Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, they appear inside Riverside Station. They attack by ramming into Mario or the active partner.

They cannot be attacked directly while they are electrified. Additionally, they are the only type of Puff to not appear in the Pit of 100 Trials.
