{{quote|Once these flat paper folks have been turned into Folded Soldiers, we can't turn them back! It seems cruel to fight them, but if we don't, they'll try to fold you into origami too!|[[Olivia]]|[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]}}

The '''Folded Soldiers''' are [[King Olly]]'s origami minions and the main enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. Originally members of [[Bowser's Minions]] made of flat paper, they were folded into origami and kept that way using staples from [[Stapler (boss)|Stapler]]. Through this process, they become zombie-like beings with new loyalty to King Olly, and are hostile towards [[Bowser]], as well as [[Mario]] and his other companions. They speak with slightly folded text boxes and wavering text. If a Folded Soldier sees Mario, it begins to chase after him. If it makes contact, a battle begins.

There are also larger Folded Soldiers called [[Paper Macho Soldier]]s, which are made of papier-mâché rather than origami. These enemies are fought on the field rather than in battles.

After Stapler is defeated, the staples binding the Folded Soldiers are destroyed, allowing them to unfold. However, the minions are not completely confirmed to be restored to their original state until after [[Olivia]] finishes the Thousand Cranes technique Olly started to wish that all of Olly's origami be undone.

Prior to the beginning of the game, [[Princess Peach]] is also turned into a Folded Soldier, and drops [[Mario]] into a dungeon via a trapdoor in [[Peach's Castle|her castle]] after he answers her three questions. She is seen again prior to the transformation of Peach's Castle into the [[Origami Castle]]. Before the battle with King Olly, she is folded into the castle's walls, unable to move or speak. However, after Olivia's wish, she is returned to normal like the origami minions.
