Watt is one of Mario's partners who appears in Paper Mario. She is the sixth partner to join Mario, and joins him in Shy Guy's Toy Box.
Biography
Watt was first seen where she was the source of light found in the lamp of the Big Lantern Ghost. She thanks Mario after he defeats the Lantern Ghost, frees her from the lantern she was trapped in, and joins the party, being the sixth member. She specializes in electrical attacks which ignore any forms of defense and spiked enemies. Despite her young age (note the pacifier), she punches well above her weight and age, proving to be an extremely valuable ally to Mario in many battles and boss battles. And for many players, Watt may be one of the most potent party members.
Profile
Power and abilities
Watt's main attack, Electro Dash, is able to penetrate most enemies' defenses, making her reliable for a consistent damage output. Her Power Shock and Mega Shock attacks are used to paralyze enemies and stop them from attacking. She can also boost Mario's attack power by one point temporarily with the Turbo Charge move.
Watt's main field ability is that she can illuminate dark areas while Mario is holding her. In addition to dark areas, Watt can also reveal hidden blocks that must be jumped under in order to make it visible.
