Paper Macho Soldier

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 Holes. Their name is a portmanteau of "paper", "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.
