Electro Pop
An Electro Pop is a recipe and an item seen in the Paper Mario series. It is depicted as a lollipop with a swirl in electric colors.
History[edit]
Paper Mario[edit]
In Paper Mario, the Electro Pop is depicted as an orange lollipop with a yellow swirl. Tayce T. can make one with a Volt Shroom and a Cake Mix (which can be obtained in Shy Guy's Toy Box). It can be considered a helpful improvement on the Volt Shroom, and can be sold for 25 coins, which applies to all shops in the game.
The item's description states that it replenishes 15 FP and, if used in battle, also electrifies Mario. However, due to a bug, the item sets Mario's FP to a value equal to his current HP plus 15 (e.g. if Mario's HP is at 5 and FP is at 8, the Electro Pop will set Mario's FP to 20 (5 + 15), effectively restoring 12 FP); however, the FP regain animation will still show "15" regardless of the amount actually restored.[1][2]
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake, the Electro Pop is depicted as a black lollipop with an orange swirl. Zess T. can make one from a Volt Mushroom and a Cake Mix (which can be obtained from the Pianta Parlor). Mario and his partners can use this item both in and out of battle, replenishing 15 FP and electrifying the user, damaging those who make physical contact. Like in Paper Mario, this item can be sold for 25 coins, which applies for all shops in the game.
Super Paper Mario[edit]
In Super Paper Mario, Saffron can make an Electro Pop from a Thunder Rage. As FP does not appear in this game, it instead electrifies the user for 40 seconds, damaging those who make physical contact. It can be sold for 82 coins, which applies for all shops in the game.
