- “Whatever...We've got cards, we've got paint...YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, MARIO!”
- —Huey, Paper Mario: Color Splash
Battle Cards are important elements in Paper Mario: Color Splash. They succeeded Stickers from the game's predecessor and serve as Mario's main method of attacking, and as such there are a wide variety of cards to attack with.
Variations
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 and four categories: Worn-Out Basic Cards have a striped background with fine colored stripes on a white background, Normal Basic Cards have a checkered background with colored squares on a white background, Big Basic Cards have a checkered background with bigger colored squares on a background of a lighter color, Mega or Huge Basic Cards have a striped radial background in which a striped colored slice is alternated with a striped slice of a lighter color, the stripes themselves alternating a stripe of a lighter color with a stripe of a more saturated color. There are also cards that allow to obtain the same effect up to five times, depending on the number of items in the card.
