Template:Infobox Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam (Mario & Luigi RPG: Paper Mario MIX in Japan and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros. in Europe & Australia) is a game in the Mario & Luigi series for Nintendo 3DS that crosses over with the Paper Mario series. The game is expected to release in late 2015 and early 2016 (depending on the region).

Story

The story begins when Luigi accidentally knocks over a book found deep in Peach's Castle, holding the Paper Mario world within. This ultimately releases the paper characters into the Mario & Luigi world, spreading across the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser and Paper Bowser, despite some disagreements between one another, decide to team up, combine their armies and kidnap their respective Princess Peach. With the aid of Paper Mario, Mario and Luigi must set off to rescue the Paper Toads, defeat both Bowsers and send Paper Bowser and his army back to the Paper Mario world. [1][2]

Gameplay

Overall gameplay is mostly similar to the previous Mario & Luigi games, though with the addition of a new party member alongside Mario and Luigi, Paper Mario. Players control Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario simultaneously (Paper Mario using Y Button). Because the player now has two characters following after Mario, all three characters can be made to jump simultaneously with the X Button button, which also causes the three to flutter in the air briefly when held. This is, presumably, to make jumping up ledges less tedious than pressing each character's button individually. By continuing to hold the button after jumping simultaneously, players can charge up a dash. All three characters also possess hammers. By using all three hammers in quick succession (A Button, B Button, and then Y Button), the trio will unleash a powerful shockwave that can destroy large blocks.

The E3 demo featured multiple quests where the player has to find and, in some cases, rescue a number of Paper Toads in an area. It is likely that such quests will be in the final game, but it is unknown what purpose they will serve or if the Toads will be treated as collectibles like the Pi'illo folk in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.

In battle, players control all three members of the group. Paper Mario, in a first for the series, fights alongside but independently from Mario and Luigi, unlike the Baby Bros. in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, the only other installment to feature characters fighting alongside the Mario Bros. This allows the player to take three turns with their party. While Mario and Luigi control similarly to the way they did in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Paper Mario's abilities set him apart from the other two. Paper Mario is able to create copies of himself as a battle command, which increase the damage he can do in his attacks: He can land as many jumps as he has copies, and when he uses his hammer, the copies will divide and conquer by targeting all enemies on the field. Paper Mario loses a copy for each hit he takes, but can replenish them on his turn before using another battle command. His jump dodge allows him to flutter, letting him briefly stay in the air longer than Mario and Luigi can. Players are able to use Bros. Attacks with Mario and Luigi, working like they did in previous games. Two of these attacks (3D Red Shell and Fire Flower) return from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, while two new Bros. Attacks are confirmed ; one features a rocket, while another is based on the drill move in the game. As well as the Bros. Attacks, a new variation called Trio Attacks that are performed with Paper Mario. These attacks will have all three members attack enemies with a giant cardboard hammer to flatten them before executing the attacks.

amiibo will be compatible with the game, giving the player each a special support card to use in battle.[3]
