37 Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros - Exploring Mount Brrr, Cool Trio Drill Mazes

Dear Readers,

Today I'll talk about exploring Mount Brrr and doing all this cool stuff with Trio Drill, the new move we learn here.

On the platforms to the left I found a Singular Hammer and gave it to Luigi. I gave Mario the Fighter Hammer Luigi had. Inside a crevice I found some Speed Gloves but didn't equip them.

When we step onto some slippery ice, we skate straight across on our tummies while spinning. It looks really cool! Pardon the pun! It may not be so cool if it inconveniences us later on though.

Up here we met some Buzzy Beetles. They retreat into their shells after being attacked, making them invulnerable. They also get hurt from the Fire Flower attack. NOT CANON! They attack by spinning into us. If we counter them while they're spinning fast we end up dizzy.

Before going to the next screen, we heard a thump. Venturing further, we heard it again and looked up. Meanwhile, on the Mount Brrr Summit, King Bob-omb ordered his troops to fire. Morton, Iggy and Lemmy were up here too. One of the cannons fired papercraft hills into Sunbeam Plains and the other one fired Paper Spikes and Paper Paratroopas into Doop Doop Dunes. They all have great voices! King Bob-omb himself sounds just like he did in Super Mario 64! Nice touch :)

Some of the papercraft scenery narrowly missed landing on top of us, but it blocked the way ahead. Suddenly, we all came up with an idea for a new move! The Super Mario Bros 1-1 reprise music started up again!

It's the Trio Drill! With this, we can dig underground and travel along this way. Finally, we can use those dirt paths along walls and excavate those X spots in the ground we saw throughout the whole game! It's gonna be a lot of backtracking!

The next screen in the cave gives us a great chance to use this new move up walls. There are cracked parts in the wall where we can use the charge move and there is a part where we have to avoid spinning sawblades. This made me feel like this was really clever and something special :) in any case, it made me love the game that much more! Nice zoomed out part while manoeuvring a little buried maze too. Nice fresh part of the game!

There's an exit out of the cave up along and we could hear voices. It was Bowser Jr. and Paper Bowser Jr. enjoying the view and talking about their new papercraft! They go back to it. All of a sudden, Toadette popped up behind us! "I knew it!" she said. "That's bad news with a capital B! And N!". She then asked us to find more Paper Toads and to climb the puzzling path to the local Toad Village.

I decided to go back down and see what was out the right hand exit of the cave. Here I found a Bully and a Paper Sombrero Guy. The latter of whom runs away! How am I going to pass the dodge challenge for him?

Anyway, there's a dead end here, so we headed back.
