It seems as if King Olly – who claims to be the ruler of the Origami Kingdom – has hatched a devious plot in unleashing his plan to fold the entire world. It looks pretty dangerous on paper, so someone who’s a cut above the rest is needed to save the day. In Paper Mario: The Origami King Mario faces one of his most thrilling challenges yet. Just when matters couldn’t get worse, King Olly has bound Princess Peach’s Castle in giant, coloured streamers and transported it to a distant mountain. He’s even transformed Bowser’s minions into Folded Soldiers and enlisted them in his treacherous cause. Luckily, Mario is equipped with a range of new tools at his disposal to help secure victory. A new ability called 1000-Fold Arms allows players to interact with the landscape by stretching out and pulling, peeling and revealing new locations, helping you solve puzzles and uncover unexpected surprises. Along the way, players will enlist the help of allies old and new, such as King Olly’s very own good-natured sister, Olivia, along with a range of unlikely allies. Even Bowser himself hasn’t yet folded to the whims of King Olly’s origami will, and Mario will accept all the help he can find with open arms.

I loved this game all the way through playing. The dialogue was funny and well thought out and the collectables were very satisfying to nab. The battle system was, questionable but it grew on me. The bosses were actually somewhat of a threat which is surprising for a Mario game. The story was abit silly and outlandish but hey, its a Mario game, when does the story have to make sense. If you don't like circles or paper cuts, this game isn't for you. Now that the wimps have left, if you like Paper Mario and minimal RPG elements, this game is for you!!
The battle system is divisive, but I enjoyed it. The puzzle aspect adds a new aspect to almost every battle.
I say almost every battle because this game introduces real time battles to the series. No transitions, no arena, no battle items. Just you and your hammer. There's even a real time boss battle which is easily the best of the whole game.
What everyone can agree on is the charm is still there, the visuals and the soundtrack are amazing.
The game is more addictive than I expected, the launch reviews and gameplay videos did not get me interested. Grabbed it on sale and popped the cart in to get the Nintendo points and gave it a test run, I haven't changed the cart yet. It's actually a bright colourful fun game. You can buyunlock upgrades that make the puzzles easier or leave them off for greater challenge.
Thought it was gonna be a bad game due to the changes the made, boy was i wrong. Its a beuatiful game and well put together the battle can get a little repetitive but they are fun still.
