Step into a paper-crafting world unlike any other with Paper Mario: The Origami King, where Mario must rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of King Olly, a powerful origami villain bent on folding the entire Mushroom Kingdom into his origami army.
This Nintendo Switch exclusive reimagines the Paper Mario series with a brand-new battle system that combines strategy and creativity. Instead of traditional turn-based combat, players engage in ring-based battles where timing and positioning are key. Rotate rings to align enemies, then use Mario's various hammers and abilities to deal maximum damage. The battles are challenging yet accessible, making perfect for both seasoned RPG fans and newcomers to the series.
Explore beautifully crafted environments where everything has been meticulously folded and designed. From the vibrant Toad Town to the mysterious Mount Rugged, each location feels like stepping into a living pop-up book. The game's stunning visual style combines 2.5D gameplay with intricate paper textures that bring the world to life in ways you've never seen before in a Mario game.
Join Mario on his quest alongside a memorable cast of characters, including the origami-obsessed Olivia and a variety of Toads who have been folded into various shapes. The game maintains the series' signature humor while delivering a surprisingly heartfelt story about friendship, purpose, and what it means to be yourself.
Whether you're playing on the go at home, Paper Mario: The Origami King takes advantage of the Switch's versatility. The intuitive controls work well in both handheld and docked modes, making it easy to jump in for a quick level or settle in for a longer adventure. With dozens of hours of content, clever puzzles, and collectible origami spirits, this game offers exceptional value for Nintendo Switch owners looking for something beyond the usual Mario platformer.
