Kiss Thief is one of Ms. Mowz's moves in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. At the cost of 2 FP, Ms. Mowz will dash at the frontmost enemy and attempt to steal something from it. If the enemy holds an item or badge, it will be guaranteed to be stolen. Otherwise, Ms. Mowz will draw from the enemy's held item pool, generally resulting in a roughly 2% chance of getting a badge, 16% chance of getting an item, or 82% of getting a coin.[1] However, to successfully perform the move, the player needs to press A Button when the on-screen gauge has filled itself past the "OK" marker but before it becomes full, otherwise nothing will be stolen. Furthermore, the move will also fail if the enemy targeted by Ms. Mowz deals contact damage to her. Ms. Mowz will also fail to steal an item or badge if Mario's corresponding inventory is full.

The attack has one Stylish move that is performed by pressing A Button while Ms. Mowz is running toward the enemy. However, as the move is internally classified as an attack, yet cannot deal damage, this move can lead to losing audience members. Furthermore, in the Japanese release of the game, Kiss Thief does not recover any Star Power and has no Stylish move.[2]
