Tease is a move that can be performed by Ms. Mowz in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door at the cost 3 FP upon reaching Super Rank. It involves Ms. Mowz and three clones of herself jumping around, attempting to dizzy the enemies based on the individual enemies' resistance and the Action Command success. To execute the Action Command the player must hold A Button to fill an on-screen gauge as much as possible within a time limit, without overfilling it; if overfilled, the player will lose control over the gauge and it will gradually empty. When the time ends, if the gauge is filled past two thirds then the odds of inflicting the dizzy status on each enemy will be equal to the enemy's base susceptibility; if the gauge is filled for less than two thirds, the chance of inflicting dizziness will be decreased.

The player can input A Button as Ms. Mowz lands a backflip after finishing the move to perform a Stylish move. The stylish has an increased Star Power modifier in the Japanese version.
