Thought Peek, originally known asPsychopath, is aspecial technique thatMallow learns inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars andits Nintendo Switch remake. The skill allows Mallow to view an enemy's currentHP level. If the player can push
right before the two lights converge on the enemy, Mallow will also be able to read the enemy's mind, revealing a quote. Occasionally, this mind probe reveals a weakness or even more rarely a revelation of further plot points or a point of character development for the enemy in question.
The original name was seemingly changed to not refer to the mental statepsychopathy, and seems to be a reinterpretation from the Ancient Greek words "ψυχή" (psukhḗ, "soul") and "πάθος" (páthos, "feeling"), taking the literal meaning of "feeling of the mind". The remake changesmost instances relating to mental states.
Mallow learns Psychopath when he reaches Level 6 in the original; he starts with Thought Peek in the remake. This ability uses oneFlower Point (FP). This technique has no Magic Power rating, since it does not actually damage the enemy or heal the party. Thought Peek can be thought of as the predecessor of theTattle ability from thePaper Mario series, which reveals HP and actual tips. In the remake, the enemy's elemental and status weaknesses are shown in addition to their current HP. Any enemy thoughts and weaknesses obtained from Thought Peek are recorded in theMonster List. A hidden NPC inBooster Pass can be paid threeFrog Coins to fill in missed Thought Peek entries for enemies that have been encountered. The Thought Peek entries forTerrapin,Bowser,Chaindelier, andHammer Bro, which are all fought before Mallow joins the party, are given for free.
