One more dive into Paper Mario: The Origami King is here to show off more of the worlds and levels we will be exploring in this Paper Mario adventure
July 17th, that is this Friday, will have us all jumping into the world of Paper Mario: The Origami King and it looks like there will be much more than expected here. In terms of worlds, that is, as it looks like Nintendo has offered us a new look at the various locations and areas we will be running around in within the game. Not too shocking given the fact it is just a Paper Mario title here and the big difference from before is the villain and setting. All of which looks like it will be a whole lot of fun on the Switch if you enjoy these kinds of games as I do. It is just another fun twist on these style of platformers and all something to enjoy during these darker times.
In this trailer, we are given a look at a few more of the “worlds” in Paper Mario: The Origami King here and what has led us to need to save them. That or figure out what the Origami King has done with them along the way. Given the fact that even the usual big-bad of the franchise, Bowser, is affected by all of this it has to be something serious. All in the nice little way that the Paper Mario titles bring it to us. Have a look at the latest handful of worlds we will be exploring in the game just below and get ready to take the deeper dive tomorrow.
Learn All About The World Of Paper Mario: The Origami King
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.
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.
Is any of this truly new for the Paper Mario franchise and are all of these just rehashes of old worlds? How do you think each will feel truly different besides just the “skin” that will be slapped over it all? Will some worlds introduce new gameplay mechanics along the way or will it all stick to the same things we normally know? Let us all know down in the comments. If there is anything further to share for Paper Mario: The Origami King, I will share it here on the site. Please keep checking in for all of that and a bunch more.
