{{Quote2|You'd think I'd be used to facing art and office supplies by now...but this one is SUPER scary! The barking! The biting! Those sharp, sharp staples! Hey, wait! Those staples must be why all of our folded friends can't unfold themselves... This thing must've bit them! It locked them into angry origami forms! BAD dog!|[[Olivia]]|[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]}} | |||
'''Stapler''', '''The Fanged Fastener''', is a member of the [[Legion of Stationery]] and the penultimate boss in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. Unlike the other members, it does not guard any of the streamers, but is instead fought in [[Origami Castle]] as [[King Olly]]'s last line of defense. It is an oversized black stapler with King Olly's insignia on its side, and appears to have a dog-like personality, and is the only Legion of Stationery member to not have any dialogue. | |||
The Stapler's shadow is seen at the beginning of the game in [[Peach's Castle]], where it transforms [[Bowser]]'s minions into [[Folded Soldiers]], ensuring that they cannot unfold themselves. Prior, it was also the one who kept Bowser stuck in his folded form. | The Stapler's shadow is seen at the beginning of the game in [[Peach's Castle]], where it transforms [[Bowser]]'s minions into [[Folded Soldiers]], ensuring that they cannot unfold themselves.

Stapler has three colors of staples: gray, red, and gold, each doing more damage than the last. When it reloads, provided it is not already on gold staples, it upgrades staple types, being equipped with 30 staples of its current type. | Stapler has three colors of staples: gray, red, and gold, each doing more damage than the last.

If Mario is farther away, it will instead use Staple Gun, firing 8 staples at Mario. | ||
After one attack, Stapler will charge up Bite Barrage to attack Mario 16 times, then use Staple Gun to fire the rest of its staples. After using Bite Barrage, it needs to refill its staples, leaving it vulnerable to another attack. | |||
Every time Stapler is hit, one staple is wasted. Thus, it is better to use Jump attacks over Hammer attacks, as Jump attacks four times, while Hammer attacks only once. Using a rush attack with the [[1,000-Fold Arms]] is even better. | |||
When Mario rushes Stapler with the [[1,000-Fold Arms]] and it gets to 1 HP, Mario is prompted to open its "mouth" so wide that it smashes open, defeating it.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1mo0Urg4p8 The Fanged Fastener Stapler Boss Fight Paper Mario The Origami King] "YouTube".
