Tidal Wave is a move in Paper Mario. This attack costs six Flower Points, and it can be used by Sushie upon reaching Ultra Rank. In this attack Sushie bounces across the screen hitting all enemies with water. Because this move is imbued with the water element, some enemies will take more or less damage from the attack depending on their weakness or resistance to water. The action command involves executing the most correct inputs (

) within a time limit. The inputs pop-up one after another whenever the latest one is successfully executed, and for every successful input the attack will do 1 more damage, up to 14. However, without cycle-mashing,[1] reaching anything close to 14 is unrealistic, and in practice the expected damage output of Tidal Wave is 6.

Trivia
- On the Nintendo 64, if more than 13 button inputs are pressed, the game crashes.[3] Furthermore, if this move is used in the encounter against Huff N. Puff while multiple Tuff Puffs are present, the game can be crashed with even fewer inputs.
- However, on the Virtual Console, the game does not crash but instead maxes out after 14 buttons are pressed, and the 15th button icon location overflows and gets stuck on the status bar. Other HUD issues are experienced as well.
- On the Wii Virtual Console version, when this move is used, the game slows down during the part in which the screen is covered in water by this move.
