“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.”

Mario will have access to a new ability called ‘1000 fold-arms’ which will allow him to pull, peel and reveal new locations and secrets hidden in the world.

In the journey, you’ll get help from old and new allies including King silly’s daughter, Olivia who sounds they’ll join your adventure early in the game.

The game features a combat system that’s been described as a “ring-based battle system.” You’ll have to use puzzle-solving skills to line up enemies to maximise damage or feel their wraith as they attack you the longer you take to end the battle.

Paper Mario: The Origami King is available for pre-load already ahead of its July 17th release date.
