In battle, Paper Mario uses different mechanics to Mario and Luigi. He is the only character able to perform [[Trio Attack]]s, in lieu of using [[Bros. Attack]]s. He is also the only character able to employ the [[Copy Block]], making six copies of himself (eight and ten if [[Rank-Up Bonus]]es are used) to take hits and increase the damage he is able to deal. Thirdly, his dodge commands are more versatile than Mario's and Luigi's, able to hover in the air longer while using a Jump Dodge and swinging multiple hammers during a Hammer Dodge. Like Mario, Paper Mario has high attack and speed, but he has even lower defense and HP than Mario (though this can be worked around with his Copy Block ability). Along with his low defense and HP, his other weaknesses include his position in formation, the high BP cost of his Trio Attacks (which are lost if either Mario or Luigi faints, while Mario and Luigi can perform Bros. Attacks if Paper Mario has fainted), and a weakness to fire-based moves.
