Stylish move
From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Stylish Moves are extra action commands in ‘’Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door’’ that accompany every attack move in the game. It is up to Mario and his party to use these moves by themselves. When stylish moves are executed, the crowd in front of the battle stage becomes even more wild, giving more star power than an action command for special moves.
To do a stylish move, press A at a certain time during an attack. Buying the Timing Tutor badge from Charlieton in Rogueport reveals a ! when you should press A, and is the only normal way to learn all the stylish moves.
