'''Showstopper''' is a special attack in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Unlike most attacks which deal a certain amount of [[Heart Point|HP]], this attack applies the "Instant KO" status effect, which has a random chance of immediately defeating each enemy in the battle. It is learned when [[Mario]] obtains the [[Garnet Star]] in [[Poshley Sanctum]] at the end of Chapter 6. The [[Action Command]] requires the player to press a random sequence of buttons that appear on the screen, in the order they appear. Getting the whole sequence correctly brings up another sequence with one additional button, up to a total of 5 sets of buttons. Once a player completes all five sequences, or they make a single error, they will stop and the attack will commence, its chance of success dictated by the number of sequences the player completed. This move uses 2 [[Star Power|SP]]. | '''Showstopper''' is a special attack in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

As a status effect-inflicting attack, every enemy has a different rate of success of being affected, which is then modified by the success of the action command. In general, weak enemies such as [[Goomba]]s are easy to defeat with the move even when the action command is not perfect (having a success rate of 150%), while stronger enemies (especially those in the deeper floors of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]) have success rates that vary between 80% and 20%, while the majority of bosses and minibosses cannot be affected at all - the main exceptions being all but the final boss of the [[Palace of Shadow]], each one having a success rate of either 5% or 1%. [[Crazee Dayzee]]s and [[Boo]]s (and their variants) also have a very strong resistance to the effect.<ref>http://ml.techyoshi.com/index.php/topic,149.msg2633.html#msg2633</ref> | As a status effect-inflicting attack, every enemy has a different rate of success of being affected, which is then modified by the success of the action command.

The move is very similar to [[Up & Away]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. | |||
