Paper Mario joins Mario & Luigi

Paper Mario jumps out of a book and into the bizarre adventures of Mario & Luigi, resulting in hilarious, and dangerous, hijinks! Become the superstar team of Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario to take on quests, take down enemies, and untangle these two unique universes in this playful new entry in the Mario & Luigi series.

Features:

• Characters from the Paper Mario universe – including Paper Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser and Toad – jump out of a book and into the world of Mario & Luigi, resulting in hilarious and dangerous hijinks, trademarks of the Mario & Luigi franchise.
• Take advantage of Paper Mario‘s unique skills, like slipping through cracks, making copies of himself and folding himself up.
• Take down Bowser’s army of dastardly villains, solve puzzles and embark on quests as a brand-new trio of heroes.
• Got rhythm? Show off the moves of your giant papercraft by charging it up with dance and strut your way through battles with other giant papercrafts from Bowser’s army.

Gameplay

While the game is a crossover; gameplay generally lends itself more toward the Mario & Luigi style of gameplay; in addition to Mario and Luigi, who still use the same button inputs to control, players also control Paper Mario using the Y button. The Mario & Luigi battle system is also used; all three characters can attack by jumping and with a hammer, though Paper Mario is given a special ability: Copy, which allows several Paper Marios to appear alongside the original, increasing his attack power and defense. In addition, while Bros. Attacks also return, one of Paper Mario's abilities also allows all three to perform a Trio Attack, in which enemies are smashed with a giant cardboard hammer and attacked inside.

This game is also confirmed to be receiving amiibo support. The game is only compatible with the amiibo of Mario characters, and scanning them unlocks cards that can be used in battle.
