Folded Soldiers

The Folded Soldiers are King Olly's origami minions and the main enemies in Paper Mario: The Origami King. They were originally flat paper before they were folded into origami and kept that way using staples from Stapler. Most Folded Soldiers in the game were members of the Koopa Troop prior to being folded. Additionally Princess Peach is turned into one of the Folded Soldiers and, early in the game, drops Mario into a dungeon via a trapdoor in her castle after he answers the three questions she asks him. There are also giant versions of the Folded Soldiers called Paper Macho Soldiers.

After Stapler is defeated, the staples binding the Folded Soldiers are destroyed, allowing them to unfold, however, the minions are not completely confirmed to be restored to their original state until after Olivia wishes to the thousandth crane that the origami folded by Olly be undone.
