Trio Grab

The Trio Grab is a move learned in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. It can be used to grab objects the trio cannot reach, or pull back hooks to open bridges.

During the events of the game, Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario are taken to Bowser's dungeon. They find a large door that can only be unlocked with a key that rests on the other side of a short rickety bridge, so rickety that there is a sign with a warning. When the player attempts to cross it, the bridge breaks and the trio are sent plummeting, but Mario and Luigi climb up easily with Paper Mario in the middle. This gives birth to the Trio Grab, which can be activated when the player presses and presses, , and then  to form into a stack. Paper Mario can then press to grab items in front of them. To return to a horizontal line, the player must press or.

After the Trio Grab is learned, the icon must be pressed twice or the icon can just be touched on the bottom screen to activate the hammer.
