Yoshi's Island
Bandit, along with Shy Guy, were two of the most common enemies in Yoshi's Island, though in the minigames, Yoshi would face of against Bandit to win items. If the player uses the minigame code, the second player can use the second controller to play as Bandit.

Paper Mario Stats and Tattle Information
HP: 5, Attack: 2, Defense: 0

This is a Bandit. Bandits bump into you hard and shake up your pockets. They can steal up to 10 coins. They'll slyly approach and then slam into you all of the sudden. If you can damage them in an attack, you can get your stolen coins back. Let's beat 'em before they can make off with our loot!

Regular Bandit
HP: 5, Attack: 2, Defense: 0

That's a Bandit. This scumbag tries to bump you and grab coins. Jerk! If you time your guard well when he attacks, he won't be able to steal anything. Plus, the look on a Bandit's face when you guard successfully is priceless. If a Bandit steals coins from you, defeat him before he flees to get your coins back.

Big Bandit
HP: 8, Attack: 3, Defense: 0

That's a Big Bandit. Basically, a boss among ordinary Bandits. Unlike other Bandits, he'll steal your items as well as your coins. Totally weak! If you guard well when he charges at you, he'll blow by without stealing anything. If he robs you, you won't get your item back unless you beat him right then. He'll run!

Badge Bandit
HP: 12, Attack: 5, Defense: 0

That's a Badge Bandit. He's a Bandit who'll go after your badges. That jerk! He has high attack power and HP. He sometimes steals a badge when he tackles you, so use your guard carefully. And even if he gets one, keep your cool, okay? If he runs from the battle, you can always find him and reengage him.
