P-Up, D-Down

P-Up, D-Down is a badge in the Paper Mario series

This badge is found in the Crystal Palace in Paper Mario. This badge is actually really good. Since, by the time you get this badge, Mario should be all powerful anyway, this badge is really helpful. For the final fights, Mario can use this badge with little reprocusions as Mario's HP will be in the 40's or 50's so in reality, Mario doesn't need the lowered Defense. This badge lowers Mario's defense points by one but gives him an additional point in attack.

In TTYD, This badge's usefulness increases. Since Mario can get an infinite, yet it is difficult to do, amount of Defend Plus or other defense increasing badges, Mario can use this badge with even less reprocusions. This badge has the same effect that it had in the last game. This badge can also be obtained an infinite number of times because, as long as Mario has Ms. Mowz, he can steal these badges from Elite X-Nauts and Dark Koopatrols. Mario can also find this badge in the Riverside Station.
