Paper Toads are paper incarnations of Toads, based on their appearances in the Paper Mario series, that appear in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam . They, along with many other paper entities, came out of a magical book that Luigi accidentally knocked over in the attic of Peach's Castle, and are scattered all across the Mushroom Kingdom. As with normal Toads, they can have differently colored caps and vests, like blue and yellow.
Paper Toads are often extremely afraid of the real world and often hide in areas throughout the Mushroom Kingdom, requiring Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario to find them and assure them of their safety. At first, this is just rounding up the Paper Toads scattered in Peach's Castle, but after leaving the castle the trio has to rescue Paper Toads on missions that the player can initiate through the Lakitu Info Center. In those cases, Lakitus take the Toads back to Peach's Castle. Most of the rescued Paper Toads stay in one of the back rooms in Peach's Castle, behind a door that the player cannot open, though they are seen in other parts of the castle during cutscenes. As they are crafty, curious and dexterous, they use paper and various items in the back room to build things.
Missions are often requested by Toadette, as she requires Paper Toads to help her build Papercrafts. After enough Toads are saved, they create items to send back to the trio. These include a paper trampoline, the Trio Attack Hammer, and the Trio Attacks. Aside from these, they also create the Copy Block and give it to Mario just before he and Luigi leave Peach's Castle for the first time. As the story progresses, many Paper Toads befriend their real-life counterparts. They also have a critical part in the story as being the "Toad Stairs" that take the trio from Mount Brrr to Neo Bowser Castle, and in battle as the Bros. Attack Toad Trail.
