Papercraft

Papercrafts are objects found within Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam that are constructed by Toadette. They are used by Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario in Papercraft battles; which serve as the counterpart to the Giant Bowser battles from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and the Giant Luigi battles from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Toadette, with the help of the Paper Toads that Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario save, builds Papercrafts to help Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario on their quest when confronted by enemy Papercrafts. They can be heard creating the Papercrafts in the workshop at the castle.

Toadette's Papercrafts
Toadette builds a total of five Papercrafts throughout the course of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. They are, in order; Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, and Fire Mario. With the exception of Mario, each Papercraft has a unique trait that it can use in battle.

Papercraft Mario
Papercraft Mario is the first Papercraft to be built by Toadette for the trio to use. After she studies the Papercraft Goomba that Paper Kamek places to block the entrance to Doop Doop Dunes, she creates a papercraft of Mario with the help of Paper Toads in the workshop of Peach's Castle. It is used in the battle against the two Papercraft Goombas and Papercraft Megacrinkle Goomba in Sunbeam Plains. This Papercraft has no outstanding abilities or attacks.

Papercraft Luigi
Papercraft Luigi is the second Papercraft constructed by Toadette. It is utilized in the battle against Papercraft Kamek in Doop Doop Dunes. This Papercraft features a hammer that allows it to jump on spiked Papercraft enemies, like Pokeys. After the Papercraft Pokeys are defeated, Paper Kamek and Kamek battle the trio with a Papercraft in their own likeness.

Papercraft Peach
Papercraft Peach is the third Papercraft used by the trio. It is featured in the battle against Papercraft Bowser Jr. at Mount Brrr. Papercraft Peach has a parasol, allowing it to float in the air when thrown, before slamming down onto enemy Papercrafts. It also holds its parasol in front of itself when it dashes, allowing it to deflect enemy projectiles.

Papercraft Yoshi
Papercraft Yoshi is the fourth Papercraft to be utilized by the trio. It is used to battle Papercraft King Boo at Bowser's Castle. It can perform a ground pound which can stun enemies, and its long tongue can grab distant objects; such as poles, which lets it cross lava, and enemy Papercrafts, letting it attack floating enemies.

Papercraft Fire Mario
Papercraft Fire Mario is the fifth and final Papercraft to be built by Toadette. It is constructed using Fire Ore found in Neo Bowser Castle, and is used to battle Papercraft Bowser. Unlike the other Papercrafts, Papercraft Fire Mario can shoot fireballs, which it can utilize as an alternate method of attack, allowing it to hit far-off enemy Papercrafts.

Boss Papercrafts
There are a total of five Papercraft bosses, and twelve Papercraft enemies, in the game. With each boss having it's own arena during Papercraft battles. Each of Toadette's five Papercrafts are used only once, each in a different battle respectively.

Megacrinkle Goomba
The Papercraft Megacrinkle Goomba is the first Papercraft boss faced by Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario. It is piloted by Crinkle Goomba, and has no special talents or abilities. It is encountered and fought in Sunbeam Plains, and both Papercraft Goombas and Mini-Goombas are also encountered. Papercraft Mario is used in the battle against it. Its name is a likely a reference to the Megasparkle Goomba encountered in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, and the crown found on its head resembles the first Royal Sticker from the game. Their names are very similar as well.

Kamek
Papercraft Kamek is the second Papercraft boss fought by the trio. It is piloted by both Kamek and his paper counterpart. Papercraft Kamek features a magical shield that prevents the player from rushing into it, as well as damaging Papercraft Luigi. The trio must wait until the shield disappears for a short time after the Papercraft teleports or uses certain attacks before attempting to damage it. It is fought in Doop Doop Dunes, and is accompanied by Papercraft Goombas and Papercraft Pokeys. Toadette's Papercraft Luigi is used to battle it.
