Description

A new paper-crafted Mario adventure unfolds on Nintendo Switch!The kingdom has been ravaged by an origami menace! Join Mario and his new partner, Olivia, as they battle evil Folded Soldiers, repair the damaged landscape, and try to free Princess Peach’s castle from the clutches of King Olly in this comedy- filled adventure, only on the Nintendo Switch system.Master strategic, ring- based battles. 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.

  • It was greatly enjoyed.

  • 1 OF MY FAVORITE GAMES!
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch
Wow, what can I say? This game is AMAZING. It's so CREATIVE, and just so fun to play! I'm sad I'm at the end and almost finished but there's so much to see and do and explore in this game that I can def go back and collect more trophies and stuff. I love the whole concept of it and the idea behind it, not to mention the art and the artistic direction! Keep it up, Ninetendo! now, I haven't played any of the previous paper mario games so I can't compare it to that, but on it's own just as a paper mario noob I am in love! I wish all the games were this fun on switch. I know one thing I was concerned about was the battle system in this game. But, I'm at the end and I'm still not sick of it! It's challenging and fun, and doesn't get old like you think it might. For anyone who loves adventure games with lots of creativity and fun, this is for you!!! ... show more

  • Divisive if you're looking for reasons to be upset
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch
I'll keep this brief. If you want official clones of The Thousand Year Door, you won't get them ever again, I'm sorry. Nintendo had two Mario RPG series, so they decided to take Paper Mario and make it about paper instead of being strict RPGs, and let the Mario and Luigi games be the RPGs. Paper Mario: The Origami King is the closest the series has been to the original two Paper Mario games in terms of style and feel. The battle system is fun and gets increasingly difficult to handle later, and the boss battles are great puzzles. If you want to hate this game, you will hate it. If you demand that it be exactly like the originals, you will hate it. If you accept that it is a different game and you enjoy the humor and wit of the original games, there's a good chance you'll like this title. Easily the best Paper Mario since the originals, I don't regret buying it in the slightest. ... show more

  • Great Game
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch
I finally beat the game and it was an amazing and joyful experience. I am reviewing this game based on its gameplay experience, and not comparing it to previous paper mario games. It did take me quite a bit of time to finish it due to limited hours (fatherhood takes up time). The graphics, the soundtrack, and the story kept me intrigued and wanting more as I kept progressing. I grew emotional love for some characters that I did not expect. Put all the RPG elements and comparisons to the side, and this is a fantastic game. Can’t wait to 100% complete the game (item boxes, treasures, toads, etc.), and possibly replay it. Even for the younger gamers, the game implementa settings that will make it less challenging for first time players as you progress. ... show more

  • Just incredible!!
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch
Do yourself a favor and buy this game! The music is incredible. The set designs are amazing. The character models are imaginative and fun. The gameplay concepts are original and bring SO much uniqueness to the table. The writing is funny. The incentive to explore is unparalleled. The unique battle system is charming. Best Paper Mario game ever, in my opinion. Just amazing. They really outdid themselves! I'm even tempted to 100% the rest of the game now that I've beaten the main storyline, and I almost never want to do that. It's just so fun to play though! ... show more

  • 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

  • Great, different kind of RPG for old and new gamers
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch
I had to finish the game first before rating it. I have done that. I haven't played the other Paper Mario games so I can't compare it to the other ones. Its an RPG with puzzle like fighting. Its different than your traditional RPG fighting machines. You get used to it and its a fun. The game asks you if you need help when you lose a bit which helps for younger players, and the game has funny dialog throughout. Its a good game, and a great one to get your kids into RPGs. ... show more
