Gale Force is an offensive move available to Flurrie as soon as she joins the party in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. At the cost of 4 FP, Flurrie produces a strong wind and attempts to banish enemies out of the battlefield, instantly defeating them.
To improve the success rate of the move, the player has to hold and release 
according to the rhythm shown on screen. Pressing while the button is shown to be pushed will fill the gauge, but pressing it while the button is shown to be released will instead decrease the gauge. If the gauge is filled to its last segment, the move will use its default success rate, and if it is filled any less, the success rate will be decreased.
However, the success rate of the move is also determined by the particular enemy, and Mario's Level. Every enemy has a particular susceptibility to Gale Force. For example, a Pider has a default susceptibility of 70%. This susceptibility is further modified by the relation of Mario's level to the enemy's. The default susceptibility assumes Mario's level is equal to the Pider's (which is level 12). But for every level Mario has over an enemy, Gale Force's success rate grows by 1%, and similarly, for every level by which Mario is lower than the enemy, Gale Force's success rate will decrease by 1%. As such, if Mario encounters a Pider at level 2 (10 below the Pider's), Gale Force will have a 60% success rate instead of 70%, and if Mario encounters a Pider at level 22 (10 above the Pider's), Gale Force will have a 80% success rate instead of 70%. Furthermore, the Action Command will set a modifier to this success rate. Note that enemies immune to Gale Force (whose base susceptibility is 0%) will not scale with Mario's level, so even at level 100, Gale Force will never be able to affect a boss such as Gloomtail.
Unlike Paper Mario's Fright Jars, Lady Bow's Spook, and Kalmar's Up & Away, defeating enemies with Gale Force will drop Star Points.
As Flurrie stops blowing wind, the player can press to perform a Stylish move.
Gale Force can also be used in the overworld to blow away various objects, such as bushes, posters and textures with a paper-like crease to reveal items or passages. If used on enemies on the overworld, they will get momentarily stunned, allowing Mario to sneak past or get a First Strike.

Trivia
- Wonky mentions that "flying monsters are weak against wind", and although there is no wind element or wind weakness in the game, flying enemies do overall have higher susceptibility rates to Gale Force compared to grounded enemies.
- Although notably Parabuzzies use incorrect status tables, and are therefore as resistant to Gale Force as their non-flying counterparts.
- Gale Force is one of the few moves that can clear out fog, although it itself, can also cause fog.
- This is also one of the few moves that can hit enemies despite the invisible status.
