'''Kiss Thief''' is a default move that can be mastered by [[Ms. Mowz]] during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The move allows her to steal any [[item]] or [[badge]] the enemy is holding. The move is executed by pressing the {{button|gcn|A}} button. Once it is pressed, Ms. Mowz will run up to the enemy. The player will then have to press the {{button|gcn|A}} button again when she is extremely close to the enemy, and if done correctly, she will steal the item from the enemy's grasp. If the player cannot carry anymore items/badges, Ms. Mowz will fail to capture the item/badge regardless of the player pressing the {{button|gcn|A}} button in the 'OK' range.
'''Kiss Thief''' is one of [[Ms. Mowz]]'s moves in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. At the cost of 2 [[Flower Point|FP]], Ms. Mowz will dash at the frontmost enemy and attempt to steal something from it. If the enemy holds an item or [[badge]], it will be guaranteed to be stolen. Otherwise, Ms. Mowz will draw from the enemy's held item pool, generally resulting in a roughly 2% chance of getting a badge, 16% chance of getting an item, or 82% of getting a coin.<ref>Jdaster64.

Furthermore, the move will also fail if the enemy targeted by Ms. Mowz deals contact damage to her. Ms. Mowz will also fail to steal an item or badge if Mario's corresponding inventory is full.


If the enemy is not holding an item, then a [[coin]] will usually be stolen. However, if an enemy has a chance of holding a badge or item, then Ms. Mowz has a small chance of stealing that badge or item if the enemy is not holding anything. Therefore, it is possible to steal rare badges by simply using Kiss Thief repeatedly on the enemies that sometimes carry them.
The attack has one [[Stylish move]] that is performed by pressing {{button|gcn|A}} while Ms. Mowz is running toward the enemy.

The [[Stylish Move]] of this attack is performed by pressing {{button|gcn|A}} while Ms.Mowz is running toward the enemy. If pressed, Ms.Mowz will hop in her way. Regardless of either the Stylish move is performed or not, members of [[audience]] may still flee.

Kiss Thief is one of Ms. Mowz's moves in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. At the cost of 2 FP, Ms. Mowz will dash at the frontmost enemy and attempt to steal something from it. If the enemy holds an item or badge, it will be guaranteed to be stolen. Otherwise, Ms. Mowz will draw from the enemy's held item pool, generally resulting in a roughly 2% chance of getting a badge, 16% chance of getting an item, or 82% of getting a coin.[1] However, to successfully perform the move, the player needs to press A Button when the on-screen gauge has filled itself past the "OK" marker but before it becomes full, otherwise nothing will be stolen. Furthermore, the move will also fail if the enemy targeted by Ms. Mowz deals contact damage to her. Ms. Mowz will also fail to steal an item or badge if Mario's corresponding inventory is full.

The attack has one Stylish move that is performed by pressing A Button while Ms. Mowz is running toward the enemy. However, as the move is internally classified as an attack, yet cannot deal damage, this move can lead to losing audience members. Furthermore, in the Japanese release of the game, Kiss Thief does not recover any Star Power and has no Stylish move.[2]
