![]() ![]() The most significant ally is Olivia, Olly’s little sister! Olivia’s attitude and demeanor resemble that of a small child as she gets excited about the simplest of things and clearly struggles with concepts, such as names and understanding what is going on in conversations. Throughout the adventure Mario meets many new allies and makes a momentary peace treaty with old enemies. These first five areas felt too long and could have been shortened for a much more enjoyable adventure, considering the game takes roughly 25 hours to roll credits. You arrive in the new area, realize you must fight a boss that goes along with an element of that area, take on a member of the Legion of Stationery, and destroy the streamer. Unfortunately, after finishing the first two areas, the gameplay and overall path of the areas feels repetitive. The path to get to four of the bosses pay homage to the traditional Zelda style dungeons, forcing you to figure out puzzles and maneuver through obstacles. In some areas, you can manage to walk around on foot without issues however, in others you must use forms of transportation to get around, otherwise you will be there longer than expected. To rescue Peach and return the castle to its rightful spot, Mario must defeat some familiar enemies, such as goombas and koopa troopas that are now in origami form and the Legion of Stationery, to destroy the five streamers that are located in various regions throughout the Mushroom Kingdom.Īs you travel through five areas of the Mushroom Kingdom, ranging from a desert to a wonderful but not so relaxing spa, taking on two bosses per area, you unfold more story and get rid of the streamers to save Princess Peach and the castle, the sixth and final location of the game. Olly manages not only to capture Princess Peach but also her Castle through the use of streamers. The overall story follows the same layout that many other Mario games follow, to save Princess Peach from the evil… Origami King? The first shocker here is that Bowser did not capture the Princess but rather a new antagonist, Olly, the Origami King. However, some of these changes were not beneficial for the overall experience of the game and made the game drag. ![]() This recent release took the series and made significant changes to game play mechanics, from combat to interactive challenges within the various landscapes that you explore. He has even been fortunate enough to celebrate his 35 th birthday this year, which was celebrated by the release of a few throwback items: Super Mario 3-D All Stars collection, the Game and Watch, and a new game in the Paper Mario franchise, Paper Mario: The Origami King. Mario is arguably the most recognizable video game character by all ages. ![]() Paper Mario: The Origami King falls flat from exhaustive mechanics and gameplay. ![]()
