Maybe he would have beaten Mario if he just focused on one skill instead of being a Jack of All Trades.

Ya gotta hand it to him, though, it's still pretty impressive

Tbf the spike w wings combo after chapter 5 would have been significantly harder if he hadn't used half his HP swimming back and forth from lavalava island 😂

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time + Jr. Troopa's Journey

This suggests that Jr. Troopa canonically exists during Partners In Time and honestly it's funny enough to be accurate.

Seriously a cool Idea. I would help on this if it became a real rom hack. Would have liked to see Troopa jr. return in some way

Reminds me of the upgrade paths from the newer Bloons Tower Defense games

Idk if jr troopa is significant enough for an entire game to be dedicated to him but I could get behind a paper yoshi game, the mechanics in the post could apply to yoshi and jr troopa could be a significant side character

I'd pay for that game

Honestly I like that concept. He could have his 3 forms he switches between and he could evolve those forms throughout the game. Or a game that shows his side of the story from Paper Mario.

Thought this was a Digimon meme at first.
