-The '''Superguard''' is a move used in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]]''. It is the more advanced version of a [[Guard]]. It stops any attack from doing any damage at all. Plus any direct-contact moves will be returned to the attacker causing the enemy 1 damage. On indirect-attacks, the Superguard will simply negate all damage. Unlike a Guard, it also prevents any status effects.

+The '''Superguard''' is an alternate version of [[guard|guarding]] used in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. If done correctly, Mario or his partner will spin around and words will pop out next to them saying "GREAT" in orange ("SUPERGUARD" in purple in the remake); whereas normal guarding will have [[Mario]] or his partner just retain a ducked position, and the words say "NICE" in blue ("GUARD" in green in the remake). Executing a superguard will also nullify all damage and negative status that would have otherwise been inflicted by the attack. Furthermore it will deal one point of damage to physical attackers (except for those with unpiercable defense such as [[Iron Cleft]]s), and cancel out multi-hit physical attacks. However superguarding will prevent dealing [[Electrified]] or [[Payback]] damage to the attacking enemy.
+Superguarding will also reflect segments thrown by [[Pokey]]s and [[Poison Pokey]]s, in which case these segments will deal back damage to the Pokey equal to their attack power. However, no other projectiles work this way.
-There is one catch, however. It is extremely hard to time, even harder than a Guard. This can be done by pressing B right before contact. If done correctly, [[Mario]] or one his partners will spin around and words will pop out next to him or her saying '''Great!!'''.
+==Timing==
+Although superguards are more effective than guards, they are significantly harder to execute, having to input {{button|gcn|B}} 3 frames (3/60th of a second) before contact, rather than a guard's 8 frames (8/60th of a second)<ref>http://ml.techyoshi.com/index.php?topic=97.5</ref>
+The input window will also decrease by 1 frame for every [[Unsimplifier]] equipped, however it takes two [[Simplifier]]s to increase the superguard's guard window to 4 frames. Equiping a single simplifier will have no effect on superguard timing.

+==Trivia==
+*The [[Pixl]] [[Barry]]'s ability in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' is very similar to the Superguard; their animations are very similar (spinning in place), and both require good timing (though Barry's doesn't have to be very precise) in order to deal damage to the opponent and protect the player from damage.
