Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam revolves around the interaction of "3D" characters from the "real" Mushroom Kingdom with flat paper characters. Ironically, internally they are implemented as the opposite, with the 2D characters being 3D models and the 3D characters being 2D sprites. 😂

In most Mario games, Donut Blocks are semisolid and cannot harm Mario by falling on him. However, in Super Mario 64, they squish Mario in addition to exploding when they hit the ground, able to kill him as seen in the footage. 😆
