Trio Kite
Trio Kite is the second available Trio Attack for Paper Mario in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. It becomes available for Paper Mario to use after completing all initial Paper Toad missions in Doop Doop Dunes. It costs 8 BP to use, and hits a single target.

After running as much distance as possible, Paper Mario will walk up the string of the kite, before he and his copies strike the enemy attached to the kite with a well-timed press of . The game measures the amount of distance Paper Mario falls while slamming the enemy into the ground up to a maximum of 2,000.
With the height of about 1,400 above (also the height when the number's texture changed), and well-timed with Paper Mario hammer smashing, it will yield "Excellent!".
