Third-Degree Card

The Third-Degree Card is a key item which appears in Paper Mario.
==History==
The Third-Degree Card is obtained after defeating The Master in Toad Town Dojo for the first time. The Third-Degree Card has no gameplay purpose, as it only purpose is to acknowledge that Mario has defeated The Master once.
The Third-Degree Card is also held by a penguin in Shiver City. According to Goombario, this penguin loves to show off his degree to others and compare his to theirs. If Mario talks to this penguin while having the Third-Degree Card of his own, the penguin would be impressed and say he and Mario are equals. This is quite the accomplishment as stated above, this degree is only given to those that have defeated The Master in his fight encounter. Although the penguin hasn't earned the Fourth-Degree Card, he is still strong enough to defeat The Master once by himself.
