Badge Duplication was found in Thousand Year Door!

[@BringlesCan]

Hey everyone, I wanted to address a few inaccuracies in this video viewers and TTYD experts have pointed out to me: The main thing is regarding 4:50. It seems OZKR misremembered or happened to get lucky as kiss thief does NOT guarantee a badge drop in the overworld if you have 200 badges. I should have made it more clear that this was speculation rather than a fact, especially since it’s not true. I’ve also received a lot of comments asking how the game actually handles the RNG calculation in regards to the 1 in 25 billion chance and honestly that was beyond the scope of this video. My main goal was to explain the absurdity of stacking things using badge duplication. I do not have the ability or knowledge to check this myself, but I will ask around to get an answer for you guys. I’ll edit this comment once I have one! Another thing is that I used outdated badge drop table information. I naively assumed the drop tables were updated when the remake was added to the remake. It seems that most badges are more likely to be held, and there are a wider range of enemies that can drop many badges. I mostly used these drop odds to contextualize badge duplication, so it isn’t load bearing information but I figured I’d point out that it’s wrong. Also apparently close call is a 33% chance for evasion, not a 25% chance. That information is easy to find but I was fully convinced in my head that it was 25% for some reason, haha. Don’t be cocky like me and double check your work. This video was made on a relatively tight schedule because it was sandwiched between 2 trips and it was topical so I wanted to get it out. This video still accurately describes how to duplicate badges and all interactions covered while stacking badges are also accurate! My apologies if these inaccuracies hinder the video for you, I’ll make sure to work harder to confirm information in the future. There’s a small community for this game and information can be hard to come by. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and read this!

[@oh_no787]

cool

[@oscaru737]

Yeah sorry guys, Ozkr here. I got the badge from kiss thief 4 out of 4 times after a battle and assumed it was 100% guaranteed back when I first found out. I was extra lucky but sorry for the misinformation 😅

[@BringlesCan]

No worries! 4 out of 4 times is insanely lucky and I would definitely assume it was guaranteed also lol

[@p2jnyoom]

​@@BringlesCan An additional correction that I feel needs to be brought up is that, when dropping badges for the duplication, the 3 limit applies to each individual badge, not all badges. I've been doing things on a Pre-Hooktail Pit save where I've had enough coins to fully buy out the shop minus Pity Flower (I sold Pity Flower to the shop because it's more useful to sell it for coins than equipped for use) before Chapter 5, and I noticed that not only did I get multiple copies of the badge I wanted to dupe (in this case, Power Jump), but I also received a dupe of the badge the enemy dropped (in this case, Pretty Lucky). On further testing, on a dropped FP Drain, I tried duping the FP Drain in addition to Hammerman, Jumpman, and Close Call. Lo and behold, when I check the shop, all my dupes were there. I also want to note that, in an empty enough shop, you can do 4 badges (1 on sale, 3 in the box). In the instance above, I duped a 4th FP Drain, and not only was there 1 copy on sale, but there were also 3 copies in the box; if a 3 limit were applied, there would only be 2 copies in the box and 1 on the shelf. With consideration of the badge you drop at the end of a dupe session, that means you could get 4 dupes on 4 different badges with a fully empty shop. I will be clear, I haven't been paying the most attention (v tired today), so I could be wrong on this due to miscounting. I'll try and record this interaction when I next get the time, but that may not be until next week. TL;DR, the "3 dupe limit" on badges only applies to each individual badge, not as a whole (certain). An emptied shop may have a 4 dupe limit if the duped badge gets a copy on the shelf (needs testing not done by tired me). I would also implore others to test to replicate my findings.

[@JesusOchoaPM]

I recently did this exploit, and have also found that you can dupe 3 unique badges up to 3 times each. I didn't think it would work until I checked the badge shop.

17:24 - fun fact, the highest CHARGED attack possible from an enemy is (spoilers): Prince Mush's flying kicks. If you get him into the "fiery fighting spirit" phase while he's at +3 charge, you can use Vivian's Veil to have him charge again (+6). He'll then deal an attack that hits for 140 points total (five consecutive kicks at 30, 29, 28, 27, and 26 damage respectively). Using your same formula, this would give us a damage output of 28,539 for Mush if it weren't capped.

[@maybeher0]

so WAIT, he charges up once if you don't Veil, but TWICE if you DO???? this mushroom terrifies me even more now

[@hoodedman6579]

Note that it is possible to become completely evasive at least in the original Thousand Year Door, as computers aren't truly random so there's only so many random values it's going to produce, and it's going to produce them in a specific order. The net result is that 52 Close Calls will make you invincible, as there's no string of 52 RNG values that will get through it. The same principle is probably true in the remake, but the exact number is probably different. Note that I got this info from jdaster64 on his article titled "The Trick Is To Not Get Hit - Evasion Badges in TTYD" on his blog, which I would highly recommend for a bunch of obscure Paper Mario info. Speaking of info from that blog, the Flower Finder information in this video is actually incorrect for the Switch version, as Dark Paratroopas now have their correct drop table (it was originally a copy of the Dark Paragloomba instead), which are the same as the Shady Paratroopas, so you can farm Flower Finders from them in the Pit if you are so inclined for some reason. Another important thing is that drop rates are better in the Switch version because every enemy can potentially drop something, not just the front one, though it does check front-to-back. This both gooses your odds (almost multiplying it by the amount of enemies in battle, but not quite) and also makes it so some drops from enemies stuck in the back are possible to get. You could now get a Flower Saver from an Amayzee Dayzee near the bottom of the Pit, for example. It also can heavily boost the odds of badges stuck on very specific enemies; Flower Finder would only have 2 chances of dropping in one Pit trip with the old drop logic, but it now has up to 6.

Badge duping is actually incredibly fast and easy in Paper Mario 64 if you only want to dupe one specific badge. The badge that drops from the tree puzzle in flower fields(center, right, left trees) doesn't despawn if you leave the room but the puzzle also resets if you leave and re-enter the room so you can just keep hitting the trees to get infinite of a badge.

[@JacksonBockus]

The 1 in 25 billion math is correct in theory, but in practice it will depend a lot on how the game determines hits and misses internally. Like whether it’s using floating-point arithmetic and with what precision. If it isn’t, it might be rounded to 0 or to something like 1/65536.

[@jkid1134]

Ah, the illusion of continuity. Yes, at a certain level, there probably no longer exists a frame on which Mario gets hit, or maybe there is always one where it gets hit and so it never goes below 1/number of seeds.

Has anybody done any testing? Because they easily could have capped it at a 1/255 chance or even some arbitrary number with no significance.

[@JacksonBockus]

@@jkid1134 in the original, it would calculate each badge’s dodge probability one at a time, so if you stacked 52 close calls you would always dodge because the PRNG’s cycle didn’t have any runs of 52 values that could all hit through a close call.

[@johnfranklin42]

@@eDoc2020I think P Down/Up D Up/Down badges get around defence piercing but I’d have to double check; basically they can’t really increase damage as defence as a stat calculation doesn’t work with negative numbers. You can try this by using soft stomp on an enemy with no defence and you won’t actually deal more damage to them, so the effects of those badges have to play outside those normal rules. As for poison, you could put on feeling fine and not have to worry about that, or HP drain to counterbalance the HP loss.

Hey, Bringle! One ***BIG*** addendum I'd like to add to this, if you haven't discovered it already! You said you can only get three badges at a time with this exploit, but that is not true in the slightest. You can only get three COPIES of a particular badge at a time!! But you can get near INFINITE badges total!! If you want to, you can drop every single badge in your inventory three times each, and they will ALL show up in the shop! THREE Power Pluses, THREE Power Plus Ps, THREE All-or-Nothings, etc. etc. etc... All done from a single badge pickup in the overworld! The limit of three only exists because the badge shop cannot store more than three copies of a particular badge at once. So you'd have to buy them and perform the glitch again if you want more than three duplicates of something. But you can still get three dupes of any badge in your inventory, all at once! Have fun with that information :D

I feel like this is a glitch that actually might not get patched out. Seems weird considering modern Nintendo standards but it really seems like not fully a glitch and rather just abuse of the way the game is intended to work. Like, it's definitely not fully functioning as intended since it thinks you dropped 3 separate copies of a badge instead of the same one three times, but other than that, it's working as intended. And it's also already been nearly a month since this was discovered and it hasn't been patched yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they leave this alone since it's so close to how they want it to work

[@wingedcatgirl]

Yeah, the only actual _mistake_ is that the Howz adds dropped badges to its inventory on *drop* instead of on *despawn*.

[@Aerafuz]

@@Wendy_O._Koopa They figure no one is going to immediately get to the elevator rails to use them since they're (usually) in what the game considers a "late-game" area, meanwhile the Wings are given to you immediately in the tutorial. And they're not going to fix the Rails' properties because they need them to be light to function as the Elevator's rails, because it would would be too much work to replace them all as a single object given orientation, angle, etc. So it's two (or more) parts for easier implementation. About the one thing they did patch about the Rail, is the Rail's inability to be destroyed by certain enemies, like Lynels and Gleeoks, which before the patch would perpetually break Lynel AI (They would constantly Roar to rid of Autobuild copies) and that auto build copies would not persist if broken from their initial glue point (IE You can't get an Autobuild Rail with an Apple, and break the Apple off to get a Rail on its own. Now it will vanish) I can see them patch this badge glitch.

[@darkness74185]

@@Aerafuz eh it depends. Patching this glitch is theoretically very easy (just do an ID and room check before sending a second copy of the same badge to the shop), but there's always the edge case of someone actually grinding out a second identical badge in the same room in normal gameplay, which would mean they might create what's realistically a worse glitch out of it.

Hi! Just so you know, scientific notation is very easy to read. An "e" of a negative number means that many zeroes before, and a positive number is that many zeroes after. IE: 3e4 would be 30000 and 3e-4 would be 0.0003

Can confirm. I tried this myself on two different enemies with a full badge inventory and kiss thief only gave me a coin with no drop after the battle, even if i used the move multiple times. I think the person just happened to get lucky and thought that kiss thief was the reason the badge dropped.

[@Amaury29]

Sorry. Ozkr here, I got the badge with kiss thief 4 out of 4 times and thought it would be 100% guaranteed. Keep trying! It will work eventually, hope you guys get it soon!

FYI, Kiss Thief can still badges from an enemy's hold table even if the enemy is not actually holding an item. It's much faster to just spam Kiss Thief at an enemy than to reset the encounter until it's holding something. I got five Mega Rush Ps in the original TTYD within a bit over an hour using this method.

It's actually a 1 in 100 millions chance for 64 close calls (assuming the percentage shown is correct) since 1% would be a 1 in 100 chance. Same mistake with the calculation for 99 close calls

[@Pikmanfan2002]

Fun fact about math and percentages: if something has a 1/X chance of occurring, if it happens X times, then it still has a 36-37% chance to not happen. This scales infinitely. If you have a 1/25,000,000,000 chance of being hit, and are attacked 25,000,000,000 times, you essentially only had a 2/3 chance to actually be hit. If you want to be 95% sure to be hit, you need to get attacked ~78 billion times

"and so moises part the red skibidi toilet sea in search of a new gyatt"

[@stevenleonmusic]

For practical purposes, having 99% evasion would be completely sufficient to call yourself invincible. That would require only 12 Close Call badges and 12 BP [(0.667^12)*100 = 0.78 % chance to be hit]. This would honestly be a great build because you'd have 99% evasion AND only 5 HP to take advantage of any danger strat you want. Since you only need 12 BP, you have plenty left over for a build that deals massive damage. IF you don't like the idea of having only 5 HP, Pretty Lucky is your best bet as the BP requirement is more efficient than Lucky Day. If you equip 22 Pretty Lucky badges (44 BP) you can get yourself to 91% evasion which is still near-invincible and gives you potentially up to 55 BP left for the rest of your build. I don't recommend going higher because of diminishing returns; you need 44 Lucky Day badges and 88 BP to match the effectiveness of 12 Close Call badges. All that said, Mario pretty much always gets to act first so why bother with evasion at all? I think you could just use a danger strat or partner badges to just OHKO anything before it acts.

Amazing! I love doing this type of probability math when I’m playing other games so it was cool to see you explain it for this context as well. 🙂

[@Azure30]

I'm pretty sure I've duplicated far more than 3 badges at a time after picking up a badge - if you're duplicating the same badge repeatedly, the shop wont hold all of them at the same time, but if you leave the badge shop and get into a battle, finish it, and come back to the badge shop, the stock will refresh and will continue to restock duplicate badges until it runs out of its stock (based on however many you 'dropped')

[@banananana2]

I was gonna say if it was capped at 3 then it defeats the point because badges would still disappear

[@guardian_angel8]

I think he was referring to the fact the Badge Shop can only hold 3 copies of each Badge in storage

[@georgeshaw4017]

Tip For People Who Need Badges By Enemies: Huge groups have a better badge spawn rate. Go into Rogueport Sewers and get quick badges by turning into a Boat on Sublevel Two and heading to where the three Shine Sprites are. Spanias and Spunias have a chance of holding Pretty Lucky and Pretty Lucky P. They spawn in huge groups of four and five. It mostly only takes a few minutes to get a badge to appear by the longest. Sometimes even less because there’s four groups of Spanias and one Spunia! If you don’t see one, just run away and if you go through all five groups without seeing one, run away and exit the room and enter back in immediately to reset the Chance. The only issue is the badge dropping but it should be quick to grab one if you are lucky! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@srzapata99]

Now we need someone from computer science to check what kind of variable is the percentage being saved, because they have limits if it is a float or decimal variable and thus you may achieve 100% evasion because of the programming limitations

[@aday3479]

ice power reduces fire damage by 1 and increases damage to fire enemies by 1 per badge equipped and also gives immunity to burn

[@asteroidrules]

Several badges that add abilities say they'll increase the power, and FP cost, of those abilities if stacked. Is there a cap on how high that can go? What's the highest possible damage or FP cost we can cause with this?

[@LionAzul]

Anybody know where that person went to report bugs? I encountered a bug where I had Mario standing in battle at 0 HP by taking lethal damage on the second hit of a 3 hit move, then getting lucky for the third hit. I have footage of standing at 0HP in battle recorded as well.

[@Drflash55Official]

8:48 Not technically true, as if you decide to tempt fate and reload the shop by moving two rooms away (in this case, heading to the Blimp/Train Station) and then head back, you are able to shuffle around the badges that are being sold in the shop and can get them for a discounted price. The only issue is that you can only buy one of those badges at a time, meaning you have to keep reloading the shop constantly if you want to buy all of your badges at a discounted price (which is worth it if you don't have a lot of "Money Money" badges on hand or the BP to use them on).

you forgot that it was a percentage, you'd have to divide by 100 again before taking the reciprocal for the fractional chance so it's 1 in 2.3 trillion

They should have made an impossible easter egg (except with badge duplication) that if you have more than 1 Nostalgic Tunes badge, the music keeps degrading. So with 2 you get N64 tunes, with 3 you get SNES style tunes, etc.

[@SillierPutty]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@morphstarchangeling8024]

I'm pretty sure I got around the pay full price thing by simply buying out the badge shop so there are no badges left meaning they have to put anything I duplicated to be put out front instead of in the cardboard box on the side.

[@ninjaydes]

Glad you gave a shoutout to Danger Mario offensive strats. While the duping is doable, it's not necessary to break the game.

12:53 We did it, not only can we take Mario in peril with "infinite" power rush and mega rush to deal an incredible amount of damage, we can also make him invincible during that state

[@Mubashar_Asghar]

Just a heads up as it wasn’t really made clear, the limit isn’t a max 3 duplicates at once, there’s a limit of 3 badges of ‘each’ type the shop can hold. Meaning you can duplicate 3 of every badge with this at once and 3 of each type of badge would appear in the shop, it’s not a 3 badge dupe limit, it’s a 3 of each type limit.

[@patroka]

Has anyone checked verified that the cap on the amount of damage you can take is not just a visual effect? I.e. if you can still take over 99 damage, but it just always displays as 99

[@awesomelink2347]

Also, Mario Wiki's drop tables are a bit inaccurate. For instance, the chance for an X-Naut PhD to drop a Flower Finder badge is 2/364 (1/182), not 2/300 like it lists. They also don't take into account that random drops in general are only a CHANCE to happen (without Item Hog, a 1/4 chance normally and a 1/5 chance in the Pit of 100 Trials), so it's in reality even less.

[@Yokujin]

8:50 if i dont misunderstand how the shop works: you dont have to pay the full price but depending how lucky you are, howz can put some badges from the box on display making the badges cheaper

[@mannofdober873]

Oh, that's not Mario. That's Mario's after-image. Yeah, he's wearing 99 close calls and left the room about half an hour ago. Good luck hitting him.
