Paper Mario is the incarnation of Mario that appears alongside Mario himself and Luigi in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Alongside various other paper characters, Paper Mario came out of a book containing a whole paper world. Mario was previously depicted as Paper Mario in the four Paper Mario series games.
History
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
Paper Mario makes his debut as a wholly unique character from Mario in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. He first appears by saving Mario and Luigi from the threat of Paper Goombas. He agrees to help his three-dimensional counterpart and brother gather the Paper Toads and defeat Bowser and Paper Bowser, returning all Paper characters to the book from whence they came.
Whenever the trio encounters an obstacle, Paper Mario will usually be the character to come up with a solution, being the ones to develop the Trio Moves for use on the field. He is also given a distinct role during the Gloomy Woods, where he and his counterpart are kidnapped by King Boo, and Luigi must face his fears to rescue them. Paper Mario is rescued second, and he is held hostage during the battle with King Boo.
Once the two princesses have been rescued and the Bowsers defeated, Paper Mario returns to his book, where he immediately re-enters battle with Paper Bowser.
In battle, Paper Mario uses different mechanics to Mario and Luigi. He is the only character able to perform Trio Attacks, in lieu of using Bros. Attacks. He is also the only character able to employ the Copy Block, making six copies of himself (eight and ten if Rank-Up Bonuses are used) to take hits and increase the damage he is able to deal. Thirdly, his dodge commands are more versatile than Mario's and Luigi's, able to hover in the air longer while using a Jump Dodge and swinging multiple hammers during a Hammer Dodge. His weaknesses include his low defence and HP, his position in formation, the high BP cost of his attacks, a weakness to fire based moves, and the fact that if either Mario or Luigi faints, he is unable to employ any Trio Attacks, while Mario and Luigi can perform Bros. Attacks if Paper Mario has fainted.

Trivia
- When Paper Mario joins the team in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, the battle theme changes from the Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga battle theme cover to the battle theme for the game itself. However the Superstar Saga battle theme will not play during battles when he is kidnapped in Gloomy Woods.
