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.

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.
