On June 12, 2020, Nintendo released an introductory video for "Paper Mario Origami King.
The video details the new adventures of Mario, the main character of "Paper Mario Origami King," his friends, and the new battle system.
Here is a brief summary of the features introduced in the 5-minute video!

New Adventures, Friends, and Battles of Flapper Mario

The story of this title follows the adventures of the main character Mario as he travels through a variety of areas in pursuit of the five-colored Kamitape that leads to Peach Castle, which was carried off to a distant mountain by his enemy, King Ollie.

Mario and his friends will face a variety of challenges along the way, such as whitewater rafting, jumping onto the stage, and aerial combat.

Quirky friends

Mario's companion in his adventures is Olivia, the sister of King Ollie.
Although she is a bit carefree, she is a reliable companion who helps Mario in various situations.
In addition to "Olivia," Mario also works with "Bomb Hey," "Kamek," and "Bowser Jr." from Mario's rival Koopa's army.
Mario will also meet and say goodbye to various other friends along the way, and some of them will also play an active role in battles.

Turn and Shift for 360° Battles!

The battle system in this title differs greatly from that of the previous "Paper Mario" series.
Enemies are battled on a ring-shaped stage.
The player rotates and slides the ring to rearrange the enemies, selects a weapon, and attacks the enemy.
In addition to the conventional system of increasing damage by pressing buttons at the right time, the heart of the battle in this title is to line up the enemies neatly within the time limit.

Connect your routes! Boss battles!

Huge stationery bosses await you in each area you can explore.
Boss battles differ from normal battles in that the key to success is to connect Mario's " route " by rotating and sliding the rings as described earlier.
Create your own route to the boss by skillfully arranging the arrow stones and action panels drawn on the rings.

There are many challenging elements!

In this world, Kinopio and his friends, who have been transformed by King Ollie, are hidden here and there.
If you find and save them, something good will happen to you.

Nintendo

Finding Kinopio and his friends is not the only challenging part of the game.
