Mistake

Mistakes from both games.

A Mistake is an item found in the Paper Mario series. The item is created when Mario mixes incompatible ingredients. A Mistake heals a measly 1 HP and 1 FP. Of course, the goal of cooking is not to make something like this. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario, the Mistake counts towards finding all 58/96 recipes.

There are literally hundreds of combinations to receive a Mistake so make sure you know what your cooking. However, a Mistake is actually slightly superior to a Dried Shroom, since it restores 1 HP and 1 FP, compared to the Dried Shroom, which only restores 1 HP.

In Super Paper Mario there are two types of Mistakes-and one of them is actually useful. By having Saffron cook a Sleepy Sheep she will make another kind of Mistake that puts multiple enemies to sleep.

Trivia

• In Super Paper Mario, there is something similar to a Mistake called a Golden Meal.
