The Battle Spinner in action.

The Battle Spinner (also known as Battle Spin) is a slot machine in Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

Similar to Bingo! in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Mario can to use the Battle Spinner in battle after spending three Coins. It allows him to use up to three stickers in one turn. When pressing X Button to begin, three icons appear on the screen. The player should press A Button to stop each icon at once. The amount of icons matched determines the number of Stickers that can be used at once. The icon images shown randomly are: Coin, Mushroom, Fire Flower, POW Block, Thunderbolt, and Poison Mushroom. When Mario is low on health, the mushroom and coins switch places on the battle spinner temporarily, making mushrooms easier to get. If you are not low on health, coins are the most common item on the spinner.


The player is also given the option to automatically match the first two icons, for the additional price of fifteen Coins. There is also a final option: the player may slow down the icons after paying thirty Coins. It should be noted that, the more that the player utilizes the Battle Spinner in the same battle, the more the Coin prices will increase.

If Mario matches at least two icons, he can use two stickers in one turn, but will not receive a bonus effect. However, if Mario matches all three icons, he can use three stickers in one turn and, additionally, receive a bonus effect based on the given icon.
