It would seem that Nintendo is taking a page out of the comic books we have come to know and love that take two branching parallel universes of continuity and story and smash them together. Enter, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros.
When luigi from the Mario & Luigi universe stumbles across a mysterious book in Peach’s Castle, an accident causes the characters of the Paper Mario Universe to spill out of the pages and cause havoc. Mario, Luigi and new friend Paper Mario must team up to thwart the combined might of Bowser and Paper Bowser and restore the Paper Mario inhabitants to their own universe.
With this crossover, the latest Mario & Luigi title is sure to be packed with even more exploration and ene, with an onslaught of new Trio Attacks to rain down on enemies and Paper Mario’s ability to create duplicates and enhance his power. There are also Paper Craft Battles, tasking players with taking down Bowser’s minions with a Dance Off. These rhythm based combat segments are sure to add some variety to the combat mix.
There is also a bevy of new puzzling challenges waiting for you, with Paper Mario’s flat nature allowing him to slip through cracks and reach areas his 3D brothers cannot.
Help Paper Mario avoid a “Tearable” fate in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros. when it launches on the Nintendo 3DS in Australia on the 10th of December, 2015. Just in time for Christmas.
