Paper Macho Soldier
This article is about a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this article may need major rewriting.

A Paper Macho Soldier, or Paper Macho, is a type of enemy appearing in Paper Mario: The Origami King. They are giant versions of Folded Soldiers and are the ones responsible for the Not-Bottomless Holes. Their name is a portmanteau of paper mâché and macho. Unlike the regular Folded Soldiers, Paper Macho Soldiers are battled while remaining in the overworld.
To defeat Paper Macho Soldiers, Mario must hammer their weak spot marked with King Olly's insignia. If there are no weak spots remaining, a flag with a sad face will appear above it and hammering it anywhere a few more times will defeat it, releasing a lot of confetti. Most Paper Macho Soldiers attack by charging at Mario.
Scuffle Island is an arena where Mario must battle seven Paper Macho Soldiers in a row.
