Mario & Luigi Paper Jam on 3DS, crossover between M&L's 3D world and Paper Mario's paper characters. Enriched combat system and meta humour about both universes. Original but less impactful than the solo entries.

Mario & Luigi RPG - Paper Mario MIX (3DS) price, value & rarity
Japanese version of Mario & Luigi Paper Jam, an AlphaDream RPG crossover gathering the brothers in 3D and the papercraft world of Paper Mario. The Japanese pressing is the source version of this novel blend of two Nintendo series, sought by purists who favor the original edition and by Mario RPG collectors. Desirability rests on the region-locked Japanese-version status and on lasting interest in in-house franchise crossovers.
Is Mario & Luigi RPG - Paper Mario MIX still worth playing in 2026?
A crossover between the Mario & Luigi RPGs and the Paper Mario series, Paper Jam has Mario, Luigi and their paper double team up against a double Bowser threat. The playable trio enriches the timing paced turn based battles, with triple attacks and paper card management. The formula stays pleasant, but the writing, tamer than in Bowser's Inside Story, and the recycled setting disappoint a little. For a fan of accessible Mario RPGs or someone curious about this marriage of the two worlds, the title keeps a solid entertainment without being unforgettable.
