Hello, readers! This is the first game FAQ I've ever written, and it kept
my interest for just under a year and a half before languishing in obscurity
for seven more years. It's just a "for-fun" kind of FAQ, surviving mainly on
content submitted by readers and not offering the kind of gameplay strategies
or comprehensive tables you might see in other FAQs.
So apparently, in my youth, I gave permission for GameFAQs, Neoseeker, and
cheating.de to host this FAQ. Given the age of the game there probably aren't
any other big websites that would be interested in hosting this FAQ as well,
and the fans who still play this game probably visit GameFAQs anyway.
I originally asked readers not to steal the ASCII art at the top of the
FAQ, but today I don't find it impressive, and I probably couldn't give it away
if I wanted to. If you want to copy it, fine. Heck, I'll probably just replace
it with something made by one of those ASCII-art-generating websites I found
out about a few years back.

====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====
v1.0 (submitted February 27, 2001): This was the first draft, containing the
first three Combos by me. I hope to add more, so send 'em in (details at the
end of the FAQ). So far, GameFAQs is the only site allowed to post this FAQ.
v1.1 (submitted March 1, 2001): Updated a few errors, and added some Combos,
including some that others have given me permission to use. Send in any you
may have, too!
v1.2 (submitted March 5, 2001): A couple of new Combos. Oh, and Neoseeker.com
offered to host my FAQ. So if you see it there, remember, it's allowed to have
it! And it's been four weeks since my fifteenth birthday on February 5! Woohoo!
v1.3 (submitted March 7, 2001): I read something from Spike on the GameFAQs
Message Boards. He says to combine the "Last Chance!" and "Untouchable" Combos.
Excellent idea.
v1.4 (submitted March 11, 2001): Mastermind really is the mastermind of Badge
Combos, sending in four spectacular ones, and many more to come.
v1.5 (submitted March 13, 2001): Got a Combo from squirrelboy, as he would like
to be called. He says the Combo is the one he uses against Bowser.
v1.6 (submitted March 19, 2001): Here come three more Combos from Mastermind
(and one of them happened to be one I had thought of myself). Oh well...
v1.7 (submitted March 27, 2001): Mastermind reminded me to update... hey, I
actually have a real life, ya know! ^_^ But seriously, I'm glad you guys care.
v1.8 (submitted April 7, 2001): Yawn... what time is it? ACK! Wow, it's been a
while since I last updated... sorry about that. Oh well, better late then
never, right?
v2.0 (submitted May 1, 2001): Surprised? I bet... anyway, because the size of
this update is about two updates, I've skipped v1.9 and gone straight to v2.0.
Enjoy, please.
v2.1 (submitted May 17, 2001): OK, from now on, updates will be about every
half-month as long as I keep getting Combos, no matter how many or how few I'm
sent. Capisce?
v2.2 (submitted June 1, 2001): Updates! Yay! Um...also, cheating.de is a new
host of my FAQ. The site may be in another language, but hey, that doesn't
matter to me.
v2.3 (submitted July 18, 2001): OK, XShortguy008 (the 007 was temporary, he
says) has granted us three more Badge Combos.
v2.4 (submitted October 23, 2001): I've been going without an update for WAY
too long, haven't I? Anyhoo, got some more Badge Combos, and from new people,
too!
v2.5 (submitted October 24, 2001): Erk, I never sent in the last update. Oh
well, that means you get a lot more only one day later!
v2.6 (submitted June 29, 2002): "Um... I'm not quite dead yet..." so it looks
like you're FINALLY getting a HUMONGOUS update! Sorry, blame school.
v3.0 (submitted July 14, 2009): Seven years later... one email... will uncover
a forgotten text. Badge Combos... Version 3... now playing!
v3.1 (submitted August 31, 2009): I've added a couple of new submissions and
the first YouTube video URL.

You've gotta know who Mario is. That's why there's no "Who is Mario?"
chapter in this FAQ. And now that there are three games with "Paper Mario"
somewhere in the title, you probably know something about them too. In fact, I
should probably be the one who's ashamed to have not yet played the newer two
ones at all. But as for the game itself, Paper Mario is a role-playing game set
in the colorful fantasy world of the Mushroom Kingdom. The designs of allies
and enemies alike are based on familiar faces, and the action frequently calls
on its platformer roots while still bringing along many gameplay elements of
the RPG genre, including turn-based battles, experience levels, and list-based
inventories of items and equipment. The characters are physically paper-thin
(hence the title) but exist in a three-dimensional world, creating a new visual
experience to help contrast with Super Mario RPG before it.

[4] W H A T I S A B A D G E ?
====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====*====
Many RPGs -- including Super Mario RPG -- let the player swap the weapons
and armor carried by the player characters whenever they buy or find new ones.
Paper Mario doesn't really do that: at most, you get a few upgrades to your
hammer and boots. Part of this game's unique gameplay is that equipping various
Badges you'll find endows Mario with new attacks, stat boosts, or other special
powers -- and that is where RPG-like customization comes in. Mario is limited
in the number of Badges he can wear at once by his Badge Points, or BP. He has
only 3 BP at the start of the game, but he can choose to increase that number
by three more when he gains a new experience level, with a maximum of 30 BP.
Badges with more powerful effects tend to cost more BP to equip. Since this
guide is all about wearing Badges together, there's a chapter with a list of
all the Badges and their BP costs. If you want to know what a Badge does or
where to find it in the game, then there are already plenty of other FAQs that
have those angles covered.

Badge combo, badge setup... players may have different names for their
currently-equipped Badges, and I don't remember the game giving the idea a
particular name, so "badge combination" (or "badge combo") it is for this FAQ.
To be more specific, a badge combination is any group of Badges whose effects
complement each other for a particular purpose (such as earning lots of coins,
maximizing Mario's attacking or defending power, or just offering a wacky
assortment of abilities). Since most of Mario's customization comes from the
Badges he wears, some players might handicap his other stats and rely on a
skillful choice of Badges to succeed as a game challenge.
Many others have submitted their own badge combinations to me, and you can
too! The suggested format is at the beginning of the next section, and my
contact info is near the very end of the FAQ. Unfortunately, there are plenty
of old submissions that never made it in and have been long lost to the digital
ether due to my waning interest at the time. Maybe this revival of the FAQ can
help change that.
Finally -- and this is the event that spurred my reinterest in this FAQ --
I've been contacted by an individual named Krystian who wants to make video
demonstrations of the badge combos here and post them up on YouTube. Since many
of the combos here could use some actual critique (especially considering their
age), it sounds like a golden opportunity to expand upon the whole purpose of
this FAQ. Krystian's YouTube channel is "Novicegamer43", and I'll be adding
video links in future updates, so stay tuned!

Badge combinations are written in the following format:
> Name of Badge combination
> Submitter of badge combination
> Total BP required to equip badge combination
> List of Badges (with BP requirement for each Badge)
> Description of badge combination
For example:
NAME: For Demonstration Only!
SUBMITTER: KirbyManiac
BP REQUIRED: 6
BADGES: Badge A (1)
Badge B (2)
Badge C (3)
This combo is for showing what the format looks like. It's quite cheap at only
6 BP, but doesn't have much practical purpose beyond demonstration.
Descriptions in quotes are written by the combo's original submitter, though I
do proofread and edit for readability. Also, if I have a comment on someone
else's description, it'll show up in square brackets.
Once Krystian has uploaded a video of a combo, I'll add its YouTube link to the
combo's information. Please contribute your thoughts to make this FAQ even more
useful to its readers!
Now, onto the real badge combinations!
NAME: Jump to It!
SUBMITTER: KirbyManiac
BP REQUIRED: 21
BADGES: Power Jump (1)
Mega Jump (3)
Multibounce (1)
Jump Charge (1)
S. Jump Chg. (2)
Shrink Stomp (1)
Sleep Stomp (1)
Dizzy Stomp (1)
D-Down Jump (2)
Power Bounce (2)
Ice Power (2)
Fire Shield (2)
Spike Shield (2)
YouTube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv1_ig5vQ9E
As you can tell, this combo is suited for Jump attacks. Although some, like
Power Jump, aren't very useful by the time you get some of the other Badges,
they allow for a variety of attacks. Other Badges in this combo let you Jump on
enemies that usually hurt Mario if he tries to jump on them.
NAME: Hammer Time!
SUBMITTER: KirbyManiac
BP REQUIRED: 18
BADGES: Power Smash (1)
Mega Smash (3)
Smash Charge (1)
S. Smash Chg. (2)
Spin Smash (1)
Quake Hammer (1)
Power Quake (2)
Mega Quake (3)
Hammer Throw (2)
D-Down Pound (2)
Similar to "Jump To It!" but with Hammer attacks instead. In case you don't
know, the Ice Power Badge gives both Jump AND Hammer attacks an icy boost,
which is why it's also in here. For Spear Guys with their spear pointed
forward, you might want the Spike Shield Badge equipped if you decide to use
Hammer attacks on them.
NAME: Sound Off!
SUBMITTER: KirbyManiac
BP REQUIRED: 0
BADGES: Attack FX A (0)
Attack FX B (0)
Attack FX C (0)
Attack FX D (0)
Attack FX E (0)
Each Attack FX Badge causes Mario's attacks to have different sounds when they
hit. Equipping more than one Attack FX Badge at a time causes the Badge that
changes the sound made from attacking to be randomly chosen for each hit,
causing a smorgasbord of varying sounds. Attack FX Badges cost no BP to wear,
so why not try this combo at least for fun?
NAME: Now You Saw Me...
SUBMITTER: KirbyManiac
BP REQUIRED: 14
BADGES: Chill Out (2)
Speedy Spin (1)
Dizzy Attack (2)
Spin Attack (3)
First Attack (1)
Bump Attack (5)
When rushing through areas with weak enemies, not wanting to fight, this badge
combo allows you to blaze through battles, should you find yourself in an
unwanted one. Many of these Badges only work on enemies too weak to give any
Star Points when defeated.
NAME: Power Up! (name by KirbyManiac)
SUBMITTER: wwwcom654
BP REQUIRED: 12
BADGES: Power Plus (6)
Power Bounce (2)
Spike Shield (2)
Dodge Master (2)
Not a bad combo. Sure, it's like my first one, but it's simple and more likely
you would equip all of it, plus it has Power Plus in it. Dodge Master makes
Action Commands easier to time, which helps make more Power Bounces in a row.
Spike Shield is pretty much a must for Jump-related combos.
NAME: Coins Galore! (name by KirbyManiac)
SUBMITTER: wwwcom654
BP REQUIRED: 30
BADGES: Power Quake (2)
Peekaboo (3)
Happy Flower (3)
Happy Flower (3)
Power Plus (6)
Power Plus (6)
Money Money (7)
According to the creator, this helps make money in Dry Dry Desert. Well, it
works, but later you can use something like Bump Attack to instantly beat the
enemies you run into. Plus, you need quite a few Star Pieces to trade to Merlow
for Money Money. Of course, this combo can be quite practical elsewhere.
NAME: Last Chance! (name by KirbyManiac)
SUBMITTER: Spike
BP REQUIRED: 3
BADGES: Last Stand (1)
Power Rush (1)
Mega Rush (1)
If you find yourself in Danger (5 HP or less) frequently, this combo can work
wonders. Now, there are some other Badges that work well with this combo (like
Lucky Day), but this is quite a good start. It packs a wallop, and even at the
start of this game you would have enough BP to wear this badge combo (if you
somehow have these Badges back then).
NAME: Untouchable
SUBMITTER: Chris Tran (aka PaperBowser)
BP REQUIRED: 11
BADGES: Close Call (1)
Pretty Lucky (3)
Lucky Day (7)
"This Combo will make you almost invincible. With Pretty Lucky and Lucky Day,
you would be less likely to be hit. When you're in Danger, Close Call will be
activated making you even more invincible. If you want to become even more
invincible, use Lakilester's Cloud Nine. When you use this, the chances of
being hit is 25% or less."
Spike suggested to combine the two combos above. Heh, just look at what it
does... and at only 14 BP too! Plumber caps off to Spike!
NAME: All-Purpose Battling Outfit
SUBMITTER: Giovanni
BP REQUIRED: 30
BADGES: Power Bounce (2)
Double Dip (1)
Peekaboo (3)
Dodge Master (2)
Power Plus (6)
Damage Dodge (3)
Ice Power (2)
Fire Shield (2)
Spike Shield (2)
Feeling Fine (4)
Zap Tap (4)
Attack FX A (0)
Attack FX B (0)
Attack FX C (0)
Attack FX D (0)
Attack FX E (0)
"Basically an all-out battling outfit. Fire Shield + Ice Power + Spike Shield
are there so you can Power Bounce on anything, and Power Plus + Ice Power ups
the damage you do. Dodge Master is deceiving: it not only makes the action
command work more when you defend against enemy strikes, but it also makes the
action command work more when you attack, too! You can get like 75 Power
Bounces (my record) this way. Feeling Fine so you can continue to Bounce
unobstructed, and Zap Tap for that extra damage and for when those annoying
Fuzzys decide to become vampires... they won't even touch you. Double Dip so
you can fully heal w/ a Deluxe Feast and something else. Damage Dodge combos
with Dodge Master so you block more attacks w/ more effectiveness. Peekaboo
makes it so you don't have to Tattle on Bowser and still see his HP, netting
you an extra turn to attack. And the Attack FX Badges are there for no reason
at all..."
NAME: Pure Offense
SUBMITTER: Chris Tran (aka PaperBowser)
BP REQUIRED: 24
BADGES: Power Bounce (2)
Dodge Master (2)
Power Plus (6)
Power Plus (6)
P-Up, D-Down (2)
All or Nothing (4)
Spike Shield (2)
"With this Badge Combo, all you want to do is just keep using Power Bounce. If
you have the Ultra Boots, your attack power will be 7. With the Power Bounce
and Dodge Master badge, you will be able to do 20 damage or more if you're good
at timing. I also recommend Watt for your partner because she can use Electro
Dash, doing 5 at Ultra-rank so that's 25+ per turn. You can easily beat the
Master's final form in 4 turns or less."
NAME: "The Fortress"
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 30
BADGES: Defend Plus (6)
Power Plus (6)
HP Plus (3)
HP Plus (3)
FP Plus (3)
FP Plus (3)
Mega Quake (3)
Power Bounce (3)
Quite aptly named, IMHO. A fortress has solid offense and defense, and this
badge combo delivers there. The Plus Badges increases your powers, while Mega
Quake blasts earthbound enemies and knocks off enemies on the ceiling. Power
Bounce can nail a single threat, while Mega Quake shakes up anyone on the floor
and/or knocks off those on the ceiling.
NAME: "The Brick Wall"
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 17
BADGES: Defend Plus (6)
HP Plus (3)
HP Plus (3)
HP Plus (3)
Dodge Master (2)
This one's all about defense, obviously. With Defend Plus, the enemy needs
quite a bit of attack power to make a dent in Mario's HP, and Dodge Master
makes you block easier, further decreasing the hurt the opposition can deal.
With all three HP Plus Badges, you'll be able to keep Mario going a bit
longer, which can sometimes make a big difference.
NAME: "The Cannon"
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 24
BADGES: Power Plus (6)
Power Plus (6)
FP Plus (3)
FP Plus (3)
FP Plus (3)
Mega Smash (3)
Quite the opposite of the last one, this Combo reverses the roles. Mario hits
with a ton of attack power to blast through high defensive ratings, and FP Plus
Badges give him more Flower Points to use for Mega Smash, which hits with mucho
attack power anyway.
NAME: "Preparation X"
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 30
BADGES: Power Plus (6)
Defend Plus (6)
Power Bounce (3)
HP Plus (3)
FP Plus (3)
Peekaboo (3)
Mega Smash (3)
Mega Quake (3)
When in unfamiliar territory, you can never be too careful. This well-rounded
combo is definitely a great way to go in such cases. Until you can max out your
BP to 30 and get all the needed Badges, you can use the various Badges you do
have to assemble a more BP-friendly version of it.
NAME: Pure Defense
SUBMITTER: squirrelboy
BP REQUIRED: 30
BADGES: Mega Quake (3)
Power Plus (6)
Defend Plus (6)
Damage Dodge (3)
Damage Dodge (3)
P-Down, D-Up (2)
Lucky Day (7)
"With this, you can take off a possible 4 damage, or avoid attack with Lucky
Day. Power Plus is to keep your attack even, and when you are facing someone
with a high defense, or a lot of enemies, you can use Mega Quake to take 'em
out."
NAME: Protective Barrier
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 23
BADGES: Spike Shield (2)
Fire Shield (2)
Defend Plus (6)
Chill Out (2)
Feeling Fine (4)
Zap Tap (4)
Damage Dodge (3)
This Combo really lives up to its name well. It's obviously different from the
Brick Wall combo from the same creator. The Shield Badges let you stomp on fire
and spiked enemies, while Zap Tap punishes enemies who physically attack. You
can lower the damage received with the defense-based Badges, and the rest takes
care of other related matters.
NAME: Multigain
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 29
BADGES: Payoff (2)
Mega Quake (3)
Happy Flower (3)
Happy Flower (3)
Happy Heart (3)
Happy Heart (3)
Bump Attack (5)
Money Money (7)
This combo has "making money" written all over it. Payoff lets you get more
Coins from getting hurt, while the Happy Heart Badges restore the lost HP.
Blast the enemies with Mega Quake for heavy damage, and let the Happy Flower
Badges restore some of the FP. Once you win, whether from battling or Bump
Attack, Money Money keeps the Coins coming.
NAME: Extreme Focus
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 5
BADGES: Deep Focus (1)
Deep Focus (1)
Deep Focus (1)
Group Focus (2)
Equipping all three Deep Focus Badges lets Mario lets him restore... just over
a full bar of Star Power? Maybe having all three isn't any better than just
having one, but I could be wrong... I hope so! Unfortunately, Badges don't have
any effect on your allies, so they still restore half a bar of Star Power when
Group Focus lets them use Focus.
NAME: Give me it all back!
SUBMITTER: Pieomon
BP REQUIRED: 30
BADGES: Happy Flower (3)
Happy Flower (3)
Happy Heart (3)
Happy Heart (3)
Power Bounce (2)
HP Drain (3)
FP Plus (3)
All or Nothing (4)
Flower Finder (3)
Heart Finder (3)
"This is so that you gain the max amount of stuff back. The FP Plus Badge helps
you get in more Power Bounces. If you Power Bounce 5 times, HP Drain'll give
you 5 HP every turn! All or Nothing is to help your attack back up, and the
other stuff is to gain back Flower and Heart Points that you do happen to
lose."
NAME: Strength in Powers
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 22
BADGES: Mega Jump (3)
Multibounce (1)
Shrink Stomp (1)
Sleep Stomp (1)
Dizzy Stomp (1)
D-Down Jump (2)
Power Bounce (3)
Mega Smash (3)
Mega Quake (3)
Hammer Throw (2)
D-Down Pound (2)
With this Badge Combo, you gain a huge variety of Hammer and Jump attacks. Use
the Stomp Badges to inflict various status effects, and the Mega Badges launch
attacks that make "powerful" an understatement. Wait, isn't this just a
toned-down combination of my first two Combos? Oh well, it sure packs a
punch... er, hammer and jump...
NAME: Flower Reserve
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 30
BADGES: Flower Saver (6)
Flower Saver (6)
FP Plus (3)
FP Plus (3)
FP Plus (3)
Mega Smash (3)
Power Bounce (3)
Multibounce (1)
Dizzy Attack (2)
With this Combo, you can maximize your FP count, and reduce the cost of the
techniques available from the attack-related Badges. [NOTE: According to
sonofbreid, it's useless to equip more than one Flower Saver Badge at once. I
must check this for myself.]
NAME: HP+FP+SP+Items
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 26
BADGES: Deep Focus (1)
Deep Focus (1)
Deep Focus (1)
Group Focus (2)
FP Plus (3)
FP Plus (3)
FP Plus (3)
HP Plus (3)
HP Plus (3)
HP Plus (3)
Triple Dip (3)
Note: the SP in the title stands for Star Power. With that said, this Combo is
quite aptly named. With the maximum in HP and FP, the ability to recover Star
Power and use three items at once, it's like a great insurance policy at the
price of only 26 BP. Equipping Double Dip might help for when you only need to
use two items at once instead of three.
NAME: Super Man
SUBMITTER: Drew Haas (aka MEGA Articuno)
BP REQUIRED: 30
BADGES: Close Call (1)
Pretty Lucky (7)
Dodge Master (2)
P-Down, D-up (2)
Defense Plus (6)
Happy Flower (3)
Happy Heart (3)
HP Plus (3)
HP Plus (3)
"As the name says, you won't be touched much. IF you are touched, however,
you'll have so little damage it won't hurt you. Also, Water Block and Cloud
Nine help this combo A LOT. Everything is self-explanitory, so it's easy to
figure out what this combo does. At least I hope so. :�"
NAME: Ultimate Bounce!
SUBMITTER: squirrelboy
BP REQUIRED:
BADGES: D-Down Jump (2)
Power Plus (6)
Power Plus (6)
Defend Plus (6)
P-Up, D-Down (2)
All or Nothing (4)
Power Bounce (2)
"This combo is a no-nonsense powerhouse-jump creator. A jump on a regular enemy
will do 14 damage, no FP! (3+2 from Power Plus, 1 from P-Up, D-down, and 1 from
All or Nothing = 7 x 2 from the timed hit and you've got 14!) Defend Plus is to
counteract the effect of P-Up, D-Down so you don't die too quickly, Power
Bounce is if they have a high HP, and D-Down Jump for a higher-defensive enemy.
Of course, it's good to have a couple of Life Shrooms handy in case you DO die,
but other than that, you should have no problems."
NAME: Multiattack
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 26
BADGES: Mega Quake (3)
Multibounce (2)
Flower Saver (6)
Flower Saver (6)
FP Plus (3)
FP Plus (3)
FP Plus (3)
This combo focuses on attacking all enemies at once. Along with the two
attacking Badges, the rest maximize your FP count and minimize the rate at
which you use it. You could also throw in a Happy Flower Badge if you wanted.
[Author's note: Check double Flower Savers.]
NAME: Take a Chance!
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 24
BADGES: Lucky Day (7)
Pretty Lucky (3)
Close Call (1)
All or Nothing (4)
Damage Dodge (3)
Happy Heart (3)
Happy Heart (3)
With this Combo, you're really taking a gamble. With Lucky Day, Pretty Lucky,
and Close Call, you've got a chance at staying in the game longer when at low
HP, hoping for the Happy Heart Badges to slowly restore it. The other two
Badges are nice complements.
NAME: HP Helper
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 26
BADGES: Defend Plus (6)
HP Plus (3)
HP Plus (3)
HP Plus (3)
Dodge Master (2)
Heart Finder (3)
Happy Heart (3)
Happy Heart (3)
Here you have a handy way of keeping your HP up. You have a high maximum HP,
the ability to slowly replenish HP and find HP-restoring Hearts, and a few
damage-evading Badges to boot. If you have some other Badges to lower the
damage you'll take, use 'em too!
NAME: FP Helper
SUBMITTER: VGMaster96 (aka Mastermind)
BP REQUIRED: 30
BADGES: Flower Saver (6)
Flower Saver (6)
FP Plus (3)

"2 Damage Dodges and a Defend Plus helps you prevent up to 5 points of damage.
Dodge Master helps you time the action command better. Last Stand prevents half
the damage when your in danger. Pretty Lucky and Lucky Day make enemies miss
you a lot so you don't take that much damage anyways. Close Call adds even more
invincibility when your in danger. You probably won't even need Last Stand and
Close Call anyways since you'll take so little damage most of the time. So you
can take Last Stand and/or Close Call off if you want to and put on some some
other Badge. I'd recommend Zap Tap if you take them off. Zap Tap gets rid of
those annoying enemies who try to suck your HP out and recover it for
themselves."

damage since he has a defense of one. Use Power Bounce: 33 + 32 + 31 + 30 =

"This badge combination is mostly offense with a little endurance. The two
Power Plus Badges and the P-Up, D-Down badge gives you 3 extra points of attack
power. Jump Power: 6+6=12! Hammer power: 9. Multibounce will do 6 points of
damage (which is a pretty good amount of damage in one hit) to both ground and
flying enemies for only 2FP! And don't worry about spiked enemies. Your hammer
will be so powerful that you can just whack'em with your hammer. The two HP
Plus badges give you 10 extra HP so that you can last pretty long. Ex. 50HP+
10HP=60HP!! The Defend Plus Badge is there to make up for the D-Down part of
the P-Up, D-Down badge. And if you're really good at the defending action
command then Damage Dodge gives you more defense to last longer. Some extra
stuff is that you could replace Multibounce with Mega Quake Hammer by either
taking the BP from HP Plus or Damage Dodge. The attack power would be 9 points
of damage to only ground and ceiling enemies. It may be more powerful, but it
costs 7FP, 5 more FP than Multibounce. And there aren't many ceiling enemies.
And you would only have 5 extra HP instead of 10 or you wouldn't be able to
have an extra defense point from Damage Dodge. But it's your call."

"Because HP Drain is very useful to the weak, and Power Plus cancels it's minus
Attack power, I like it. When you add in Last Stand you'll take less damage
when your about to die, and you'll do more damage, too, with Power Rush. If you
have just 1 HP left you'll be even more Powerful with Mega Rush, and I find
that Dodge Master is a waste of BP for those very skilled at action commands,
so it isn't neccesary to complement fighting and is a hinderance, anyway. S
Jump Charge, Ice Power and Spike shield improve your Power Bouncing, and S Jump
Charge, for not much FP, can make your Multibounce stronger than Mega Quake,
while Quake Hammer is to get those things off the ceiling where you can hit
them with Jumps. Finally, Zap Tap keeps HP stealing creatures from doing ANY
damage at all, while keeping two-part attacks (the Master has one, for example)
from doing the second part."

"My belief is that Badge Combos that only do one thing are bad. Note the
absence of HP Plus and FP Plus. I think these Badges have questionable
benefits. Also note the absence of Power Plus and Defend Plus. I think that it
isn't worth 6 BP to raise offense and defense by one point. The Jump attacks
are relatively self-explanatory. Power Smash is intended for attacking enemies
with high defense power. Hammer Throw is self-explanatory (so you don't have to
jump on enemies you don't have an appropriate "shield" Badge for. Dodge Master
reduces the difficulty of the Power Bounce to a tolerable level (yes, I'm that
bad), but it might be useful for other players because it improves the success
rate of all Action Commands regardless of their purpose. Happy Heart helps to
restore HP (FP-recovering items seem to be more common than HP-recovering
items). Deep Focus is to help restore Star Power faster when you use Focus.
However, you might want to replace it with Last Stand or Power Rush if you're
battling the final Bowser. Flower Saver helps reduce the negative effect of FP-
wasting strategies. Damage Dodge increases blocking power to 2 HP, which is
somewhat useful in Bowser's Castle if you have a habit of not leveling up HP
often enough. Pretty Lucky is self-explanatory (I can't get Lucky Day because
I'm not very good at delivering letters). Spike Shield makes Jump attacks more
useful (spikes enemies are more common than fire enemies; change it to Ice
Power if you're fighting a lot of fire enemies). Dizzy Attack and Speedy Spin
help you to get into battle with a knockout punch (I don't know how else to
explain it). I don't have all five Attack FX Badges, but turn on the ones you
have."

Chill Out prevents Mario from taking damage from a First Strike (but he will

for disposing of lots of enemies at once. Quick Change is the most useful
badge, nuff said. Dodge Master helps when you're untalented with the action
command. Power Plus and All Or Nothing increase attack power which is nice
(although it costs a lot of Badge Points). Lucky Day greatly increases your

dealing enough damage before you use Deep Focus to refill your Star Power and
use Smooch/Refresh. It can also do 1(2 if you jump) extra damage, as well as
being able to fit all enemies on the ground and ceiling. Your HP and FP will
recover automatically, so you don�t have to use items very often, but when you
do, you�ll get money from Refund. If you don�t have enough BP, the badge, or
you just don�t like a badge here, you can switch out some of the less important
ones like Refund, Deep Focus and Power Quake or maybe Happy Heart/Flower."

For anyone (including myself) who needs help calculating BP totals for
Badge Combos, I've created two lists of Badges and their associated costs. The
list on the left lists the Badges as they are listed in the game, while the
list on the right lists the Badges in alphabetical order. Badges are listed
multiple times if more than one can be acquired.
