Love Slap is a move used by Ms. Mowz during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This attack is one of her initial moves, and the only one of her full moveset that deals damage. It doesn't cost any FP. To perform it, the player has to repeatedly tilt the Control Stick (Control Stick) left and right to fill the gauge. After the short allotted time is up, Ms. Mowz will slap the enemy three times, dealing Defense Power-piercing damage. She is unable to use this move on flying, spiked, and fiery enemies.

It deals low 2-4 damage, so the best strategy is to use it on high-Defense enemies, or to equip Attack-raising badges. When Ms. Mowz executes this move, the Audience can be heard booing, indicating that they don't like this move (probably because the first two strikes don't do any damage). This is further proven when some audience members leave because of the attack. Also, the Stylish move, which is performed by pressing A Button on the way back after the attack, does not give much extra Star Power.
