- —Description
Close Call is a recurring badge in the Paper Mario series. It first appears in Paper Mario and returns in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The Close Call badge gives the same effect to Mario in both games.
This badge is part of the "Lucky" badge series, meaning that during battle, Mario may be lucky during an opponent's attack, causing the attack to automatically miss. Since this badge is the weakest version in the set, it only works occasionally while Mario is in danger.
Location
Paper Mario
In Paper Mario, the Close Call is found in the beginning of the game in a Red Question Block located near the beginning of Goomba Road. After striking the block, the badge is released from the block. This is the second badge Mario collects on his adventure. This badge requires a single Badge Point to be worn by Mario.
