'''Love Slap''' is a move used by [[Ms. Mowz]] during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. This attack is one of her initial moves, and the only one of her full moveset that deals damage. It doesn't cost any [[Flower Point|FP]]. To perform it, the player has to repeatedly tilt the Control Stick ({{button|gcn|Stick}}) left and right to fill the gauge. After the short allotted time is up, Ms. Mowz will slap the enemy three times, dealing [[Piercing attack|Defense Power-piercing damage]]. She is unable to use this move on flying, spiked, and fiery enemies.
'''Love Slap''' is an attack that can be used by [[Ms. Mowz]] during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. To perform it, the player has to repeatedly tilt ({{button|gcn|Stick}}) left and right alternatively to fill the gauge within the time limit. After the time is up, Ms. Mowz will slap the selected enemy three times, dealing [[Piercing attack|piercing damage]] equivalent to how far the gauge was filled. This attack can only hit the frontmost grounded enemy, and if the targeted enemy is spiky or deals contact damage, Mowz will take damage and have the attack cancelled out.


It deals low 2-4 damage, so the best strategy is to use it on high-Defense enemies, or to equip Attack-raising badges. When Ms. Mowz executes this move, the [[Audience]] can be heard booing, indicating that they don't like this move (probably because the first two strikes don't do any damage). This is further proven when some audience members leave because of the attack. Also, the [[Stylish move]], which is performed by pressing {{button|gcn|A}} on the way back after the attack, does not give much extra [[Star Power]].
After Ms. Mowz is halfway to returning to her starting position after performing the move, the player can press {{button|gcn|A}} to execute a [[Stylish move]]. However this move's [[Star Power]] regeneration is bugged, and will always be much lesser than the expected amounted. Furthermore the non-damaging slaps Mowz does before her final slap displease [[audience]] members (as evidenced by audible booing), and may even contribute to losing them.

Love Slap is an attack that can be used by Ms. Mowz during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. To perform it, the player has to repeatedly tilt (Control Stick) left and right alternatively to fill the gauge within the time limit. After the time is up, Ms. Mowz will slap the selected enemy three times, dealing piercing damage equivalent to how far the gauge was filled. This attack can only hit the frontmost grounded enemy, and if the targeted enemy is spiky or deals contact damage, Mowz will take damage and have the attack cancelled out.

After Ms. Mowz is halfway to returning to her starting position after performing the move, the player can press A Button to execute a Stylish move. However this move's Star Power regeneration is bugged, and will always be much lesser than the expected amounted. Furthermore the non-damaging slaps Mowz does before her final slap displease audience members (as evidenced by audible booing), and may even contribute to losing them.
