'''''Paper Mario: The Origami King''''' is an action-adventure, turn-based [[Genre#Role-playing games|role-playing game]] and 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]] and a new companion, [[Olivia]], opposing the villainous [[King Olly]] and his army of familiar characters turned into origami soldiers, which have taken over the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].
'''''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 title follows the gameplay style of its two predecessors, ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', in which role-playing elements are deemphasized in favor of action-adventure mechanics, which focus on exploration and puzzle-solving instead of character-driven plotlines and [[Experience Point|experience]]-based stat optimization. Also similar to those predecessors is the focus on specific arts and crafts; while the story of ''The Origami King'' is centered around {{wp|origami}} itself, comparable to stickers from ''Sticker Star'' and paint from ''Color Splash'', other materials such as {{wp|confetti}} and {{wp|papier-mâché}} feature in the gameplay. Conversely, this game abandons the format of self-contained levels used by the later installments, using an interconnected world akin to the first two ''Paper Mario'' games. In terms of combat, ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' does not feature a battle system which uses finite items like ''Sticker Star'' and ''Color Splash'', as it instead uses an original ring-based system that prioritizes puzzle-solving instead of strategy, and also introduces real-time combat to the series in the form of the [[Paper Macho Soldier]]s.


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 Olivia land in [[Whispering Woods]] and notice that Olly moved Peach's Castle. They set out to unravel the five streamers, find Luigi, and defeat Olly. Eventually, they get back to the abandoned Toad Town, now being destroyed by [[Paper Macho Goomba]]s. 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. At the top of the tower, the duo confronts [[Colored Pencils]], one of Olly's generals. After defeating the boss, Mario unravels the red streamer.

Mario and Olivia next follow the blue streamer and take a tram station to [[Autumn Mountain]]. On the tram, they meet [[Bob-omb (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Bob-omb]], a happy-go-lucky amnesiac, whom Olivia nicknames Bobby. He tags along with them as they travel to the [[Water Vellumental Shrine]]. Upon defeating the origami [[Water Vellumental]], Olivia gains the ability to fold into the Vellumental and create water. She uses this power to refill a dry lake and the [[Eddy River]], which the trio travel down to reach [[Shogun Studios]], a popular theme park.

Mario, Olivia, and Bob-omb enter the park, finding it almost entirely deserted. They are tasked with finding the park's master key to rescue the park staff, who are trapped in the high castle tower. After traveling through the whole park, they rescue Luigi in the employee area of the [[Ninja Attraction]], who found the master key, mistaking it for the key to Peach's Castle. The trio unlocks the tower gates and enter [[Big Sho' Theatre]]. After participating in three performances, they face off against [[Rubber Band]], another one of Olly's generals. After defeating Rubber Band, Mario destroys the blue streamer, saving the park and bringing them closer to saving Peach's Castle. The park celebrates with a fireworks ceremony, which jogs Bob-omb's memories.

Mario, Olivia, and Bob-omb continue down the Eddy River, no longer blocked by the blue streamer, to [[Sweetpaper Valley]]. They are confronted by Olly and Olivia gets crushed by a massive boulder. Bob-omb recalls a way to save Olivia and takes Mario to [[the Great Sea]]. They sail out to a deserted cruise ship known as [[the Princess Peach]]. The duo find the suite Bob-omb originally stayed in. The lockbox inside, which Bob-omb was looking for, is snatched by Paper Macho [[Gooper Blooper]], which Mario fights off at the deck of the ship. Retrieving the lockbox, the duo return to Sweetpaper Valley, where Bob-omb reveals the lockbox contains his late friend's fuse. He uses the fuse to blow himself up, destroying the boulder and freeing Olivia. Olivia runs off, devastated by Bob-omb's sacrifice, and is only cheered up by Mario donning a [[Goomba Mask]] after the suggestion of Bob-omb's ghost.

Returning the Toad Town, Mario and Olivia find Captain T. Ode, who reclaims ownership of his own submarine. The sub is attached to Sea Captain Toad's ship, and T. Ode, Mario, and Olivia head out into the Great Sea. After clearing the thick fog that covers the sea, they discover the source of the purple streamer at the [[Sea Tower]], but are unable to enter without the three orbs located in [[Diamond Island (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Diamond Island]]. They travel between many islands, eventually meeting up with Luigi on [[Mushroom Island]], who holds the key to Diamond Island. 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. The craftsman shares a set of notes with Olivia before she heads back to the ship with Mario.

Mario and Olivia use the key Luigi obtained to access the submerged Diamond Island, where three temples stand, housing the Trials of Power, Wisdom, and Courage; and the nearby [[Ice Vellumental Mountain]]. The duo must travel up the mountain and defeat the [[Ice Vellumental]] at its peak. After defeating the final Vellumental, Olivia gains the ability to fold into it and utilize its ice powers to access the Trials of Wisdom and Courage. After completing all three trials, Mario and Olivia turn to the Sea Tower and climb up to its peak. At the top, they face off against [[Tape (boss)|Tape]], and upon the stationery's defeat, Mario destroys the purple streamer.

Bowser mobilizes his army, along with Mario and Olivia, onto a new [[airship]], which they use to travel to Peach's Castle. However, they are intercepted by the [[Paper Plane Squadron]], and one large jet dives into the airship, causing the ship to crash into Hotfoot Crater. Mario, Olivia, Kamek, and Bowser Jr. are chased up the volcano by a horde of Paper Macho Goombas, with Kamek and Bowser Jr. staying behind to keep back the horde. Mario and Olivia meet up with Bowser, and the three use the airship cannon to launch to the ground outside of Peach's Castle. Luigi meets up with them, who inadvertently had the key to the castle lodged in his kart's tailpipe. Inside, the group is greeted by Origami Peach, before Olly refolds Peach's Castle into Origami Castle.

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 member, Bowser finally manages to unfold himself. After a pep talk from Bowser to raise Olivia's spirits, the trio confronts 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 that his grudge against the 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 and unleashes his inner rage which turns 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.

In Olly's final moments, Olivia discovers the scribble on him and reveals it was actually a hopeful message that he become a good king. Repentant, Olly entrusts his 999 cranes to Olivia and allows her to use his body as the final one. Luigi, Kamek, and Bowser Jr. arrive with the Origami Craftsman who instructs Olivia on how to make a paper crane. She then wishes to undo all the origami her brother folded, including herself. The thousand cranes grant her wish and carry Peach's Castle back to its proper place in Toad Town. Everyone lands outside the castle along with a restored Princess Peach, and realizes that Olivia is absent.

|A giant polar bear with large claws similar to the {{wp|White Tiger (mythology)|White Tiger}}. It resides in the [[Ice Vellumental Mountain]] on [[Diamond Island (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Diamond Island]]. It can freeze panels on the arena and make them unusable, only thawing with the Fire Vellumental's power or through sliding them. When it is low on health, the Ice Vellumental uses its Ice Maze ability, creating slush on the board and forcing Mario to navigate it to reach the 1,000-Fold Arms panel.

===Critical response===
''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the expansive overworld, graphics, writing, and plot, though its combat system received mixed reactions, being praised for its innovation but criticized for being tedious, unrewarding and lacking complexity. While considered an improvement over ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star|Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash|Color Splash]]'', it was also criticized for many of the same reasons as its predecessors: lack of originality, low variation in characters and their design, few original characters, the absence of traditional RPG elements, and little incentive on combat.
