Prince Mush is a character who first appeared in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He was the first champion of the Glitz Pit during the game's storyline. He is also the younger brother of Jolene.
History
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Prince Mush is mentioned by several characters throughout Chapter 3 of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and appears at the end of it. Prince Mush was captured and had his power drained by Grubba's power-draining machine after he found out that Grubba was using a Crystal Star to drain fighters' powers. As such, Mush was missing for an extended amount of time. Afterward, his older sister Jolene went undercover in the Glitz Pit to look for him, and after accidentally seeing Grubba power up by using his machine, she carefully guided Mario to defeat Grubba. After Grubba's defeat, Grubba claimed to have sucked the life out of Mush with his machine to benefit himself, saddening Jolene before Mush suddenly appears out of the Gold Star. Now united with his sister Jolene, they rejoice.
Later in Mario's adventure, he receives an e-mail from Jolene saying that Prince Mush is planning on making a comeback. However, he can never be fought in the game. Mush is also the answer to a question of the X-Naut Fortress Thwomp, who asks the name of the very first champion of Glitzville. Unlike other languages which give him a real name that differs from his stage name, Prince Mush's real name is simply Mush in the English version.
In the Nintendo Switch remake, Prince Mush is available as a boss after Chapter 5. He has a max HP of 96, an attack stat of 6, and a defense stat of 6. In the first phase of the fight, Mush will switch between a hopping or sidestepping stance every turn, each allowing him to fully dodge either grounded or aerial attacks respectively. Mush's initial moves include a dashing punch and a flashing dropkick, which, if successfully superguarded, will cancel his current stance for a turn (causing his defense to drop to 0). Once Mush's HP drops a bit, he will start charging up his attack power by 3, followed by a five-hit kicking combo in the very next turn. Once his HP drops by half or less, Mush will be able to power up tremendously, doing so right either before executing a standard attack or multiple times in a row to deliver a devastating combo next turn. During this phase, he will remain in a invulnerable defensive stance (again unless his attacks are superguarded), while creating two duplicates of himself after performing a successful move. Once defeated, he gives Mario his belt as a token of appreciation, and can be refought at any point.
Goombella's battle Tattle implies Prince Mush once fell victim to Rawk Hawk's Poisoned Cake trick and thus dislikes eating said food as a result.
Field Tattle
Prince Mush's field Tattle is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch remake. When his Exhibition Match becomes available, he can be found in the Glitz Pit hallway.
- "That's Prince Mush. He's Jolene's younger brother. Poor guy's been through a lot, so it's great that he's able to return to the ring like this... He's all set for the Exhibition Match. I bet he's a tough opponent...so be ready for a doozy of a fight!"
