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.

Papercraft Mario
Papercraft Mario is the first Papercraft to be built by Toadette for the trio to use, it is used in the battle against the 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 utilised 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.

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 can also deflect enemy projectiles by dashing (due to the parasol).

Papercraft Yoshi
Papercraft Yoshi is the fourth Papercraft to be utilised by the trio. It is used to battle Papercraft King Boo at Bowser's Castle. It has several unique abilites; including a ground pound, which can stun enemies, as well as using it's tongue to 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, as well as weaken them.

Enemy Papercraft
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.
