Shiny

Shiny is a variation of stickers and enemies found in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. It is possible to tell if a sticker found in the overworld is shiny if there is a slight checkered pattern on it and it sparkles every few seconds, while shiny enemies sparkle all the time and have a noticeable sheen. Shiny stickers in the Album can be identified by their shimmering silver background. Shiny enemies and stickers are stronger than normal stickers and enemies.

Shiny enemies are stronger, attack faster, and take half the damage they should take from stickers (except Things). Shiny enemies include:


 * Shiny Goomba
 * Shiny Koopa Troopa
 * Shiny Paragoomba
 * Shiny Paratroopa
 * Shiny-Cone Goomba
 * Shiny Buzzy Beetle
 * Shiny Bob-omb

All stickers except the Clone Jump, Infinijump, Burnhammer, Chillhammer, Baahammer, Poison Mushroom, Secret Door and stickers dropped by specific enemies (Barrels, Throwing Stars etc.) have a Shiny variation. In addition, there is a stronger, rarer sticker variation known as Flashy stickers.

Trivia

 * Rarely, a red Koopa Troopa may drop a Shiny Shell sticker.
 * Nearly every sticker in all of World 4 (including the ones dropped by enemies) are either Shiny or Flashy.
