Everyone knows there is no such thing as the perfectly designed video game. There will always be glitches, short cuts and programming errors that can lead to unpredictable and sometimes amazing results. This latest exploit for Mario & Luigi Paper Jam Bros. certainly falls into the last category, as it is now possible to skip every single boss battle in the entire game without the use of a cheat device.
During the course of the game, you are given a set of side quests to save a group of Paper Toads. If you enter Paper Toad Freeze-Out and Tropical Paper Toad Hunt, then manage to find a way to take Mario and friends out of the game area by slipping through a gap in the invisible walls. One of the the easiest ways to do this has been found in Lower Mount Brrr, the location of Paper Toad Freeze Out.
When you have started the mission, simply go to the far left area of the area and stand in front of the wall behind a pile of snow. Simply Trio Drill under the snow and come out of the ground as close to the wall as possible. Then, use the Trio Grab ability and push toward the fence and you will go through the fence. After this, simply go into the door in the rear of the building where you began the mission and you will now have left the mission without cancelling it. The game will no longer have the Toads counter on screen, so simply go your nearest boss battle and lose all your health. If you choose to Return to the Title Screen, the cut scene for after the battle will occur with some minor graphical glitches. After this, you can then proceed as normal if you go to the nearest doorway to another area and pass through it.
If you try to use this exploit to skip a regular enemy encounter, you will restart that battle from the beginning without any penalty or needing to return to the last Save Point. While this skip certainly decreases the difficulty of the game, the fact that it is possible will certainly raise a few eyebrows in Nintendo’s testing departments.
