"Origami Castle" is a theme composed for Paper Mario: The Origami King. The theme makes heavy use of strings, electric guitars, ominous synths, horns, and feminine vocals. A toy piano recites motifs associated with King Olly, such as the main theme and "King Olly, Origami Overlord". This theme serves a similar role to "Black Bowser's Castle" in such a way that the music for its location of the same name does not change when Mario enters a battle, nor does it change when he uses the 1,000-Fold Arms. It also includes a Thinking variant that is not present in the Sound Gallery. The track can be found in the Special section of the Musée Champignon's Sound Gallery.
