-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; however, softening an enemy with a defense boost negates both, prematurely ending the defense boost. 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.
