Unique Moves for Battles

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Crystal Star Special

Special moves from Crystal Stars are useful moves that Mario can use in battle. These moves are extremely useful in that they can easily damage all enemies in the field, or heal and buff Mario and his partner.

These, however, can be less effective depending if you can input the proper commands for each move, and are held back by their Star Power costs.

Costs Star Power to Use

Each special move have their own Star Power costs. Initially, you only have a few Star Power points to work with which limits how often you can use these moves, but you will get more as you progress the game.

Appealing to the audience and inputting stylish moves whenever you use a move will replenish your Star Power.
