Easy Mode

Easy Mode is a mode in various Mario games that lower the difficulty level of normal gameplay.

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
In Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, the player can access Easy Mode by pressing on the File Select screen. Super Mario will become Small Mario and the words "Easy Mode" will appear in the corner. There are less enemies in levels, and some mini-bosses such as Floating Faces take one hit to be defeated.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
An Easy Mode is also present in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. The mode will make Paper Toads much easier to catch along with side-quests being much easier. It also lowers all POW and DEF stats for enemies and bosses (but doesn't affect HP or Speed) and makes Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario stronger, thereby making battles much easier, although the trio earns five less EXP from battles and aren't allowed to do Expert Challenges.
