'''Slow Go''' is a [[badge]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. In ''Paper Mario'', it is found in a hidden room in [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]], near the [[Super Hammer]]. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', it can be bought from [[Charlieton]] for twelve [[coin]]s. If equipped, [[Mario]] becomes unable to run, forcing him to always walk until the badge is unequipped. This does not affect him while he is riding [[Yoshi Kid]] (except for the remake, which significantly slows both of them down if equipped).

Slow Go is a badge in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. In Paper Mario, it is found in a hidden room in Dry Dry Ruins, near the Super Hammer. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it can be bought from Charlieton for twelve coins. It can be sold for 5 coins. If equipped, Mario becomes unable to run, forcing him to always walk until the badge is unequipped. This does not affect him while he is riding Yoshi Kid (except for the remake, which significantly slows both of them down if equipped).

The Slow Go Badge does not seem to serve any purpose, but it can be used effectively in specific situations. In Paper Mario, Tubba Blubba's Castle contains several sleeping Clubbas, including a particular room with many more Clubbas than normally encountered; however, the Clubbas will not wake up if Mario walks by them instead of running. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a room in Sublevel Two of the Palace of Shadow contains Spike Traps that emerge from the ground suddenly, which must be dodged by moving slowly around them. Since walking is difficult to maintain under normal circumstances without slipping into a dash, the Slow Go Badge is ideal in these situations.

Merluvlee's prediction in Paper Mario

  • "I see...a Slow Go Badge. In the far depths of the ruins, there's a hidden room beyond where the Hammer lies. You climb up high, then land on the upper edge of the Hammer room. You walk carefully around to find the hidden chest."
