Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam, a crossover between the Mario and Luigi and Paper Mario series, had a new trailer and details shown off during the November Nintendo Direct. A new card mechanic was shown off, giving the Bros. powerful new attacks. These cards can be unlocked with amiibo from the Super Mario series and feature art from Mario's long history.

Nintendo also showed off giant Papercraft battles where Paper Mario transforms into massive figures for special battles. Paper Mario can use his signature moves outside of battle, such as turning into a paper airplane or slipping sideways through small cracks. Attacks using all three brothers were also shown off.

Nintendo gave the game a release date of January 22, 2016 in North America and December 4, 2015 in Europe.
