Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam -- Part 19: Mount Sidequests

Luigi has reunited with the Marios in Gloomy Woods. Go south and send Paper Mario onto the spider web to hit the ! Block. The roots blocking several paths disappear. Take the time to go around and create bridges using Trio Grab. Go east to Toad Village, then north twice. You'll see a couple of Toads by the waterfall, saying they saw Bowser's minions head off to get revenge on Mario. They left a guard behind. They want the bros to defeat it for a reward. The guard they left behind is Roy Koopa. You must steal bombs from the Fly Guys and throw them at Roy Koopa. He'll also take bombs and throw them at you. It takes only three hits, but the Fly Guys will change flight patterns with each hit. Keep moving around, especially when he throws the bombs. You'll get Anti-Air Boots DX as a reward.

Go west to the darker side of Gloomy Woods. Trio Glide through the gold ring for coins. There are Boos holding a Toad hostage. Distract them for a reward. You must stay away from Boos until the timer runs out. Keeping all of the bros safe will earn you the most coins. Run around while a Boo chases you for 1 minute, 30 seconds. Coins will appear and Bob-ombs will drop from the sky. Flames will appear after a while, along with coins. Bob-ombs will drop from the sky again, then flames that move. Once you clear the challenge, collect the coins on the ground. You'll get a Mix Badge DX as a reward. Follow the path around and drop down to the stone brick block. Break it and send Paper Mario through the gap for some coins and an accessory.

Return to the Toad Village and walk to the east. Use the cardboard platforms to reach a spot where you can use Trio Grab to create a path into the nearby Toad House. Cross over into the Card Shop and check out the dresser for a Bros. Ring. There's a warp pipe in the village. Use it to reach North Gloomy Woods, where Flutter is. There's a panicking Toad who had something stolen from him. It's Nabbit, and he springs to the clouds. The clouds will disappear when you jump off them, so plan your path strategically. Plan your path so there are only two clouds to stand on that are next to each other. Catch Nabbit and he'll run to another set of clouds, this one with arrows on it. You'll get a new Bros. Attack, Balloon Blast.

Flutter will take you to the same spot as before, since there are cannons firing higher up the mountain. A Toad informs the bros there's a pipe nearby that leads directly to the village. A Toad greets them, and points out the cardboard platforms leading to a mysterious cave. In the center of town is the final Toad with a quiz.
1. In the storage area in Peach's Castle, which of the following popped out of the wall? A Scaredy Rat
2. Who is this? Shy Guy
3. What attack is most effective against paper monsters? Fire Flower
4. Which of the following Koopalings is bald? Wendy
5. Which of the following does Spike throw? Spike ball
The reward for passing all of the tests is the Mushroom Gloves.
You can reach Bowser's Villa to the east for a couple of items. Head for the cave. The Yoshi there is the friend of the Yoshi the bros raced in Gloomy Woods. He challenges the bros.

It's a long race with obstacles such as ice, springs, and mud. You'll also have to use Trio Hammer. Yoshi will ground pound and throw eggs. The prize is the Speed Gloves. Be ready to stop and switch to the hammer. Jump to dodge Yoshi's attacks.

Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam -- Part 18: Spooky Luigi RPG

The bros have saved all of the Paper Toads, so it's time to head to Mount Brrr via Gloomy Woods. Head towards the entrance of Gloomy Woods. The way north is blocked off, but a Toad mentions the nearby spring platform. Trio Glide onto the nearby platform, then to the tall platform to reveal that it is a spring. It launches the bros into the clouds. There are many coins and enemies here. Go east to find more. Drop through a hole to land on the ground. The one to the southwest will drop you on the cardboard platform forming a bridge to Gloomy Woods in northwest Sunbeam Plains.

Starlow notes that Gloomy Woods seems gloomier than before and thinks something is going to pounce on them. The woods certainly are darker here. Some Swoops fly by, startling everyone. They have to keep going. Starlow hopes Luigi can keep it together. Due east is the Toad Village, but you can't reach it from here due to the bridge. Walk to the west and send Paper Mario up the spider web. Hit the ! Block to make the roots ahead disappear.

Walk to the north and you'll find a tree with cracks in it that look like a mouth. Approach it and eyes light up. Swoops appear from the tree, reveal it's really King Boo and some Boos. They make roots appear, trapping in the bros. Luigi tries to escape that way, but fails, and notices the Marios are gone. He breaks down. Starlow says "Ow" and Luigi gets up. He's on his own. Walk to the east and Starlow says to get her out of the glowing plant. Starlow escapes, upset she got grass clippings in her mouth. Starlow makes the situation worse by making it very clear that Luigi's on his own. She realizes she needs to work on her pep talks. She tries encouraging him, saying he's tall, got a great mustache, and had a whole year named after him. It's basically Luigi RPG now. The pep talk works until some Swoops fly by.

Walk to the north. Luigi's rather slow on his own. Go west. Some Boos laugh and fire blocks the path behind you. A gate to the north opens and you have 1 minute, 30 seconds to cross through it. You can't take a path with Boos on it, so hop over the purple fire. You'll come to a fence and the Boos will laugh again. Take the path where the glowing plants don't flicker. There's another gate ahead. Leaves will start falling. Cross on the side where the leaves fall straight down. Cross through the gate to stop the timer. Go north. It's another challenge to cross the gate, this time within 2 minutes. Hop over the moving purple flames. When you step on the wooden platforms, you'll hit boost pads. There are some wide stairs ahead. Step on the stairs that don't have Boos on them. Near the gate, shadows appear. Step in the middle of the circle without touching the shadows and step out on near the gate. Go through the gate.

Luigi sees someone who looks like Mario from behind. He tries talking to it, but it's really a Boo. There are more Mario illusions here. Walk up the cardboard platform to the left to find a green block. Hit it to make a platform appear. Walk farther to the left and you'll find many Mario illusions staring at something. It's the real Mario, dangling from a tree. Jump and Mario wakes up and lands on Luigi. Starlow's happy to see Mario, since it was touch and go with Luigi. Now they need to find Paper Mario. Have Mario hit the red block to make two more platforms appear. Use them to cross to the right side of the clearing. On the other side, Luigi spies Paper Mario, or someone like him. Go south.

Loop around the water and go north. Use the Heal Block and save your game. Paper Mario's no longer in the area. One of the trees will move. Check it out. Paper Mario will appear. The bros think they've reunited with Paper Mario, but it's really King Boo. He'll breathe fire to start. Some of it will fly over the bro's head. He will then inhale the fire, so jump to dodge it. His crown is pointy, so don't use jump attacks. He'll split into 5 copies and approach the bros, then disappear. Time your counter with the hammer. He'll summon a Paper Boo to bring in Paper Mario. He says not to attack him or his minion if they like Paper Mario. All you can really do is damage King Boo with counter attacks. Use your turn to heal or use the hammer on the Paper Boo. After a while, King Boo will get angry. He'll breathe more fire and split into more copies. This fight is going to take a while. When King Boo is defeated, the Paper Boo will toss Paper Mario back to the bros. Starlow wants to get out of Gloomy Woods and meet up with Flutter to get a ride to Mount Brrr.

Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam -- Part 10: Enemy or Ally?

The way forward is now clear. Before you go north, walk to the south to lower the other drawbridge. There are Piranha Plants here. Walk to the east, near the stone brick block and Wiggler will show the bros another electrified gate. This one has two generators to destroy. The path to the one on the left has a lot of mud, so you'll have to move quickly. For the one on the right, walk up the ramp to the Bomb Bud, then walk up and off the ramp. Use the northern most orange spring to reach the stump you need and throw the Bomb Bud. Wiggler goes on ahead to see if there's more trash. Go west to get a few items, then try to go north.

Kamek appears and places a force field on the path ahead. He is offended when Starlow refers to him as the "non-paper version". He will attack the bros. If the bros are hit three times, it's over. Grab Bomb Buds to throw at Kamek. He'll be moving around, so time your throws. After the first hit, he'll use a force field to defend against Bomb Buds. Starlow notices the force field lowers right as he's about to use his magic. The timing is tricky for this one. The next time, he'll make two copies of himself. Keep track of them as they move, then throw the Bomb Bud when they move backwards. After this, Kamek vows they haven't seen the last of him and flies off. The force field disappears. Starlow notes that Kamek is trying very hard to keep them from Mount Brrr and wonders why.

There's a Lakitu Info Center here, but no new quests. There's a challenge board with prizes for clearing enough challenges. Talk to the other Lakitu at the desk to clear more challenges. The prize for clearing 20 challenges is a Battle Card. Walk to the north and you'll find Wiggler confronting Paper Kamek about littering the forest. Paper Kamek calls him an irritating insect and zaps him with magic, enraging him. He convinces Wiggler that the bros are the enemies and he attacks.

Wiggler charges his attack power and slams onto the ground, unleashing two shock waves. Afterwards, he'll target a bro and spit a seed at them (or more if he's aiming for Paper Mario). He'll then chase a bro, who has to clear out the obstacles with his hammer. Paper Kamek is also part of the battle. He'll give Wiggler a giant paper ball to run on. Paper Mario folds into a boomerang for the Boomerang Guard. Aim at the ball and throw the boomerang back and forth. The ball will move, so keep aiming. Paper Spear Guys will also join the battle. Paper Kamek may also attack with magic. Counter with the hammer and it will hit Wiggler. If you're going to use a Trio Attack, use Trio Kite. Trio Racquet allows you to hit the segments, which won't do any damage. After enough damage, Wiggler will return to normal and you can battle Paper Kamek directly. After a while, he'll revive Wiggler. It is possible that Paper Kamek will fall before Wiggler does due to counterattacks. If so, Wiggler will return to normal and the battle will end.

The bros haven't seen the last of Paper Kamek, according to him. Wiggler doesn't know what got into him, but thanks the bros for snapping him out of it. He's feeling very tired, however. He collapses. Paragoombas appear and carry him off. The bros are sad, until he asks them why. Wiggler reappears as a butterfly, Flutter. He flies them to Mount Brrr.

Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam -- Part 9: Feeding the Cleaning Beast

In Peach's Castle, the Toads say the situation is awful. A Toad spotted the Bowser Jrs. with the princesses on Mount Brrr. That's where Bowser's villa is. I thought he'd pick a more tropical place. At the villa, Bowser Jr. enjoys the view while Paper Bowser Jr. checks out the papercraft that looks like them. The princesses are cold and have no idea where they are. They have each other for company and warmth. They also wonder where the bros are. After a while, they start talking about their appearance. They want to change their hair, possibly going shorter, but someone talks them out of it. The reason being it's not princess-like, but clearly, these people have never met Daisy. Paper Peach suggests changing the dress, but Peach says it's her favorite. The minions watch them with curiosity. The princesses plan a fashion show after they escape to show off their new looks. The minions seem to be in love with the princesses.

Back in Peach's Castle, the Toads are imagining how things are going for the princesses. The bros set off for Mount Brrr, which is north of Gloomy Woods. Toadette says she'll prep a papercraft for the bros. One lone courageous Toad sets forth to help save the princesses. Head to Sunbeam Plains. At level 12, the bros will reach Boomerang Rank. Go as far north as possible, then east once. Use the Trio Grab to move to the north. You'll see Paper Petey Piranha chasing the brave Toad from before. Paper Petey Piranha tosses the Toad away. Paper Petey Piranha will take the Copy Block and make copies of himself. He'll then charge at the bros. Use the hammer to counter. If a copy is defeated, it will fall onto the ground. Two copies will jump into the air and land to create shockwaves. Jump to dodge. After a while, the copies will heal and reform the stack. At some point, all of the copies may be down. Attack the one that lifts its head periodically. They may then shuffle around. Keep track of them, as the real one won't lift its head anymore. When Paper Petey Piranha gets angry it will chase the bros. Remember the order each copy flies to which side, then Airplane Dodge as each copy appears on the ground. If they're not close to each other, a normal jump will suffice. If you're having difficulty keeping all three bros alive, just leave one down so this attack is easier to dodge.

After the battle, go north. There's a Toad Village, with Yoshis present. The Toads have seen a lot of Bowser's minions lately, some working on a gate. The red Toad House has a Toad with a quiz.
1. What does a Paratroopa become when it loses its wings? Choose Koopa.
2. How many fangs does Bowser Jr. have? One
3. Kamek's attacks take the shape of circle, square and what else? Triangle
4. What baddie is this? Hammer Bro
5. What hairstyle does Toadette have? Braids
For winning, you get 3 Speed Beans. When you're ready, go north.

Paper Kamek appears, saying he doesn't have time to deal with the bros. He turns his magic into cardboard to block the path. Walk to the west and you'll find a berry growing on a tree. Jump to grab it. Wiggler is nearby. It's hungry. Give it the berry. Apparently, Wiggler guards the forest, but couldn't because he was hungry. He plows through the cardboard. He blocks the path to the east. He's hungry again, and won't move until he's fed 10 more berries. Walk back to where you found the first berry and Trio Grab to cross the gap. Walk up the stump and cross to the other stump with (X). Use the Trio Hammer on the tree to make three berries drop. Walk around to the left and Trio Hammer the stump so you can reach the berry with Trio Grab. Go north. You'll find some Ninji hiding by the walls. If you hit them with one attack, they'll be able to dodge that same attack, so don't use jump attacks twice in a row on the same Ninji. Dash into the orange spring to the left to jump up to the next platform. There are Paper Spear Guys here. Go south.

On the tree, there's a Paratroopa with a berry. Bowser likes berries and the Paratroopa needs a promotion. Trio Grab it from it anyway. Return north. Use the orange spring to find more berries. Give the ten berries to Wiggler. Unfortunately, he's still too weak to move. It needs dessert. A Yoshi appears with a melon. Of course, Wiggler's favorite food is a melon. Follow the Yoshi and return to the village. The Yoshi is reluctant to give up the melon, but is willing to wager it as a prize in a race. A Lakitu will explain the races. It's a race around the village, where there are tree stumps, mud, and Dash Panels. You can't change directions after you've hit a Dash Panel. You must pass through the flag at the halfway point. Get too close to Yoshi and he'll ground pound you. You can avoid the shock by jumping. Use (X) to jump. Towards the end, move closer to the item shop so you'll hit the spring to jump over the mud. Yoshi reluctantly hands over the melon when you win. He says he has a faster pal in the mountains the bros should challenge. Wiggler enjoyed eating the melon and spitting out the seeds. Wiggler walks east and finds more cardboard. He plows through it with ease.

Go east and walk to the north. There's an electric fence that Wiggler can't get past. Wiggler notices a nearby Bomb Bud that could get rid of the gate. You can't grab the Bomb Bud from where you stand. Walk a little to the south and use the Trio Hammer on the draw bridge. Cross the bridge and Nabbit appears. Grab the Bomb Bud and throw it to the rock Nabbit's standing on. Nabbit falls into the water and the chunks of rock form a bridge. Nabbit jumps out of the water and leaves the Bomb Derby Bro attack behind. Walk across the rock bridge to find another Bomb Bud. Toss it onto the gate's generator by walking up the ramp and pressing (Y). The gate is no longer electrified and drops away. Wiggler goes north to clean up the ahead.
