Tips & Tricks

• Badges like Happy Heart and Happy Flower are crucial in Paper Mario so that HP and FP can be restored mid-battle.
• Because you can game over if Mario is KO'd, evasion badges like Close Call can also be useful to equip.
• In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, make sure to utilize Quick Change since Mario can't spend his turn swapping out a partner!
