Editing Battle Master

The '''Battle Master''' or '''Battle Master Toad'''<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.nintendo.com/jp/software/feature/magazine_2024summer/index_en.html?page=5|page=9|title=Nintendo Magazine 2024 summer|format=Digital English edition|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=July 12, 2024|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20240712023245/https://www.nintendo.com/jp/software/feature/magazine_2024summer/index_en.html?page=5&device=pc}}</ref> is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] who appears in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]] of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He wears a purple {{wp|tangzhuang}} coat and guapi mao cap. He introduces himself after [[Professor Frankly]] instructs Mario and [[Goombella]] to go to Petal Meadows, and can be found in various locations throughout the world afterwards.

When Mario talks to the Battle Master, he is given two choices. One is to go into a practice battle against three [[Goomboard]]s, indestructible enemies that deal no damage, similar to the [[Action Command Dojo]] and [[Battle Lab]] from previous [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'']] games. Mario can either take turns practicing his attacks with no FP or SP cost, or have the Battle Master jump at him holding a Goomboard to practice his guards. During these battles, Mario is able to use any move for each badge in his possession, even if the corresponding badge is not equipped, and Attack FX badges along with [[W Emblem]] and [[L Emblem]] are disabled. This battle also has a unique theme, titled "Master of Action Commands," which is composed with Chinese instruments. The other option is to read various tips for battles, including explanations for the stage and action commands. For the duration of the time that Mario has lost his name, the Battle Master instead refers to Mario as "Nameless Frank".
