Weak to Hammer Throw
![Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog In Paper Mario, a specific type of event-only enemy that is only fought once in the game has a unique weakness to an attack that is not designed to be used against these enemies, so that it took 18 years after the game's release for this effect to be discovered. Details below. HP O 8/10 x 55 x203 Hammer Hammer Throw 2Fp NICE Hits one enemy with the Hammer, na matter where the enemy is. In Paper Mario, many enemies have elemental weaknesses, eg. fire-based enemies take extra damage from ice attacks etc. The vast majority of these weaknesses are obvious through the enemy's design, and shared with other similar enemies. However, there is one weakness that is so obscure it took 18 years after the game's release to even attempt to use that attack against that specific enemy to discover it During one event in Chapter 6, green Monty Moles appear. They are fought only then, and disappear forever afterwards. For an unknown reason, (normal enemies would have taken 6 damage in the screenshots). The Hammer Throw badge is designed to be used against flying or ceiling- bound enemies - against ground-bound enemies, it is equivalent to a regular Hammer attack, so almost no players would use it against the Monty Moles, much less event-only ones, much less expect it to have any sort of special effect, leading to this being undiscovered for so long.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/008/015/a09.png)

That's not what this post is for and I completely discourage doing that.

They just feel like what they liked about the older games isn't there in newer titles. The average Liked at least one of the newer games in the series. It doesn't matter if they like the older games too, they'd still be labeled a fan of the modern ones. "Yes, I like Color Splash." "modern fan" Loves TTYD. Can't stop talking about The TTYD- TTYD. They talk about TTYD and TTYD alone. They also talk about how Sticker Star ruined the series, but that's just par for the course.
