Return Postage is a badge in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is the reward found in a treasure chest after reaching the 100th floor of the Pit of 100 Trials and defeating Bonetail. If Mario equips it, enemies who come directly into contact with him while attacking are damaged by half of what they dealt to Mario. This applies to exactly what Mario received as damage, meaning that guarding can reduce the damage that the enemy takes. If the player sells Return Postage to the Lovely Howz of Badges for 500 coins and wishes to buy it back, it costs 999 coins, making it the most expensive item in the game. If Mario combines this badge with the use of the Payback ailment via Spite Pouch, all damage will be sent back to the attacker. However, if Mario has Return Postage and Zap Tap equipped, he will not be immune to enemies that drain HP or FP such as Swampires or Flower Fuzzies. Only one instance of this badge can be acquired.
It is possible to complete the Pit of 100 Trials and obtain the Return Postage badge before fighting Hooktail. However, the badge will have no effect on her. In the Nintendo Switch remake, Prince Mush is also immune to the effects of this badge, and a new line is added to its description to clarify that some enemies are unaffected by it.
