Thunder Rage
A Thunder Rage is an item in the Paper Mario series first appearing in Paper Mario. It deals five lightning-elemental damage to all enemies on-screen, and acts like a stronger version of Thunder Bolt, an item that hurts only one enemy. The Thunder Rage appears to be upside down, as opposed to its upright position in later Paper Mario games.
It reappears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The original description claims that this item has a small chance of stunning an enemy, but this is incorrect. However, it can give enemies the POW-Down status if the latter was hacked. However, if used on lightning related enemies such as Ruff Puffs, they will gain HP.
When used in Super Paper Mario, the player must first shake the Wii Remote to gain power. After that, lightning will strike on-screen enemies, dealing from a minimum of 3 damage to a maximum of 12 damage to them depending on how much the Wii Remote has been shaked.
In volume 26 of Super Mario-kun, a Yoshi in the Fearsome 5 uses a Thunder Rage to defeat a White Magikoopa.
