Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)

"Whatever...We've got cards, we've got paint...YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, MARIO!"

Battle Cards are important elements in Paper Mario: Color Splash. They serve as Mario's main method of attacking, and as such there are a wide variety of cards to attack with.

Background
There are three different kinds of battle cards:


 * Basic - These cards are meant for attacking enemies, healing and defending Mario, and refilling the paint hammer.
 * Enemy - These cards summon enemies that attack for Mario and take hits for him.
 * Thing - These are obtained by finding things in the world and squeezing them into cards. They can then be used to deal big damage to enemies, solve a puzzle outside of battle, and weaken the Koopaling bosses with specific thing cards.

Basic Cards
There are 60 basic cards in the game.

Other Stickers
These stickers are plot-related, and are only available in certain battles. These two stickers are not required for the Sticker Museum.

Things
Things are objects that can be found within the game. They are named such because, unlike most of the denizens in the game, the items are not actually made out of either paper or similar material such as cardboard. There are a total of 64 things throughout the game, each with a different purpose. Mario finds them as actual objects, and they cannot be used in this state. Although they aren't made out of paper, as noted before, they can be rendered into stickers by flinging them onto a special board. In addition, a specific Toad in Decalburg will sell things in a manner that is implied to be illegal. The player can then take the sticker and either paste it on the environment to cause events or use them in battle. A little-known feature of these stickers is that when used to battle, Mario can indeed execute Action Commands up to "Excellent" on most things by pressing or use the touch screen at a specific time. Mario can only carry one of each Thing at a time, whether in normal form or as a sticker. *Anything with a can only be accessed via a Secret Door.

Scraps
Scraps are pieces of the environment that can be removed and pasted into a certain location later on. They can either be obtained on their own or by peeling a certain piece of the environment off by paperizing, and can be placed back in their proper location with the same process. Removing something from the environment results in a void appearing in its place, which shows where the removed scrap or even another scrap is to go.
