Paper Mario: The Origami King is a puzzle-adventure RPG developed by Intelligent Systems, released in 2020 exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Players guide Mario and his companion Olivia across a papercraft world threatened by King Olly, the self-proclaimed Origami King, whose Folded Soldiers have wreaked widespread destruction and imprisoned countless Toads in unusual predicaments. Olivia's paper-folding abilities grant access to the 1,000 Fold Arms technique and other transformations, which serve as key tools for interacting with the environment and freeing captives. Combat takes a tactical, puzzle-oriented form, requiring players to think strategically before engaging enemies — including large, powerful bosses serving under King Olly's command. The game balances exploration, environmental problem-solving, and turn-based battle mechanics within a comedic tone throughout its campaign. Repairing the damage caused by the Folded Soldiers and dismantling the Origami King's forces form the central objectives of the journey.
