“Whatever...We've got cards, we've got paint...YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, MARIO!”

—Huey, Paper Mario: Color Splash

Battle Cards are important elements in Paper Mario: Color Splash. They succeed stickers from the game's predecessor and serve as Mario's main method of attacking. As such, there are a wide variety of cards that appear in the game, and can be found in blocks, or purchased from Prisma Cardware.

Variations

The card slot used in battles

There are three different kinds of battle cards:

• Basic - These cards are meant for attacking enemies, healing and defending Mario, and refilling the paint hammer.
• Enemy - These cards summon enemies that attack for Mario and take hits for him.
• Thing - These are obtained by finding Things in the world and squeezing them into cards. They can then be used to deal big damage to enemies, solve a puzzle outside of battle, and weaken the Koopaling bosses with specific Thing Cards.

Basic Cards

There are 60 Basic Cards in the game pertaining to four categories: Worn-Out Basic Cards have a colored border with fine colored stripes on a white background, Normal Basic Cards have a checkered background with colored squares on a white background, Big Basic Cards have a checkered background with bigger colored squares on a background of a lighter color, and Mega or Huge Basic Cards have a striped radial background in which a striped colored slice is alternated with a striped slice of a lighter color, the stripes themselves alternating a stripe of a lighter color with a stripe of a more saturated color. There are also cards that allow to obtain the same effect up to five times, depending on the number of items in the card.
