Description(s)
In battle, makes most enemies who touch Mario take damage.(Paper Mario)

During battles, Mario becomes electrified and inflicts 1 damage to any enemies that touch him.(Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Nintendo Switch)

Zap Tap is abadge inPaper Mario andPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. InPaper Mario, it can be bought fromMerlow for 10Star Pieces, and inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it is the reward for reaching the thirtieth level of thePit of 100 Trials, found in atreasure chest. If equipped byMario, itelectrifies him, causing any enemy that makes direct contact with him to take a small amount of damage. This applies to any physical attacks that an enemy may perform (excluding contact outside of battle), though it does not apply when Mario attacks. The contact damage also ignores the enemy's defense stat. It does not affect the enemy's attack, although it will preventBandits from stealing anything, andFuzzies andSwoopulas deal no damage at all. It also interrupts attacks that hit multiple times, such as from theShy Squad orThe Master. In addition, although not mentioned in-game, if Mario is electrified he can jump on an electrified enemy (mostlyDark orRuff Puffs andHuff N. Puff) without taking damage. InPaper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Zap Tap is unaffected by the Feeling Fine badge.

Goomba if it attacks Mario while wearing the Zap Tap in Paper Mario

In the original game,Goomba,Paragoomba, andSpiked Goomba have unique "shocked" sprites showing their skeleton if affected by this badge; it does not occur with any other electrical attack or enemy.
