The Master



The Master is a powerful martial artist and the resident teacher of the Toad Town Dojo. He appears in the game Paper Mario. If Mario defeat his students Lee and Chan, the mighty plumber will have the opportunity to challenge the Master himself in battle. In fact, Mario can fight the Master three times. However, each time Mario wins a battle, the next fight with the Master will become exponentially harder. With experience and skill (and maybe a few tricks), Mario can defeat the Masterâ€™s third and most powerful form and earn the Diploma.

In his final form, the Master is acually stronger than the final boss, Bowser (in his powered-up state). While both have 99 HP, the Master has more attacks than Bowser. Much like Bonetail in the sequel, The Master is the strongest opponent in the game, and also like Bonetail is completly optional.

The Master is similar in many ways to the character Jinx from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Both Jinx and the Master are expert martial artists who train disciples in schools. Additionally, Mario has to fight both Jinx and the Master three times each, with every battle getting progressively harder in each case.
