Template:Character-infobox Handaconda is a giant black papery arm that appears as a boss in Paper Mario: The Origami King, fought in Bowser's Castle. After Mario retrieves the Key to Bowser's Castle, Handaconda snatches Olivia from him. Later, Handaconda ambushes Mario while in a hallway.

Battle

During the first phase of the battle, Mario must use hammer attacks from the second-closest ring until Olivia is freed. Due to the fact that Olivia is trapped, no Magic Circles can be used at this point in the battle. After Olivia is freed, the battle changes to the second phase where all Magic Circles transform into Rock, Paper and Scissors icons, and all attack spaces disappear. When Mario stands on one of these spaces, he will activate the 1,000-Fold Arms and challenge Handaconda to a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, using the symbol he is standing on. If both tie, Handaconda's hand will get bigger. If Handaconda wins, it will attack and Mario must block. If Mario wins, he can deal heavy damage to Handaconda with the 1,000-Fold Arms.
