Trio Whirligig
Trio Whirligig is the third Trio Attack in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Like the others, it becomes available for Paper Mario to use after being delivered by some Toads. It costs 11 BP and targets all enemies at once.
Once the attack is initiated, a giant cylinder appears with the enemies floating down inside as pieces of paper. After pressing 
, Paper Mario folds into a propeller, which Mario and Luigi grab onto.
Making their way down, the player has to move them around the cylinder with 
to catch the enemies and pass through the middle of the rings on the descent. Each ring speeds up their fall, and they then need to press 
to blast through the paper platforms at the bottom. Smashing through one gets an OK rating, two a Good Rating, three a Great Rating and pressing at the very bottom an Excellent rating (setting the enemies on fire in the process, however, this does not do critical damage to paper enemies). Pressing in the process of falling down will give a speed boost to dive down. In Attackathon, the boost will give the player bonus points for each dive the player does.
