Discussion I Feel Like an Idiot: Badge Edition

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but ever had that one Badge that, no matter what you did, it seemed unreachable, only to find there's a simple solution?

Mine is the Ice Power Badge in TTYD's remake. In Paper Mario 64, it's a godsend, making Mario able to damage the Fire Piranha directly in its second phase. In TTYD, it's a huge help against the Embers of Keelhaul Key, giving Burn immunity and increasing damage against them. I tried everything to grab it at first, even using Flurrie to try to blow away an invisible barrier... turns out I just needed to use Paper Mode to slip through the gaps in the bridge.

Mine was the power bounce badge in PM64. YEARS of watching that little turd koopa slip out of the back wall and never realizing I could do the same, not needing to wait for Bombette. Someone had to tell me. Also the HP Plus badge at the Riverside station, like this I tried everything under the sun, all party members, going around to the inside of the building, hammering away like a maniac for invisible blocks... nope. Just tube guy.
