'''Tidal Wave''' is a move used by [[Sushie]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. This attack costs Mario six [[Flower Point]]s and can be used once Sushie is [[Ultra Rank]]. It is an all-range attack in which Sushie bounces across the screen in many directions, hitting all enemies with water. Fire enemies are more susceptible to this attack and take greater damage from it (for example, [[Lava Piranha]], when he and his [[Lava Bud]]s are cloaked in flames during the second half of the battle). The action command involves pressing either A, B, or C-Down when shown on the screen as many times as possible within a time limit; failing to press any buttons results in no damage.
'''Tidal Wave''' is a move used by [[Sushie]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. This attack costs Mario six [[Flower Point]]s and can be used once Sushie is [[Ultra Rank]]. In this attack Sushie bounces across the screen hitting all enemies with water. Because this move is imbued with the water element, some enemies will take more or less damage from the attack depending on their weakness or resistance to water.


The action command involves executing the most correct inputs ({{button|n64|A}}, {{button|n64|B}}, {{button|n64|Cdown}}) within a time limit. The inputs pop-up one after another whenever the latest one is successfully executed, and for every successful input the attack will do 1 more damage, up to 14. However, without cycle-mashing,<ref>Jdaster64. (September 13, 2021).

Retrieved May 28, 2023.</ref> reaching anything close to 14 is unrealistic, and in practice the expected damage output of Tidal Wave is 6.

**However, on the [[Virtual Console]], the game doesn't crash but instead maxes out after 14 buttons are pressed, and the 15th button icon location overflows and gets stuck on the status bar. Other HUD issues are experienced as well.
