Description
  • Master strategic, ring-based battles
  • Line up scattered enemies, and plan your attack to maximize damage with the new, ring-based battle system that requires both puzzle-solving skills and a quick wit
  • 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 refold 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

    Very very fun. Will bring you some nostalgia from your childhood.

  3. Zimmy45

    Got this game to give it a try, and was hooked on it! Loved how it played and the battle system was fun!

  4. readytorelease

    Great game, I still didn’t master the boss fights just as yet but I’m getting there and the game is so hilarious you must give it a try for yourself.

  5. Jose

    Just another good paper mario game, if you are a fan you will like it

  6. Ronald

    Honestly this game was much better than I thought it would be. Has a unique charm, isn’t difficult and there re only a few annoying parts.

  7. Samsungrefridgowner

    Got this from my grandsons wish list for a Christmas

  8. TSlop

    Very good game for Paper Mario fans. While it is not quite the same as the original N64 ones, it was still fun to play an RPG type of Mario game again. I would recommend this for any Mario fan that would like to have some laughs with the dialogue as they play through it.

  9. Eleazar

    Great story, gamplay and also difficulty. Most mario games are easy, but this one was good all the way around. Highly recommend it

  10. Apex964

    Pretty good game. Little brother loves it. Graphics looks colorful. Combat could be better.

  11. Nanlta81

    Awesome game! My daughter enjoys playing this game daily. Fun game.

  12. rudy

    Great game I had so much fun with this title. it was like the Wii U version but much better. Great game to invest hours into

  13. H32B

    Great game, lots of fun and can be challenging. Thanks Nintendo!

  14. Kiama

    This one of my favorite game….I would love to play this and this was a next level. Love it

  15. Brian

    My wife loved this game she had a lot of fun with it.

  16. terb

    bought this for my kids and typically they play the free demo games more than this.

  17. Annui

    The sliding puzzle battle system is a bit weird but the overall game design is great. And at least there’s a very slight shift from the standard “Save the Princess” plot.

  18. Kevs

    I haven’t play paper Mario games since the GameCube. This game is great, the RPG gameplay is astonish and fun. Such a great game

  19. jonny

    It’s an entertaining well written vibrant experience. It’s not the paper mario you remember from 1000 year door. Not exactly an rpg. But it’s a fun game worth trying. When I pick my switch up I find myself playing this for short bursts alot.

  20. WizardFlame

    The fighting tactic is new and different, but the story is amazing!

  21. Oscarmusprime

    Fun but not as fun as Color Splash according to my 8 year old. Cant blame Nintendo for trying. Still fun to have more Mario games around.

  22. Oswaldo

    Excellent game, easy to install! Noce service!!! Easy to download

  23. Carlt

    My son loves the game, he likes digital better than disks so he doesnt misplace the game.

  24. Cindyluu22

    Great entertainment to play on the switch my nieces love the game

  25. Mario

    Really fun game, definitely worth your time. Has lots of fun mechanics and environments.

  26. Mark

    I am really enjoying this game, beautiful graphics. People complain on the battle system but I actually really like the change in the battle system.

  27. Adam

    Pretty good – combat is bad but it looks pretty and the writing is really good.

  28. Adela

    Bought this as Christmas gift! I wish i had received an in store code but it was all online.

  29. jihk

    Overall an okay addition to the paper Mario series. Battles do get repetitive after a while.

  30. Markey1

    I have always loved the Paper Mario series and this is a great game. The visuals are stunning. I actually enjoy the new battle system a lot. Worth a purchase!

  31. DADOF4

    Bought at as gift for family member. Played it a while and very fun and challenging.

  32. MrBittermelon

    The Paper Mario series started off strong with its debut game on the N64 and delivered an epic of a tale with GameCube’s Thousand Year Door. However, entries of the series on the 3DS and Wii U have been incredibly disappointing. They lacked the charm and quirkiness that the series was known for. My expectations for Paper Mario and the Origami King were low, but I decided to give it a chance and was thoroughly pleased. The story, the characters, the visuals, and the gameplay felt fresh and had every bit of charm these first two entries of Paper Mario had.

    While many criticize the way in which battles play out, I found it to give the series a bit of challenge that the series had always lacked. If you’re into puzzle solving, you’ll probably enjoy it like myself.

  33. Sean

    Fun at first, but gets repetitive and tedious as it goes by. You’ll find yourself using the Toad shortcuts pretty frequently in combat.

  34. David

    My switch says i played this game for 35 hours or more. I 100% the game. Some points in the game dragged a little too long, but overall the game was fun. The story is nothing crazy, but gets the job done.

  35. Kenna

    Husband loved the game. Has kept him pretty entertained for the past 2 weeks

  36. Teamoney

    Ah Nintendo u did it again. Minimal effort for maximum cost

  37. Jose

    Loving the humor in this game. Very fun storyline and great puzzles. Definitely recommend .

  38. Oberon

    Good Game, it’s a Paper Mario Classic with a good adventure, the game is so beautiful.

  39. Brady

    Amazing story, and the game looks great! Definitely recommend this game

  40. NotNorman

    The new battle system has a decent learning curve but once you get the hang of it, it’s not too bad. But overall it’s a great story.

  41. DrakeB

    Overall fantastic purchase. The entire family enjoys the game. While the combat system can get mundane at time there are a lot of collectibles and humor to keep everyone entertained.

  42. Hecey

    It a very long journey to complete it, so many hours of fun ahead.

  43. Davy

    I love Mario games, been playing them since I was a kid, but this game has issues. I love the story, and I love the characters, Olivia is awesome.

    But, and a huge BUT, the combat system is repetitive and boring, makes me want to rage quit. Also a lot of filler that is not needed. Like the game show, it’s fine as a side quest, but not apart of the main story.

    But yeah, the combat system get boring fast, real fast. You can’t even flee half the time, you are stuck in it and you die. Not worth your money, it gets frustrating.

  44. mrc5451

    Really fun game that’s expected in The Mario game world

  45. Sidofbme

    Kids love it. My son really like it. He really like the graphics

  46. Michael

    I do dope dances, beat up goombas, and make origami

  47. justink

    Love this game! It has so much content and doesn’t get old as you progress through. Some really fun levels and puzzles

  48. lisalisa2x

    We are obsessed ! My 4year old loves it and it’s fun for the whole family to take turns playing.

  49. Disappointed

    I will never buy another digital download from Best Buy. it took my money instantly, but still no code best buy tells me, “we have to wait for the transaction to settle”. that makes no since I could have went to the store swiped the same card and walked out with the game. no wait there so why would there be a wait for this it should have been an instant transaction. At this rate ill get the games they shipped in the middle of a snow storm before the digital one

  50. Energize

    I enjoy this game. Its pretty advanced for beginner players.
