12 Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros - Trio Hammer, Pokey Ambush

Dear Readers,

Today I'll talk about learning some more new moves and about the treacherous bridge where the Pokey and Paper Pokey lurk.

Starlow teaches us about the Trio Hammer, a move that uses all three of our hammers to break big cracked rocks. Nice move. We head south afterwards but maybe we shouldn't have. A Sandmarrgh and a Paper Bob-omb are here. We try out the Rocket Blast. It's quite nice and I'm not just saying that because of namesakes! You don't have to press buttons rapidly, just time 2 hits and steer for the last hit.

We finally make it up the hill and walk along the bridge, but there is a Pokey and a Paper Pokey waiting for us here! They shake the bridge and we fall off all the way down into Doop Doop Dunes Grotto. They are tall Pokeys. We can see their lower bodies down here.

Now we must find a way to get those Pokeys out of the way. We meet Paper Spinies down here too. With each new enemy, more expert challenges pop up. Looks like more Sandmarrghs are down here as well and we're not used to fighting them yet. We've got our hands full!

The music down here in Doop Doop Dunes Grotto is pretty cool though. It's a variation of the Super Mario Bros. underground theme but played with low piano keys and a cymbal tap. It gives the feeling of the place being kinda dangerous and also kind of like it's some kind of spy thriller going on.
