Trivia

• Super Paper Mario eliminates the use of badges for there is no RPG style battling system. Although, there are two items that were previously badges in the past games: Power Plus and HP Plus, they retain their main purpose. Power Plus boosts the character's attack power by one and the HP Plus boosts the character's Heart Points by five. But with the badges they had to be equipped and could be unequipped. In the most recent game, once it is used, it's permanent.
