'''Zap Tap''' is a [[badge]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. In ''Paper Mario'', it can be bought from [[Merlow]] for 10 [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Pieces]], and in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', it is the reward for reaching the thirtieth level of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]], found in a [[treasure chest]]. If equipped by [[Mario]], it [[Electrified|electrifies]] him, causing any enemy that makes direct contact with him to take a small amount of damage. This applies to any physical attacks that an enemy may perform (excluding contact outside of battle), though it does not apply when Mario attacks. The contact damage also ignores the enemy's defense stat. It does not affect the enemy's attack, although it will prevent [[Bandit]]s from stealing anything, and [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] and [[Swoopula]]s deal no damage at all. It also interrupts attacks that hit multiple times, such as from the [[Shy Squad]] or [[The Master]]. In addition, although not mentioned in-game, if Mario is electrified he can jump on an electrified enemy (mostly [[Dark Puff|Dark]] or [[Ruff Puff]]s and [[Huff N. Puff]]) without taking damage.

Zap Tap is a badge in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. In Paper Mario, it can be bought from Merlow for 10 Star Pieces, and in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it is the reward for reaching the thirtieth level of the Pit of 100 Trials, found in a treasure chest. If equipped by Mario, it electrifies him, causing any enemy that makes direct contact with him to take a small amount of damage. This applies to any physical attacks that an enemy may perform (excluding contact outside of battle), though it does not apply when Mario attacks. The contact damage also ignores the enemy's defense stat. It does not affect the enemy's attack, although it will prevent Bandits from stealing anything, and Fuzzies and Swoopulas deal no damage at all. It also interrupts attacks that hit multiple times, such as from the Shy Squad or The Master. In addition, although not mentioned in-game, if Mario is electrified he can jump on an electrified enemy (mostly Dark or Ruff Puffs and Huff N. Puff) without taking damage. In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Zap Tap is unaffected by the Feeling Fine badge.

Goomba if it attacks Mario while wearing the Zap Tap in Paper Mario

In the original game, Goomba, Paragoomba, and Spiked Goomba have unique "shocked" sprites showing their skeleton if affected by this badge; it does not occur with any other electrical attack or enemy.
