![]() Intelligent Systems ekes quite a lot out of mileage out of this streamlined moveset. Most puzzles are solved with a combination of jumping, hammering, and a handful of abilities that Mario’s companion – Olly’s sister Olivia – unlocks, such as accordion arms to pull or hit things that are out of reach, and folding herself into towering elemental allies to do things like raise the ground itself or refill a lake with water. Here, you’re rewarded for being observant and logical, not for finding the right point-and-click adventure-style combination of random objects. There, the Thing cards you needed to make progress were hidden across the entire world, creating frustrating roadblocks. ![]() The world puzzles are all self-contained too, which is actually a big improvement from Color Splash. I don’t mind this as it helps maintain forward momentum and many of the destinations are quite large, ensuring there’s plenty to do, but it’s certainly not as open as it first appears. At the same time, your progression is still largely linear and signposted – you’ll only ever have access to one new destination at a time, and backtracking isn’t built into the design beyond the use of Toad Town as a hub. This makes for a nice change, creating a better sense of continuity as you trek up into the mountains from Toad Town or ship out to sea. Unlike the last couple of Paper Mario games, The Origami King has ditched the concept of individual levels in favour of one big overworld. King Olly has swaddled Peach’s castle with streamers, turning it into a Christo-esque prison, and Mario must find the source of each streamer and undo them to rescue the princess. The overall structure is exactly what you’d expect, however. It’s a change that frees up Bowser and his minions to play a much more zany role, and for Intelligent Systems to deliver a more intriguing Mario story in general. | Wendy O.The Origami King gets off to a good start, introducing the folded fiend King Olly as its villain. Paper Koopalings ( Larry Koopa | Morton Koopa Jr. Rabbids: ( Ziggies | Pirabbid Plant | Rabbid Kong | Side Eye | Finn | Blizzy & Sandy | Icicle Golem | Calavera | Phantom of the Bwahpera | Bwario | Bwaluigi | Lava Queen) | Spark Hunters ( Midnite | Bedrock | Daphne | Kanya)| Hisstocrat | Boss Brolder | King Ka-Thunk | Prince Bully | Motley Bossblob | Queen Hisstocratīroodals ( Topper | Harriet | Spewart | Rango) | Koopa | Iggy Koopa | Roy Koopa | Lemmy Koopa | Ludwig Von Koopa) | Koopalings ( Larry Koopa | Morton Koopa Jr. Lastly, the four Vellumentals were folded into origami so Olivia wouldn't learn how to use Earth, Water, Fire, and Ice magic circles as easily as her brother.Īfter Mario defeats the Stapler, the staples holding the Folded Soldiers together are destroyed, allowing them to revert back to their paper forms and free them from Olly's control. They would harm the environment by creating Not-so-Bottomless holes that Mario could fall into and take 7 damage. He also created the Paper Macho Soldiers, massive Folded Soldiers who were paper-mâché. Throughout Mario's adventure of removing the streamers guarding the entrance to the castle, the Folded Soldiers are sent to stop him. Using a Stapler brought to life by his magic, Olly converted Princess Peach and the members of Bowser's army into origami, brainwashing them into following his orders. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Folded Soldiers were once regular members of the Koopa Troop until Olly took over Princess Peach's Castle. The Folded Soldiers are King Olly's origami minions and the main antagonistic faction of Paper Mario: The Origami King. Once these flat paper folks have been turned into Folded Soldiers, we can't turn them back! It seems cruel to fight them, but if we don't, they'll try to fold you into origami too! ![]()
