'''Deep Focus''' is a [[Badge]] available in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It is found in [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]], inside a hidden [[? Block]] to the left of the red station, [[Peach's Castle]], in the room behind the far-right door on the second floor (it can be sent to [[Mario]] by [[Princess Peach|Peach]] via the [[Mysterious Treasure Chest]] found in the same room), and [[Bowser's Castle#Paper Mario|Bowser's Castle]], on a platform at the entrance only obtainable after the lava surrounding it is stopped. If Mario equips this Badge, more of his [[Star Power]] is refilled when using the [[Focus]] move. This does not affect his partners using the move if [[Group Focus]] is equipped.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], Deep Focus is replaced by [[Super Appeal]], a badge that increases the Star Power Mario gains from the audience by using the [[Appeal]] move. Super Appeal also has a companion badge called [[Super Appeal P]] which, unlike both Deep Focus and Super Appeal, does affect partners' ability to replenish Star Power.

==[[Merluvlee]]'s predictions in ''Paper Mario''==
*"''I see...a Deep Focus Badge. It is in the Toy Box, in a room with a Ferris wheel and many platforms that move up and down. You smash an invisible block between the two Blocks in front of the 3 and 4 toy blocks to find it.''"
*"''I see...a Deep Focus Badge. It is outside Bowser's Castle, near the outer wall. There is a cliff you normally cannot reach, but... You somehow cool off the lava stream so you can walk there. The Badge is in the red block.''"
*"''I see...a Deep Focus Badge. It's near a big, beautiful treasure chest in Princess Peach's Castle, way up in the sky. The Badge is lying in front of a fallen chair near the chest.''"

==Trivia==
[[File:Super Prayer PM unused.png|frame]]
*The Deep Focus Badge found in Bowser's Castle uses the sprite of an [[list of Paper Mario pre-release and unused content#Unused Badges|unused Badge]], which was supposed to be a more powerful version of Deep Focus. Once collected, it reverts into the normal Deep Focus sprite in the Badge menu.
