Mario hammering on a Goomba to strike first.

The First Strike is a technique used in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Goompa first mentions this to Mario as they walk through Goomba Village. To do a First Strike, Mario can simply Jump on the enemy or hit it with his Hammer, depending on whether or not the enemy has spikes. The First Strike helps Mario in battle, as it allows him to damage or drain all HP from an enemy before taking a turn.

The First Strike can also be used against Mario by enemies. For example, if a Koopa Troopa successfully attacks Mario with its shell, Mario will get hit by the First Strike and take damage. First Strikes from enemies can be avoided by dodging the attack or by using the Chill Out Badge.
