The status ailment returns in this game and serves much the same purpose (specifically, lowering defences by 3 points), however if it known as the "'''Soft'''" status. It is indicated by a gray diamond with an arrow pointing down. Using a [[Mr. Softener]] can give this status effect to enemies, however, the enemies can also do the same to [[Mario]]. Softening an enemy with a defense boost simply negates the defense boost.

{{ML:SS}}
The status ailment appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where it is known as the "'''Soft'''" status. It is indicated by a gray diamond with an arrow pointing down. Softness lowers defense by 3 points, to a minimum of 0; softening an enemy with a defense boost replaces its effect with Soft's defense drop. The Soft status is induced by items such as a [[Mr. Softener]] or badge attacks such as the [[Soft Stomp]]. There are no enemies in this game who can inflict it without items.
