Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros. is an RPG game released for the Nintendo Switch. It is a "reboot" of the Nintendo 3DS game that shares the same European name. The game's story only takes into account the first four Mario & Luigi RPG games and to a lesser extent, the first three Paper Mario games, with the story revolving around Mario and Luigi fighting against Midbus and the Shroobs to keep them at bay, whilst making sure that their paper counterparts don't get killed after learning that they were drawn by a magical artist. The game was developed by Good-Feel and Intelligent Systems, taking AlphaDream's place after they filled for bankruptcy in late 2019. 
==Story==
The story opens up with a paragraph written by a deceased artist, setting up the conflict of the story early on. 
"In the past, there have been a lot of fights between a lot of different people. Some of those fights are over breaking the law. Others are over personal belongings. But what matters is that sometimes... It's fights like these, that in fact. An Italian man does everything to protect the damsel in distress from a fat turtle that always tries to steal her and take over the home she lives in. But in the end, he's the one to lose the fight. And the Italian is the one to win. Their fights are usually filled with jumping, punching, hammers, fire, and the list goes on, but sometimes, when they're alone and not around each other, they ask themselves the same question, every night: What brought us all together?"

======
The adventure fully begins when Professor E. Gadd visits Peach's Castle to show off his latest invention called "The Paperizer". Inspecting this machine, Princess Peach asks the Professor to display it in front of her staff at the castle, including the bros. Mario and Luigi are working on the plumbing system underneath the castle, and are called up by Toadsworth to take a look at the invention. The invention is hooked up to a book with a mushroom imprinted on the cover, signed by the name "Vince".
Before turning on the machine, Bowser barges into the castle to steal Princess Peach and fights the bros first. Losing in the process but deciding to take the invention. He grabs it and it malfunctions and explodes in the process, sending Bowser into the sky, multiple paper cutouts from the book, and destroying the front door. The explosion sends Bowser all the way back to his castle, making him crash against the switch to his freezer. Causing it to defrost everything inside it.
In the freezer, resides all of the bodies of the guys he collected over the past few years, including Midbus and a large crowd of Shroob species. They defrost very quickly and barge out of the freezer in a state of panic. 
Upon the paper explosion, everyone of the paper cutouts from the book, except for the baddies, introduce themselves to everyone after everything has calmed down for them. Mario and Luigi notice two paper cutouts of themselves and walk over to them, introducing themselves to them, being surprised at the cutout of Luigi being able to speak fluent English. Princess Peach and Toadsworth talk to the cutouts of themselves who are accompanied by the entities that own the pages of the book called "The Star Spirits". 
This party is interrupted however when the castle is surrounded by the Shroobs and Midbus, who are ready to open fire. Everyone sneaks out the back and head into the forest called Gloomy Woods, and agree to hide there temporarily until Mario and Luigi can do something about it. Paper Mario and Paper Luigi offer to help, with Mario and Luigi agreeing to it. Toadsworth on the other hand is unsure, seeing that he knew the artist and decides to break to the cutouts gently when the thing blows over. Before Mario and Luigi however, Toadsworth takes them into a corner and tells them about the cutouts and how the artist who wrote the book, favoured, two heroes blessed by the Star Spirits, in red and green and wrote on the back on the hard cover that if they, or the Star Spirits were to die, both worlds could end, and make them swear to never tell the cutouts. He sends them on their way and wishes them the best of luck.
======
As soon as the brothers enter the fields of Sunbeam Plains, they’re quickly met with adversity from two Paper Goombas. One of them, a particularly eager Goomba, who asks them for a lot of money, with the brothers politely telling him no. With him getting more persistent, Paper Luigi decides to fold him into a boomerang, with the other Goomba shivering with fear at the sight of it. Throwing him in the other direction, forgetting that boomerangs always come back. The boomerang and his close friend engage the Bros. To no-one’s surprise, and with maneuvers that recall a superstar saga, the four plumbers defeat the duo. While the normal Paper Goomba gets out of there, the eager one warns the Bros. he’ll rally up the trusted Paper Goombas to get them next time.
Thousands of miles away, at Bowser’s Castle, Bowser and his minions hold a meeting with the paper cutouts who arrived not long ago, in relation to the release of Midbus and the Shroobs. Bowser declares that no one outside of their group, is allowed to get involved and that this their fight and their fight alone. Paper Bowser not understanding why at first is told that it's a personal fight that has to be ended, and that he and his son, are part of the process.
Back with the four brothers, they arrive at the sight of a flower fields in Sunbeam Plains that is full of Piranha Plants. Unsettled by the sight of them, Paper Luigi persists to move faster, with Luigi telling him in Italian Gibberish to relax. The same Paper Goomba from before stops the four in their tracks, holding a Shroob mushroom on his head, Mario and Luigi obviously shocked demand him to throw it away. He follows their order and throws it at a pot. The pot, shaking and leaking and exploding into an oozing Petey Piranha. 
After defeating the monster, Mario and Luigi explain to the cutouts that the mushroom was from a species that invaded the Mushroom Kingdom a very long time ago. Paper Luigi is shocked the most at this and is worried about how the Bowser army would get involved, and decides that the best option is to visit them first to see if they're willing to go along with helping them. 
======
The four plumbers take the easy route to Bowser's Castle by going through Doop Doop Dunes. Whilst wandering through the dunes, they run into Mr Thwomp, who explains that they have a situation going on inside of the Koopaseum where multiple cutouts are fighting normal people and that they should go inside and stop them. Paper Luigi tells him that they're in a hurry to Bowser's Castle and that they've no time for any distractions. Mr Thwomp replies, telling him that the cutouts are from Bowser's army and that they could help once calmed down. They reluctantly agree and go inside. 
Walking into the building, the plumbers notice how the commotion going on in the hallways is between a number of Bowser's minions and cutouts of them. One of the arguments they hear involves "money". They decide to break up the argument by heading to the backroom and pulling down the fire alarm to get everyone out. This releases "Smorg", who resides in the arena, terrorizing the audience waiting for their next show. This prompts the plumbers to head down to the arena via the elevator. Whilst riding the elevator, the cables on it snap and it falls down, causing the plumbers to get stuck in the shaft. 
Whilst looking around for a way out, Luigi notices a box that was broken open because of the impact of the fall. The box contains four hammers labeled "(c) Hammer Broz Inc". He picks them up and gives the remaining three to Mario, Paper Mario and Paper Luigi, telling them that he has an idea. Mario hits a crack in the wall, breaking it open. The opening leads into an office with a big door. In an attempt to break the door open with one hammer, nothing happens. Mario calls over the other three to perform a four man action involving all four hammers. Breaking the door's locks in half in the process, causing it to open slowly. 
The plumbers arriving at the stage, fight Smorg, who is revealed to be owned by a small Koopa in an Egyptian cosplay named Tutankoopa. Once defeated, Tutankoopa has a meltdown and is removed from the building by security for outlandish behaviour. 
Outside the building, the plumbers try to reason with the cutouts and tell them that the only way they can defeat Midbus and the Shroobs is by forming an alliance. The minions firmly tell them no and that this is Bowser's fight and that they have no business getting involved considering the history Mario and Luigi have had with Bowser for a long time. Paper Luigi tells them that their excuse that it's Bowser's fight is stupid and that the army they'll be up against is poisonous, Paper Mario attempts to try and back him off from this, but he refuses and continues on saying that if they don't work together, the world could end. This shocks Mario and Luigi, and Paper Luigi declares that they're going to Bowser's Castle to attempt to reason with the Koopa king themselves. 
======
Upon arriving at Bowser's Castle, Mario and Luigi notice how hostile everyone is at the sight of the four plumbers and realise that Bowser wasn't joking. When talking to them, the minions encourage them to leave immediately, telling them that Bowser's in no mood for any of their interferences. Upon arriving at the throne room, Bowser and Paper Bowser groan at the sight of the four plumbers. Paper Luigi explains to them the circumstances and telling them about the prophecy of the artist named "Vince". Bowser yells at him to shut up and let him have this fight and orders the Koopa Bros to take care of the four plumbers. Losing in the process, the four plumbers try to reason with Bowser, who responds by defeatedly telling them to let him have his moment, and get out. Paper Luigi defeated, follows the three plumbers out of the castle as they leave the room. 
Bowser watches them leave, furious that they even bothered coming to his castle in the first place. Paper Bowser puts his hand on his shoulder and tells him that taking credit isn't professional. Bowser shrugs this off. 
Arriving back at Gloomy Woods, the plumbers explain everything to the residents, telling them that Bowser is refusing to help out. Princess Peach steps in and tells the cutouts that Bowser and Midbus had a rivalry, with that rivalry ending with Midbus being chucked into Bowser's freezer along with other individuals in it. This puts things into perspective for Paper Luigi. Unsure of what to do next, Toadsworth sends the brothers further into the woods to find a Wiggler who could help them out with rounding up an army. 
======
Walking further into the woods, the plumbers encounter a Wiggler, who tells them that he's hungry and that he needs a berry. After finding one they feed it to him. Wiggler then starts to get happy again until he sees the Magical Shapes in the distance. Mad, Wiggler destroys the shapes by ramming into them. The plumbers prepare to walk onwards, but then Wiggler blocks them, insisting he's hungry and that he needs 10 berries. Already exhausted, Paper Luigi asks him why he can't just walk on an empty stomach, to which the Wiggler replies he has terrible a cholesterol level, which immediately, Paper Luigi understands.
Upon trying to reach a berry across a river, Paper Mario gives the other three an idea into forming a four man coil. Performing the maneuver and collecting the berry, the plumbers press onwards and fight a few Beehoes for a berry. The remaining eight berries are easier to get. With all the berries, the brothers give the berries to Wiggler and are about to head on their way. To almost everyone's annoyance Wiggler tells them that he's still hungry, Paper Luigi curbs his sympathy and tells him that enough is enough, to which Paper Mario reminds him to be patient. Suddenly a Marathon Yoshi speeds past with a Water Melon in his arms, this gives Paper Mario an idea. 
The plumbers follow the Yoshi until the reach the place he's sitting down at. They ask him if they could use the Water Melon. He promises only if they demonstrate to him how strong they are, by performing how strong they are in battle. He invites the four plumbers into his house and leads them to his gym dojo, filled with mannequins and dummies to fight and tells them to show him what they've got. Fighting the dummies and the mannequins, they impress the Yoshi and he gives them the melon. For future reference, the Yoshi tells the plumbers to call him Tiberius. Heading back into the fields they give the melon to Wiggler and he roars up again smashing more Magical Shapes.
Venturing into the forest, the plumbers find that there's another problem. There is a gate that has to be opened by breaking the electrical spike powering them, since there's no button to open the gate. Paper Mario spots a fuse box connected to the gate that is out of arms reach. Using the Grab, the coil catches a bomb and they throw it at the fuse box, causing it to explode, allowing the gate to open. 
Walking beyond the gate and into the deep dark part of the woods, the plumbers lose sight of Wiggler and end up finding site of a demolished mansion. Upon approaching the site, they awaken an angry spirit, who Mario and Luigi recognize as King Boo. All four of the plumbers manage to escape in one piece without losing anyone. Travelling through different obstacles with Boos patrolling the areas, the plumbers manage to sneak past every single one of them. Eventually they reach the neck of the woods.
They arrive at the sight of The Elite Trio and Wiggler arguing about the Magical Shapes and how they're not allowed. But Sergeant Guy zaps Wiggler. This makes Wiggler go nuts. The plumbers try to snap him out of it but nothing works. Wiggler stomps the ground. Private Goomp jumps aboard Wiggler and they start a fight. 
After winning the fight, with the Elite Trio declaring that they're not doing this for Bowser before leaving, the plumbers comfort Wiggler before he goes to sleep and passes away from the injuries. Upon watching him close his eyes, Paper Luigi runs off crying, with Paper Mario following him to try and comfort him. Eventually Paper Luigi comes to terms with it after Paper Mario gives him a berry that he found, to keep as an item to encourage him when he's feeling upset. 
Walking through the path to Mount Brr, the plumbers notice in the sky a number of Shroob spaceships flying across the sky, concerned at where they might be going, the four pick up the pace, heading to the mountains. 
======
Arriving at the summit of Mount Brr, Mario notices a shadow lurking above them in the shape of a Star and reminds Luigi that they're getting close to the Star Shrine. Confused at first, Paper Luigi asks what the Star Shrine is and Luigi explains to him that it's an ancient sanctuary that was once isolated when the Shroobs took over but has been a hotspot for tourism. The plumbers travel onwards in the mountain, battling tough Paper Clefts and sign-wielding Handfakes. Not even a few moments later, they hear a bang in the higher part of the mountain. It starts to get annoying after three times. Then some ice colored origami drills start falling from the sky and landing in the snow. As they look up, they see that it's the Shroobs shooting projectiles as an environmentally friendly way of attack. 
Upon further examination of the ice drills, Paper Mario gets an idea. He tells Mario and Luigi his idea, to which they perform. They use the Drill to collect some Beans, Coins and items in the ground. The second leg of the mountain is just as difficult to climb as the previous leg, so Paper Luigi suggests taking a shortcut via the interior of the mountain, to which Mario and Luigi agree to, with Paper Mario unsure. Upon walking inside of the caverns, the plumbers discover a rudimentary living quarters that contain a hammock, some paperwork, a radio and a large crate of fruit. 
The notes read:
*"I, the ...reat...been searching years for...I've combed...planet, yet have come...with nothing. I'm starting to think the...is nothing but a fairy tale.
*"I feel...wasted our best years. I just can't....hen I'm deceived! My... has recommended we look elsewhere ...true ...method is spectacular but... limiting in fre..."
*"F...found a lead i... Kingdom. Hidden in the... stle is the limitless power of the ...With it, we have a chance, not just at...nation, but a second chance to find..." (The rest of the note is too rubbed out)
*"Change the attack target- Bowser's new castle."
Leaving the headquarters, the plumbers arrive at Star Shrine. Upon reaching the gate, the gate ultimately recognizes Luigi from before and catches up with him, telling him to keep up the good work. As the plumbers venture further in the sanctuary, they notice the ever-present feeling of fear on the sanctuary, even with the individuals on the sanctuary. That ever-present feeling of fear finally drops the ball when Paper Mario and Paper Luigi recoil at the sight of a giant cold statue. Paper Luigi tells the brothers that his name is Bonechill and that they fought him a long time ago.
Taking cover behind a wall so that they're not spotted, the plumbers notice that Bonechill is providing fuel for the space ships, using his ice breath. Already annoyed, Paper Luigi leads the charge and confronts Bonechill, starting the fight. After winning the fight, the big Skellobomber explodes, depleting the space ships of a fuel source.
The plumbers end up being ambushed by a group of Shroobs without a leader, ready to open fire. They are stopped by Midbus who arrives, ready to tear the plumbers a new one, only to get crushed by the two Bowsers, who tell the plumbers to get lost. To which they do, heading out of the sanctuary and down the mountain, back to Doop Doop Dunes. 
======
Upon arriving at Doop Doop Dunes, the plumbers make a decision to head straight towards Princess Peach's Castle, however Luigi gets an idea to head towards Twinsey Tropics as it's an island surrounded by the sea, knowing that the Shroobs were allergic to salt water in the past, he reminds Mario of this. They head towards the island. 
The route to the island is blocked off by a large series of dunes which the plumbers struggle to climb up. Upon reaching the top of the third dune, Paper Mario gets the idea to form into an airplane, to which the other three ride on and glide across the dunes. Reaching a bridge blocked off by an enclosed gate over the sea, Paper Luigi gets the idea to form into a paper boat, to which the other three ride on in the sea and reach the island. 
Arriving at the island, all the locals welcome the plumbers and offer them cocktails and champagne to which they politely decline saying that they're here to reuse some seawater for an emergency. One of the locals tells them that the water around 200m of the coastline is owned by the founder of the island who is living in a hotel in the middle of the island, and that if they want to use the salt water, they'll have to ask for his permission. Hearing this at first hand, the plumbers head to the middle of the island and arrive at the No Snake Hotel. 
Mario and Luigi discover that the hotel is owned by Clarkon, who explains that he bought this sanctum to get close to some controlled noise. Luigi explains to him that they need the salt water around the island to evaporate the race of the Shroobs. The moment Clarkon hears the word "Shroobs", he goes into a state of panic and tells the plumbers to come with him. He leads them down into his basement and shows them a bookshelf full of bottles of salt water labelled "Emergency". He explains to the plumbers that when he was being trained by "Vince", there were news reports of the invasions that had happened long ago in the Mushroom Kingdom. Looking up in his collection about scientology of fungi, Vince discovered that purple mushrooms are allergic to salt water. Of course Professor E. Gadd already discovered that.
Clarkon gives the bottles to the plumbers and sends them on their way, wishing them good luck.
======
Heading back to Peach's Castle, the plumbers take a brief detour to Gloomy Woods to tell everyone what their next move is going to be. Toadsworth relieved gives them some syringes to inject the Shroobs with and some spare emergency keys for the front door of the castle. Heading through Sunbeam Plains, they notice Bowser in the sky with the Koopa Clown Car, but remained unphased, knowing that they have to do their job. 
As they walk up to the front door and unlock it, Paper Luigi comments on how the exterior hasn't been touched. They go inside and look around and notice how the interior has also remained relatively untouched. Paper Mario points out a line of lava lamps lined up against the wall that have Shroobs floating around in them. Wondering if they're being reused as a fuel source, the plumbers continue exploring the castle's foyer and come across a lever connected to the sundial on the floor. Paper Mario pulls the lever and it reveals a stair case. After hearing large footsteps, the plumbers rush down the stairs, avoiding Midbus. 
The plumbers reach the basement and are surprised at the level of polish it received since their initial visit in the past, with there being lamp posts placed around the pathways to light up the halls, more pipes, more mazes, etc. Whilst walking around in it looking for more clues and an exit, they encounter Tutankoopa and his new pet "Soul", who attacks them for their previous fight with Smorg, and loses. Further exploring the dungeon and learning more about the motives of Midbus from the lack of minions in the castle and the sight of enclosed Shroobs in lava lamps, the plumbers come to the conclusion that Midbus' invasion so far, has been a one man show. 
Upon re entering the foyer of the castle, the plumbers get ambushed by the Bowser Juniors and Kameks, who attack them without any hesitation, telling them that they should've stayed out of their way. Losing the fight, the four villains are about to counter attack, however everyone gets corned by King Boo and three old Shroobs. This prompts the plumbers to fight them, with them being victorious. They continue onwards to the second floor, with the Bowser Juniors and the Kameks agreeing to let them go and dig their own grave. 
On the second floor, the plumbers meet Midbus, who releases King Bob-omb on them, with the plumbers being victorious. Fleeing to the third floor, the plumbers follow Midbus there but are stopped by Mrs Thwomp, who attempts to fight them, but fails as the plumbers are victorious. Continuing onto the third floor, the plumbers see that Midbus has lost his mind and is trying to shut everything down, failing miserably. As he runs down the hallways, he sets off all of the lava lamps, using the Shroobs' energy to give birth to a reborn Elder Shrooboid, who attacks the plumbers.
During the fight, they use the syringes to deflate the Elder Shrooboid's power, which works and shrinks it down, eventually killing it. Continuing forwards, the plumbers reach Princess Peach's throne room and confront Midbus ready to fight him. He attempts to open fire as he open the Paper Book 3/5 of the way through, he holds two pieces of fabric- one purple, one red. Realizing what he’s about to do, Luigi is about to jump head first at him, but is stopped by the two Bowsers who jump through the windows and dogpile Midbus, knocking the book out of his hands. Bowser holds him in a headlock and swings him into the wall. 
Bowser then turns his attention to the plumbers and attacks the plumbers, telling them that he's taking Peach's Castle after he's finished with everyone in this room. During the fight, the Bowsers unleash everything they have on the plumbers, double fire, megabreath, shell combo, etc. Eventually, the fight is interrupted when Midbus wakes up and finishes his ritual with the paper book. The two pieces of fabric form into a cloak with a dark orb forming over it. The darkness then forms into a very frighteningly familiar shape and lightning bolts rain down. Cackletta laughs at her return as a dark shadow.
She finds her place in Midbus' crown and thus, the fight restarts, with Bowser and Paper Bowser changing sides. Midway during the fight, Cackletta takes the entire book as dark tendrils emerge from her back, with the tendrils opening her back. With the book spitting out the rest of it contents the tendrils absorb its energy, going into Cackletta.
Midbus tries to stop her from sapping in too much of the energy, but he ends up getting caught in the tendrils. Midbus gets absorbed, and his whole body separates into tiny little particles of Vitamin E. After taking the entire book in, Cackletta flashes, blinding everyone. When they open their eyes, they see Cackletta's new shape. The rest of Bowser and Paper Bowser's minions barge into the throne room, they attempt to dogpile Supershadow Cackletta, but are blown away by the shockwaves from her hands snapping her fingers. The fight ends with Supershadow Cackletta summoning Vince and strangling him, prompting Paper Luigi to jump on her and drive the syringe into her nose. With her exploding as a result.
Everything cuts to black, as Paper Mario, Paper Luigi and the Star Spirit family, find themselves on a single platform, overlooking darkness. In the darkness, they find the ghost of Vince, with a paint brush. He tells all of them that this is not the end, but rather the beginning of another life, a life that is clear and a life that is non conclusive, regardless of what happens, a refusal of death. He gives them the option to take it, but they refuse and ask for a restart so that things can go differently. Vince gives this wish to them. 
Paper Mario and Paper Luigi wake up in the throne room of Princess Peach's Castle and are greeted by Mario and Luigi, who introduce themselves kindly to them, telling them that the parade is about to begin. Having no memory of what is going on or what just happened they follow the brothers outside to the courtyard and see floats of Swans and Doves, with the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom surrounding them and Bowser's minions holding them up. 
As the parade begins, Vince walks out of the castle and stays behind watching the parade head down Sunbeam Plains. As he mutters the sentence, "We must stick together my little sunshines", the sun sets on another normal day in the Mushroom Kingdom. 
==Gameplay==
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros. features the same gameplay style as the previous Mario & Luigi entries, being based on the buttons of Nintendo Switch being linked to the different characters, with Mario being linked to the A button, Luigi being linked to the B button, Paper Mario being linked to the X button and Paper Luigi being linked to the Y button.
===Overworld===
Unlike the original Nintendo 3DS game, the player controls Paper Luigi alongside, Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario. Because of this, there are now six moves that the player can use to make the four characters do different things. Jump, Hammer, Grab, Drill, Glider and Boat. The moves are split into three pages. 
*Page One: Jump (A), Jump (B), Jump (X), Jump (Y)
*Page Two: Hammer (A), Double Hammer (B), Triple Hammer (X), Quadruple Hammer (Y)
*Page Three: Grab (A), Drill (B), Glider (X), Boat (Y)
There is also no run command in the game since the game no longer places a focus on chasing Paper Toads and focuses instead on the RPG aspect.
===Battle===
With the addition of Paper Luigi fighting alongside Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario, players take four turns in battles. Paper Luigi controls similarly to how Paper Mario did in the original game, being able to flutter jump and being able to create copies of himself in battle via a battle command. Dodging enemies also no longer uses targets or highlights under the characters, with hints of who's going to be hit being given before the enemies attack, and it no longer gives the option to "block" attacks. 
Bros. Items return from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and serve a similar purpose of being one usage items that can be stocked up on in battle. Attacks that involve all four characters called Quartet Attacks can only be used by Paper Mario and Paper Luigi and cost them QP (Quartet Points).

==Sidequests==
=== Lakitu Info Center ===
Much like the Trouble Center from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, the Lakitu Info Center offers activities for the four plumbers to take part in. The plumbers can talk to two Lakitus: the one on the right offers the task to the plumbers, taking them to the location where the task takes place, whilst the one on the left allows the plumbers to revisit a harder version of the task, also taking them to the location where it takes place. 
=== Quartet Scrolls ===
During the adventure, the four plumbers can collect Scrolls that unlock Paper Mario and Paper Luigi's Quartet Attacks by finding them in hidden spots that are represented by a yellow and red Hammer with a star on it. There are five scrolls that are found in the following locations, Sunbeam Plains, Bowser's Stupid Villa, Star Shrine, Doop Doop Dunes and Twinsey Tropics Dungeon. 
=== Toad Quiz ===
Five Toad scholars, found in Sunbeam Plains, Doop Doop Dunes, Twinsy Tropics, Gloomy Woods, and Mount Brrr, host quizzes with trivial questions mainly about the game's story and characters. To earn a one-time prize (3 Beans of a certain kind), the plumbers must answer all five questions correctly under a 20 second time limit. All five questions must be answered correctly, if the plumbers get one wrong, then they don't get any prize. The questions are picked randomly from a pool and their wrong answers may vary.
=== The Pit of 100 Trials ===
The Pit of 100 Trials involves the plumbers taking on 100 enemies that are harder variants of already existing enemies in the game. The pit is located in Bowser's Castle, with it being accessible via an elevator on the north west side of the main foyer. Entering the pit requires the plumbers to pay 100 Coins to activate the elevator. The enemies located on floors 51-99 are especially strong. Upon reaching floor 100, the plumbers are pitted against Dry Bowser, a clone of Bowser used by Bowser himself to try and toy with mortality. After defeating Dry Bowser, the plumbers receive the Swap Stat Badge.
=== The Battlethon Arcade ===
The Battlethon Arcade involves the plumbers taking on harder variants of the bosses they've already fought. These variants have a different color palette to their original versions. In total there are 11 bosses in the Battlethon Arcade that can be fought under a specific turn limit and conditions. Beating all 11 bosses allows the plumbers to take them all on in a marathon, leading up to the twelfth boss Dry Bowser X.
== Differences from the Original Game ==
* Paper Luigi is added as a playable character, sharing the same characteristics as Paper Mario, being mapped to the Y button whilst Paper Mario is mapped to the X button.
* There's more RPG original characters.
* The story is rewritten to fit in the same world building as the first four Mario & Luigi games. 
* Starlow is absent from the game.
* The option to block attacks has been omitted from the game, following the inclusion of Paper Luigi. The same applies to the run button.
* The target rings have been omitted from the game.
* The Battle Cards are omitted from the game. 
* The paper sound effects are slightly softer and quieter, to make them less grating/in-your-face. Specifically, there's less of a "crinkling" sound and more of a "page turning" one.
*The Battlethon Arcade combines the rules from the Battle Ring in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam respectively, with the bosses in the arcade supporting different color palettes instead of their original color palettes.
