[[File:PM Power Bounce obtained.png|thumb|right|[[Mario]] obtaining the Power Bounce badge in ''[[Paper Mario]]'']]

'''Power Bounce''' is a [[badge]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. In ''Paper Mario'', it is at the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]]' entrance, inside a jail cell accessed by using [[Bombette]]. It is also accessible through an opening in the back of the jail. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', it is found at the entrance to [[Hooktail Castle]]. If [[Mario]] equips this badge, he is able to use the Power Bounce [[jump]] move at the cost of three [[Flower Point|FP]]. By timing the [[Action Command]]s correctly, [[Mario]] is able to continuously jump on a single enemy until the Action Command is failed. The first jump does the normal damage of a jump, and every subsequent jump does one less damage until every attack only deals one damage. After every bounce, the action becomes a little faster and the timing needs to be more precise as a result. The [[All or Nothing]], [[Power Plus (badge)|Power Plus]], [[Mega Rush]], [[Power Rush]], and [[P-Up, D-Down]] badges increase the first jump's damage and subsequently all further damage. Some bosses and stronger enemies have a bounce cap in which the game automatically stops Mario's Power Bounce.<ref>A complete listing of Power Bounce caps for every enemy and boss, found by jdaster64, can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g-TeiXy2Yda_fwBaDLBw2hAgMugZpAv6saZsHW8h2d4/edit#gid=0 here]</ref> Auto-Caps have a slightly different animation than missing an Action Command in the first ''Paper Mario'' game, and do not count as a missed Action Command when using the All or Nothing badge. The badge [[Dodge Master]] decreases the chance that the player becomes Auto-Capped.
