What we see in Paper Jam is most likely just Sticker Star and Color Splash, considering that literally only the basic characters from those games came out when the entire book exploded. Paper Mario 1 and 2 have too many things linking them to the world, and references in later games.
The Goomba King from PM1 for example, shows up in Mario 64 DS, with a grudge against Mario, and in Mario Kart Super Circuit, Bowser's Castle from the first game is seen. Additionally, a physical block from PM is seen in Superstar Saga, as well as some Beanbean stuff in TTYD.
Considering all of this, we can safely declare the first two canon at least, with Sticker Star and Color Splash being books, probably.
As for SPM, who even cares.
