|''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', known as ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros.'' in PAL regions, and released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015, is a crossover between the ''Paper Mario'' games and the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]]. While attempting to fix a hole in Peach's castle library, Luigi trips and knocks over a mysterious book containing the ''Paper Mario'' world, causing the paper-thin residents within it to spread across the Mushroom Kingdom. Afterwards, Bowser combines his evil army with that of his [[Paper Bowser|paper counterpart]], and they kidnap Peach and her [[Paper Peach|paper version]]. Mario and Luigi must now team up with Mario's [[Paper Mario (character)|paper counterpart]] to set everything right, defeat both Bowsers, and bring all the paper people back into the book.

''Paper Jam'' can be considered the aftermath of ''Sticker Star'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', resulting in the sprite-based residents of one universe meeting their paper-thin counterparts from the other one. Paper Mario can use his paper thin body to perform his own unique actions that will help the brothers, or make copies of himself during battle to deal extra damage or attack multiple enemies at once. Mario and other characters also gain their own papercraft versions which can be used in certain sections of the game to defeat papercraft enemies.
