A '''Paper Macho Soldier''', or '''Paper Macho''', is a type of enemy appearing in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. They are giant versions of [[Folded Soldiers]] and are the ones responsible for the [[Not-Bottomless Hole]]s. Their name is a portmanteau of ''papier-mâché'' and ''macho''. Unlike the regular Folded Soldiers, Paper Macho Soldiers are battled while remaining in the overworld.

To defeat Paper Macho Soldiers, [[Mario]] must [[hammer]] their weak spot marked with [[King Olly]]'s insignia. If there are no weak spots remaining, a flag with a sad face will appear above it and hammering it anywhere a few more times will defeat it, releasing a lot of confetti. Most Paper Macho Soldiers attack by charging at Mario.

[[Scuffle Island]] is an arena where Mario must battle seven Paper Macho Soldiers in a row.
