20 Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros - Escaping Twinsy Tropics Dungeon with Trio Grab, Bowser Jr. and Paper Bowser Jr. Hate Guard Duty

Dear Readers,

Today I'll talk about escaping the Twinsy Tropics Dungeon, learning the Trio Grab to get the key. Some story also happens in Bowser's Castle.

After recovering our move blocks from the Hammer Bros., we go to the next screen and have to deal with a couple of more. After them, there's a big locked door and a sign nearby that warns about a rickety bridge. It leads to a big key that'll help us escape though, so we go down through the little tunnel and try to get it anyway.

Paper Mario should've crossed that bridge on his own! He's made of paper! He wouldn't be heavy enough to make that bridge break, right? Instead, it breaks under all our weight and we fall down the big hole. I love the echo from Mario's voice as he says "Oh no!".

If it wasn't for that happening though, we wouldn't have climbed back up by ourselves and discovered the next move! Starlow comes out to check on us and we show her the new move: Trio Grab! The joyful Super Mario Bros. 1-1 reprise starts playing again. :) I also love the way the characters look at the camera when we're learning something! Loved that in Dream Team Bros., where crowds of people looked at the camera during the first tutorials!

With this, we can all stand on each other shoulders. With Paper Mario in the middle, we can stretch and reach stuff that's far away. From the guide, I see that we can grab those red posts now! When we get out of here, we'll have to do some backtracking to posts we saw earlier and maybe find some secrets!

When we open the door, some story takes place in Bowser's Castle. Bowser Jr. and Paper Bowser Jr. are about to throw the book away, when they figure it could come in handy for some future fun and mayhem. They decide to show it to their dads, who are nearby and delighted at the news from Magikoopa and Paper Magikoopa that they captured the Mario Bros. and Paper Mario. They also have Toads captured and doing physical labour, as we heard earlier from the jailtoad.

Bowser Jr. and Paper Bowser Jr. try to get their dads' attention, but they say they're too busy and order them to go guard the princesses. They even mix their own sons up! The juniors throw a tantrum, saying guard duty is boring. Magikoopa suggests taking them to the villa, whatever's in store there...

Meanwhile, Princess Peach and Paper Princess Peach are in their cage. Paper Peach brings out the cardboard replica of herself and the other Peach says "If I have to say, "Save me, Mario!" one more time, I'm going to scream" which is pretty funny! Can't blame them for feeling frustrated about being kidnapped! The Bowser Jr.s then show up, announce that they're heading to the villa and that they're taking the Peaches with them.
