Description

A new paper-crafted Mario adventure unfolds on Nintendo Switch!The kingdom has been ravaged by an origami menace!

Line up scattered enemies and plan your attack to maximize damage with the new, ring-based battle system that requires both puzzle- solving skills and a quick wit.Mario and Luigi receive an invitation from Princess Peach to attend an origami festival and excitedly hurry to Toad Town…but something’s amiss. After investigating the eerily empty town, the duo finds a fearsome (and folded) Princess Peach—she’s been turned into origami by King Olly, ruler of the Origami Kingdom! With five giant streamers under his control, King Olly binds Princess Peach’s Castle and transports it to a distant mountain as part of his plan to re-fold the world.On his journey to liberate Peach’s Castle and repair the ravaged paper landscape, Mario meets Olivia, King Olly’s sister, and the two join forces to put a stop to Olly’s origami onslaught. Even Bowser falls victim to Olly’s plot when his minions are turned into origami Folded Soldiers and betray their Koopa king, forcing him to ally with Mario and Olivia!Battle the Folded Soldiers in ring-based battles that challenge you to strategically line up enemies to maximize damage! Out of battle, Mario can use the arm-extending 1,000-Fold Arms ability in specific spots to interact with the landscape to pull, peel, hit, and more! Join Mario, Olivia, and their companions on a journey of laughter and emotion, thrills, and a whole lot of folding.

  • Pretty good
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch
First, I'm a lifelong Nintendo player and have been playing the Paper Mario series since it first came out when I was a kid. I liked this game for the most part. I give it about...oh, an 86/100. The good: - The graphics of this thing look incredible, and I long to see remakes of the two first games that look like this one did. - The storyline is fun and engaging, and the devs for this game clearly did as much as they were able with the apparent severe limitations on creation of new characters they have to contend with. As ridiculous as the concept of evil office supplies sounds, they made it work well enough. Exactly where else am I going to find a hole puncher that dances disco and has such an awesome boss battle theme? - Speaking of which, the music was really good. I hope a soundtrack is released at some point. - The gameplay was fun as well for the most part, but if there's one thing that kept this game from being truly great, it was the extremely annoying ring puzzles. - Olivia is also super cute and sweet and fun, and a much more memorable character than Kersti and Huey were combined. I would adopt her if I could. - *SPOILER* Olly was exactly the kind of petty, vindictive villain I feel like we need more of. The game really hammered home just how petty and awful his motive was, and fully acknowledges that he did too much to be forgiven. Which is always nice to see in this current hellscape where every villain must be a conventionally attractive dude with bad and/or greasy hair and a sorta sad past that both the author and certain members of the audience will try to use as an excuse for him committing like genocide and other atrocities. This game said no to all that. - The use of the papercraft setting to insert a certain kind of horror into the story at a lot of points was, I felt, also done pretty cleverly. - This is the kind of game that probably only Nintendo could manage to pull off, but what else is new. The bad: - Again, the ring puzzles. Many of them were really annoying, and if you don't manage to figure them out by a certain point then good luck and get ready to waste some uses on a weapon! - I'm hardly the only person to be disappointed with the loss of the first two games' formula and rich world of colorful NPCs and storytelling, and unfortunately, for all that the dev team put in as much personality into the NPCs as they were able to, it really does stand out that they are just barely allowed to make distinct characters anymore. - For every Olivia, there were about 200 generics. - Even the ones they put a tad more distinction into weren't allowed to get TOO distinct; I feel like another thing holding this game back was that issue. It seems the devs themselves might be as annoyed by it as the rest of us are, though, as *SPOILER* this is actually something of a major plot point that the game literally never stops bringing up! At least we all get to suffer together, I guess. - Is it a company policy that if a Nintendo game has a segment where you must navigate a boat down a river, then the controls will be the single most annoying thing you will take on for at least the next decade? - Not to be all "modern games suck, I only do retro!" (and again, for the most part I did enjoy the gameplay) but the battle system in all PM games from Super to this one just does not measure up to the first two. As I understand it, they have a mandate that they have to switch it up in each new title, but to be honest this was a case of fixing something that was in no way broken and was better than its replacements. - I never want to see another generic Toad ever again, good grief. - *SPOILER (sort of)* As funny as the Legion of Stationary was, I really do think that OCs of preexisting species would have been better and more fitting as bosses. The LoS comes out of nowhere and is not ever really explained, which, again, sticks out against the likes of OG PM's and TTYD's bosses and their actually being a part of the world around them. - *SPOILER* And finally...the death of a certain someone at the end felt unnecessary and tacked on, like it was only done to be a quick and easy way of explaining why they will never show up in another game after this one. I do like this game, and will almost certainly be replaying it. But I'm also going to criticize its problems, because they didn't need to exist and seem to have done so anyway for no good reason. I don't know why these weird mandates at Nintendo have been made, but frankly they are holding games like this one back from their full creative potential, and should be majorly dialed down. ... show more

  • Having a blast

I recently had surgery that is going to keep me down for a while. I bought this to pass the time. I turned it on and was amazed at how beautiful the graphics were. The story and game play are fun, challenging and engaging. This game is so pretty, colorful and entertaining. I'm really enjoying it.

My daughter purchased this for herself. She is ready to beat it except she already knows the ending and she doesn't want to see it again. She says it is hours of good healthy entertainment for kids & adults alike, who love Mario.

  • It’s charming and funny!
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch
I know there’s a fair amount of controversy about this one cause one of the developers said some stuff that got old school Paper Mario fans all wound up, but folks waiting for another proper Mario RPG game probably just aren’t gonna get one. The last one was 16 years ago, and there’s been three Paper Mario games between that one and this one. At this point there’s more Paper Mario games that aren’t RPGs than Paper Mario games that are. But I digress. What IS here has been very enjoyable to me. This is my first Paper Mario experience, and I came to it after spending 8 hours trying to like Bug Fables, which is an indie game that is basically the old school RPG Paper Mario but with terribly glitchy platforming and physics puzzle controls. I wanted to like Bug Fables so much, the combat system is great, but the story and characters are bland and after screwing up a switch puzzle for the sixtieth time because of how sloppy the controls are, I threw in the towel. Now if Nintendo would make a game like Bug Fables but use the polish and charm of Origami King, well, I could definitely see why folks hold those old games in such high regard. This game is oozing charm and humor out of every pore, it’s so stinking funny and silly and the graphics are absolutely gorgeous. A game can’t coast on charm and beauty alone though, but frankly I’m really liking what I’m doing so far. I’m about 5-7 hours into the game, and it does start a little slow and hand holdy, but that just seems to be Nintendo’s deal right now. Every game they make has to be easily understood by literally anyone possible. I do appreciate that sensibility to an extent but it does mean this one is a bit of a slow starter. And the battle system is either going to be a like it or hate it situation. Personally I am enjoying it. I really like the boss battles, they’re bizarre and clever. I’m happy to see where the story goes not for the plot but for the jokes and humor along the way. The writing on this game is superb and I have been smiling the whole way through so far. For the OG Paper Mario fans, I do understand why you’re frustrated, but I do think you’re holding on to a dream that is dead at this point. Nintendo isn’t going back, they’re just obviously not interested in returning to the RPG thing. That said, what’s here isn’t a bad game by any stretch, and it shouldn’t surprise anyone given what I’ve seen about the history of these games. It’s a charming, funny, beautiful adventure game. I like it. I don’t think it’s something I’ll play over and over again, but I’m definitely enjoying my time with it. Give it a chance for what it is, and you might enjoy it too. ... show more
