Mario & Luigi: Paper Mix

Mario & Luigi: Paper Mix is a 2026 Nintendo Switch RPG game. It is an enhanced remake of the 2015 Nintendo 3DS title, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and it is the third remake in the Mario & Luigi series and it is the ninth instalment overall. Developed by Good-Feel and Intelligent Systems, the game predominantly uses the Nintendo 3DS game's sprites and models with a smear effect on the textures, and a faster frame rate, causing it to resemble an upscale. Other changes include plot points in the story being streamlined with minor changes to the overall battle system.
== Changes ==
=== Story ===
* Paper Mix's dialogue is based purely on the original Japanese version of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam where there is much less at taking jabs at the usual tropes in the story of a Mario game and a bigger focus on what is happening in a given situation. 
* Although Starlow appears as a character in the story, her role is given to Paper Luigi who as well as acting as a tutorial master, acts as "Mr. Exposition" when the story demands it but has far more humorous quirks, compared to Starlow. 
* Bowser and Paper Bowser do not kidnap the two Princess Peaches as their goal is aimed towards rebuilding the Mushroom Kingdom in their own image using the power of the Star Rod, starting off with destroying Peach's Castle. With the destruction of the castle being the thing to kick off the plot.
** Starlow and her family along with the Star Spirits have been captured by the two Bowsers because of this.
* The concept of Battle Cards is introduced to the story and gameplay by a Toad at the souvenir shop in Peach's Castle. The Toad points out that there are a total of 70 Cards that can be collected. 10 from the Card shops in the Mushroom Kingdom, 18 from Lakitu Star Medals and 42 Shinny variants that can be found from defeating specific enemies.
* Papercraft battles have been omitted from the story, with them being designated to being optional minigames in the Lakitu Info Center's arcade. Any tasks surrounding the battles have been omitted as a result.
=== Location Names ===
The location names except for Peach's Castle, Doop Doop Dunes, Twinsy Tropics, Bowser's Castle are based off of the original Japanese version of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. as they focus on the theme of doubleness.
* Pairplains (originally Sunbeam Plains)
* FoldTwo Forest (originally Gloomy Woods)
* Mount Polarity (original Mount Brr)
=== Gameplay ===
* The trio no longer partake in minigames that revolve around them rescuing Paper Toads. They collect Paper Toads within the overworld itself and can get hints of where the Toads are located from the various Lakitu Info Centers in the game's areas.
* Attack Blocks are found in the overworld, being used to unlock the game's Bros. Attacks and replacing Nabbit in the story.
* The Bros. Attacks are shared between Mario and Luigi, with the ones from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team being omitted and replaced with two new ones. 
** The updated list of Bros. Attacks is:
*** 3D Red Shell
*** 3D Green Shell
*** Fire Flower
*** Drill Shell
*** Rocket Blast
*** Cannonball Chuck
*** Balloon Blast
*** Toad Trail
*** Mega Twonk
*** Shine Sprite Slash
* Battle Cards are selected from a Command Block with three cards on it to symbolise it.
* Players can select which stat to upgrade after levelling up.
* Save Blocks are placed beside HP blocks.
* Character Cards and any amiibo functionality are omitted.
* Unlike the original, where Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario worked separately and didn't respond to each other's demises, here they act in the same vein as with Mario and Luigi.
** If Paper Mario falls, one of the remaining brothers will pick him up and dodge the attack with him. To compensate different attack pattern, bro who holds him will be able to flutter a little bit, to avoid the attack.
** If Mario or Luigi fall, Paper Mario will grab one of them, and help them dodge the attack. 
** If two characters fall, the other one will have to avoid the attacks for both of them, but at different turns.
