'''Gulp''' is a starter move mastered by [[Mini-Yoshi]] during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It uses up 4 [[Flower Point|FP]]. The player must press and hold down the {{button|gcn|R}} Button as Yoshi walks up to the selected enemy. When the gauge is full, the player should let go, and Yoshi will stop walking, hold the enemy in his mouth, and spit it into the ground-based foe that was closest to it, knocking one against another and dealing [[Piercing attack|Defense Power-piercing damage]] to both. If there are no grounded enemies accompanying the target, Yoshi will only damage the selected enemy. Yoshi can hold spiked enemies in his mouth without hurting himself, but not fiery ones.

'''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 the only known way to defeat the [[Iron Cleft]]s, which are invincible to any other attacks. Also, defeating the Iron Clefts is [[Mario]]'s first task requiring Yoshi.
==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>

Hacking the game has revealed that Gulp was [[List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|intended to have]] a number of different special outcomes, such as Yoshi eating the enemy outright (with a special animation for eating exploding enemies) instead of swallowing it, or spitting out a giant fireball that damages all enemies (presumably for use after eating a fire-type enemy). The effect where Yoshi swallows the enemy whole was not completely removed from the game, and can sometimes be seen when Yoshi uses Gulp on a [[Pokey]] or [[Poison Pokey]] that has already had all its segments removed. Under this circumstance, there is a 50% chance that Yoshi will spit the Pokey out as usual, and a 50% chance that he will swallow it whole as in the (usually) unused behavior.<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>
