In the ''Paper Mario'' series, First Strikes can be used by Mario to damage or possibly defeat enemies before he takes his first turn in battle. Bosses and mid-bosses (with a few exceptions), and some enemies like [[M. Bush]]es and [[Hurt Plant]]s cannot be harmed by usage of a First Strike. First Strikes can also be used against Mario; for example, if a [[Koopa Troopa]] successfully attacks Mario with its shell, Mario will get hit by the First Strike. | In the ''Paper Mario'' series, First Strikes can be used by Mario to damage or possibly defeat enemies before he takes his first turn in battle.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', [[Goompa]] first mentions this to Mario as they walk through [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]]. First Strikes in this game can be performed by Mario, or by his partners [[Kooper]] and [[Bombette]]. The text that Mario makes the First Strike is "You made the First Strike!", and the text when Mario is hit by a First Strike says "You're hit by the First Strike!". First Strikes from enemies can be avoided by dodging the attack or by equipping the [[Chill Out (badge)|Chill Out]] [[Badge]]. While the [[Dizzy Attack]] Badge is equipped, Mario can inflict [[Dizzy]] on the first enemy in a formation (but does not deal damage) by using his [[Spin Dash]] move to run into an enemy before a battle. Mario can instantly defeat any enemy that would reward one or more [[Star Points]] (which is considered to be "weak"), entirely skipping the battle without rewarding Star Points, with a First Strike by equipping the [[First Attack]] Badge. This property can be extended to Mario's spin dash by equipping the [[Spin Attack (Badge)|Spin Attack]] Badge, and even further extended to walking by equipping the [[Bump Attack]] Badge (which overwrites both First Attack and Spin Attack due to just requiring contact with the enemy in question). Mario can equip the [[Spike Shield]] Badge to be able to jump on spiky enemies such as [[Cleft]]s, or can equip either the [[Fire Shield]] or [[Ice Power]] Badges to jump on fire enemies like [[Lava Bubble]]s. | In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', [[Goompa]] first mentions this to Mario as they walk through [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]].

[[Bowser]] can also use First Strikes by [[punch]]ing or [[Fire Breath|breathing fire]] (the latter of which can [[burn]] foes) on the enemy in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. | [[Bowser]] can also use First Strikes by [[punch]]ing or [[Fire Breath|breathing fire]] (the latter of which can [[burn]] foes) on the enemy in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. | ||
