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. 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 hard-earned badges. The plumber can also protect himself by consistently guarding or superguarding the attacks of these Bandits. If the player accidentally beats all the enemies without re-engaging battle to make it re-appear, the lost badge will re-appear in The Lovely Howz of Badges to purchase again.
