Mario first encounters Ms. Mowz in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' while exploring the armory of [[Hooktail Castle]] in the game's first chapter. She introduces herself as the "globe-trotting thief" and came here to collect valuable badges. She also heard Mario is on a quest for the [[Diamond Star|first Crystal Star]], but she has not seen it. She gives Mario a farewell kiss and mentions there is a [[Attack FX R|badge]] that can defeat [[Hooktail]] before she leaves. Ms. Mowz reappears again in the following two chapters, hunting for elusive badges in [[the Great Tree]] of [[Boggly Woods]] and in storerooms of the [[Glitz Pit]] colosseum. Concurrent with and after these events, Mario and the party can actually encounter an unmasked Ms. Mowz in her legitimate [[Rogueport]] shop, the [[Lovely Howz of Badges]] - used by the thief to sell her lucrative badge finds. The locals of Rogueport, who sometimes see the undisguised Ms. Mowz wearing the standard black bandana of Squeeks, refer to her as the "Badge-Ninja". | Mario first encounters Ms. Mowz in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' while exploring the armory of [[Hooktail Castle]] in the game's first chapter.

As a partner, Ms. Mowz has the ability to sniff out any type of [[List of items|item]] (similar to [[Watt]]'s ability to show [[Hidden Block|hidden]] [[? Block]]s in the first ''[[Paper Mario]]''), ranging from [[coin]]s, items, [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Pieces]], and [[List of hidden blocks in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|invisible ? blocks]]; however, this ability is more like playing hot-and-cold, as straight answers are not given beyond a backflip when the player is very close. She does, however, indicate whether the item is to the left or right of Mario by the direction she faces when she is finished sniffing. In battle, Ms. Mowz's [[Love Slap]] attack cuts through enemy [[defense]], her [[Kiss Thief]] can steal enemies' items and badges, her [[Tease]] move can make enemies [[dizzy]], and her [[Smooch (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Smooch]] move replenishes Mario's [[Heart Point|HP]]. | As a partner, Ms. Mowz has the ability to sniff out any type of [[List of items|item]] (similar to [[Watt]]'s ability to show [[Hidden Block|hidden]] [[?

[[File:MsMowz-SPM.png|thumb|right|Ms. Mowz's unused sprite in ''Super Paper Mario'']] | |||
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Ms. Mowz appears on a [[Catch Card]] won by winning the [[Duel of 100]] in [[Sammer's Kingdom]]. An image of her can also be spied very briefly during the intro, where she among all the other partners from the previous two ''Paper Mario'' titles are in a photo at the [[Mario Bros.' House]]. Lastly, during the third chapter, [[Francis]] made a "things to buy" list, and one of them was a Ms. Mowz doll "with real smooching action". | In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Ms. Mowz appears on a [[Catch Card]] won by winning the [[Duel of 100]] in [[Sammer's Kingdom]].

Ms. Mowz has sprite data in the internal files to ''Super Paper Mario'', even though she does not physically appear in the game. | |||
===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''=== | |||
Though she does not appear in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'', one of the songs in the game is a remixed rendition of her theme song under the title "Ms. Mowz Song". This composition also incorporates the music to [[X-Naut Fortress]]. | |||

*She and [[Admiral Bobbery|Bobbery]] are the only two partners in the game who can never attack Mario (although like Bobbery, her initial encounters with Mario include some tension or hostility): [[Vivian]] attacks Mario and the early party with [[The Shadow Sirens|her sisters]], while [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], [[Flurrie]] and [[Mini-Yoshi]] may appear alongside [[Doopliss]] while his Mario disguise has fooled them. | *She and [[Admiral Bobbery|Bobbery]] are the only two partners in the game who can never attack Mario (although like Bobbery, her initial encounters with Mario include some tension or hostility): [[Vivian]] attacks Mario and the early party with [[The Shadow Sirens|her sisters]], while [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], [[Flurrie]] and [[Mini-Yoshi]] may appear alongside [[Doopliss]] while his Mario disguise has fooled them. | ||
