'''Kiss Thief''' is a move that can be learned by [[Ms. Mowz]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It costs 2 [[Flower Point|FP]], and it allows her to steal any [[item]] or [[badge]] the enemy is holding. Of note is that when the move is used, members of the [[audience]] may still flee even if the [[Stylish move]] is performed.

Ms. Mowz will run up towards the enemy as a gauge fills up. The player must press the {{button|gcn|A}} button once it passed the 'OK' marker; if done correctly, she will steal the item or badge from the enemy's grasp. If the player cannot carry any more items or badges, Ms. Mowz will fail to steal the item/badge regardless of the player's success. If the enemy is not holding an item, then a [[coin]] will usually be stolen. However, if an enemy has a chance of dropping an item or badge after being defeated, then Ms. Mowz has a small chance as well of stealing that item/badge if the enemy is not visibly holding anything in-battle. Therefore, it is possible to steal rare badges by simply using Kiss Thief repeatedly.

Kiss Thief is one of Ms. Mowz's moves in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. At the cost of 2 FP, 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 Mowz will draw from the enemy's held item pool, generally resulting in about a 2%~ of getting a badge, 16%~ of getting an item, and 82%~ of getting a coin.[1] However to successfully perform the move, the player needs to press A Button button as the gauge gets filled past the 'OK' marker, but before it becomes full. Otherwise nothing will be stolen. Furthermore, if the enemy targeted by Mowz deals contact damage to her, she will also fail the move. Mowz will also fail to steal items or badges respectively, if Mario's corresponding inventory space for them is full.

The attack has one Stylish move that is performed by pressing A Button while Ms. Mowz is running toward the enemy. Unfortunately as the move is internally classified as an attack, yet cannot deal damage, this move can lead to losing audience members.
