Bump Attack

Bump Attack is a badge that first appears in Paper Mario. It later makes an apperance in Paper Mairo: The Thousand-year door. It is the final version of the "Attack Badges" like Dizzy Spin, Spin Attack, and First Attack.

In Paper Mario, the badge is very hard to get and is somewhat more helpful than in TTYD. The badge is one of the many items obtainable from Rip Cheato. Rip Cheato will sell a random item to Mario for the cost of 64 coins. Sometimes the item is worth the cost, although other times it is not. So, this makes the badge hard to obtain.

The use of the badge is really quite simple. It, when equipped, automatically skips battle and defeats any enemy that Mario touches. However, the enemies that the badge automatically defeats must not give any Star Points to Mario upon its defeat. Enemies like Dry Bones and Amazee Daizees will be some of the enemies that the badge doesn't defeat.

In The Thousand-Year Door, Bump Attack gives the same ability to Mario. The badge automatically defeats any foe that Mario touches. In TTYD, however, Mario automaticallty gets a Star Point at the end of the battle regardless of the enemies he is facing. The badge is helpful when adventuring areas that have been scoured through many times, but Mario can actually obtain less than fighting the way through. Bump Attack is also quite difficult in this game as well. The badge is found deep within the Pit of 100 Trials. Inside of the 80th floor's chest, Bump Attack is found. Like First Attack, Bump Attack DOES NOT work in the Pit of 100 Trials. It will work in any other location, however.
