Toad's Adventure Dual Badge Power-up System =========================================== Somewhat similar to Castlevania: Circle of the Moon's system, the player can acquire badges during the game. However, unlike CotM, multiple badge combos can be activated to give different attributes, for instance, fireball throwing and defense against thunder. It is also possible that the player might be able to receive more than one copy of some cards, to allow multiple techniques in a single class to be equipped at once. There are two badge types, Spirit, which correspond to CotM's action cards, and enable a certain class of enhancements, and Power, which enable a Spirit to do its work with that Power badge's element or power-up type emphasized. Each combo will require a certain amount of Badge Points (BP) to be dedicated toward its learning. BP are earned in battle along with Exp. Spirit Badges ============= 1.

Rather than a fixed numeric amount though, this combo will probably give you a certain percentage of your max HP back at random, as to keep it useful throughout the game. * Frog + Koopa: Flower Regen See above. This will work similarily, but for Flower Points (magic). * Kuribo + Potion: HP Potion This combo is an attack command that restores a percentage of the target's max HP. Its meant for healing the player primarily, but would work on enemy targets as well (could be useful against undead creatures...) * Bomb + Mushroom: Devastating Plant Attack A large number of members of the Piranha Plant family will bloom from the ground and attack in tandem. These are likely to include, among possible others, the Fire Piranha boss from Paper Mario, and Ptooie, Walking Piranha, and Venus Fire Trap from SMB3. * Bomb + Turnip: Devastating Veggie Attack A bunch of large vegetables will bounce across the screen, doing mega-damage. Likely to include the Turnip, Desert Melon, and some vegetables that appear only when fighting Wart in SMB2. * Bomb + Star: Devastating Star Beam Attack Similar to the Star Beam in Paper Mario -- the patrons of Star Haven will descend and create an unblockable laser that does extreme damage. * Bomb + Hammer: Devastating Hammer Bros. Pack Attack Each group of the SMB3 Hammer Bros. family -- Hammer Bros, Boomerang Bros, Fire Bros, and Sledge Bros, plus the Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro. from SMW will attack in tandem for the most damage of any attack in the game. This will be the indisputably most powerful attack.
