[[File:MLPJTrioAttack.jpg|thumb|Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario about to attack [[Goomba]]s with a Trio Attack.]]
'''Trio Attacks''' are special methods of attacking, like [[Bros. Attack]]s, that are utilized by [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. These attacks require [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and Paper Mario to work together to attack enemies.

Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario learn five Trio Attacks through their adventure. Trio Attacks use up Paper Mario's [[Bros. Point]]s; each one uses between 6 and 15 points. They are brought to the Bros. by [[Toad (species)|Toads]] as a special delivery from [[Princess Peach's Castle|Peach's Castle]] after certain points in the story have been passed.

When used, they cause the trio to use the [[Trio Attack Hammer]] to flatten the enemies into paper form before performing the chosen attack. Almost all Trio Attacks (with the exception of [[Trio Racquet]]) are initiated by Paper Mario (The {{button|3ds|Y}} button). The majority of the attacks, with the exception of [[Trio Kite]], target all enemies simultaneously, similarly to the [[Luiginary Attack]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Trio Attacks are also affected by any status effects that Paper Mario may have at that point, with certain ones limiting the amount of copies that can be in play at any one time.

During the final battle, [[Shiny RoboBowser]] is able to counter any Trio Attack while his armor is still in good enough shape.  He also uses a Trio Attack-style attack immediately afterwards if Mario and the gang try to hit him with one when his helmet isn't destroyed.

Additionally, the [[Attackathon]] found in the [[Arcade (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|arcade]] at the [[Lakitu Info Center]] features a Trio Attack endurance arcade game.

==List of Trio Attacks==
The Target column's descriptions stand for the following:
*'''Single''': The attack targets one enemy, sparing that enemy's allies.
*'''All''': The attack hits all enemies.
*'''Random''': The attack targets enemies randomly.
*'''Choose''': The player has to aim manually, but can change targets during the attack.

|''As each meteor drops, you can control it by using the <font color=blue>Circle Pad</font color>. The meteors generate wind that you can use to collect the enemies in one spot. For maximum impact, use the wind to gather all the enemies in the <font color=blue>central crater</font color>. Once they're in the <font color=blue>crater</font color>, the enemies won't blow around much, so it's easier to hit them. As the meteors get close, start aiming directly for the enemies. Press each character's button to jump off his meteor at the last second. Hitting all of the enemies at once deals huge damage! If each meteor hits an enemy, you'll get a bonus attack! Press {{button|3ds|A}}, {{button|3ds|B}}, and {{button|3ds|Y}} to jump.''
