Badge Bandit

A Badge Bandit is a purple-colored Bandit that can only be found in the Pit of 100 Trails during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Unlike other Badges, these thieves can steal Badges. Stolen Badges can be recovered by using Ms. Mowz's Kiss Thief move, or by beating the Badge Bandit - the Badge will then reappear on the screen to be picked up. If a Badge Bandit manages to run away with a Badge, the battle must be refought to reclaim the badge. Mario should use a Boo's Sheet, a Volt Shroom or Zap Tap Badge to stop Badge Bandits from stealing his hard-earned badges. The plumber can also protect himself by consistently guarding or superguarding the attacks of these Bandits
