Zap tap badge

Zap Tap is a badge only obtained from Merlow if Mario gives ten Star Pieces to him at Shooting Star Summit. The Zap Tap badge can be extremely useful in the game being able to deal a point of damage to all enemies that attack directly. Certain characters such as The Master who has combination attacks would have it interrupted thanks to the nature of the Zap Tap badge. This badge is also extremely effective against Fuzzies who can only attack by draining Mario's HP and the Zap Tap badge will prevent them from even latching onto Mario. However, this badge does have it's flaws as it doesn't work against every enemy. Any enemies with a shell such as Koopa Troopas and Buzzy Beetles are immune to the effects of the Zap Tap badge. Enemies that wield weapons or attack with objects from a distance such as Clubbas and Monty Moles are not affected by the Zap Tap's effects as well. Ruff Puffs are also immune to the Zap Tap badge being living thundercloud enemies.
