Superguard

The Superguard is a move used in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is the more advanced version of a Guard. It stops any attack from doing any damage at all, and any direct-contact moves will be returned to the attacker causing the enemy one damage. On indirect-attacks, the Superguard will simply negate all damage, with the exception of a Pokey's body segment throw attack which will send the body segment back to the Pokey and cause the same amount of damage the attack would've done to Mario or his partner. It will also block any status effects from an enemy attack. X-Yux's immobilizing ability can only be blocked by a Superguard.

Despite being incredibly useful, is extremely hard to time, even harder than a Guard. A superguard can be done by pressing B right before contact (&#188; of a second). If done correctly, Mario or his partner will spin around and words will pop out next to him or her saying "Great!".

Trivia

 * The Superguard is very similiar to Super Paper Mario's Barry as both require timing (though Barrys doesn't have to be so precise) both deal damage to the opponent and protects the player from damage, and their animation is very similiar (spinning in place).
