Piercing Blow, formerly known as D-Down Pound, is a badge in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is a counterpart to D-Down Jump. When equipped, the badge grants Mario a hammer move that costs 2 Flower Points and bypasses the enemy's defense.

In Paper Mario, wearing Piercing Blow uses 2 Badge Points; in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it only uses 1.

Although multiple Piercing Blow badges can be obtained in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, equipping more than one has no effect.

Locations

In Paper Mario, D-Down Pound can be bought from Rowf's Badge Shop after Chapter 1 for 75 coins. It uses 2 BP.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Piercing Blow can be bought from the Lovely Howz of Badges for 75 coins. There is a 1 in 150 chance for this badge to drop after winning a battle against Spiky Parabuzzies.
