Paper Mario

Hyper Clefts are a variant of Cleft which appear in both Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They are located along roadsides in both installments also. These creatures are the strongest of the "hyper" enemies, having high amounts of both offense and defense. Unfortunately, they lack in high HP values, having only 4 HP. These enemies also have a weakness toward earthquake attacks like the POW Block.

In Paper Mario series[]

Paper Mario[]

These deadly enemies are found in Gusty Gulch, a desert-like area leading to Tubba Blubba's Castle. Mario finds a few of these enemies waiting near pits and cramped areas. These Clefts, like regular ones, turn into rocks when unnoticed, making them quite sneaky.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[]

Along the Twilight Trail, Mario finds various "hyper" versions of Goombas, but it isn't until the end of the trail he finds this powerful beast. These creatures share the same weaknesses as their Paper Mario versions, so Mario knows how to easily defeat them, but there could sometimes be Amazee Dayzees with them as well. Like most enemies, these ones sometimes hold an item with them. An Earth Quake is the most common one of these found on a Hyper Cleft.

"This is a Hyper Cleft. Hyper Clefts have more defense power than normal Clefts. Max HP: 4, Attack Power: 3, Defense Power: 3 They sometimes charge their power before attacking. That charged attack will take away 8 HP, so watch out when they start to glow. It'll miss you if you can become transparent. Their defense power will fall to 1 if you use an explosion to flip 'em over. And in case you hadn't noticed, they have spikes up top! It'll hurt if you jump on 'em."
