'''Gulp''' is a default move mastered by the [[Yoshi Kid]] during the events by ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It uses up 4 [[FP]]. The player must press and hold down the {{button|gcn|R}} button, then Yoshi will walk up to the enemy. When the gauge is full, the player should let go, and Yoshi will "gulp" down the enemy, smashing the enemy into another enemy. Interestingly, the Yoshi Kid can eat spiked enemies without hurting his mouth.

'''Gulp''' is one of the default moves available to the [[Yoshi Kid|Yoshi]] partner during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. For the cost of 4 [[Flower Point|FP]], Yoshi will swallow the frontmost grounded enemy, and spit it at the closest grounded enemy (if there is one), damaging both. In case of there not being any grounded foes behind the target, Gulp will still deal damage to the chosen enemy. To execute the [[Action Command]], the player must press and hold down the {{button|gcn|R}} Button until the gauge is full. Otherwise, the move will have no effect. Yoshi can target any frontmost grounded enemy with this move, but some bosses are too large for Yoshi to swallow. This attack [[piercing attack|pierces defense]], but the damage dealt to the second enemy (the one that is spat at) will not benefit from [[Charged|positive status effects]] [[Huge|that raise]] [[POW-Up|Attack power]]. Gulp also features one opportunity to perform a [[stylish move]] by pressing {{button|gcn|A}} after Yoshi spits out the enemy.


The move has a special property that lets it bypass the special defense of the [[Iron Cleft]]s. As this is the only move with this property, Yoshi is required to defeat them. Despite dialogue suggesting that the key to damaging the Iron Clefts is to find a way to make them damage each other, the [[Super Hammer]] and [[Ultra Hammer]]'s special moves fail to damage them.
The move is one known way to defeat the [[Iron Cleft]]s, which are invincible to any attacks. Also, defeating the Iron Clefts is Mario's first task requiring [[Yoshi Kid]].
==Unused behaviors==
Internal code shows that Gulp was [[list of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|intended to]] work differently, including different outcomes for certain enemies. For example, the default outcome was supposed to be Yoshi swallowing an enemy outright, defeating them instantly without spitting them at a different enemy. This way of defeating enemies also bypassed any internal checks, such as preventing enemies from using [[Life Mushroom (Paper Mario series)|Life Shroom]]s, and bosses from executing scripted events. This particular behavior can still be seen in the released game, exclusive to single-segment [[Pokey]]s or [[Poison Pokey]]s, with a 50% chance of happening. Other unused behaviors include a special animation for eating exploding enemies, and spitting out a giant fireball that damages all enemies in its path (presumably for use after eating a fiery enemy).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqthLjHA_Fo&ab_channel=jdaster64 Paper Mario: TTYD - (Mostly) Unused Gulp Behaviors] by jdaster64 on YouTube (Accessed on 11-28-2020)</ref>
