| '''Magnus von Grapple''' (referred to as simply '''Magnus''' in battle and in the Tattle Log) is a robot operated by [[Lord Crump]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]]. It serves as the boss of Chapter 2. | | '''Magnus von Grapple''' (or '''Magnus''') is a mech suit operated by [[Lord Crump]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It serves as the boss of Chapter 2. |
| | |
| Magnus von Grapple is activated by Lord Crump in [[the Great Tree]] after he is cornered by [[Mario]], [[Party member#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|his partners]], and the [[Puni elder]], and forced to deactivate the time bomb which he had previously activated. After being defeated in battle by Mario and his party, Magnus von Grapple explodes, forcing Lord Crump and the [[X-Naut]]s whom he brought with him to retreat and allowing Mario to claim the [[Emerald Star]], which Crump had stolen. Later, when Mario and his partners arrive in the [[X-Naut Fortress]], Crump utilizes an upgraded version of the robot known as [[Magnus von Grapple 2.0]].
| |
| | |
| ==Battle==
| |
| Magnus von Grapple's first attack is "Magnus von Punish"; that is, walking up to the party, raising its foot and moving it back and forth over them as if choosing its target, then stomping down on a party member, which deals two points of base damage. It will use this attack on its first turn, and on its every subsequent turn afterwards until its [[HP]] reaches twenty.
| |
| | |
| After its HP reaches twenty, Magnus von Grapple uses its turn to separate its hands from the rest of its body, causing them to hover using thrusters in front of it in the form of two X-Fists, each of which, on their turns, flies into a party member in one of two possible trajectories, dealing four points of base damage. If both X-Fists are defeated, a new pair will return to Magnus von Grapple's arms at the beginning of its second turn afterwards, potentially allowing it to release them again immediately. Notably, the X-Fists are guaranteed to be removed from battle by [[Flurrie]]'s [[Gale Force]] with a perfect [[action command]].
| |
| | |
| While the X-Fists are independent enemies with 2 HP each, Magnus von Grapple can only attack by jumping in place and then rapidly stomping the ground repeatedly, shaking it and dealing two points of base piercing damage to both Mario and his partner (other than Flurrie, who is unaffected due to floating above the ground). In the original [[Nintendo GameCube]] version, the damage is dealt while Magnus von Grapple is stomping the ground; in the Nintendo Switch remake, Magnus von Grapple jumps in place one more time after stomping the ground, dealing the damage as it does so. Additionally, in the Japanese version of the Nintendo GameCube game, this attack cannot be [[Superguard]]ed.
| |
| | |
| After a new pair of X-Fists returns to Magnus von Grapple, it has, every turn until it releases them, a 60% chance to use Magnus von Punish and a 40% chance to release its X-Fists again.

|
| In this battle, the [[audience]] consists of [[Punies]] and [[X-Naut]]s, with the former initially taking up the left half of the seats, and the latter initially taking up the right half. | | In [[Mario]]'s hunt for the [[Crystal Stars]], the second star, the [[Emerald Star]], is hidden in [[the Great Tree]] of [[Boggly Woods]]. The [[X-Naut]]s, led by Lord Crump, are already there searching for the star when Mario and his [[Partner#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|partners]] arrive. Crump allows Mario to find the Crystal Star and then steals it from him after Mario discovers it at the bottom of the Tree with the help of the [[Puni]]es. Mario and his partners confront Crump, who activates a time bomb to destroy the Tree. Mario and his partners pursue him to the Tree's entrance, where Crump's escape route is blocked by the [[Puni elder]]. Upon noticing that Mario and his partners have caught up with him, Crump deactivates the time bomb, but he refuses to hand over the Emerald Star. Instead, he activates Magnus von Grapple and fights Mario and his party. In the battle with Magnus von Grapple, Mario's [[audience]] consists of Punies and the X-Nauts, with the former taking up the left half and the latter taking up the right half initially. Eventually, Mario prevails over the robot and claims the Crystal Star. The [[X-Naut PhD|X-Naut scientists]] later build a new robot named [[Magnus von Grapple 2.0]], which is much more powerful than its predecessor. |
