Mario and his partner always perform the action command perfectly. They will also perform all Stylish Moves.
Mario and his partner will Superguard against all attacks.
The Run meter will fill by itself.

Warning: When this badge is equipped, Power Bounce will continue until reaching the targeted enemy's soft cap of bounces. For bosses this is around 5-9 bounces, but for normal enemies this is 9999 bounces.

In the Japanese version of the game, it's possible for this item to appear in the player's inventory if they have more than 10 items when the Strange Sack is removed from the player's inventory when they open the blue cage door in the Great Tree.

Paper Mario Badges#

Badges based on ones from the first Paper Mario game. Most of these were made redundant with the badge stacking system.

Mega Jump#

Badge ID: 014C
Item Name: Mega Jump Invalid Item
Description: Invalid Item
Badge Points: 3
Selling Price: 5 Coins
Allows Mario to perform a jump attack (also named Invalid Item) for 6 FP. This attack does ((Jump Power x 2) + 4) damage to one enemy. This badge can also be stacked. Each additional copy doubles the FP cost and increases the attack power by 4. The attack animation is identical to Power Jump and has the same Stylish Move.

Mega Quake#

Badge ID: 014E
Item Name: Mega Quake Invalid Item
Description: Invalid Item
Badge Points: 4
Selling Price: 5 Coins
Allows Mario to perform a hammer attack (also named Invalid Item) for 7 FP. This attack does 10 piercing damage to all grounded enemies. This badge can also be stacked. Each additional copy doubles the FP cost and increases the attack power by 4. The attack animation is nearly identical to Quake Hammer, but the Action Command is faster and there are no Stylish Moves. There is also a slight visual bug. Mario will be holding the correct Hammer as he jumps up, but on the way back down his Hammer temporarily changes:

If Mario has the normal Hammer, he will be holding the Ultra Hammer.
If Mario has the Super Hammer, he will be holding the normal Hammer.
If Mario has the Ultra Hammer, he will be holding the Super Hammer.

Poisoned Cake

This is a dubious but delicious-looking cake. But why is it at a place like this?
Item ID: 0042
This cake can be found at the Glitz Pit, but it can't be placed in the player's inventory as it's automatically eaten. Judging by its placement in the item table, it was intended to be a key item.

Like the blue paper, but it's not blue, obviously.

Cake#

Cake

**msg_cake**
いわゆる　『ケーキ』いわゆる　うまい

It's what's called "cake". It's what's called delicious.
Item ID: 00A0
Selling Price: 5 Coins
This cake can be found at the Glitz Pit, but it's not placed in the player's inventory as it's automatically eaten. However, if hacked into the inventory, it does have a use! It will restore 10 HP and can be used in and out of battle.

Koopa Curse#

**in_kame_no_noroi**
カメののろい

**in_kame_no_noroi**
Koopa Curse

**msg_kame_no_noroi**
『カメののろい』だよん

It's the "Turtle Curse!"
Item ID: 00B2
Selling Price: 5 Coins
This is functionally complete, though its image in the menu and in battle is the default Zap Tap image.

Which is odd, since there is an appropriate image in the game.
Using this item in battle will give one enemy the "Slow" status effect, forcing it to rest every other turn. This lasts for 3 turns and does not stack.

Trade Off#

**in_teki_kyouka**
テキツヨクスルン

**in_teki_kyouka**
Trade Off

**msg_teki_kyouka**
バトル後に　出る　スターポイントがふだんより　おおくなる

**msg_teki_kyouka**
Earns more Star Points than usual after battles.

Item ID: 0091
Selling Price: 5 Coins
An interesting item that was very close to being completed, but was ultimately discarded. It even had its description translated! Unlike the Koopa Curse, it uses the appropriate image in all menus and in battle.

Using it in battle will cause all enemies to "Rank Up!", which raises their hidden Level values (which determines Star Points earned when the enemy is defeated) by 5. While the "Rank Up!" message (and the item's name) implies that the enemies would get tougher, the enemies' attack and defense stats do not change.

Other Unused Item Images#

Items that weren't coded at all.

An unused coconut recipe involving a spoon or something.

Some sort of rod with a fire flower at the head. Probable combat item.

A pillow. It could have been an early version of the blanket that you need to get for the Excess Express' conductor.
