TheUltra Boots are the most powerful boots in thePaper Mario series found inToad Town Tunnels inPaper Mario and inRiverside Station inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. WhenMario is wearing the Ultra Boots, hisJump attack delivers three damage per jump to a defenseless enemy (while his normalBoots only deal one damage). They also enable Mario to use a powerful jump move, which creates a new technique in solving puzzles. Obtaining these boots will replace theSuper Boots.
InPaper Mario, the Ultra Boots allow Mario to do aTornado Jump, an ability that allows him to break blocks far above his normal jumping range. The move can also be used to break ice. The boots can be found in theToad Town Tunnels. They are in achest past spikes (which Mario can ride over withLakilester), a maze pathway with several invisible blocks, and a collection ofSpinies andDark Koopas. They permanently replace theSpin Jump.
InPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Ultra Boots allow Mario to do aSpring Jump, letting him grab onto pipes and bars he cannot normally reach. Unlike inPaper Mario, after acquiring these boots, Mario still retains his Spin Jump. Mario can get them inRiverside Station with theExcess Express train.Luigi's special ability inSuper Paper Mario is similar to the Ultra Boots' power in this game.

Notes[edit]
- In the original Japanese version ofPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, holding
when the player does not have the Ultra Boots prevents Mario from moving. - When the Ultra Boots are found in Riverside Station, the message that shows up is grammatically incorrect, reading, "You got an Ultra Boots!" The same occurs when the player obtains theSuper Boots. This was corrected in the Switch remake, with "an" omitted from the message.
- AlthoughPaper Mario has the recurring theme of using the upgrade obtained in a room in order to exit that room, Mario can instead just jump from the raised platform in front of the chest to break the block and release the spring, rather than using the Tornado Jump to accomplish the same thing.
