Triple Dip

Triple Dip is a badge that appears only in Paper Mario.

In the game, Triple Dip allows Mario to use three different items during each of his turns. Like Double Dip, this does not use up Mario's Partner's turn nor can it be used to use multiple attacks, such as a hammer attack, each turn.

Location

The badge is found in a very secret area of the Crystal Palace so this badge isn't found until the end of Chapter 7. Inside fo the palace, there is a room with part of the mirror that turns around when one of the four near-by switches activates. In the top area of this room, Mario must use Bombette and blow up the upper right wall. In doing so, Mario blasts a hole in the wall thus allowing him to proceed onward. In the next room, there is a Duplighost that resembles the Clubba on the other side. On this side of the room, however, there is a treasure chest. Mario can by-pass the Duplighost but as long as he opens up the chest, the Triple Dip badge will be his as the badge is inside of this chest.

Effect
Triple Dip can be a confusing badge as the badge itself can be quite tricky. It cost a total of 4 BP to wear and the attack "Triple Dip" in battle costs a total of 6 FP to use. Mario can, choose to Double Dip if he wants to so long as this badge is equipped. However, doing this will NOT change the FP cost, Mario will instead just end his turn. Make a note that this effect can only be used on Items, not attacks, Star Spirits, et cetera.

Strategy
This badge is very useful in dealing massive damage to foes in a group or one party. Using three shooting stars or other attacking items can result in almost 20 damage! Another helpful use for this and Double Dip is to heal and attack in the same turn or use a defensive item like the Stone Cap (Paper Mario Only) or Repel Jel (Paper Mario Only). This badge cannot be used by the partners Mario has out as partners cannot use items until Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in which this badge is not in the game.
