Huff N. Puff

Huff N. Puff is the Chapter 6 boss of Paper Mario, and often considered to be the hardest boss. He has the appearance of a gigantic yellow cloud with red eyes.

Huff N. Puff used a Puff Puff Machine to cover Flower Fields with clouds, and held the sixth Star Spirit, Klevar, captive. He was angry when Mario broke the Puff Puff Machine, and fought him, but was defeated, and destroyed in an explosion that scattered the Tuff Puffs inside him.

Battle
Huff N. Puff has 60 HP, an attack power of 5, and 0 defense. He can jump on Mario, blow wind at Mario that the player must press A repeatedly to reduce this to 3 damage at the least, and charge up to strike Mario with lightning for 10 or 12 damage. Whenever he takes damage, a Tuff Puff breaks off of him. Tuff Puffs can attack Mario to do damage until he presses A repeatedly to stop them. Huff N. Puff can swallow the Tuff Puffs to heal any damage done to him. The only way to stop him is to destroy the Tuff Puffs.

If Mario puts on Stone Caps (to make him unable to move yet unable to take damage for a few turns) and has Goombario (at Super or Ultra Rank) charge up his attack power until it reaches 30 or 31, a Headbonk or Multibonk will be sufficient to kill him with one attack.
