Spin Attack (Badge)

Spin Attack
Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door  BP 3 3 Price — —
Effect Spin Dashes defeat weak enemies.
Description(s) Lets Mario destroy a weaker enemy with a spinning move. (Paper Mario)

Spin Attack is a Badge in Paper Mario. When it is worn, Mario's Spin Dash is upgraded to instantly defeat contacted enemies that would only give one Star Point after battle. Enemies that are defeated through this method still drop items, such as coins and hearts, but no Star Points are rewarded.

This Badge does not work in conjunction with the First Attack and Bump Attack Badges, as they both allow Mario to defeat enemies by simply coming into contact with them, which includes Spin Dashing.

As Mario cannot Spin Dash in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, this badge was phased out.

Location

Spin Attack can be obtained in Dry Dry Desert by entering a whirlwind in the same area with some blue cacti; the whirlwind subsequently drops Mario off on top of a large stone with the Badge on top of it.

Merluvlee's prediction

• "I see...a Spin Attack Badge. In the lonely desert, you are blown by a whirlwind and land on a rock platform. The whirlwind by the blue cactus will take you there. The Badge awaits."
