Editing Downed

'''Downed''', also known as '''down'''<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott; Miller, Kent|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English|page=9}}</ref>, '''fainted''', '''fallen''', or '''KO'd''' (which stands for "'''Knocked Out'''") is a status effect in most [[Genre#Role-playing|role-playing games]], including those of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] franchise. When a character's [[Heart Point|HP]] reaches zero, they fall in battle, then lay motionless on the ground. A downed party member cannot attack or use any commands, unless they are revived, either via revival items or techniques. After a battle is won or [[Flee|fled]], any downed party members are restored to 1 HP, with the exception of the Nintendo GameCube version of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where their HP remains zero and they must be revived with an item or [[Heart (item)|hearts]] dropped by defeated enemies in the overworld. Many post-boss battle cutscenes will also restore party members to full HP after the boss is defeated. If all available party members are downed in battle, the player will [[Game Over|lose the battle]].

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', downed party members are effectively out of the battle unless they are revived, either via a [[Pick Me Up]] or [[Princess Peach]]'s [[Come Back]] technique. If all party members are downed in battle, the player will lose the battle, then a [[Game Over]] will be triggered. The [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]] introduces the [[Triple Move]] [[Healing Rainbow]], which revives downed party members in addition to fully healing the party. Additionally, if all three party members go down in battle, any surviving party members on stand-by will automatically swap them out. A Game Over will then only occur if all party members, active or otherwise, are down.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', if a [[partner]]'s HP reaches zero with no [[Life Mushroom (Paper Mario series)|Life Mushroom]]s, they fall in battle. They cannot act in battle or be revived for the rest of the battle and must be switched out. In the original game, a downed partner's HP is not recovered to 1 HP after a battle is won (after a different victory fanfare), excluding all bosses except [[Shadow Queen]], when all partners are restored to full HP after falling in battle. In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], any partner can react to Mario when he is KO'd without any Life Mushrooms.

In the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, when either Mario or Luigi's HP reaches zero, he falls unconscious and then is no longer able to battle or gain [[Experience Point|experience points]] until he is revived via a [[1-Up Mushroom]] or [[1-Up DX]]. If all available characters are defeated in battle, the player will lose the battle, then receive a Game Over.

While a brother is defeated and the enemy turn ends, the other briefly panics while looking at his KO'd brother, then, on the enemy's turn, he will carry him on his shoulders, slowing him down and making it harder to dodge or [[counterattack]], and he will not be able to perform any [[Bros. Attack]]s. When [[Flee|running away]] from battle, the still-standing brother will carry the defeated on his back as he runs away, but he will never trip and drop more [[coin]]s.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Nintendo 3DS remake]], due to Bowser fighting alone with Mario and Luigi inside his body, he cannot be revived and thus his HP reaching zero results in a Game Over; in the case of Mario and Luigi losing all HP while fighting enemies inhaled by Bowser, a Game Over occurs instead of the battle continuing with the latter. In the original game, the player can use [[Retry Clock]]s when losing the battle. However, in the remake, the player can always retry the battle. Daredevil Boots can instantly KO Mario or Luigi, regardless of HP stats.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', falling in battle will cause the side of the [[Badge]] Meter that corresponds with the fallen Bro. to instantly be depleted, akin to if that Bro. got a Great! or worse in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' if Luigi has his Excellent!! badge equipped. Losing the battle allows retries, except [[Hard Mode]]. In the [[Dream World]], while Mario fights alongside [[Dreamy Luigi]], Dreamy Luigi is not a party member in the sense of being able to take damage. If Mario is KO'd in the Dream World, he loses the battle. Hero Wear and Legendary Wear can instantly KO Mario or Luigi when the turn limit is reached, regardless of HP stats.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Mario and Luigi will not carry [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]], and vice versa, if they are defeated, unless they flee. [[Trio Attack]]s are also disabled if one character is defeated, as they required all three characters to use. Additionally, a new item called the [[Double 1-Up Mushroom]] is introduced, which revives two fallen characters at once. Like ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', losing the battle also allows retries.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', Attack Combos are disabled when Mario or Luigi is KO'd. If Mario or Luigi is KO'd while the other is knocked away by Bowser or [[Glohm]]ed and under [[Zokket]]'s control, a Game Over occurs. In the [[Great Conductor]]'s boss battle, the thunderbolt can instantly KO the Bros., regardless of HP stats. In [[Reclusa]]'s boss battle, he petrifies one of the Bros., forcing the still-active one to carry him. If one brother is KO'd, Reclusa will skip this and go right into the attack. After the attack finishes, the petrified brother will return to normal. Luigi cannot use [[Luigi Logic]] when Mario is KO'd. If a non-infected brother is KO'd and the brother standing is Glohmed, he does not carry the KO'd brother during enemy attacks. If the player loses the battle multiple times, they can choose either [[Easy Mode]] or Cakewalk to retry, which makes the fight even easier. Additionally, a [[Battle Plug]] called the Auto 1-Up is introduced, which revives Mario or Luigi when he is KO'd.

In the ''[[Mario + Rabbids (series)|Mario + Rabbids]]'' series, when either Hero's HP reaches zero, they fall unconscious with a dizzy effect and then are no longer able to battle. If all available Heroes are downed in battle, the player will lose the battle. In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', the [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Spark]] [[Pulser]] can use [[Revive]] on downed Heroes within range.
