'''''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''''' (known as '''''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros.''''' in European languages) is an [[Genre#Role-playing games|RPG]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Being the fifth game in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, it features a crossover with the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. As such, the game uses the same engine and some of the same graphics as [[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|its predecessor]] and contains elements from ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. The plot revolves around [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] trying to stop [[Bowser]] and [[Paper Bowser]] from taking over the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] using their combined armies. This is the second ''Mario & Luigi'' game for the Nintendo 3DS, as well as the final original game in the series to be developed by [[AlphaDream]]. The game required 3,444 blocks (440.8 MB) if downloaded from the [[Nintendo eShop]]; however, the game was removed from the service after its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making it no longer possible for players to purchase the game, although players who purchased the title before this date can still play it as long as it is on their Nintendo 3DS system.

The subtitle of the game's name comes from the phrase "paper jam," which is a malfunction in a computer's printer or a photocopier or similar device occurring when sheets of paper become jammed inside, and "jam," an informal word for an issue or predicament. In regions using the title ''Mario & Luigi RPG'', games in the series would no longer be numbered starting with this game, instead using a subtitle.

==Story==
[[File:MLPJ story01.png|thumb|left|]]
The story begins with [[Luigi]] and a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] entering the attic of [[Peach's Castle]], looking for the source of a draft. Luigi is spooked by a [[Scaredy Rat]] and ends up bumping a bookshelf when he sneezes, opening a [[mysterious book]] that contains the ''Paper Mario'' world. The Paper characters are released into the ''Mario & Luigi'' world, spreading across the Mushroom Kingdom. [[Paper Toad]]s are seen landing near Toad Villages, while [[Bowser]]'s minions begin to meet with their paper counterparts. [[Paper Peach]] remains at Peach's Castle with [[Princess Peach]], while [[Paper Bowser]], [[Paper Bowser Jr.]] and [[Paper Kamek]] meet and decide to team up with [[Bowser]], [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Kamek]]. [[Mario]], Luigi and [[Starlow]] decide to help Paper Peach to find the Paper Toads spread across the Kingdom, as well as [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]]. They also meet up with [[Nabbit]], who steals most of the [[Bros. Attacks]] that the Toads had prepared, and [[Toadette]], who has taken interest in papercrafting and is inspired to make giant papercrafts with the help of the Paper Toads.

[[File:3DS Mario LuigiPaperJam scrn05 E3.png|thumb|upright=1.1]]

Mario and Luigi head to [[Sunbeam Plains]], where they come across two [[Paper Goomba]]s, whom they defeat and leave [[Crinkle Goomba|one]] with a crease. This Goomba returns with reinforcements, and form a [[Goomba Wheel]] that defeats the Bros. Shortly afterwards, Paper Mario arrives, defeats the Paper Goombas and saves Mario and Luigi, who team up with Paper Mario to rescue the Paper Toads. However, the Bowser duo arrive at Peach's Castle and kidnap Princess Peach and Paper Peach, leaving behind [[Petey Piranha]] to stop them. After his defeat, the Mario trio head to [[Bowser's Castle]] to rescue the Princesses, but the way to [[Doop Doop Dunes]] is blocked by a [[Papercraft Goomba]]. Toadette arrives with [[Papercraft Mario]], which she built with the Paper Toads the Mario Trio rescued, to destroy the [[Papercraft Megacrinkle Goomba]] blockade, allowing the trio to access Doop Doop Dunes. As they approach Bowser's Castle beyond the dunes, the [[Big Pokey]] [[Tower Power Pokey|Duo]] knock them off a bridge into the [[Doop Doop Dunes Grotto]]. After rescuing some more Paper Toads, they build a trampoline to reach the Pokeys and fight them to escape the grotto. The trio are blocked yet again by the Kamek duo and their Papercraft Kamek, at which point the trio are given Papercraft Luigi to destroy it with. However, right as they are about to reach the castle, they are knocked out by [[cannonball]]s that also take down the bridge to the castle. [[Wendy]], [[Roy]], [[Larry]], and [[Ludwig]] arrive and order the [[Chargin' Chuck|Chargin' Chuck Corps]] to take them away to the [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]], and the Bowser Jr. duo arrive to collect the book that contained Paper Mario's world, which Luigi dropped after being hauled away.
 
The trio escape their cell, and battle their [[Hammer Bro]] wardens to retrieve their items and [[Command Block]]s. The creased Goomba from earlier returns locked in a cell, and he gives the trio [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]]s in exchange for freeing him. The trio find out the arrested Toads are being forced to mine [[Fire Ore]] by Bowser and Paper Bowser in order to make an "ultimate papercraft," and soon run into a gate with a round-shaped indent in the center, before proceeding to fight against Roy and Wendy to escape the dungeon. Meanwhile, the Bowser Jr. duo annoy the Kameks into giving them a vacation to Bowser's Villa on [[Mount Brrr]] and take the Princesses with them. They also try to tell the Bowser duo about the book containing the Paper Mario universe, but are ignored.

The Mario trio, alongside the freed Toads find themselves stranded at [[Twinsy Tropics]]. The Paper Toads build a boat for everyone to return to Sunbeam Plains, and the trio returns to Peach's Castle, where [[Monologue Toad|a Toad]] tells them the Princesses were taken to Mount Brrr, which can be accessed through [[Gloomy Woods]]. Getting to the woods, the trio find new papercraft terrain that covers and changes the landscape, and even fight a paper version of [[Paper Petey Piranha|Petey Piranha]]. Arriving at the woods, they meet a starving [[Wiggler]] who claims to be the guardian of the forest. Paper Kamek soon appears to block the path with junk, which Wiggler considers littering. Feeding the Wiggler eleven berries and a [[Melon]] they win from a [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] in a race, the Mario trio use him to break the blockades. The Kamek duo tries to hinder them, with Paper Kamek cursing Wiggler and forcing him to battle the team. After he is defeated and Wiggler is freed, Wiggler turns into a [[Flutter]] and flies them to Mount Brrr. At Mount Brrr, the source of paper terrain is revealed to be a summit base, where [[King Bob-omb]], [[Iggy]], [[Lemmy]], and [[Morton]] use the cannons to blast the land with papercraft. With the help of Toadette, the Mario trio make it to a Toad Village, where they prepare to build Papercraft Peach to combat [[Papercraft Bowser Jr.]] and save the princesses. However, after destroying Papercraft Bowser Jr., the Bowser Jr duo manage to escape with the Princesses and the book unharmed. They accidentally leave behind a Red Medallion, which opens the gate in Twinsy Tropics Dungeon. In order to go there, they cross Doop Doop Dunes again.

While crossing Doop Doop Dunes, they meet up with the Creased Goomba again and travel to the dungeon with him. Along the way, the Mario Trio are ambushed by the Chargin' Chuck Corps and defeat them. Upon reaching the dungeon, the Goomba betrays Mario and Co. to the [[Fire Bro]]s, who have taken over as wardens; taking the Red Medallion with him. After getting the medallion back, they open the gate which leads to Bowser's Castle, and fight Larry and Ludwig, who try to stop them. Inside Bowser's Castle, the trio encounter the Kamek Duo and their new [[Papercraft King Boo]], which Morton and Lemmy pilot. Luckily, Toadette arrives on time with [[Papercraft Yoshi]]. After the trio's Papercraft is victorious, Kamek kidnaps Toadette to prevent the production of more Papercrafts, and prepares to build his own ultimate [[Papercraft Bowser]] with the help of his paper form. The group begin searching for Toadette and rescue her shortly afterward. Meanwhile, the Princesses escape and greet the team, but are shortly caught by the Bowser Jr. duo. They initially mean to fight, but after showing the book to them, they realize that the trio had no idea they had the book, so they flee instead. The Mario trio chases them down, but are fooled with a fake book the Bowser Jr. duo uses to escape. After deciding to fight the trio, they are promptly beaten. The Bowser duo come in and, enraged by this, lift the castle into the sky, turning the castle into [[Neo Bowser Castle]]. Mario and co. escape the castle, leaving the book behind. As they head back to Peach's Castle the Bowser duo take their revenge by destroying Peach's Castle with cannonballs. Toadette realizes she can build a staircase with the Paper Toads from the summit of Mount Brrr to reach Neo Bowser Castle.

The team begins to make their way through Gloomy Woods to get to Mount Brrr, but due to paper terrain blocking certain paths, end up on the haunted west side. Both Mario and Paper Mario are promptly kidnapped by [[King Boo]] and his [[Boo|minions]], leaving Luigi alone to find them. Luigi manages to find them, but he and Mario soon realize that "Paper Mario" is King Boo in disguise. Paper Mario is rescued and King Boo is defeated, and the trio meet up with Flutter once again, who flies the trio back to Mount Brrr. At Mount Brrr, the group rescues all the remaining Paper Toads to build the staircase, and proceed to venture to the summit of the mountain. At the Papercraft Base, King Bob-omb appears and proceeds to start a self destruction sequence, whom the trio defeat before the timer runs out. [[Lakitu]]s then arrive at the summit with a large delivery of Paper Toads to build a staircase to Neo Bowser Castle.

[[File:Victory parade ending M&LPJ.png|thumb|]]
At the castle, they find Toadette, who is defending Papercraft Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi. However, the Kameks release their new Papercraft Bowser, which burns them all to a crisp. Toadette mourns the loss of her work, but then realizes that she could build a Papercraft out of the same material, Fire Ore, which she asks the trio to collect around the castle. The collected ore is used to assemble [[Papercraft Fire Mario]], which then defeats Papercraft Bowser. The Bowsers and Kameks try to stall the Mario trio by dissassembling the bridge to the rest of the castle. As the Mario trio reassembles it, Lemmy, Iggy, and Morton activate a timer that charges up the castle's main cannon for a final blow to destroy any remains of Peach's Castle. The Mario trio manages to break the cannon before proceeding to the final area. 

Before they can face the Bowsers, the Kamek Duo fights them, but are defeated. In the final corridor, the Bowser duo sends multiple waves of troops, including Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Spinies, Ninjis, Hammer Bros., Spikes, Shy Guys, Broozers, and finally the Koopalings to finish off the trio. They defeat them all and proceed to challenge Bowser and Paper Bowser themselves, who reveal they plan to trap the Bros. in the now empty book and burn it, both of them subtly hinting that they each wish to trap the other one in as well. After the Bowsers take enough damage, Paper Bowser merges with his entire paper army to create a suit of armor for Bowser; creating [[Shiny RoboBowser]]. However, this is not enough, and the trio successfully defeat them. Bowser is sent flying off of Neo Bowser Castle, and plummets to the ground. Paper Bowser makes one last attempt to grab the book, but Paper Mario makes it there first, and the trio seal him in it once more.

Back at Peach's Castle, with the Princesses and Toads gathered at the entrance, the group reunites with their friends. Toadette orchestrates a Papercraft parade, where they tour the lands bringing the terrain and enemies back to the paper world. Afterward, Peach, Mario and Luigi say goodbye to Paper Mario, Paper Peach and the Paper Toads who return to their world. The game ends with Mario and Luigi going off to stop Bowser's plans once again.

==Gameplay==
The overall gameplay is mostly similar to the previous ''Mario & Luigi'' games, though with the addition of a new party member alongside Mario and Luigi: Paper Mario. Players control Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario simultaneously (Paper Mario using {{button|3ds|Y}}). Because the player now has two characters following after Mario, all three characters can be made to jump simultaneously with the {{button|3ds|X}} button, which also causes the three to flutter in the air briefly when held. By continuing to hold the button after jumping simultaneously, players can charge up a dash. All three characters also possess hammers. By using all three hammers in quick succession ({{button|3ds|A}}, {{button|3ds|B}}, and then {{button|3ds|Y}}), the trio unleashes a [[Trio Hammer]], or powerful shockwave, that can destroy large blocks. Other moves include the [[Trio Drill]], a reworked version of the [[Drill Bros.]]; the [[Trio Glider]], that acts like Mario's [[Plane Mode]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and the [[Trio Grab]], which can reach far distanced things and throw them.

In battle, players control all three members of the group. Paper Mario, in a first for the series, fights alongside but independently from Mario and Luigi, unlike the Baby Bros. in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the only other installment to feature characters fighting alongside the Mario Bros. This allows the trio to take three actions in one turn. While Mario and Luigi control similarly to the way they did in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', Paper Mario's abilities set him apart from the other two. Paper Mario is able to create copies of himself as a battle command, which increase the damage he can do in his attacks: He can land as many jumps as he has copies, and when he uses his hammer, the copies split and target all enemies on the field. Paper Mario loses a copy for each hit he takes, but can replenish them on his turn before using another battle command. His jump dodge allows him to flutter, letting him briefly stay in the air longer than Mario and Luigi can.

Players are able to use [[Bros. Attack]]s with Mario and Luigi, working like they did in the previous games. In addition, a new variation of special attacks called [[Trio Attack]]s can be performed with Paper Mario. These attacks have all three members attack enemies with the [[Trio Attack Hammer]] to paperize them before executing the attacks.

At certain points, the trio take part in Papercraft battles, which are the equivalent to the giant battles from the previous two games. Each time, they control different Papercraft characters, each with their own unique abilities, and each of the five battles end with a Papercraft Boss.

Another new addition are [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]]s, replacing the [[Badges|badge system]], also from the previous two games. The player creates a deck of 10 Battle Cards, one of which is played each turn. These range from boosting stats, dealing damage, or lowering an enemies stats or level. Each one needs a different amount of [[Star Point]]s to use. [[amiibo]] are compatible with the game, each giving the player a special set of support cards to use in battle. The cards reset once they all have been played.

==Locations==
[[File:MLPJ overworld map.png|thumb|upright=1.66|]]

The game is set in an iteration of the Mushroom Kingdom. In the original Japanese version, as well as in the Dutch, Korean and Portuguese localizations, all locations other than Peach's and Bowser's castles have names reflecting the theme of doubleness.

===Beans===
{{main|List of drill spots in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam}}
Beans return in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, acting the same way they did in both Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Like in the previous two games, the number of beans collected in each area can be viewed in the menu, this time from the Collection screen. Beans are dug up from X-marked circular spots on the ground and walls, and can be collected with the Trio Drill ability on the overworld. Beans can also be obtained after passing the Know-it-all Toad quizzes. In addition to this, the Wellington Boots return and cause enemies to drop beans when defeated. Finally, countering Petey Piranha's chase attack may give a bean.

DX Beans also return. The Bad Nabbit mission gives the player these beans after each battle with Nabbit, and the Paper Broozers' barrel-throwing attack may sometimes cause one or more of these beans to appear when countered.

===Lakitu Info Center===
{{main|Lakitu Info Center}}
[[File:MLPJLakituCenter.png|thumb|Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario talking to a Lakitu in a Lakitu Info Center.]]

The Lakitu Info Center plays an important role in this game. It is a cloud-shaped building found in the various Toad Towns. The player can talk to two [[Lakitu]]s: the one on the right offers to play new missions whose goals are catching Paper Toads. The player must obtain a certain number of them to progress through the story. The one on the left lets the player replay already cleared missions (but also minigames like Toad Quizzes) and also try Hard Mode of some of them (which make a mission harder by doing things like adding or reducing timers). By clearing a mission for the first time (Hard Mode included) the player can earn Medals. Obtaining a set number of Medals gives an exclusive [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]]. A pipe on the left of each building, which passage is freed once the player reaches the second Lakitu Center in [[Sunbeam Plains]], leads to the Arcade. Here, the player can buy Lakitea for 20 [[Coin]]s (which fully heals the party) and play in the Boss Battle Ring, the Papercraft Battle Ring and the Attackathlon, which, respectively, lets the player face harder variants of the game's bosses, replay Papercraft battles and play extended, more complex versions of the [[Trio Attack]], and also get rated by their performance.

===Toad Quiz===
Five Toad scholars, found in Sunbeam Plains, Doop Doop Dunes, Twinsy Tropics, Gloomy Woods, and Mount Brrr, host quizzes with trivial questions mainly about the game's story and characters. To earn a one-time prize (3 [[Bean]]s of a certain kind), the player must answer 3 questions out of 5 correctly—however, there is not a time limit. If the player keeps giving right answers, they also gain some Coins. The questions are picked randomly from a pool and their wrong answers may vary. From the aforementioned Lakitu Center the player can also play Hard Mode versions of the Toad Quizzes. While the answers are unchanged, the player must correctly answer to all 8 asked questions. To further increase the difficulty, the player must also face a 10-second timer for each question.

==Differences from other ''Mario & Luigi'' games==
*The battle ring is different: there are no turn limits, bosses do not have a different color palette, and there is no fee to play. However, the bosses are still stronger than they are in the main game.
*The first battle in the game is not against a boss and Luigi is also playable. Usually, for various contrived reasons (such as Luigi being asleep in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''), he is unplayable until later on. Additionally in the first battle, Mario and Luigi can use Bros. Attacks and Hammers. In the other games, they are unavailable until scripted events later on.
*This is the first game to not use badges, as they are replaced with [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]]s.
*Luigi is the first playable character in this game.
*Hammers are available at the start.
*This game keeps the same graphics as its predecessor.
*This is the first game where bonus points cannot be applied to stats upon leveling up.
*Lakitu's role is changed in this game. Instead of adding bonus points to stats (upon leveling up), he now gives the trio quests where the Bros. can help rescue the Paper Toads when needed.
*The tutorials are optional, whereas in previous games, they are mandatory. This carries over into the later remakes.
*No new characters or enemies are introduced to the franchise (with the sole possible exception of [[Shiny RoboBowser]], although he is a fusion of two characters rather than a completely new character). Most of them originate from the mainline ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series.
*This is the first game where [[Toadsworth]] is completely absent.
*This is the first game in which Bros. Attacks are obtained from a character (in this case, Nabbit) instead of [[Attack Piece]]s.
*There are seven ranks, more than ''Bowser's Inside Story''{{'}}s six and ''Dream Team''{{'}}s five. New ranks include the [[Boomerang Flower|Boomerang]] Rank and the [[Super Leaf|Leaf]] Rank.
*There are optional crosshairs under the Bros. when an enemy is attacking, as well as a peculiar animation of the character to be attacked preparing to defend himself. This is most likely due to three characters being on the battlefield at once and the fact that usual enemy indicators (such as kicking a certain way or flashing an eye) would not work against three heroes.
*This is the first game in the series to have Items under categories in the player's bag. It also does not list key items or provide descriptions for them.
*This is the first game in the series to have the three main playable characters all take a turn in battle.
*Players can block attacks by pressing {{button|3ds|x}} before the enemy hits them in an Emergency Block, similarly to the ''Paper Mario'' series. This carries over into the later remakes as well as into ''Brothership''.
*In addition to jumping on enemies or pounding them with a hammer to deal early damage at the start of a battle like in past games, Mario and co. can also dash into battle due to the effects of the [[Dash Socks]].
*This is the first game where Mario and Luigi do not gain the [[Spin Jump]] ability outside of battle.
*This is the first and only game to have items other than [[bean]]s underground.
*Unlike the previous two installments, in this game, the Bros. perform a fancy spin before landing the second jump in battle. Previously, they only landed straight down before backflipping off of the enemy.
*Luigi is not referred to as Green Stache due to Bowser finally learning his name at the end of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''.
*This is the first game to not feature the [[Beanish]] species at all.
*There are no [[Save Block]]s or [[Save Album]]s of any kind. The only way to save the game is by tapping the SAVE button in the lower left of the touch screen.
*There are no special locations where the Bros. can go depending on their [[rank]] as there were in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''.
*Command Blocks are slightly larger than the previous game, and the Bros. stand slightly more apart.
*This is the only game to not have any battles where only one character takes part.

==Staff==
{{main|List of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam staff}}
The game was directed by Shunsuke Kobayashi and co-directed by Hiroyuki Kubota. Kobayashi worked as the field designer for ''Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''Dream Team'' while Kubota directed the former. The music for this game was composed by [[Yoko Shimomura]] who also worked on previous ''Mario & Luigi'' titles. The papercraft battles were developed by Will Co., Ltd. The game's producers were Akira Otani, Toshiharu Izuno, and Yoshihiko Maekawa.

==Development==
In the past, the ''Mario & Luigi'' games primarily used two buttons, but the developers wanted to break new ground by making a third button active in combat. Characters were brainstormed until the developers thought of a second Mario, where the Paper Mario character would fit the third character role neatly. This implementation has then turn the idea of a crossover.<ref name="Miiting">{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20160320150632/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHk3QkSgUA|title=Hello, and welcome to this Miiting, in which we interview game developers on Miiverse! I'm MariChan, and I'll be your host today! I'll be putting questions directly to the developers of the Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam game, based on the questions that you kindly submitted to us. Today, I have with me Akira Otani, a producer from Nintendo, and from AlphaDream, we have director Shunsuke Kobayashi, composer Yoko Shimomura, battle designer Jun Iwazaki, co-director Hiroyuki Kubota, 3D designer... There really are a lot of you here today!|author=マリチャン|language=en|accessdate=July 3, 2024|publisher=Miiverse}}</ref> Though Paper Luigi was considered to be the fourth character, the developers thought that adding a fourth button for a fourth character would be too difficult and complicated to enjoy the game.<ref name="Miiting"/> According to Kobayashi, the trickiest thing to implement in a crossover was to make Paper Mario, a main character, stand out.

Though the first draft of the story involved the characters going back and forth between the Mushroom Kingdom and the paper world with many twists to the narrative, the developers thought it was too complex and that no one would enjoy it, so that it was rewritten many times to be simplified, where greater emphasis was placed on the character interactions between each other.<ref name="Miiting"/> Though emphasis has been placed on Paper Mario to make him stand out, the developers wanted equal attention to all characters, where they mention that it was a "big job" to balance everything. The developers also mentioned interest in adding original characters to the plot, but decided against it since they already have many characters to work with, and it would be too challenging to fit them at an appropriate appearance in the story.<ref name="Miiting"/>

When asked about the gameplay, battle designer Jun Iwasaki emphasized on narrowing the focus. His first thought was making use of three buttons, which were promptly brainstormed with lots of ideas on paper, until the developers chose the one that looked the best and tested them with a prototype.<ref name="Miiting"/> Hiroshi Ohata, the battle programmer, explained that battles are first created without animations and other visual effects. He has stated that they always make sure the gameplay is very responsive at a basic level, so they perform many experiments to test the gameplay elements. What works and what doesn't is based on people who playtest the game during development.

[[Yoko Shimomura]], the composer for the game's music, felt that since Paper Mario is joining the battle, she opted for a lighter, more upbeat tune to the game's soundtrack. When asked which music is her favorite, she stated that her songs are "like her children" and is unable to choose one, though she did say that Mountaintop Secrets, the background music for Mount Brrr, "has a certain fantastical atmosphere that isn't usually found in the Mario world, and having the opportunity to put a song with that kind of feel into a ''Super Mario'' game is something that's quite unique to the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, I think."<ref name="Miiting"/>

Natsuko Kemi, the game's graphics designer, emphasized on the details of the animations and graphics on the characters. For example, Luigi's walk cycles is based off his walk cycles in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.<ref name="Miiting"/>

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' has received generally positive reviews from professional critics, scoring a 76 based on 65 critics on Metacritic<ref>{{cite|url=www.metacritic.com/game/mario-and-luigi-paper-jam|title=''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''|publisher=Metacritic|language=en|accessdate=July 3, 2024}}</ref> and a 76.70% based on 44 reviews in GameRankings.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20150906122450/http://www.gamerankings.com/3ds/168675-mario-and-luigi-paper-jam/index.html|title=''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''|language=en|publisher=GameRankings|accessdate=July 3, 2024}}</ref> General praise has been given out to the battle system, gameplay, and the humor, as well as removing the amount of tutorials present in the game's predecessor, ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', though it has been criticized for the simple story and playing too safe for the franchise, as critics felt that the game lacked in originality in comparison to its predecessors, such as the lack of original characters outside of the paper characters, and that it didn't make enough use of its premise as a crossover with ''Paper Mario''. Lee Garbutt from God is a Geek, writer of one of the more positive reviews, giving the game a 9/10, praised the game's battle combat and the humor though stated that the game was too simple for hardcore JRPG fans and the amiibo implementation was superfluous.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Garbutt, Lee|date=November 30, 2015)|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20151201172039/http://www.godisageek.com/reviews/mario-and-luigi-paper-jam-bros-review|title=''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' Bros. Review|publisher=God is a Geek|accessdate=July 3, 2024}}</ref> Daan Koopman of Nintendo World report gave the game a 7.5/10. He called the game "cute" and praised the interactions between the characters, but criticized the pacing in the review, highlighting the Toad Rescue missions being the primary problem of being too excessive.<ref>{{cite|author=Koopman, Daan|date=November 30, 2015|url=www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/41577/mario-n-luigi-paper-jam-bros-3ds-review|title=''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' Bros. (3DS) Review|publisher=Nintendo World Report|accessdate=July 3, 2024}}</ref> On a more critical note, Mark Brown of Pocket Gamer UK gave the game a 6/10, criticizing the game for being too safe and also lamenting the lack of a diverse cast of characters, and failing to live up to the standards set by preceding games, though he notes how some charm is left and that the gameplay is fun.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Brown, Mark|date=November 30, 2015|url=www.pocketgamer.com/mario-luigi-paper-jam/mario-luigi-paper-jam-bros-a-paper-thin-experience|title=''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' Review|publisher=Pocket Gamer|accessdate=July 3, 2024}}</ref>

It introduces a solid list of worthy new mechanics, particularly building upon the battle system in some exciting new ways, and breaking exploration up with random quests. It's more of a mini RPG than ever, but doesn't quite nail it when it comes to environmental design and storytelling. In the end it's Paper Jam's simplicity that makes it a great starting point and an easy recommendation, but also holds it back from taking full advantage of more dimensions than ever before.''"

==Glitches==
{{main|List of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam glitches}}

===Explore as Paper Mario alone===
{{damage|1}}
[[File:ML PaperJam SoloPaperMario.jpg|thumb|Paper Mario in an area that should be inaccessable to him alone]]

By moving down and left into the wall in the Sunbeam Plains Paper Mario only area at the right angle, the player can clip into the wall and take Paper Mario out of bounds. If he walks back to the main map, he is then able to wander off his own.

In this state, he can fight enemies, use/collect items, buy items, and access various areas via Warp Pipes, but cannot get through cutscenes or use Trio abilities. If the player talks to the Toad who sells them ? cards, after buying one, the game softlocks, as Mario is not there to say "Oh yeah!"

Note that certain parts of the game world cannot be entered or escaped by Paper Mario on his own. As a result, the player should not save the game while in one of these areas, since it makes the file unusable.

===Stuck Papercraft Bowser===
If Papercraft Bowser is knocked over too near the edge of his arena, his body can get stuck in the wall. This makes him unable to move and his followers unable to pick him up. This lets the trio attack him without any fear of taking damage.

==Pre-release and unused content==
{{main|List of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam pre-release and unused content}}
In the footage of the game shown at E3 2015, Battle Cards are shown to be available to the player as soon as Petey Piranha's battle as opposed to the battle with Wendy and Roy in the final game. The number graphics on the cards are also different, being orange instead of yellow.

==References to other media==
*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': One of the Rank-Up bonuses is called "Jump Man".
*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': After it is revealed that the Princess Peach duo are on Mount Brrr, the story text reads "Our princess is in another...prison?"
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'': A portion of the music for the battle against Bowser and Paper Bowser is taken from the [[Airship Theme]] from this game.
*''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'': How Roy summons the Charging Chucks is a reference to the same thing Wendy does in this comic.
*''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'': The game ends with a parade of the characters going through the Mushroom Kingdom. Parts of the title and credits theme sound similar to the first eight notes of "[[Super Mario RPG Original Sound Version|Happy Adventure, Delightful Adventure]]". A Battle Card has the effect of possibly turning enemies into mushrooms, similarly to how some enemies could do the [[Mushroom (status effect)|same thing]] in this game, although they turn into consumable items rather than being afflicted with a status effect. The song "Mixed-Up Scramble" has a brief rearrangement of "Goodbye Geno" in the middle of the track.
*''[[Paper Mario]]'': The block ability originated from this game can be used as a "last resort" when counter-attacking in battles. The game utilizes Star Points for the Battle Card system, and these are similar in design to the ones found in Paper Mario. A [[melon]] is given to the bros. and Paper Mario by a Yellow Yoshi, which is a reference to what happens in [[Lavalava Island]]. Whenever a paper enemy gets defeated, it spins around and then explodes, like the enemies did in this game. One of the Expert Challenges is called "''Lucky Star''" which is a reference to this game's [[Lucky Star (Paper Mario)|item of the same name]]. Bowser's Castle rising out of the lava because of a platform underneath is very similar to when Bowser's Castle lifts Peach's Castle into the sky in this game. The record player that Paper Luigi listens to in the Music Player looks similar to the one found in [[Boo's Mansion]], and the music notes it produces are similar to the ones Paper Luigi produces when he sings at [[Mario Bros.' House|Mario's House]].
*''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'': Luigi's walk cycles are based on his walk cycles from this game.
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'': A cover of the battle theme from this game is used before Paper Mario joins the party. When Mario is about to talk to the two Peaches at the start of the game, Luigi occasionally jumps and can be talked to, referencing him in [[Toad Town Square]]. HP recovery blocks from the Japanese version return. One of the attacks used by the [[Kamek]] duo is similar to the [[Border Jump]] minigame.
*''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'': During the chase sequence with Petey Piranha, he uses an attack featuring the [[Graffiti|Goop]] from this game.
*''Super Mario'' sports games: At one point, Paper Peach thinks about changing her hair into a pony tail, with Peach stating it is more fitting for sports, referencing her design in most sports games after ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''.
*''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'': Both the Paper Airplane and Paper abilities return from this game. The first time Paper Mario meets Mario, he performs a [[Spring Jump]]. Paper Mario's blocking and KO'd animations are the same as from this game. The way the trio gains Star Points by performing the attacks as good as possible is similar to how Paper Mario and his partners has to "appeal" to the audience to refill the special meter, by also performing the moves as good as possible and by posing stylishly. The stage where the characters stand when they gain EXP after a battle is similar to the one from the battles in this game, down to the yellow stripes on the border of the curtains when they level up.
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'': A cover of the tutorial theme from this game can be heard, which in turn is an arrangement of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' The energy beams which unlocks pipes return. The cloud platforms return as well. In Twinsy Tropics Dungeon, Starlow breaks the [[fourth wall]] saying to the player, "Back to the adventure", referencing [[Stuffwell]]'s catchphrase. The puzzle involving the three pearl statues in Twinsy Tropics is similar to the puzzle involving the four Dry Bones statues in the [[Gritzy Desert]].
*''[[Super Paper Mario]]'': Paper Bowser's artwork seen at the end is from this game. Additionally, one of the Expert Challenges is called "Super Paper Mario!", referencing the title of this game.
*[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]: There is a mission in Neo Bowser Castle that goes under the name [[Final Smash]].
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'': A cover of "[[Inside the Castle Walls]]" from this game can be heard, which in turn is an arrangement of the same theme from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Some of King Boo's attacks resemble those from the [[Dark Star]]. His multiplying move resembles that of the Dark Star and his fire breathing attack resembles the [[Dark Satellmite]]'s beam attack.<ref>{{cite|author=BeardBear|timestamp=17:51|date=December 3, 2015|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuj0RKmBwcA&t=17m51s|title=''Mario & Luigi Paper Jam'' Walkthrough Part 20 {{!}}Gloomy Woods #3 & Boss King Boo|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 3, 2024}}</ref> When Roy and Wendy are fought, one of the moves they perform resembles the [[Koopa Corps]] special attack from this game.<ref>{{cite|author=Tealgamemaster|date=December 4, 2015|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWDcQoROp1E|language=en|title=''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' Bros. - Part 15: Roy & Wendy Boss Fight!|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 3, 2024}}</ref> In addition, Goombas attack in an identical manner to [[Goombule]]s and the Big Pokey has a similar attack to [[Calorite]]s, the latter of which can even be dodged in the exact same way if enough of its segments are missing. The smaller balloons in Luigi's [[Balloon Blast]] Bros. Attack resemble the special enzymes that appear inside the [[Giga-carrot]], complete with red, yellow, and blue variations.
*''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'': [[Iggy]]'s pet [[Chain Chomp]] returns when fighting the Koopalings. The [[Super Star (theme)|Super Star theme]] is reused in the Papercraft Yoshi segment.
*''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'': A rank appears based on the Boomerang Flower, as well as one based off of the Super Leaf's redesign from this game.
*''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'': Many of the elements from this game return. Thus, many graphics and enemies from this game and most of this game's background system is reused. When Paper Mario shows up for the first time, he jumps in the air and gets a yellow and white background, along with everything around him stopping for a second, similar to how characters are introduced in this game. One of the Toads in the Toad Village of Sunbeam Plains talks about wanting to become a traveling Toad, similarly to the disaster-prone [[Traveling Toad|one]] encountered in this game. Whenever a paper enemy is defeated, it turns gray, similar to how the enemies do if Paper Mario keeps attacking them after their HP has reached 0 in this game. Cardboard coins return from the Paper Mario universe as they are dropped from defeated paper enemies. Moving the system around whenever a shiny Battle Card is present on the lower screen causes the sparkle effect to move, depending on the angle the 3DS is held, the same exact thing that can be done with shiny stickers in this game.
*[[The Year of Luigi]]: To encourage Luigi while he is alone in the [[Gloomy Woods]], Starlow mentions he had a year named after him.
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'': The game runs on the same engine used in this game. As such, some of the game's graphics are reused, although most character sprites have been remade from scratch to match the new camera angle and have received new animations.<ref>''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' [[:image:MLDT Blue Toad sprite.png|Blue Toad sprite]]</ref><ref>''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' [[:image:MLPJToadBlue.png|Blue Toad sprite]]</ref> All of Mario and Luigi's battle animations are reused with the exception of new jumping in battle animations. One of the new Bros. Attacks, known as [[Mega Thwonk]], features Luigi as a giant, using the same model from the Giant Battles in this game. There are also two returning Bros. Attacks originally from ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''. Similar to giant battles, Papercraft battles allow players to win 4 items. The name [[Neo Bowser Castle]] is re-used. Bowser's theme in ''Paper Jam'' is a cover of his theme from this game, which in turn is an arrangement of the same theme from ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''. 
*''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'': Bullies and Chargin' Chucks retain their design from this game.
*[[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]: Character emblems from these games are used for Papercraft characters and Toads.
*''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'': Toadette often references her adventures in this game in her dialogue, even outright saying the game's title - ''"I've tracked a few treasures in my day, sirs."'' Also, some of her quotes have been reused.

==References in later games==
*''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'': The [[Koopalings]] get paper counterparts as foreshadowed by [[Roy|Roy Koopa]]. The characters retain their paper outlines in this game, and stacked enemies appear like in this game.
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'': This game's minigame music for [[Star 'Stache Smash]] is an arrangement of "Do It Now!". The Emergency Guard, Assist, and Easy Mode all return in this game each functioning the same.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'': The songs "Time's Running Out!", "Mixed-Up Scramble", and "Attack and Run!" appear in this game. Papercraft Mario makes an appearance as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. During [[Smash Taunt#Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]] for [[Piranha Plant]], Viridi mentions [[Paper Fire Piranha Plant|Paper Fire Piranha]]s and [[Paper Petey Piranha]].
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'': One of Bowser Jr.'s artwork is reused from this game.
*''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'': The brothers can flutter when dodging with jumps like Paper Mario when using the Easy-Peasy Counters Battle Plug, and [[Bomb Bud]]s return. In one sequence, Snoutlet asks if Mario or Luigi can "turn flat and slide through gaps", referencing Paper Mario's ability to slide between small spaces, both in this game itself and the overall ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. The [[Yoo Who Cannon]]'s finisher resembling a giant bowling ball that strikes opponents resembles the rolling ball from [[Toad Trail]]'s finisher before executing an "Excellent" rating, albeit larger.

==Notes==
*This is the first game where dialogue between the [[Koopalings]] can be seen, the first ''Super Mario'' game published by Nintendo since the ''[[Mario Discovery Series]]'' to give spoken dialogue to the Koopalings and the first one since ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' to call them "Koopalings" instead of "Bowser's Minions" in the British English version of the game.
*The top of the North American box art has a Paper Goomba in place of the fourth Paper Toad shown on the other international box art.
*If Bowser's Castle and Neo Bowser Castle are considered the same location, then every major location is visited at least twice in the story.
*In the world moves section of Guide, despite "Action Icons" and "Hammer" being listed as two separate tutorials, they are both the same tutorial, with some minor differences in Starlow's dialogue.
