'''The Master''' is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] who is a powerful martial artist and the resident teacher of the [[Toad Town Dojo]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. The Master will not be at the Dojo until Mario and [[Goombario]] defeat the [[Magikoopa]] at [[Star Hill|Shooting Star Summit]]. If [[Mario]] defeats his students [[Lee]] and [[Chan]], Mario can fight The Master. The Master is fought up to three times, and Mario can earn (in order) the [[Third-Degree Card|Third-Degree]], [[Fourth-Degree Card|Fourth-Degree]], and [[Diploma]] cards. However, each time Mario wins a battle, the next fight with the Master is more difficult. The Master's appearance in the third battle is the same, except he becomes surrounded by a golden aura. If Mario loses all of his [[Heart Point|HP]] during his battles with The Master, he does not get a [[Game Over]]; instead, he is sent back to the field with only 1 HP remaining.


'''The Master''' is a powerful martial artist and the resident teacher of the [[Toad Town Dojo]]. He is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] who appears in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. If [[Mario]] defeats his students [[Lee]] and [[Chan]], the [[plumber]] will have the opportunity to challenge the Master himself in battle. In fact, Mario can fight the Master three times, and can earn (in order) the Third Degree, Fourth Degree, and Diploma cards. However, each time Mario wins a battle, the next fight with the Master will become exponentially harder. The Master's appearance in the third battle is the same, except he is surrounded by a golden aura. With experience and skill (and maybe a few tricks), Mario can defeat the Master's third and most powerful form and earn the [[Diploma]].
In his final form, the Master is actually stronger than the final boss, [[Bowser]] (in his powered-up state); while both have 99 [[Heart Point|HP]], The Master has more powerful attacks than Bowser. Much like [[Bonetail]] in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|the sequel]], the Master is the strongest opponent in the game and is completely optional.


In his final form, the Master is actually stronger than the final boss, [[Bowser]] (in his powered-up state); while both have 99 [[Heart Point|HP]], The Master has more powerful attacks than Bowser. Much like [[Bonetail]] in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|the sequel]], the Master is the strongest opponent in the game and is completely optional, thus he is the game's superboss.
The Master is noted for having delicate health, causing him to cough and wheeze often. According to [[Russ T.#Goompa|Russ T.]] after Chapter 7, [[Goompa]] used to train and spar with The Master. [[Tayce T.]] is the Master's sister, as is mentioned by a certain Toad in ''Paper Mario''.<ref>From the Green Toad standing next to the [[Odd House]] during Chapter 3:
:Mario, Mario, Mario. Have you ever met Tayce T.? She lives in a house just over there.
:She always cooks great dishes for the townspeople.
:I heard that when Tayce T. used to live in the Dojo, a powerful Goomba teacher was training The Master.
:Tayce T. learned to cook from the Goomba teacher's wife.
:What? You don't know why Tayce T. lived in the Dojo?
:The Master and Tayce T. are brother and sister. Everybody knows that!
</ref> Additionally, this same Toad reveals that Tayce T. used to live in the Dojo alongside her brother before moving to her own home. In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Wonky]] implies Tayce T. and [[Zess T.]] are sisters, which in turn suggests that the two are also the Master's siblings.


The Master is also 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.
