Point Swaps are items found inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. They are commonly sold at theGlitzvillesouvenir shop for fivecoins each. When used, this item will allowMario or hispartner to switch theirHP andFP. This does not allow either stat to exceed its normal maximum; any points in excess of the maximum are simply lost. Using a Point Swap when FP is 0 will successfully reduce the target's HP to 0, and apply whatever consequences normally occur.
Cooking a Point Swap with another item has various results. For restoration items, an HP-restoring item will usually turn into an FP-restoring item of the same amount and vice versa. For attack and status items, the result is often an item that is conceptually the reverse or opposite of the first item, and again is usually reversible. Point Swaprecipes are not recorded in the Recipes journal except for those that createPoison Mushrooms.
