Tidal Wave

Tidal Wave is a move used by Sushie in Paper Mario. This attack costs Mario six Flower Points and can be used once Sushie is Ultra Rank. It is an all-range attack in which Sushie bounces across the screen in many directions, hitting all enemies with water. Fire enemies are more susceptible to this attack and take greater damage from it. The action command involves pressing either A, B, or C-Down when shown on the screen as many times as possible within a time limit; failing to press any buttons results in no damage. It is effective against Lava Piranha when he and his Lava Buds are cloaked in flames during the second half of the battle.

Trivia

 * On the Nintendo 64, if more than 13 button inputs are pressed, the game crashes.
 * However, on the Virtual Console, the game doesn't crash but instead maxes out after 14 buttons are pressed, and the 15th button icon location overflows and gets stuck on the status bar. Other HUD issues are experienced as well.
 * On the Wii Virtual Console version, when this move is used, the game slows down during the part in which the screen is covered in water by this move.
