'''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.

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 "Run Away" command is disabled in mini-boss and boss battles; Mario must win those battles to progress.

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.

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 ''[[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.
