[nefarious orchestral music] [male VO] -Princess Peach's castle...
has been seized by...
origami?!
The sudden appearance of King Olly,
the Origami King, has thrown the world into disarray!
And so, in the paper-crafted universe of the Paper Mario series,

Paper Mario: The Origami King. [music ends]
[big band jingle]
[noble orchestral music] [male VO] -Mario sets out on his latest journey around the world
searching for the ends of five massive streamers
that have unfurled from Peach's castle.
A forest spring... an autumn mountain...
a ninja-filled mansion... an underground sewer system...
a desert oasis.
Untold trials await Mario in an array of captivating landscapes!
Wielding mighty paper techniques,
you'll help Mario unfold new paths, explore vast regions,
unlock the secrets of an ancient ruin,
brave the raging rapids, take center stage,
go island-hopping, appear on a quiz show,
and even duke it out in an aerial battle!
And what's an adventure without companions to share it with?

[calm woodwind music] [male VO] -Meet Olivia,
Mario's steadfast travel companion.
However, she's also King Olly's sister.
Determined to foil her brother's plans,
this bright young lady helps Mario out of all sorts of jams.
During Mario's journey, he'll cross paths with a variety of characters.
A Bob-omb who's lost his memory...
A Toad professor of ancient history...
And the Magikoopa with a penchant for...
cleaning? Kamek.
Some of them will even aid in battling Mario's enemies! [music ends]
[big band jingle]
[flashy orchestral music] [male VO] -Make contact with an enemy, and a battle begins!
This grid of rings is the stage on which battles will unfold.
A fresh take on Paper Mario battles,
you'll first want to arrange enemies in advantageous positions
to turn the tide of battle in your favor.
These enemies may look like they're scattered at random...
But spin like this...
and slide like that...
and voila! They're all lined up!
Choose the right weapon for the job
then attack! Stomp on foes...
or hammer them home!
The key to victory lies in whether you can get the enemies in line before time runs out.
Use items like the Fire Flower,
the Tail, and the POW Block to take down your foes,
classic Mario style!
[music ends] And while regular battles offer a great challenge,
boss battles really up the ante.
[intense synth music] [male VO] -The menacing members of the Legion of Stationery
guard the ends of the streamers in each region.
Presenting the sharp set of twelve Colored Pencils,
followed by the big, bouncy body of Rubber Band.
And the stout, shifty, and sticky Tape to cap things off.
These frightening foes each attack with their particular penchant for pulverizing paper.
Unlike regular battles, in boss battles,
you'll spin and slide the ring grid
and build a path for Mario to reach his destination.
Guide Mario along a route that will let him deliver a blistering attack!
Locate your adversary's weak point...
and tear them to shreds! [music ends]
[big band jingle]
[euphoric orchestral music] [male VO] -Throughout this vast world,
you'll find poor Toads who've had their forms altered by the Origami King.
This is a Toad.
This is also a Toad.
And yep, you guessed it-- a Toad.
And who knows? Finding all these Toads might just prove to be worth your while!
You can also toss confetti to repair holes torn in the landscape,
investigate suspicious spots to find hidden items,
and try your hand at fun mini-games to earn in-game rewards.
Leave no page unturned as you travel the world in search of secrets and treasures!
[music ends]
[flashy big band music] [male VO] -The Origami King's pernicious plot is unfolding.
It's up to Mario to set things right!
