'''Tidal Wave''' is one of [[Sushie|Sushie's]] attacks in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It is an all-range attack, during which she shoots across the screen every which way, hitting all enemies with water. Fire enemies take greater damage. All the player has to do to get the best effect is press A, B, and C-Down as shown on the screen. Tidal Wave is an [[Ultra Rank]] attack and costs six [[Flower Point]]s to use. It is an effective attack during the second half of the battle with [[Lava Piranha]] when he and his [[Lava Bud|Lava Buds]] are cloaked in flames.

Sushie using Tidal Wave on Lava Piranha.

Tidal Wave is a move in Paper Mario. This attack costs six Flower Points, and it can be used by Sushie upon reaching Ultra Rank. In this attack Sushie bounces across the screen hitting all enemies with water. Because this move is imbued with the water element, some enemies will take more or less damage from the attack depending on their weakness or resistance to water. The action command involves executing the most correct inputs (A Button, B Button, Down C Button) within a time limit. The inputs pop-up one after another whenever the latest one is successfully executed, and for every successful input the attack will do 1 more damage, up to 14. However, without cycle-mashing,[1] reaching anything close to 14 is unrealistic, and in practice the expected damage output of Tidal Wave is 6.
