GameStop has a pre-order bonus available for Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. If you reserve the game, you’ll receive a paper craft character.

The unfortunate thing here is that it seems you’ll only receive one of four characters. GameStop has Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Goomba, but orders will include a random one. In any case, you can pre-order Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam here if interested.

It’s also worth mentioning that Nintendo has something similar up on its Japanese website. You can print out paper characters here. No Yoshi though!
