'''Flee''', or '''Run away'''<ref>''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' English instruction booklet, pg. 29</ref>, is an action used in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' [[Genre#Role Playing|role playing games]]. Flee allows the player to attempt to run away from battle, leaving the enemy behind. However, some enemies, or more specifically bosses, cannot be fled from. [[Mario]] will lose [[coin]]s when he flees (except in [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]], [[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]], and [[Mario and Luigi: Dream Team]]); however, in [[Paper Mario]] and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]], he can pick them right back up. Fleeing can be used by enemies too. Some enemies, such as the [[Crazee Dayzee]] and the [[Amazee Dayzee]] can flee from battle. [[Tubba Blubba's Heart]] will flee from battle when he has 5 [[Heart Point|HP]] or less left.

'''Flee''', also known as '''Run away'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' instruction booklet|page=29}}</ref> ('''Run Away''' in ''Paper Mario'' and ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''), and '''Run''' in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', is an action used in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' [[Genre#Role-playing|role-playing games]]. Flee allows the player to attempt to run away from battle, leaving the enemy behind. This action is unavailable on some enemies, or more specifically bosses, however. In some games, the player will lose [[coin]]s when they flee; however, they can pick them right back up in a few games. After the player flees, the enemy will freeze in place while flashing for a few seconds, making it so that the player cannot enter a battle with them for a moment. Fleeing can be used by enemies as well, mainly those who drop substantial [[coin]]s and [[Experience Point|experience points]] when defeated.

==History==
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', the player can flee by pushing {{button|snes|b}} and selecting the option in the menu. If successful, all party members will run off-screen away from the enemies, with the screen fading to black and transitioning back to the overworld. If not successful, the player will waste that character's turn. Enemies like [[Crook]]s and [[Sackit]]s can also flee from battle, most of the time before the player even gets a turn due to their high [[speed]]. The enemies in [[Bowser's Castle#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Bowser's Keep]], like [[Pro Goomba]]s, will also flee if [[Bowser]] is in the party at the time.


The item [[See Ya]], when used, will allow Mario and his allies to run away from any battle, with the exclusion of bosses and other important battles.
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', [[Megabite]]s can flee after when they attack about 7 times. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', some enemies that give the Bros. a lot of coins or [[Experience Point|EXP]], such as [[Pidgit]]s and [[Gold Koopeleon]]s, sometimes flee from battle. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Trashure]]s and [[Dark Trashure]]s occasionally flee from battles, and they will always flee if left open for a few turns. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', if the player doesn't defeat a [[Gold Beanie]] (with lacking success to counterattacks), he may flee from the battle. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', the [[Ant Trooper]]s, [[Urchin]]s and [[Sombrero Guy|Paper Sombrero Guy]]s are some of the enemies that can flee from the battle.
 
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the player can flee from battle by selecting the "Run Away" command from "Strategies" and rapidly mashing {{button|n64|a}} to fill up a bar, increasing the chance of [[Mario]] and his [[partner]] running away from battle. Once successful, Mario will return to the overworld, and coins will fly out of him and land on the ground, disappearing after a few seconds; Mario can pick these coins back up. If unsuccessful, Mario will trip, wasting his turn, and the enemies he is fighting will attack, regardless of whether his partner has attacked or not.
 
The "Run Away" command is disabled in mini-boss and boss battles; Mario must win those battles to progress.
 
Enemies who can flee from battle include:
*[[Bandit]]s, after stealing coins from Mario
*[[Tubba Blubba]], after Mario becomes [[invisible]] by [[Repel Gel]] or [[Lady Bow]]'s [[Outta Sight]] (only inside [[Tubba Blubba's Castle]])
*The [[Shy Squad]], with only a few members remaining (after at least two turns)
*[[Crazee Dayzee]]s, at low HP
*[[Amazy Dayzee]], almost always on its first turn
*All [[Magikoopa]]s, when alone (except the one Mario must fight after receiving a [[Lucky Star (Paper Mario)|Lucky Star]] from [[Twink]])

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', fleeing functions the same way as it did in the previous installment; by rapidly mashing {{button|gcn|a}}, Mario and his partner can run away from battle, losing coins once they return to the overworld. The returning Bandits and [[Big Bandit|their]] [[Badge Bandit|derivatives]] may flee after they steal something from Mario, and other enemies, such as Amazy Dayzees, can also flee from battle.
 
Like in the previous installment, Mario cannot flee from mini-boss and boss battles. Unlike the first ''Paper Mario'', a "Can't flee this fight!" message appears when Mario enters such battles to indicate that he must win those battles to progress.
 
When Mario is reduced to a shadow, he is required to flee when he enters a battle with [[Doopliss]] (who has taken Mario's appearance) after failing to guess the latter's real name (due to having removed [[The Letter "p"|the lower-case letter P]]), despite Doopliss ordering him not to run, because neither side can damage each other.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
Due to the game dropping the role-playing mechanics, fleeing is not readily present in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Though, during the battle with the [[Underchomp]]s, which plays out like an RPG, the player can flee from the battle, though it does not always work.
 
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', fleeing returns, and is almost identical to how it works in the first two ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' titles. However, Mario has a chance of tripping over while trying to flee, causing it to waste a turn. Mario can also flee from bosses, though this usually fails. Unlike previous games, Mario does not drop coins upon successfully fleeing, and the enemy he fled from disappears from the overworld.
 
====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', fleeing works similarly to how it did in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''. [[Sombrero Guy]]s have a high chance of fleeing from battle but can be defeated with powerful [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|cards]]. The [[Compass]] also allows Mario to flee any enemy battle. Mario cannot flee during battles where [[Kamek]] messes with Mario's cards, including during Kamek's boss battle in [[Sacred Forest]], unless all available cards are used in the fight.
 
====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', fleeing works the same as in the previous two ''Paper Mario'' games. The flee command is only available during the lineup phase of a battle. However, Mario cannot flee in the first three battles. Like in the first two ''Paper Mario'' games, he cannot flee from bosses.
 
===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:MLSS Fleeing.png|thumb|Mario fleeing from battle in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'']]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Mario and [[Luigi]] can flee battle by selecting the flee [[Command Block]]. When they do, they will start to run away from the enemies, losing coins in the process. When this happens, the player must rapidly mash {{button|gba|a}} and {{button|gba|b}} to make them run off-screen. Occasionally, they will trip and fall over, losing even more coins. When they successfully flee from battle, the game returns to the overworld. When a brother is [[downed|down]], the other brother will carry them on their shoulders when fleeing. Enemies like [[Gold Beanie]]s have a high chance of fleeing if not defeated quickly, [[Ice Snifit (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Ice Snifit]]s and [[Clumph]]s can flee if their parkas and wigs, respectively, are burnt off by Mario's [[Firebrand]] moves. Bosses like [[Popple]] and [[Jojora]] can also flee if [[Rookie|their]] [[Birdo|respective]] [[Jojora's Friend|partners]] are defeated before them.
 
In the remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', fleeing works exactly like it did in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' titles following ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', meaning the player does not lose coins when fleeing, and does not need to mash the respective buttons in order to flee.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', in addition to Mario and Luigi, [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] can also flee from battle. Fleeing itself works similarly to how it did previously, though now the player can cancel the action by pressing {{button|ds|l}}, though this wastes a turn. Enemies like [[Pidgit]]s with a sack and [[Gold Koopeleon]]s have a high chance of fleeing the battle. [[Dark Boo]]s will flee after stealing an item for the Bros. on the next turn if not defeated quickly.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', fleeing works the same way as it did in the previous two games, and since Bowser is a playable character, he can also flee from battle. While Mario and Luigi jump a bit towards the enemies before fleeing when they flee, the screen pans left when Bowser flees. [[Chuboomba]]s can flee from battle once Bowser [[Vacuum Block|inhales]] their lollipops, [[Trashure]]s and [[Dark Trashure]]s have a chance of fleeing once they open up and are not defeated quickly, [[Mechawful|Mechawful Heads]] may flee if not inhaled, and [[Dark Mechawful|Dark Mechawful Heads]] will flee if all enemies are defeated before they are inhaled.
 
In the remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', fleeing works similar to how it did in the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] ''Mario & Luigi'' games.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', fleeing works differently than it did previously, as Mario and Luigi now instantly run away from the enemies without penalty. A few enemies, like Gold Beanies if the player fails to [[counterattack]] them properly and Bandits after stealing coins from the brothers, both respectively flee the battle on the following turn.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', fleeing is similar to how it is done in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', with [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] being able to flee as well since he is a new playable character. Enemies like [[Ant Trooper]]s, [[Urchin]]s, and [[Sombrero Guy|Paper Sombrero Guy]]s can also flee from the battle.
 
==== ''Mario & Luigi: Brothership'' ====
''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'' brings back the option to run from the fight, just as in previous games. Some enemies also flee, such as the Seedlusa.
