'''Trio Moves''' are the field moves in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. Most of these moves are invented by Paper Mario when the Mario Bros. are in a problematic situation. There are a total of five moves, and are all used (except for Trio Jump) by selecting the appropriate icon (either by touching it or using {{button|3ds|L}} and {{button|3ds|R}}), then pressing {{button|3ds|A}}, {{button|3ds|B}} and {{button|3ds|Y}} in succession.

The Trio Jump is technically the first Trio Move learned by the Mario Bros. (in [[Sunbeam Plains]]): however, it's learned in a calm situation (as opposed to a tricky one) and also works differenely.

No matter what icon is the player selecting, they can press {{button|3ds|X}} to activate it. The Trio Jump makes all the Mario Bros. jump at the same time, and also hover for a short while. This is useful to jump over small cliffs without having to press {{button|3ds|A}}, {{button|3ds|B}} and {{button|3ds|Y}}, but also to control jumping better. Ultimately, the Trio Jump can reach further horizontal distance than ordinary [[Jump]]s, but doesn't go as far vertically: this can easily be seen, as the player is unable to hit any [[? Block]] while Trio Jumping, and is also unable to jump over certain cliffs that normal Jumps that reach.

The Trio Hammer is the second Trio Move learned (first if one does not count the amibgous Trio Jump), introuduced in [[Doop Doop Dunes]]. [[Mario]] starts using his [[Hammer]], followed by [[Luigi]] and Paper Mario: they result is a large shockwave, that can have many effects. The main effect is breaking large, cracked, gray rocks that a signle Hammer swing is unable to break. It can also send cacti found in Doop Doop Dunes's grotto in the distance, and flip papery flowers. Doing the latter awards the player [[Coin]]s or [[5 Gold Coin]]s (depending on the location the player is in) per flower if all of them are flipped with a single use of Trio Hammer. Additionally, certain enemies, like [[Spiney]]s, flip over is Trio Hammer near them (sometimes exposing a weak point). This Trio Move can also be left unfinished by not pressing {{button|3ds|Y}}. This has little utility, except when the player wants to send just 2 cati away in Doop Doop Dunes' grotto instead of the ususal 3.

Additionally, rare paper terrain with a ? Block pattern over it can be dug over to recieve either [[Item]]s or [[Clothing]]. The player must remember, however, they can't safely pass under enemies this way: encounters will still be triggered.

In battle, a somewhat similar move to a Trio Aeroplane is used in two occasions: however, it works quite differently from Trio Aeroplane. One is during an Airplane Guard, where Paper Mario aids Mario and Luigi in dodging powerful attacks folded into an airplane while being chased by a boss. The other is an "attack" made by [[Bowser Jr.]] and Paper Bowser Jr.: the two challenge Paper Mario in a flying contest, which pits him against a Paper Bowser Jr. folded in an airpldane. Whoever goes the furthest wins. Paper Mario can elevate about a dozen of times, each time lower than before. The loser party is inflicted heavy damage.

==Trivia==
*The [[Spin Jump]] makes no appearance in this game. However, it appears to have been (situationally) replaced by Trio Grab.

The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.

Trio Moves are the field moves in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Most of these moves are invented by Paper Mario when the Mario Bros. are in a problematic situation. There are a total of five moves, and are all used (except for Trio Jump) by selecting the appropriate icon (either by touching it or using L Button and R Button), then pressing A Button, B Button and Y Button in succession.

Trio Jump

The Team Jump in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.
Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario Trio Jumping on Mount Brrr.

The Trio Jump is technically the first Trio Move learned by the Mario Bros. (in Sunbeam Plains): however, it's learned in a calm situation (as opposed to a tricky one) and also works differently.

No matter what icon is the player selecting, they can press X Button to activate it. The Trio Jump makes all the Mario Bros. jump at the same time, and also hover for a short while. This is useful to jump over small cliffs without having to press A Button, B Button and Y Button, but also to control jumping better. Ultimately, the Trio Jump can reach further horizontal distance than ordinary Jumps, but doesn't go as far vertically: this can easily be seen, as the player is unable to hit any ? Block while Trio Jumping, and is also unable to jump over certain cliffs that normal Jumps that reach.

Trio Jump shares the same button with using the Dash Socks: by holding down X Button and also a direction on the Circle Pad, the player is able to start dashing.

Trio Hammer

The Trio Hammer in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.
Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario using Trio Hammer to break a cubic rock on Doop Doop Dunes.

The Trio Hammer is the second Trio Move learned (first if one does not count the ambiguous Trio Jump), introduced in Doop Doop Dunes. Mario starts using his Hammer, followed by Luigi and Paper Mario: they result is a large shockwave, that can have many effects. The main effect is breaking large, cracked, gray rocks that a single Hammer swing is unable to break. It can also send cacti found in Doop Doop Dunes's grotto in the distance, and flip papery flowers. Doing the latter awards the player Coins or 5 Gold Coins (depending on the location the player is in) per flower if all of them are flipped with a single use of Trio Hammer. Additionally, certain enemies, like Spinies, flip over is Trio Hammer near them (sometimes exposing a weak point). This Trio Move can also be left unfinished by not pressing Y Button. This has little utility, except when the player wants to send just 2 cacti away in Doop Doop Dunes' grotto instead of the usual 3.

Trio Grab

The Trio Grab in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.
The team stretching to grab a bridge with Trio Grab in Twinsy Tropics.

The Trio Grab is the third Trio Move learned, in Twinsy Tropics' dungeon. Luigi, Paper Mario (folding into a cylinder) and Mario form a totem and then stretch to reach faraway objects, including poles to cross a chasm, essentially replacing the Spin Jump from previous Mario & Luigi games. The player can't stretch diagonally, but just in four directions. After pressing the buttons, the Mario Bros. automatically perform the move. This can be done again by pressing Y Button, or the formation can be cancelled by pressing either A Button or B Button.

Under the formation the Mario Bros. are significantly taller, but also move slower than normal. Examples of objects that can be reached by this Trio Move include Paper Toads stuck in a bubble, bridges to connect two pieces of land, and poles to cross over water or gaps.

Trio Drill

The Trio Drill in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.
Paper Mario forming the Trio Drill on Mount Brrr.

The Trio Drill is the fourth Trio Move learned, done on Mount Brrr. Mario and Luigi start spinning, with Paper Mario folding into a cone and joining them, to dig underground. The Mario Bros. can then move underground to pass under impossibly high-to-reach walls. By holding Y Button, the player can dash underground. This can be useful to break rocks underground and, more commonly, start moving over diggable walls: if there's an opening, this can also be done to exit walls (or cross a gap to another). Like with Trio Grab, A Button and B Button end the Trio Move.

The move has other applications other than the ones listed above. By moving into "X" spots, the player can receive Beans of various kinds and 50 Gold Coins or, more rarely, 100 Gold Coins. Additionally, rare paper terrain with a ? Block pattern over it can be dug over to receive either Items or Clothing. The player must remember, however, they can't safely pass under enemies this way: encounters will still be triggered.

Trio Aeroplane

Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario about to use Trio Aeroplane in Bowser's Castle.

The Trio Aeroplane is the final Trio Move in the game, learned in Bowser's Castle. Mario does an high, straight jump: Luigi then jumps over his shoulders, and the brothers grab Paper Mario, folded into an airplane, to start gliding. Like with previous Trio Attacks, A Button and B Button can cancel the move. By pressing Y Button, the team can elevate in the air up to three times, albeit this yields a faster falling speed than before. This move can be very useful to cross large gaps a Trio Jump can't reach or, with proper spacing, reach platform too high for a normal Jump.

In battle, a somewhat similar move to a Trio Aeroplane is used in two occasions: however, it works quite differently from Trio Aeroplane. One is during an Airplane Guard, where Paper Mario aids Mario and Luigi in dodging powerful attacks folded into an airplane while being chased by a boss. The other is an "attack" made by Bowser Jr. and Paper Bowser Jr.: the two challenge Paper Mario in a flying contest, which pits him against a Paper Bowser Jr. folded in an airplane. Whoever goes the furthest wins. Paper Mario can elevate about a dozen of times, each time lower than before. The loser party is inflicted heavy damage.
