Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (TTYD)

Danger Mario Details

Battle with 5 HP and Pinch Badges

A Danger Mario Build is where Mario fights constantly while activating the effects of the pinch badges that are only activated when his HP is 5 or below.

Pinch Badges Improve Offense and Defense on Low Health

The pinch badges are excellent in offense and defense, and if you equip multiple Power Rush badges which increases your attack power by 2, and perform an all-out attack, you can annihilate the enemy in one turn.

There are also badges such as Last Stand and Lucky Day that enhance durability, so even if your HP is 5, you won't be easily defeated.

Do Badges Stack?

Danger Mario Still Viable in Remake

You can play Danger Mario build in the remake as well. However, due to the price increase of the important badge Power Rush, it may take more time to prepare the environment.

Makes the Game Easier

Playing Danger Mario build will significantly reduce the difficulty of the game, and you may not be able to enjoy the game in its original way, such as cooperating with allies during battle or responding to enemies.

We recommend using it when you can't beat the boss or want to clear the story quickly.

It’s the badge POWER RUSH that increases Mario’s attack by 2 when he’s in Danger. Mega Rush increases his attack by 5 only when Mario is in Peril (1 hp left) There is only one Mega Rush badge in the game, but you can get multiple Power Rush when you have the Gold Member Card (acquired from Frankie’s trouble late in the game)
