Another great game for the 3DS. First party games tend to have a certain quality to them which is why they're hard to catch on sale. Mario games particularly have a certain charm. This remains true here. The obvious comparison is with Dream Team, the previous Mario RPG type game on the 3DS, and with Sticker Star, the previous PAPER Mario game on the 3DS. Dream team had some issues, it was kind of slow and very wordy. The tutorials were known to drag on. Sticker Star.. well it was a game that not many enjoyed for various reasons. None of that is present here. The Paper Mario aspect fits in well and suffers none of Sticker Stars problem and the tutorial issue from Dream Team has also been fixed. This game is fun to play and is the high quality product you'd expect. It is well worth the investment. One thing to note: make sure you have the right Amiibo if you plan on using them with this game. They're not necessary, but do add to the game.

I was a little nervous first buying this as I'm not too familiar with the Mario & Luigi series. I've played Bowsers Inside Story and loved it then Dream Team and hated it. Reviews I've read were very mixed on this some saying they loved it others saying it was boring. Playing it for myself I can say I LOVED IT the plot and story are typical Bowser and Bowser Jr take Peach and Mario & Luigi save her. The battle mechanics are phenomenal if you are into turn based RPG fights where this game shines is the inclusion of the Paper World. Paper Mario adds excellent trio attacks to the group and the humor between all 3 characters is awesome. The game also has Papercraft Battles which is basically a cartoony giant robot mech style fights that I loved. There are filler objectives like Paper Toad Hunts which can be very tedious but it's not so bad that it takes away from the game. The game can however be very challenging at times with boss battles but with things like battle assist and optional tutorials it can be overcome with enough practice. Overall it's a very basic turn based RPG that will give you around 30-40 hours of gameplay that's very funny with its humor and can provide a decent challenge for those who want it.

Mario and Luigi Paper Jam is the latest in the Mario & Luigi series, and might be among my favorites of all the Mario RPGs, though fans thinking that this is a 'Paper Mario' game, might be disappointed. It is much more accurate to say that it is a Mario and Luigi game featuring paper Mario and paper characters. Pros: - Beautiful spritework style carried over from Dream Team - Easy to pick up, but offers expert challenges for veterans of the series - Gone are finicky gyro controls for some attacks, as well as forced tutorials, which are now restrained to a menu to look at your leisure - Satisfying Combat with interesting Battle-card Mechanic - Enjoyable writing and dialogue Cons: - Some of the flashier attacks can drag on in length - Saving paper toads, a requirement which is achieved through the completion of minigame-like events, can sometimes be grating - The story is par-for-the-course Bowser kidnapping the princess, doesn't that much new beyond the whole 'paper' concept - A good deal of battle cards are locked behind Super Mario amiibo, which cannot be used if the amiibo have data on them already (i.e. Super Smash Bros.)

Let me counter any reviews who claim this game is underwhelming by saying that my experience with this game so far has been great. I go into this title having no experience with "Mario and Luigi" duo games, but am very familiar with the "Paper Mario" series. This game does a great job of giving homage to both versions, and really does a fantastic job of implementing the two worlds into one storyline that makes sense enough for a video game, and is engaging. The first time I played this game, I played for two hours straight. I kept thinking I'd take a break and found that I didn't want to - eventually my battery ran out on my 3DS and I had to quit. Additionally, this game makes great use of the 3DS controls - it's very intuitive that Mario, Paper Mario, and Luigi would each get their "own" button for this game. I feel like I'm getting almost maximum use out of every button on the 3DS - the only button that doesn't serve any purpose yet is the D-pad. Overall, this game works really well. Pick it up if you're looking for something to dive into.

Paper jam is a run of the mill Mario and Luigi title. If you played the others in the series, you played this one. The toad mini games are very bland and elongate the game too much. But the humor is still funny and the gameplay is still a blast.

Mario & Luigi Paper Jam is a strong addition to the Mario & Luigi series. Paper Jam offers one of the best battle systems in the series. Many of the attacks are different patterns and keep the combat varied. The story is silly and offers lots of laughs. Seeing the paper mario characters and enemies standing next to the mario & luigi characters is a very cool touch. Mario & Luigi Paper Jam is fun RPG adventure that any 3ds owner can enjoy.

I have played every Mario and Luigi and paper Mario game up to date so far. I truly enjoyed the collaboration that they did with this one. The humor is very silly. The gameplay is very enjoyable. If you enjoy paper Mario or Mario and Luigi, You will enjoy this one too!

This game is the fifth Mario & Luigi game, and although it doesn't completely live up to that legacy, the game is fairly fun. The game lacks a deeper story and new characters that series is known for, but the battle system is very fun. This game is very well suited for beginners, and if you love Mario games in general you will have a good enough time here.

It's not perfect, but Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam manages to retain the the enjoyability of the past Mario RPGs. While chasing Paper Toads gets repetitive and enemies sometimes litter the map more than you'd care for, the battle system is by far the best in the Mario & Luigi series. Having Paper Mario makes for some hilariously enjoyable attacks, while the Bros. Attacks system from Superstar Saga returns in full form. Composing the soundtrack is longtime Mario & Luigi composer Yoko Shimomura, known for her soundtracks in Kingdom Hearts and even Super Mario RPG for SNES. Music is catchy, lively, and sometimes haunting. It fits the atmosphere and her style is varied. The music is one of the key points of the game. The Paper Toad minigames are fairly numerous, but end quickly. They don't break the pace too badly, and the core gameplay is largely enjoyable with the wit and references to the Paper Mario universe. Any classic Mario fan will like this game.

Been a few years since Nintendo's done this series right. Fixes the overexplanation, demos, and absurdly difficult combo attacks of Bowser's Inside Story and Dream Team entries, and avoids the boring, poorly-implemented sticker-based attacks of the last Paper Mario game, Sticker Star, by keeping the battles strictly M&L mode. Retains the humor the series has become known for though, and while Mario and Luigi's attacks are mostly identical, it's nice to see a whole different attack and equipment set for Paper Mario. Some new features like identifying the target of enemy attacks helps youngsters and average gamers, but can turned off for a greater challenge. Not perfect though as the game is somewhat imbalanced: towards the end of the game you're much too strong for the enemies you're facing and so its not much of a challenge compared to earlier games of the series. I really enjoyed it though, certainly much more than either Dream Team or Sticker Star.

This game by Nintendo entertained my younger sibling. He plays it in long car trips and when he is given free time at home, he chooses this one over the other games he owns.

I gotta say, I am 3 hours in and absolutely LOVING it. They made Paper Mario such a bada** in this game. I played Dream Team and Sticker Star and having both these worlds together is like seeing your favorite band members in a super group. There's lots of new concepts introduced and new moves yet everything feels familiar. Bravo, Nintendo, I hope this game gets the good reviews it deserves from everyone!

Latest installment of the Mario and Luigo series is definitely entertaining and does away with the bothersome tutorials of the previous 3DS title. Good gameplay value and fun battle system to keep things fresh.

Still all the fun of Mario, but in RPG form. I was pleasantly surprised. The story is easy to follow and it's not a challenging game. It is entertaining.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam is a great crossover with the Paper Mario series. While it often feels like Paper Mario elements/characters are featured rather than actually crossing over, a lot of new ideas are brought to the table. The battle system especially benefits from the addition of Paper Mario; adding ideal complexity and strategy. My favorite element of the game is the soundtrack (particularly Mount Brrr). I highly recommend this game and hope that this isn't the last we see of this crossover.

I really really enjoyed this game. Ever since playing super Mario rpg back in the day, been wanting a new style of one to come out and this game answered all of that and more. The story line was great, battles were difficult at first while learning attack patterns but then made to be much easier once you get it done.

fun, funny and great game. great addition to the Mario RPG series. is not too hard, so anyone can enjoy it

Initially a little mislead by the Paper Jam title, as this is not from the Paper Mario series, but from the RPG series with characters pulled from the Paper Mario games. It was enjoyable, but didn't have ability to pull us in as the other RPG titles did. It is a solid game, but either the storyline wasn't as captivating enough, or the familiar gameplay wasn't updated enough to make it all shiny and new. Either way it is a good game, especially if you haven't already played (and re-played) the other Mario RPG games.

Definitely a step up from Dream Team, no more constant tutorials and having paper mario is fun

This game is a perfect starting game for any new to the Mario and Luigi saga. With a story that combines worlds perfectly, and puzzling puzzles, it mixes old with new. It also is in a way a sandbox game. Want to reach the Rainbow Rank? Go ahead. Want to save all the Paper Toads? Go ahead. With all the variety, this game is definitely an amazing success. Also, huge Papercrafts are huge.
