The '''Boots''', sometimes referred to as '''Jump''', are [[Mario]]'s normal footwear in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' and the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, and are usually present alongside the [[Hammer]] as a standard form of attack. Eventually, better versions of the boots can be found either in shops or the field. Usually, jump attacks are ineffective against spiked enemies.

==History==
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:PM Normal Boots Sprite.png|thumb|right]]
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Mario starts the game with his standard boots equipped. When using a [[Jump]] attack, the boots deal one damage to a defenseless enemy, although having different Badges equipped can increase the damage dealt. Later on, the [[Super Boots]] and [[Ultra Boots]] can be found in [[Boo's Mansion]] and [[Toad Town Tunnels]], respectively. These serve as direct upgrades, and enhance Mario's abilities.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:Boots TTYD.png|thumb|right]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Mario's Boots behave similarly to the previous game. The [[Super Boots]] and [[Ultra Boots]] return, and can be found in [[The Great Tree]] and [[Riverside Station]] respectively.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
[[File:JumpSticker.png|thumb|left]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', Boots are used as a form of attack via application of Jump [[sticker]]s. The standard Jump sticker is most prominent in [[Decalburg]] and [[World 1 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 1]]. Having a one-star attack power, it is second-weakest in the Jump sticker family, outclassing only the [[Worn-Out Jump]]. Stronger variants include the [[Shiny Jump]], [[Flashy Jump]], [[Big Shiny Jump]], and [[Megaflash Jump]]. It can be set in the [[Sticker Museum]] as No. 02.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', the Boots return with their functionality from ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', as Jump [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Battle Card]]s. They can be found primarily throughout [[Port Prisma]], or purchased from shops for 5 coins. Alternatively, pre-painted cards sell for 20 coins. Jump Cards have stronger forms, including [[Jump x2]], [[Jump x3]], [[Big Jump]], [[Big Jump x2]], and [[Huge Jump]].

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:Boots PMTOK icon.png|thumb|50px]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', Mario's Boots are once again a permanent attack option; he can also find or buy [[Shiny Boots|Shiny]], [[Flashy Boots|Flashy]], [[Legendary Boots|Legendary]], or [[Gold Boots|Gold]] versions of his Boots (the last of which grants Mario extra coins) and [[Iron Boots|Iron versions]] of his normal Boots as well as the first three variations (which let him stomp spiked enemies), which are stronger, but break after a certain number of uses. Additionally, the damage dealt by the standard boots increases as Mario collects more [[MAX UP Heart]]s.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
{{stub|section=y}}
[[File:MLRPG3 C Boot.png|frame]]
In the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, boots are one of the types of [[Clothing|gear]] the Bros. can equip. Boots as a category of gear are introduced in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', recurring in the remake ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. Boots often increase the power of [[jump]] attacks. While these games have jumping attacks, they are not tied to selecting the boots in battle.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====

Boots are introduced as a type of gear in this game.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' revamps the gear system. In this game, Mario and Luigi always have a set of boots equipped in a dedicated slot. At the start of the game, these are the [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team#Run-Down Boots|Run-Down Boots]]. Boots increase the character's [[Power]] when using the standard Jump attack, as well as any [[Bros. Attack]]s and [[Luiginary Attack]]s that deal damage using the boots. Special attacks that are jumps are included, but boots are used in the [[3D Green Shell]] and [[3D Red Shell]] attacks. ([[Luiginary Ball]] uses the boots, but that is also a Jump.) 

The player can find, receive, or purchase other boots to use, such as the [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team#Knockout Boots|Knockout Boots]] and the [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team#Bare Boots|Bare Boots]]. These have increased Power, and can confer additional benefits to attacks that use the boots. Later in the game, the player can obtain DX variations on older Boots with increased stats.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', one Accessory is the [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions gear#Jumping Boots|Jumping Boots]]. It allows the wearer to jump normally when enemies are attacking, even while under the [[Light G]] status, the [[Heavy G]] status, or when carrying the other character while they are defeated.
