'''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 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 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, 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 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.
In his final form, the Master is actually stronger than the final boss, Bowser (in his powered-up state); while both have 99 HP, The Master has more powerful attacks than Bowser. Much like Bonetail in the sequel, the Master is the strongest opponent in the game and is completely optional.
The Master is noted for having delicate health, causing him to cough and wheeze often. According to 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.[1] 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.
In Super Paper Mario, Francis has comics featuring The Master.
