Badge Bandit

A Badge Bandit is a purple-colored Bandit that can only be found in the Pit of 100 Trials during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Unlike other Bandits, these thieves can steal Badges, as well as items and coins. Stolen badges can be recovered by using Ms. Mowz's Kiss Thief move, or by beating the Badge Bandit - the badge will then reappear on the screen to be picked up. If a Badge Bandit manages to run away with a badge, the battle must be refought to reclaim the badge. Mario can use a Boo's Sheet, a Volt Shroom or equip the Zap Tap Badge to stop Badge Bandits from stealing his badges. The plumber can also protect himself by consistently guarding or superguarding the attacks of these Bandits. If the player does not reclaim the badge after battle, the lost badge will appear in The Lovely Howz of Badges when it can be purchased. Badge Bandits are unique in the fact that they can actually heal the player, and don't do damage when stealing a badge.
