'''''Paper Mario: The Origami King''''' is | '''''Paper Mario: The Origami King''''' is the sixth installment in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series, released on the [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide on July 17, 2020. The game follows [[Mario]] opposing an evil army of origami characters known as [[Folded Soldiers]], ruled by the Origami King, [[King Olly]]; which have taken over the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. | ||
The game follows the gameplay style of its two predecessors, ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. As in these previous entries, role-playing elements are deemphasized in favor of action-adventure mechanics, which focus on exploration and puzzle-solving in individual areas rather than emphasizing character growth over the entire game. Also like the previous games, ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' is focused around an aspect of arts and crafts. Whilst ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' had a focus on stickers and ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' had a focus on paint, ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' is focused around {{wp|origami}}. Similarly, the game's environments graphically resemble crafts, and many of the game's bosses are based around some kind of crafting tool. Unlike the entries directly before, however, ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' has levels that are directly connected rather than being segregated through a level select screen, similar to the first two games in the series. Similar to ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Bowser is not the primary antagonist in exchange for an original villain. ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' does not feature a battle system which uses finite items for combat, as it instead uses an original ring-based system which uses puzzle-solving instead of strategy. | |||

[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] drive to [[Toad Town]] for the Origami Festival after being invited by [[Princess Peach]]. The brothers arrive to discover the town and [[Peach's Castle]] are deserted. Upon entering the castle, they are locked inside and split up, Luigi heading to search for the castle key and Mario heading into the castle foyer. Peach enters the foyer, having been folded into origami, and drops Mario into a dungeon where several of [[Bowser]]'s minions are being held. Mario discovers a [[Magic Circle]] and initiates the [[1,000-Fold Arms]] technique, using them to free an origami girl named [[Olivia]]. After escaping their cell, Mario and Olivia free Bowser, who was square-folded, restricting his mobility. | [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] drive to [[Toad Town]] for the Origami Festival after being invited by [[Princess Peach]].

After defeating the minions, the leader of the origami reveals himself as Olivia's older brother, [[King Olly]]. He summons five streamers from across the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to wrap around Peach's Castle and rip it out of the ground. Mario, Olivia, and Bowser escape the castle in a [[Koopa Clown Car]] piloted by a [[Shy Guy]], but are quickly knocked out of the Clown Car by the red streamer. Bowser is saved by the Shy Guy, while Mario and Olivia fall into a nearby forest. Olly sets Peach's Castle down atop the peak of a far-off volcano. | ||

After defeating the Goombas and finding some Toad Town citizens, they go to search the remains of Peach's Castle and find Luigi. He quickly sets off to find the key to Peach's Castle. | ||
Following the red streamer, Mario and Olivia travel to [[Picnic Road]]. They find the door to the [[Earth Vellumental Temple]], which is locked due to four of the five [[Shell Stone]]s required to open it being stolen by Folded Soldiers. They rescue the stones and return them to the door, giving them access to the turtle-like god known as the [[Earth Vellumental]]. However, the Vellumental had been folded into origami, forcing Mario to fight it. Upon defeating, Olivia gains the ability to transform into the Vellumental and manipulate earth, allowing Mario and her to access [[Overlook Tower]], where the source of the red streamer lies.

The brothers decide to find the island's resident and free the [[Origami Craftsman]] from the walls of his workshop. The craftsman reveals he created King Olly for the Origami Festival using the forbidden Fold of Life. Olly turned on his creator and set out to fold the world in his image, using the Origami Craftsman's notes to fold Olivia.

A mysterious light appears on top of the Sea Tower, and stepping into it transports them to [[Shangri-Spa]], where [[Bowser's Castle]] had crash-landed. The duo meets up with [[Kamek]], who is unable to return to the castle due to the folded [[Boss Sumo Bro]] guarding the entrance. [[Bowser Jr.]] flies in, who's [[Junior Clown Car]] would allow access to Boss Sumo Bro, but is shredded by another on of Olly's generals: [[Scissors (boss)|Scissors]]. Kamek reluctantly joins up with Mario and Olivia, and the group travels to four of the spa's springs in order to revive Jr. However, when Jr. soaks in the [[Spring of Jungle Mist]] for too long, he ends up losing his color. The group travels to the [[Spring of Rainbows]], which involves winning the game show [[Shy Guys Finish Last]]. The spring restores Bowser Jr.'s color, allowing him to take Mario up to Boss Sumo Bro. The boss is defeated, allowing the group and all of Bowser's minion access to Bowser's Castle again. | ||
Bowser's minions start a large clash with the Folded Soldiers, while Mario, Olivia, and Kamek search for the key to the throne room, which Kamek believes to be in his quarters. Along the way, Kamek disappears, but Mario is able to find the castle key in the hands of Luigi, who once again mistook it for the key to Peach's Castle. Soon after, Olivia is snatched by a shadowy hand and all of Bowser's minions disappear as well. On the way to the throne room, Mario battles [[Big Cutout Soldier|Big]] and [[Li'l Cutout Soldier]]s, until reaching the creature that captured Olivia, the [[Handaconda]], whom Mario defeats in a game of {{wp|rock paper scissors}}. In the following room, the duo finds the cut-up remains of Bowser's minions. They then face off against the [[Paper Mistake Buzzy Beetle]], created by Scissors, before fighting Scissors itself.

After defeating the final Legion of Stationary | Mario, Olivia, and Bowser travel through the newly-folded castle and eventually reach Olly, who summons the [[Stapler (boss)|Stapler]]. After defeating the final Legion of Stationary, Bowser finally manages to unfold himself. After a pep talk from Bowser to raise Olivia's spirits, the trio confront King Olly in his throne room. Inside, they attempt to reason with Olly, before realizing Peach has been folded into the rear wall of the throne room. Olly reveals his grudge against Toads originates from a scribble the Origami Craftsman left, which Olly believes was left carelessly. He has already folded 999 origami cranes, and intends to use Mario to create the final crane, which will grant him his wish to turn every Toad into blank scraps. Olly engages in battle against Mario and Olivia, using his own versions of the Vellumentals. After being defeated by Olivia's Vellumentals, Olly folds himself into a large sumo wrestler, which Olivia counteracts by folding Bowser into a giant origami sumo wrestler. Mario assists Bowser in knocking Olly off the platform, but Olly rises again as a giant version of his normal self, his rage turning into a poisonous gas. Olivia summons a massive Magic Circle, which when completed, transforms Olivia into the design given to her by the Origami Craftsman: a giant hammer, defeating Olly for good. | ||

The overworld exploration is quite different from the series' standard; whereas the previous three games were either sorted into individual chapters or levels, ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' switches to a completely open-world style of progression, with Mario being able to travel to any of the game's locales completely on foot like the first two games. The game's combat system has also been overhauled: at the start of each turn, Mario can rotate and slide rings of a circular battle arena, lining up enemies for consecutive attacks, although the number of ring moves and allotted time are limited. Performing a [[First Strike]] deals preemptive damage to a single enemy, and as Mario's HP increases, First Strikes will be able to defeat certain enemies without going into battle against them. Mario has permanent Boots and Hammer attacks and may equip stronger variants that break after a while, and timed button presses can increase damage when attacking.

Mario has permanent Boots and Hammer attacks and may equip stronger variants that break after a while, and timed button presses can increase damage when attacking. Lining up the enemies successfully will increase Mario's attack power by a factor of 1.5. [[Coin]]s can be spent to extend the time limit (at a rate of 10 coins per second), or call the Toads that have been saved to assist Mario in battle. Boss battles use a different system in which the player rotates and slides the rings to line up arrows, making a path for Mario to attack. | ||
[[Olivia]], a character new to the franchise, has a role similar to [[Kersti]] and [[Huey]] from ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' respectively. Once a [[Vellumentals|Vellumental]] is defeated, Olivia can transform into the Vellumental while standing on [[Magic Circle]]s, an ability that carries over into battle. Additionally, partners return to ally with Mario and aid him in battles, including [[Bob-omb (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Bob-omb]] and [[Kamek]]. They will automatically attack enemies after Mario has used up all his given moves, although there is a chance their attacks will be unsuccessful. Various partners join and leave Mario's party at various points in the story. | [[Olivia]], a character new to the franchise, has a role similar to [[Kersti]] and [[Huey]] from ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' respectively.

Accessories grant Mario benefits both in battle and on the overworld. Toads can be found on the overworld, folded into various shapes. Hitting these Toads with the hammer will cause them to unfold and return to [[Toad Town]], some of which open shops.

In the settings menu, there is an option to control certain aspects of the game with motion controls or entirely with the controller buttons. This applies to the 1,000-Fold Arms, fishing, and the Super Marino. Three settings are locked with four question marks. They are unlocked by going to the [[Battle Lab]]. The first unlockable setting offers hints for battles with the [[Puzzle Solver]], the second adds time to each battle's clock with the [[Timer Extender]], and the third lets the player control the amount added. | |||
