Mario and Luigi Paper Jam - Recut!

Mario and Luigi Paper Jam - Recut is a remake of the 3ds game Mario and Luigi Paper Jam. This time, it is on the Nintendo Switch, and features changed content from the original, to better fit with what the fans of both the Mario & Luigi series and Paper Mario series would've wanted, such as incorporating more of the original characters from both series.
== Changes from the Original ==
* The main change is the main antagonist of the game. In this remake, when the Paper People are freed from their book, residents of The Underwhere and Overthere are also freed. Dimentio, Fawful, Midbus, Kammy and Cackletta meet in secret and plan to ambush our heroes. Another main change is the gameplay, Paper Luigi will be added in battles.
* Paper Luigi is also playable, much like Partners in Time, where 4 characters are playable all at once. Mario is controlled with A, Luigi with B, Paper Mario with Y, and Paper Luigi with X.
* There are four new areas, New Donk City, Mount Magmeow, and Meringue Clouds. Neo Bowser Castle is replaced by Chaos Castle, to be more fitting with the new villains.
* The keeper of souls, The Grim Koopa, is a new character added to the story, also freed from the book. He chases down the Paper Mario Bros, trying to catch them and return them to the book for his own self benefit.
* Many of the generic bosses are replaced with bosses from previous games. For example, instead of fighting Paper Petey Piranha, the four plumbers fight the Koopa Bros.
== Story ==
=== Opening / Peach’s Castle / Toad Town ===
Luigi and Toadsworth are cleaning out the attic, when they find a book. There’s a hole in the wall, and Wario’s head appears, looking for a way to sneak into the castle. Luigi gets so scared by this, that he drops the book, caused it to open, and let all of the Paper People escape. Paper Luigi and Paper Toadsworth meet their 3d counterparts, before demanding to see the princess.
When the quartet gets to the throne room, we can see Mario, Paper Mario, Princess Peach, and Paper Princess Peach, alongside Starlow and Kersti. No one really knows what’s going on, so they agree to find the fortune teller and doctor, Dr. Toadley. Once they do, he explains how the ancient Star Sprites created the Paper People to guard their Star Heaven. However, conflict arose, and they were sealed away inside the book.
But before anything else can be discussed, Bowser and Paper Bowser appear, and kidnap Princess Peach and Paper Princess Peach. Toadsworth and Paper Toadsworth are extremely distressed by this, and urge the Mario bros to go and reclaim the Princesses. Starlow and Kersti accompany the quartet as they head into Sunbeam Plains.
You can find Bros attacks by speaking to Toadbert, and Toadiko,the curators of a local museum. The main collectibles of the game will be statues of various things, people, or items. Toadbert gives the Bros green shells and red shells, and Toadiko hands over fire and ice flowers to the Paper Bros.
=== Sunbeam Plains (First Visit) ===
The unlikely band of heroes end up deciding that they need to go to Bowser’s Castle in order to get both Princesses back. In order to do so, they must traverse Sunbeam Plains and Doop Doop Dunes. In their time in Sunbeam Plains, the player can expect to see Goombas, Koopas, Monty Moles, and Biddybuds, whether it be in paper form or not.
Early on, the team gets ambushed by Gus, a Paper Goomba, and his squad of Paper Goombas. After a quick fight, Gus runs away and runs into the Grim Koopa, gatekeeper of the Underwhere, watcher of souls. Under normal circumstances, Grim would just put Gus back into the Ancient Book, however, the Mario Brothers have it right now, so Grim makes a deal. Gus will go steal the book, and Grim will let him free. Gus agrees and the normal gameplay continues.
Mario and company eventually catch up to Bowser and Paper Bowser, who have been flying away in their clown cars with the Princesses. Bowser is furious that they have been following them, so he sends out a monster, known as Petey Piranha. The Bros fight and defeat it, leaving both Bowsers speechless. Kamek and Kammy both appear, freezing the Bros, giving the Bowsers time to escape. 
=== Doop Doop Dunes (First Visit) ===
When the teams makes it into Doop Doop Dunes, they are met with an Elite Trio encounter. This trio consists of Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk, and Sergeant Guy. They don’t really want to fight, but under Bowsers commands, they have to. After the fight there is a cutscene with a mysterious cloaked figure who speaks in a familiar manner. This ends up being Fawful, but this is not revealed to the player or characters.
Bowser and Paper Bowser fly across a very unstable looking bridge, and when the team tries to follow, Big Pokey and Tower Power Pokey jump up from the seemingly endless abyss below, causing the bridge to go out, sending the Bros down into the Doop Doop Caverns. Once you can find a way up to the Pokeys, you do battle, and the two are defeated, allowing you access to the bridge… if it weren’t broken. But don’t worry, Starlow has an idea, the bridge to one of the Twinsy Tropics islands is nearby, so they can hopefull find a way there from the infamous dungeon that Bowser oversees. 
=== Twinsy Tropics (First Visit) ===
The bridge to the first island is available, however, you can’t get to the other half yet. After looking for a way into Bowser’s Castle by asking around Cheep Cheep City, Gus, who has been looking all over for them, overhears this and calls the guards of the dungeon. Wendy, Paper Wendy, Roy, and Paper Roy show up and the Wendy Duo fights them, but when they are defeated and knocked out, the Roys take the quartet into the Twinsy Tropics Dungeon. 
According to another prisoner Toad, Bowser opened up this place to mine out a purple gem, none of the prisoners even know what they’re using it for. You easily break out of your cell with the help of Paper Mario and Paper Luigi, but the Roy Duo notices, and attacks you just before you can exit. After a victorious battle, the Mario bros can leave through a pipe, alongside the other prisoners.
=== Bowser’s Castle ===
The pipe from the Twinsy Tropics Dungeon leads you to Bowser’s Castle, where Toadette arrives with a massive creation of hers. She calls it her Papercraft, which takes all of the prisoners back home. Toadette returns shortly after so that the Bros can use the Papercraft in their fight with the Bowsers. In the castle, Bowser Jr. and Paper Bowser Jr. who have been guarding the Princesses, try to stop the Bros in any way possible, however, they get caught, and end up fighting our heroes, and after they win, Bowser Jr. drops the key to the cell that was holding the Princesses.
With the Princesses following close behind, Mario finds Bowser and Paper Bowser. Kamek and Kammy reveal how they’ve been spying on Toadette and made their own Papercraft. Mario must take on Papercraft Kamek now, in a special Papercraft Battle.
After the Papercraft is destroyed, the hooded figure from Doop Doop Dunes arrives again. This time, choosing to reveal himself. It was Fawful, and Kammy was working with him the whole time! Midbus also arrives, working with Fawful as well. Bowser, Paper Bowser, and Kamek are sent flying off into the sky, somewhere towards Mount Magmeow, and our heroes are sent all the way back to Peach’s Castle, after a failed attempt at fighting this new evil trio. 
=== Sunbeam Plains (Second Visit) ===
After Mario and party failed to defeat Fawful, Kammy, and Midbus, Kammy sends our hero’s through the sky, and back to Sunbeam Plains. The heroes go back in Toad Town, pondering how Fawful and Midbus have returned, and Merlon has an answer for them. 
According to Merlon, he got in touch with the Star Sprites, and they may be concerned that residents of The Underwhere and The Overthere may have been released as well. The Underwhere and Overthere holds all souls of the afterlife, paper or not, so it is entirely possible that that is how Fawful has returned. 
After this confrontation with Merlon, a cutscene plays, showing Fawful entering Gloomy Woods, alongside Midbus and Kammy. The the villains encounter the Elite Trio, who were told that Mario may be in the Gloomy Woods, even though Bowser knows very well that he isn’t, he tells them that just to get the clumsy trio out of the castle. Fawful brainwashes the trio, and they tread on through the forest, after sending the Trio looking for Mario.
Toadette witnessed Fawful enter the forest, and reports to Princess Peach, who has now been returned to her castle and is free from Bowser. Once you reach the entrance to Gloomy Woods, you are ambushed by the Koopa Bros, wanting revenge for Paper Mario getting them fired in the original Paper Mario game. Once they have been dealt with, you can enter Gloomy Woods.
=== Gloomy Woods (First Visit) ===
Upon entering Gloomy Woods, the player is met with a dark scene. A town of Ninjis has been ransacked. Witnesses report seeing a magikoopa destroying everything. Kersti thinks that this may be Kammy Koopas, so the team goes further into the forest, in hopes of finding and stopping Kammy.
Eventually, the player will find Wigglers house, which is being surrounded by a bunch of Paper Spear Guys. After defeating them, Wiggler comes out and thanks everyone for saving him. Although, Wiggler says he is very tired, and needs many berries to be refreshed. You follow a Paper Spear Guy who had a massive melon on him, and find Iggy and Paper Iggy stealing all of the fruits, and after a boss battle, they leave, allowing you to feed Wiggler. 
Wiggler destroys some junk in the path, until he gets tired again, and this repeats for a while, until you get to the edge of the forest, where Fawful, Midbus, and Kammy are. Midbus suggests that destroying the heroes now would be great, so they wouldn’t get in the way anymore, to which Fawful and Kammy agree. Fawful gets on his Headgear and uses a gas to brainwash Wiggler, causing him to fight Mario.
In this battle, Fawful will be in the background, flying on his Headgear, and the battle will only end once you defeat his Headgear. So after you take out Wiggler, Fawful will come into the fight, and if you take too long to defeat him, he will replenish half of Wigglers HP.
After this fight, Fawful, Midbus, and Kammy fly away, going up to Mount Brrr. Wiggler unfortunately loses his life… or so the heroes thought. Wiggler is taken up above into the sky by some Paragoomba, seemingly being taken to The Overthere, but he returns shortly after, as Flutter, with some new wings that can help our heroes up to Mount Brrr.
=== Mount Brrr (First Visit) ===
With the help of Flutter, our heroes can follow Fawful up Mount Brrr. Gus has reunited with Grim, and attempt to capture Luigi, but to no avail. Along the way, the rest of the Koopalings, Lemmy, Larry, Morton, Ludwig, and all of their Paper selfs are looking for Bowser, and Lemmy and Paper Lemmy decide to fight Mario, but they lose, and the Koopalings let them through, as Mario is the least of their concerns.
Upon reaching the summit, our heroes notice some sort of structure, and, upon further inspection, they figure out that is a base that Bowser set up a long time ago. They meet King Bob-Omb, who is friendly right now, because Bowser has not given him any orders yet. Fawful is also there, and Midbus and Kammy fight Mario. When they lose, all hope looks lost for Fawful, when, suddenly, a mysterious voice speaks. 
Dimentio reveals himself, explaining his plan to team up with Fawful, and create a new world where all of his dreams can come true. Fawful agrees, and the two easily overpower the heroes, sending them flying all the way back to Sunbeam Plains again.
=== Sunbeam Plains (Third Visit) ===
This visit to Sunbeam Plains is not a long one. Kersti demands that the team goes and rushes back to Mount Brrr, however, the entrance to Gloomy Woods has been blocked by Boo Blocks. Starlow suggests that they go to New Donk City in order to find the world renowned Professor E. Gadd. 
Along the way to Doop Doop Dunes, all of the Koopalings, Kamek, Bowser Jr, and Paper Bowser Jr are seen again. Kamek begs that they do not fight, but Larry and Paper Larry react too quickly and a battle begins. After the fight, Kamek tries to make a truce with Mario, but the Koopalings disagree, and run off again.
Kamek helps out when Gus reappears, and tries to capture Mario again. Bowser and Paper Bowser have also been missing, according to Kamek, and haven’t been seen since they were defeated by Mario. With a truce now in place, Kamek leaves in search of Bowser and the Koopalings.
=== Doop Doop Dunes (Second Visit) ===
In this most recent visit, Popple and his new Rookie, Birdo, are seen disrupting the Bowser’s Castle football team. According to Popple, they have lots of money. Just like in Dream Team, Popple tries to get Mario involved in this, but he and Birdo both run away when the Chargin Chuck Brigade notice. Mario is framed, and a boss battle happens. After the Chargin Chuck Brigade is defeated, there are no more events, and the player can simply just move on to the next area.
=== Twinsy Tropics (Second Visit) ===
Most of your time during this visit to Twinsy Tropics is spent on the other island, which is now available. Over there is Popple and Birdo, who are surprised to see you again. They try to outrun you, but you catch up, and fight them. After they are defeated, Birdo realizes that Popple was only using them, and so they fling Popple into the water. With Popple being put in his place, the player can move into New Donk City.
=== New Donk City ===
Once you arrive, you go to Town Hall and meet Mayor Pauline, and ask where you could find E. Gadd. However, you are interrupted by the arrival of 2 different airships, both commanded by different leaders. One of the airships is commanded by Bowser and Paper Bowser, and the other is for Midbus and Kammy. Midbus and Kammy are here to take E. Gadd, and Bowser is only here to take revenge on Midbus and Kammy. 
Midbus sends down the Fawfaladin, whose name is a play on words for Fawful and paladin. It is essentially just a very strong Mechawful. Bowser sends down General Bro, who competes against the Fawfaladin in kidnapping E. Gadd. The player catches up with the two, and end up fighting General Bro, and he is defeated. The Fawfaladin has E. Gadd, and climbs up the New Donk City Power Plant tower, and the player must follow. At the top, after a boss fight with the Fawfaladin, E. Gadd is free, and Midbus and Kammy leave. But just before they can leave they blow up Bowsers airship, sending the two flying off again.
Now with the help of Professor E. Gadd, who gives them a special tool to get rid of Boo Blocks, the player can enter Gloomy Woods again. (And there is a convenient fast travel between New Donk City and Toad Town). 
=== Gloomy Woods (Second Visit) ===
Entering Gloomy Woods will trigger a cutscene in Treetop Town, the town of friendly Ninjis. The cutscene is of Wario, Waluigi, Paper Wario, and Paper Waluigi running into the Mario Bros after stealing from every house. Before a fight can break out between the 8 Bros, King Boo arrives, king of the forest, or at least his part of the forest. The way to find Flutter has been blocked off by more Boo Blocks, but King Boo takes the special tool provided by E. Gadd away, as King Boo doesn’t want his creations destroyed.
The only way back up to Mount Brrr is through Flutter, but the only way to get to Flutter is by going through King Boos area. King Boo doesn’t like that idea very much, and warns the Mario’s not to go. King Boo leaves, but since that way is their only option, the player follows him. The Wario’s and Waluigi’s follow too, trying to steal the players money.
Upon entering King Boos area, he separates the Paper Bros, and the Bros, as well as the Paper Wario Bros, and the Wario Bros. Before they can reunite, Mario and Luigi must fight off Wario and Waluigi, and Paper Mario and Paper Luigi must fight off Paper Wario and Paper Waluigi.
Once reunited, King Boo has had enough, and fights the Bros, but after his defeat, he is impressed by their strength, and allows the Bros past, once again giving access to Mount Brrr.
=== Mount Magmeow ===
Once arriving back up on Mount Brrr, Kamek shows up again, saying that he’s found Bowser and Paper Bowser after their Airship was blown up in New Donk City. They’ve landed on Mount Magmeow, the mountain that sits right next to Mount Brrr, and is essentially the opposite of Mount Brrr. The Bros quickly run through Mount Brrr again, but along the path, Kamek helps our heroes onto Mount Magmeow.
While exploring Mount Magmeow, Dimentio appears, and asks the Mario Bros if they’ve heard of the Heart of Mount Magmeow, when the answer is no, Dimentio explains how somewhere in the core of the mountain is a crystal, and if it is activated, excess amount of lava will flow. Obviously, to annoy the Bros, Dimentio activates the crystal. Once Mario and Luigi can find their way through the lava and caves, and find the crystal, Morton and Paper Morton ambush them, and the Heart of Mount Magmeow assists them in the battle. After Morton and Paper Morton are defeated (and escorted up to Bowser by Kamek), the crystal is destroyed, thus allowing the Bros to go up the mountain more.
Once the Bros make it to the summit, and catch up with Kamek, all of the Koopalings are there as well, except Ludwig and Paper Ludwig, who are missing. Bowser and Paper Bowser are there too. After needing to convince Bowser and Paper Bowser in the form of a fight, they all form a truce, and Bowser agrees to go back to his castle with the minions and prepare to fight Fawful and Dimentio. They all leave to do just that. Kamek helps the Bros onto Mount Brrr again, so their quest can continue.
=== Mount Brrr (Second Visit) ===
Once back onto Mount Brrr, Kamek briefly tells the Bros to be on the lookout for Ludwig and Paper Ludwig, who are still missing. After Kamek flies away, and the player explores new areas on the mountain, Dimentio reappears, and activates the Heart of Mount Brrr, which creates a never ending snowstorm, and once the Bros find the heart, Ludwig and Paper Ludwig attack, unaware of the truce made. After the fight, when Starlow tells them of the truce, they don’t believe her, so they leave to go confirm this information with Kamek,
With the crystal destroyed, the player can continue up the mountain, in pursuit of Fawful and Dimentio. Along the way, Midbus and Kammy reappear, and have their robot, Junker, fight the team, and after it’s defeated, they need to step in. Once the duo has been defeated yet again, they freeze up in the harsh weather, and are left behind by the Bros.
Once returning to the summit, King Bob-Omb informs the heroes of some unfortunate news. Fawful and Dimentio appear again, and brainwash King Bob-Omb before he can reveal their secret. After King Bob-Omb is set free, after a boss battle, he is sadly silenced by Dimentio, and sent to The Underwhere.
The secret, however, is not very well kept, and the massive, giant new castle in the sky is quickly noticed by the heroes. This place is known as Chaos Castle, and it has the necessary environment that is chaotic enough so that Dimentio can destroy the world, and create a new one. The chaotic duo head up for their new castle, but the Bros have no way of getting up there, and must detour through the Meringue Clouds, which can be accessed because of how high up Mount Brrr goes.
However, just as the player enters Meringue Clouds, a cutscene will trigger, which has the camera returning to the scene of a frozen Midbus and Kammy Koopa getting teleported up to Chaos Castle by Dimentio, who promises chaos for them, and one last chance to stop the heroes.
=== Meringue Clouds ===
Meringue Clouds starts off with a lot of exploration, with the Bros simply going up to reach Chaos Castle. The Elite Trio appears again, this time they fight Mario because they were brainwashed by Fawful all the way back in Gloomy Woods. Except, before they can fight, Croco appears.
Croco is the one responsible for stealing all of the Bros Attacks from Toad Town, and has been chased down and captured time and time again by Mario throughout the adventure. Croco steals the Elite Trios stuff, and runs. After the Elite Trio begs, Mario agrees to get their stuff back. This ends in Croco being defeated for the last time, as he falls through the clouds to his demise. Once they have their stuff returned, the Elite Trio fights the heroes, and they are defeated soon after, and sent back to Bowsers Castle. With those guys out of the way, the clouds bring our heroes up into Chaos Castle, where the final battle is to be held.
=== Chaos Castle ===
Upon entering Chaos Castle, within the entrance corridor, the massive door behind the heroes opens again. They all hide, and wait for whoever it is to pass them. It is revealed that Gus was following the heroes yet again. Upon realizing this, the heroes, knowing they can handle Gus, get out from their hiding spot. Gus has another failing attempt to capture Luigi, before the massive door opens again. This time, it’s the Grim Koopa. 
But as soon as he enters, the heroes break out, causing Grim to fire Gus, and cut the deal they made. A boss battle between Grim then occurs, in the battle, after 2 turns have expired, Gus will enter the fight. After the duo is defeated, Grim makes a deal with Starlow, where he accepts his defeat, but Luigi must go back and recapture every paper being after this battle is over. Grim is sent back through the Ancient Book, willingly, and Gus is forced to follow behind.
Going further into the castle, an old foe reappears, being Cackletta. Sometime, she and Fawful reconnected and teamed up. She sets up many chaotic traps to try and catch the heroes, none will work, however. Dimentio also reappears again, this time, showing off his newest creation, Blizzard Midbus and Kamella. After Midbus and Kammy got frozen, Dimentio gave them one last chance and powered them up. They are defeated once again, and are promptly tossed out of the castle by Dimentio, to which, much like Fawfuls defeat in Superstar Saga, they blow up in the sky. Right before Fawfuls and Dimentios room, Cackletta dramatically enters yet again, this time, hoping to duel with the heroes. After she is defeated, she also explodes, allowing the heroes access to the final battle.
Upon entering Fawful and Dimentios room, the two have summoned the Dark Prognosticus, a book filled with dark prophecies. It’s said that anybody who wields this book never achieves happiness again. Dimentio plans to use it and follow along with the prophecy that destroys the world, and creates another one, known as The Void. Much like in Super Paper Mario, Dimentio summons the Void, however, this time, it is much, much faster, and will destroy the world. Dimentio needs the Man in Green, or Paper Luigi, to finish the prophecy, but in order for him to get Luigi, they must fight. Thus, the first phase of the final boss commences.
In this fight, Fawful will fly with his Headgear, which can be destroyed, but will eventually be brought back by Fawful. Fawful and Dimentio will fight together, until one is defeated, in which this will effect the next phase. If Fawful is defeated, Dimentio swears to finish the prophecy, and avenge him, using Fawful, another green man, to become Super Dimentio. If Dimentio is defeated, Fawful says how he will somehow finish the prophecy that Dimentio couldn’t, and Dimentio uses his last magic to power him up to Dark Fawful. 
After the two are defeated, a cutscene plays where they attempt to escape on Fawfuls Headgear, but a large cannonball flies into them, causing them to explode once and for all, sending them back to The Underwhere. The cannonball was of course, sent by Bowser, who uses his castle and airships to destroy Chaos Castle.
=== Ending ===
The heroes have returned to Peach’s Castle, where everyone will say their fair wells. Paper Peach, Kersti, Paper Toadsworth, Merlon and many, many Paper Toads all jump into the Ancient Book, of course followed by Paper Mario and Paper Luigi.
While the credits play, a cutscene will play, with no dialogue, showing Luigi running around and collecting as many paper enemies as possible, and also revisiting areas and collecting some of the paper characters we’ve met. Luigi runs and collect Paper Bowser, The Paper Koopalings, as well as many more you meet along the course of the adventure.

== Gameplay ==
=== Overworld Gameplay ===
While in the overworld, being anytime not in battle, the player controls Mario, Luigi, Paper Mario, and Paper Luigi. Mario is controlled with A, Luigi with B, Paper Mario with Y, and Paper Luigi with X. You can also press the L button to switch to Hammer, Grab, Drill, and Glider. You can also use the A and B buttons at the same time to perform a dash, which allows the player to move faster if they please. Plus, in cutscenes, you can hold the R button to fast forward.
=== Battle Gameplay ===
In battles, the main characters are still controlled with the same buttons, A B X and Y. In battle, there is the Jump, Hammer, Bro Attack, and Quartet Attack, Run, and Items options, these are known as the Command Blocks.
==== Command Blocks ====
Picture	Name 	Description
 	Jump 	Allows any bro to jump on an enemy. Don’t use it on a spiky enemy, or else you’ll take damage.
 	Hammer 	Allows any bro to hammer a foe, so long as it’s on the ground, as attempting to hammer a flying enemy will not work.
 	Bros. Attacks 	Bros. Attacks open up the option for 12 unique attack, only accessible for Mario and Luigi, and are split up between the two. They cost FP to use, though.
 	Quartet Attacks	Quartet Attacks are attacks that involve using all 4 heroes for an ultimate attack. Typically dealing more damage than a Bros Attack, although costing more FP.
 	Copy 	The Copy ability is only available to Paper Mario and Paper Luigi. The paper duo have a low amount of HP, but to make up for it, they can copy themselves, which act as shields for damage. Using the Copy block will give them 1 new copy.
 	Item 	Using this command block opens up many items, which you collect from the overworld, defeating enemies, or buying from a shop. The effect from these items depends on the item you use.
 	Hint 	Using the Hint command block will give the player a hint about an enemy they are fighting. It could be about avoiding their attacks, or weaknesses. Whatever it be, the information will help players if they are having trouble.
 	Flee 	Fleeing is always a guarantee when you use this block, however, you’ll lose coins on the way out.
==== Bros Attacks ====
Bros attacks are special moves that can only be used by Mario and Luigi, and they each have 6 unique attacks.

 	Balloon Blast 	Luigi 	Mario and Luigi bring out an air pump, and pump up a balloon. The balloon will eventually burst, causing many small balloons to rain down on all enemies. 	Gloomy Woods (1)
 	Power Moon Mystery	Luigi 	Luigi and Mario must position themselves to hammer a Power Moon falling from the sky. It goes back and forth, and eventually breaks, causing some sort of status effect on all enemies, as well as dealing lots of damage. 	New Donk City
