use Recover if his HP is 38 or below
  (even if Crystal Bits or illusions are present).  The lower his HP, the
  higher the probability that he will use Recover.  He can only use it a total
  of two times, however.
- Crystal King will not backtrack to an earlier phase, even if Recover makes
  his HP high enough.

Notes:
- Starts the battle with three Crystal Bits.
- Immune to ice attacks.
- Takes +2 damage from Kooper's Fire Shell (but not Fire Flower item).
- When Make Illusions or Make Parallusions is used, it is random which is the
  real Crystal King and which are fakes.  Any damage or successful status
  ailment inflicted on Crystal King will destroy his clones, as well as return
  Crystal King to Ground type if he is flying.
- When calculating star points, the game considers there to have been four
  enemies at the start of battle.

  Toss or Dizzy Tornado.

Notes:

- If the Dark Koopa is smiling and running on the spot, it will use Dizzy
  Tornado next.  If it is not smiling, it will use Shell Toss.

Battle Coins:  0
Bonus Coins:   0 to 5
Items:         Super Shroom
Running:       36

Attacks:
- Bone Throw: throws a bone at Mario's chin (4, first-strike)
- Shake: vibrates a bit (no effect)
- Reassemble: comes back together and stands up (recovers all HP, is no longer
  collapsed)

AI:
- Uses Shake if just collapsed, followed by Reassemble the next round.  If not
  collapsed, uses Bone Throw.

Notes:
- Reducing a Dry Bones' HP to zero will not defeat it, but simply cause it to
  collapse and lose any status change (good or bad).
- If collapsed Dry Bones are the only enemies that remain, the battle will
  end.  However, no Star Points will be earned from the collapsed Dry Bones.
- The only way to defeat a Dry Bones is to inflict fire or explosion damage,
  which will automatically defeat it (even if it is collapsed).  The only
  other attacks that will affect a collapsed Dry Bones are Air Lift,
  Hurricane, and Up and Away.
- Out of battle, you can deflect its Bone Throw first-strike with a jump,
  hammer, spindash, Kooper, or Bombette attack.
- Even with Mario at level 27 (the maximum), you cannot use the
  First/Spin/Bump Attack badges to automatically defeat Dry Bones.

- Ink Blast: shoots a stream of ink at Mario, hitting him a half-second later
  (4)
- Electric Drop: drops on the bottom line of Mario's hat (6, loses electric
  charge)
- Electric Charge: makes self electrified

AI:
1) If shrunk, uses Spin Drop and repeats this step the next round.  Otherwise,
   randomly chooses between Spin Drop and Ink Blast.
2) Electric Charge
3) If electrically charged, uses Electric Drop and repeats this step the next
   round.  Otherwise, loop to 1). 

Notes:
- There are three locations in the Toad Town Sewers where Mario can fight a
  Blooper boss.  When Mario comes to a second spot (after already fighting
  Blooper at another spot), he will face this boss.
- Electric Drop will not make Electro Blooper lose its electric charge if the
  attack misses Mario or Mario is electrified.
- If Electro Blooper is inflicted with a status ailment or takes damage (even
  if the attacker also takes damage), it will lose its electric charge.

- Fireball Barrage: shoots four miniature Embers at Mario's partner, the
  second one hitting him/her (3)

AI:
- Tends to use Fire Bop most of the time.  Fireball Barrage is not used if
  Mario's partner is dazed.

Notes:
- Immune to fire damage.
- Ice and water attacks do +2 damage.
- Dealing damage to an Ember with an attack that cannot target multiple
  enemies will spawn a new Ember.  The new Ember will have the same HP as the
  parent Ember did after the attack, and it will not have any of the parent
  Ember's status changes.
- An Ember can only be spawned if there are fewer than four enemies present.
- Once an Ember has spawned a new Ember, it will never spawn another one
  (exception: Bow's Fan Smack will spawn a new Ember with each hit).

  from an initially present Ember) usually cannot spawn any new Embers.

AI:
- Tends to use Jaw Clamp more often than Icy Breath.

Notes:
- Immune to ice attacks.
- Takes +2 damage from fire attacks and Egg Missile item.
- When calculating star points, the game considers there to have been four
  enemies at the start of battle if any Gulpits were present.

Location:      Toad Town Harbor
Level:         43

Attacks:
- Headbonk: jumps on the rim of Mario's hat (3, zap)
- Headbutt: flings itself at the front of Mario's hat (3, Command Loss, zap)
- Recover: recovers 4 HP

AI:
- Doesn't use Recover if on the ceiling or HP is above 7.

Notes:
- If Watt is not Mario's active partner, then it will be too dark to target
  Fuzzipede.
- Every time Headbonk or Headbutt is used, Fuzzipede will change its type.  It
  has the following cycle: Elevated, Ceiling, Ceiling, Ground, Ceiling,
  <restart cycle>.
- If Fuzzipede is on the ceiling and inflicted with Sleep, Dizzy, Shock, or
  Stop, then dealing damage will change him to Ground type.  If, before he
  next uses Headbonk or Headbutt, Mario hits him with a timed Spin Hammer, he
  will change to Elevated type, although a graphical glitch makes it look like
  he upright on the ceiling.  Once he uses Headbonk or Headbutt, he returns to
  normal.

  defeated)
- Magic Blast: shoots a magical spell at the rim of Mario's hat (3)
- Wand Strike: thrusts its wand in Mario's stomach, hitting Mario a split
  second later (3)

AI:
- Defence Boost is never cast on any type of Magikoopa, or the caster itself.
- If there are any boostable enemies not with a full defence increase (+3),
  casts Defence Boost (cycles through all enemies in order from the front).
  Otherwise, uses Magic Blast if flying, and Wand Strike if standing the
  ground.
- Tends to run away if alone.

Notes:
- Can be flying on a broomstick or standing on the ground.
- A POW Block or any timed jump attack (excluding Sushie's Belly Flop) will

- Use Struggle if just flipped over, followed by Stand Up the next round.

  new tower if there are any Ninjakoopas able to join it the same round),
  otherwise uses Shell Toss.

Notes:
- A jump or quake attack will flip over G Ninjakoopa.
- If you successfully inflict G Ninjakoopa with Sleep or Dizzy, he will only 
  skip one of his turns, even though a two is displayed.

AI:
- Ground Stomp can be used only once.

Notes:

  will drop on Goomba King, then Red Goomba(2), then Blue Goomba(2), doing 3
  damage to each.  Any future hits to the tree do nothing.

AI:
- Invisible Boost is never cast on any type of Magikoopa, or the caster itself.
- If there are any boostable enemies not invisible, casts Invisible Boost
  (cycles through all enemies in order from the front).  Otherwise, uses Magic
  Blast if flying, and Wand Strike if standing the ground.
- Tends to run away if alone.

Notes:
- Can be flying on a broomstick or standing on the ground.

Attacks:
- Large Rock Spit: spits a large rock at Mario's forehead (7, eliminates a

  rock, lag-block: block just before it hits Mario)
- Face Lick: licks Mario's face (2, zap, first-strike, lag-block: block while

AI:
- If shrunk or out of rocks, uses Face Lick.  Otherwise, picks a random rock
  to spit at Mario.

Notes:
- Any battle with at least one Gulpit will start with three large rocks and
  two small rocks.
- Mario can destroy a single rock with any jump attack (except for
  Multibounce) or any non-quake hammer attack (except for Hammer Throw).  Spin
  Hammer will only destroy the rock with an unsuccessful action command.
- The following partner attacks can be used to destroy a single rock:
  Headbonk, Multibonk, Shell Toss, Body Slam, Bomb, Sky Dive, Shell Shot,
  Belly Flop.
- When calculating star points, the game considers there to have been four
  enemies at the start of battle if any Gulpits were present.

| Huff N. Puff |

Location:      Cloudy Climb
Level:         80
HP:            60
Attack:        5
Defence:       0
Type:          Flying
Sleep:         Immune
Dizzy:         Immune

Shrink:        Immune
Stop:          Immune
Fear:          Immune
Air-Lift:      Immune
Hurricane:     Immune

Attacks:
- Body Slam: drops on Mario's legs (5)
- Wind Breath: blows yellow wind at Mario (7, power-block: 5)
- Ground Slam: flies into the air and slams the ground with all of his Tuff
  Puffs (<see notes for attack power>, lag-block: block before he hits the
  ground)
- Electric Charge: makes self electrified
- Ground Lightning: shoots the ground with lightning, hitting Mario as the
  lightning shockwaves clear from under Huff N. Puff (12, loses electric
  charge)
- Direct Lightning: flies over Mario for one and a half seconds, and shoots
  him with lightning, hitting him the instant the lightning is released (10,
  loses electric charge)
- Puff Inhale: eats all present Tuff Puffs (recovers 1 HP for each small one,
  2 HP for each big one)

AI:
1) Puff Inhale
2) Wind Breath
3) Puff Inhale
4) Electric Charge
5) Ground Lightning
6) Puff Inhale
7) Wind Breath
8) Electric Charge
9) Direct Lightning
10) Puff Inhale
11) Electric Charge
12) Ground Lightning
13) loop back to 1)
- If there are no Tuff Puffs present, then Body Slam is used instead of Puff
  Inhale.  Huff N. Puff may use Body Slam even if there are Tuff Puffs
  present; the fewer the number of Tuff Puffs, and the lower Huff N. Puff's
  HP, the higher the chances of him not using Puff Inhale.
- If Huff N. Puff's HP is 5 or below and he is not electrified, he will start
  using Ground Slam every turn for the rest of the battle.

Notes:
- Immune to electric damage.
- Water Block doesn't provide any protection against Ground Lightning or
  Direct Lightning.
- Any damage done to Huff N. Puff will spawn a number of Tuff Puffs
  representing the damage done to him: small ones represent 1 HP and large
  ones represent 2 HP.  However, he can only spawn up to four Tuff Puffs with
  each hit, and if the action command for the attack failed (no "NICE"
  appears), then only small Tuff Puffs can be spawned (item attacks and Star
  Storm are considered to have the action command failed).  Also, there can
  only be a maximum of ten Tuff Puffs present; any others will fall through
  the floor (same effect as defeating them).
- When attacking with Star Storm, Shooting Star, Multibounce, and Spiny Surge,
  the Tuff Puffs generated from hitting Huff N. Puff are always present after
  the attack.  For all other multi-target attacks, the Tuff Puffs generated
  from hitting Huff N. Puff only remain if there is room before the existing
  Tuff Puffs are defeated (although Snowman Doll, Air Raid, and Tidal Wave
  tend to always leave 2 HP worth of Tuff Puffs in place of the front-most
  existing Tuff Puffs).
- If Huff N. Puff is inflicted with Attack Drop, then any Tuff Puffs he spawns
  will also have Attack Drop (with the same number of turns remaining).
- The attack power of Ground Slam is equal to 5 plus the number of Tuff Puffs
  present; therefore, it ranges from 5 to 15 (the size of the Tuff Puffs
  does not matter).  Even though the Tuff Puffs take part in the attack, they
  still do their swarm attack beforehand.

- This battle is more of a cutscene, as you have no battle choices to make, no

| Kent C. Koopa |
+---------------+

Location:      Pleasant Path
Level:         55
HP:            70
Attack:        10
Defence:       6 (standing)
               3 (flipped over, shell) 
               0 (flipped over, tail)
Type:          Ground
Sleep:         Good, 4
Dizzy:         Fair, 2
Shock:         Poor, 2
Shrink:        Poor, 2
Stop:          Fair, 2
Fear:          Immune
Air-Lift:      Immune
Hurricane:     Immune

Attacks:
- Heavy Stomp: jumps on the top of Mario's hat (10)
- Shell Toss: spins his shell into Mario and then his partner, hitting him/her
  just as he touches them (Mario: 3, Partner: 3)

AI:
- Shell Toss isn't used if Mario's partner is dazed.
- If Kent C. Koopa is flipped over, he will stand up before attacking (this
  doesn't use up his turn).

Notes:
- A jump attack will flip over Kent C. Koopa, but the attack must him at least
  twice (so Belly Flop, Power Jump, etc. won't work).  A POW Block (but not a
  quake hammer attack) also works.
- While flipped over, you can hit either his shell (which has a defence of 3)
  or his tail (which has a defence of 0 - the better choice).
- If you use Power Bounce against a standing Kent C. Koopa, he flips over
  after the second hit, and future bounces hit his shell.
- You cannot target his shell with items, attacks that hit multiple enemies,
  or ground attacks.
- If you attack a flipped-over Kent C. Koopa with a timed Spin Hammer, you
  will steal 1 coin for every HP damage done (up to 6 coins maximum).  Kent C.
  Koopa only has 20 coins to take.
- Shell Toss will not hit Mario's partner if it doesn't miss Mario and one of
  the following is satisfied: Mario blocks the attack, Mario is Stony, or Kent
  C. Koopa is shrunk.

               Good, 0 (unstable)
Fear:          Immune (stable)
               Good   (unstable)

Attacks:
- Ninjakoopa Special: rushes past Mario in their shells (<see below for attack
  power>, lag-block: block before it hits Mario)

Notes:
- Attack power of Ninjakoopa Special is equal to the number of Ninjakoopas in
  the stack (2 to 4).
- The Ninjakoopas themselves cannot be damaged while in the stack.
- Before attacking, Koopa Bros. will wait until all Ninjakoopas not in the
  stack take their turn.
- Any damage-dealing attack will make the stack unstable.  This unstable
  status is cleared when Koopa Bros. attack.
- While unstable, any attack (including Sleepy Sheep or Fright Jar items) is
  guaranteed to knock over the stack.
- A Thunderbolt item or a damage-dealing Bomb attack will knock over the stack
  without having to make it unstable first.
- When knocked over, all Ninjakoopas will that were in the stack will become
  separated and flipped over.

- Koopatrols tend to all use Charge Up on the same round as each other.
- Summon Friend can only be used if there are less than four enemies present.

Notes:
- A jump or quake attack will flip over the Koopatrol.
- While charged up, Koopatrol cannot be flipped over.
- You may fight two Koopatrols in Shy Guy's Toybox (sent by Kammy Koopa).

- Invisible Boost: turns an enemy invisible for two rounds
- Single Heal: one enemy recovers 5 HP
- Multi-Heal: all enemies recover 3 HP
- Make Illusion: creates a duplicate illusion

AI:
- If Magikoopa(2) has a duplicate illusion, uses Illusion Blast.  Otherwise,
  picks randomly from other moves.
- Attack/Defence/Electric/Invisible Boost is never cast on another Magikoopa
  or itself.
- Magikoopa(2)s tend to boost all boostable enemies in order, starting with
  the front.
- Only use Multi-Heal if there are at least 2 enemies not at full HP.
- Only uses Single Heal on an enemy (including itself) that is not at full HP.
- Make Illusion can only be used if there are less than four enemies present.
- Tends to run away if alone.

Notes:
- This is the Magikoopa encountered as an ordinary enemy in Bowser's Castle.
- Can be flying on a broomstick or standing on the ground.
- A POW Block or any timed jump attack (excluding Sushie's Belly Flop) will
  knock a flying Magikoopa(2) off of its broom, turning it to Ground type.
- An enemy can be boosted by Attack Boost up to three times, and can also be
  boosted by Defence Boost up to three times.
- When Make Illusion is used, it is random which is the real Magikoopa(2) and
  which is the illusion.  Any damage or successful status ailment inflicted on
  Magikoopa(2) will destroy its illusion.
- Star Beam will immediately end the effects of
  Attack/Defence/Electric/Invisible Boost and Make Illusion.

  new tower if there are any Ninjakoopas able to join it the same round),
  otherwise uses Shell Toss.

Notes:
- A jump or quake attack will flip over R Ninjakoopa.
- If you successfully inflict R Ninjakoopa with Sleep or Dizzy, he will only

Attacks:

  in the squad (1 to 15).  There is one member in the squad for each HP
  remaining.  Doing damage knocks away an equal number of Shy Guys.

  hit by Mario or pushed enemy), one member will be removed from the stack (to
  a minimum of one).
- If shrunk, Spin Hammer will not push Shy Stack backwards or knock out a

Shrink:        Good, 2
Stop:          Poor, 2
Fear:          Immune
Air-Lift:      Immune

Attacks:
- Shell Heave: tosses a shell onto the rim of Mario's hat (3, loses a shell)
- Magic Spell: a rock drops on Mario, and then another drops on his partner
  (Mario: 2, Partner: 2, lag-block: block before it hits the character)
- Traitor Spell: a rock drops on Tutankoopa (Tutankoopa: 2, causes Tutankoopa
  to change from Elevated to Ground type)
- Summon Chomp: summons a chomp to join the battle

AI:
- Tutankoopa always uses Summon Chomp on his first turn, and for his third
  attack since a Chomp has been defeated.
- If he is not supposed to use Summon Chomp, Tutankoopa uses Shell Heave,
  unless he is shrunk, he used Shell Heave the previous round, or he is out of
  shells.
- If he is not supposed to use Summon Chomp or Shell Heave, he randomly uses
  Magic Spell or Traitor Spell.
- The first time he randomly chooses a spell, it will always be Magic Spell. 
  The second time will always be Traitor Spell.

Notes:
- Tutankoopa starts the battle with 3 shells.
- If Tutankoopa is on the ground, he returns himself to Elevated type before
  attacking (doesn't use up his turn).
- If Tutankoopa is shrunk, then Traitor Spell will only do 1 damage to himself.

/_____________________________________________________________________________\

Here is a list of all the specific effects of the game's badges.  I do not 
mention where/how a badge is obtained, as that is beyond the scope of this
guide.

+----------------+
| All or Nothing |
+----------------+

BP Cost: 4

Effects:
- Mario's attack power goes up by 1.  However, if the action command for a
  jump/hammer attack fails, then the attack will do no damage (other effects of
  the attack will still happen).
- This badge will not provide an attack boost for Mario's first-strikes (which
  will still do damage, due to the lack of an associated action command).
- For Mario's Power Bounce jump attack, if you only mess up on the last bounce
  by a small margin, you will still do full damage.  Missing by a large margin
  will cause only the last hit to do no damage.
- For Mario's Multibounce jump attack, messing up the action command will only
  cause the last enemy hit to receive no damage.  Provided there at least two
  non-ceiling enemies, then the last enemy hit does not need an action command
  to receive damage.


+-------------+
| Attack FX A |
+-------------+

BP Cost: 0

Effects:
- Changes the sound effects of Mario's hammer and jump attacks to sound like an
  echoing whistle.

  each attack.


+-------------+
| Attack FX B |
+-------------+

BP Cost: 0

Effects:
- Changes the sound effects of Mario's hammer and jump attacks to sound like a
  whistle increasing in pitch.
- If more than one Attack FX badge is equipped, then a random one is chosen for
  each attack.


+-------------+
| Attack FX C |
+-------------+

BP Cost: 0

Effects:
- Changes the sound effects of Mario's hammer and jump attacks to sound like a
  woman going "Ooh!"
- If more than one Attack FX badge is equipped, then a random one is chosen for
  each attack.


+-------------+
| Attack FX D |
+-------------+

BP Cost: 0

Effects:
- Changes the sound effects of Mario's hammer and jump attacks to sound like a
  twinkling bell.
- If more than one Attack FX badge is equipped, then a random one is chosen for
  each attack.


+-------------+
| Attack FX E |
+-------------+

BP Cost: 0

Effects:
- Changes the sound effects of Mario's hammer and jump attacks to sound like a
  classic yoshi grunt.
- If more than one Attack FX badge is equipped, then a random one is chosen for
  each attack.


+-------------+
| Bump Attack |
+-------------+

BP Cost: 5

Effects:
- If you make a first-strike against an enemy, or Mario touches an enemy out of
  battle, you will instantly win the battle if the enemy would not give Mario
  any star points (i.e. Mario's level is at least as high as the enemy's; see
  Section 5).
- This badge ignores whether any other enemies that would be present in the 
  battle would give Mario star points.  However, such enemies will not give 
  star points when you instant-win the battle.
- This badge overrides an enemy's first-strike, provided that the first-strike
  involved touching Mario.
- This badge overrides the effects of the Dizzy Attack badge.

  coins; see Section 5a), items, hearts, and flowers.

  actually execute the attack when the battle begins.

  easier to execute (e.g. larger time frames in which to hit a button, fewer 
  button presses required to fill a meter).  This includes Mario's jump/hammer
  attacks, reducing the damage an enemy inflicts, and running away from battle.

  battle would give Mario star points.  However, such enemies will not give

Effects:
- This badge makes all of Mario's jump and hammer attacks Ice elemental (except

  will instantly win the battle if the enemy would not give Mario any star
  points (i.e. Mario's level is at least as high as the enemy's; see Section

  star points when you instant-win the battle.
- This badge overrides an enemy's first-strike, provided that the first-strike
  involved touching Mario.
- This badge overrides the effects of the Dizzy Attack badge.

Version 2.0 - December 2006.
- Added badge section.
- Added monster level data, as well as method for calculating the number of
  star points dropped by enemies.
- Encouraged by a reader, I changed the Shrink values to be what appears in the
  game, not the effective number of reduced attacks.
- Added some item drops for Duplighost and Lakitu.
- Fixed a few errors.
- Decided to stop being paranoid and give my email address.

Version 1.1 - August 2006.
- Some additions to the item information for Bzzap!, Groove Guy, and Shy Guy.

Version 1.0 - June 2006.
- The first version of this guide.  Hopefully, there will be no need to update.
- In the future, I may add a section on badges, but I feel that it is beyond
  the scope of this guide.  Perhaps it would work better in a new FAQ.

First of all, I would obviously like to thank Nintendo, Intelligent Systems,
and everyone else involved in the production of Paper Mario.

Also, I would like to thank Jeff "CJayC" Veasey and all others involved in
www.gamefaqs.com for admitting this guide.

Special thanks goes to the owner of the Paper Mario Shrine at
www.rpgclassics.com.  That great site is what encouraged me to research all of
this information.

Those that were planning a speedrun of this game at www.speeddemosarchive.com
also encouraged me to start researching, as I wanted to find any tricks that
they could use.

A lot of thanks goes to Iron Knuckle, who came up with the formula to determine
the number of star points an enemy drops, as well as helping me to calculate
each enemy's level.  He also provided me with some item drops I missed, and
suggested I change the way Shrink data is presented.

Also, thanks to some of the members of the GameFAQs message board for this
game, as they encouraged me to type up my results in an FAQ.

Sorry to anyone I may have forgotten.
