[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] drive to [[Toad Town]] for the Origami Festival after being invited by [[Princess Peach]]. The brothers arrive to discover the town and [[Peach's Castle]] are deserted. Upon entering the castle, they are locked inside and split up, Luigi heading to search for the castle key and Mario heading into the castle foyer. Peach enters the foyer, having been folded into origami, and drops Mario into a dungeon where several of [[Bowser]]'s minions are being held. Mario discovers a [[Magic Circle]] and initiates the [[1,000-Fold Arms]] technique, using them to free an origami girl named [[Olivia]]. After escaping their cell, Mario and Olivia free Bowser, who was square-folded, restricting his mobility.

After escaping their cell, Mario and Olivia free Bowser, who was square-folded, restricting his mobility.


Escaping to the upper terrace of Peach's Castle, Mario is attacked by a group of Bowser's Minions turned into origami, known as [[Folded Soldiers]]. After defeating the minions, the leader of the origami reveals himself as Olivia's older brother, [[King Olly]]. He summons five streamers from across the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to wrap around Peach's Castle and rip it out of the ground. Mario, Olivia, and Bowser escape the castle in a [[Koopa Clown Car]] piloted by a [[Shy Guy]], but are quickly knocked out of the Clown Car by the red streamer. Bowser is saved by the Shy Guy, while Mario and Olivia fall into a nearby forest. Olly sets Peach's Castle down atop the peak of a far-off volcano.

Returning the Toad Town, Mario and Olivia find Captain T. Ode, who reclaims ownership of his own submarine. The sub is attached to Sea Captain Toad's ship, and T. Ode, Mario, and Olivia head out into the Great Sea. After clearing the thick fog that covers the sea, they discover the source of the purple streamer at the [[Sea Tower]], but are unable to enter without the three orbs located in [[Diamond Island]]. They travel between many islands, eventually meeting up with Luigi on [[Mushroom Island]], who holds the key to Diamond Island. The brothers decide to find the island's resident and free the [[Origami Craftsman]] from the walls of his workshop. The craftsman reveals he created King Olly for the Origami Festival using the forbidden Fold of Life. Olly turned on his creator and set out to fold the world in his image, using the Origami Craftsman's notes to fold Olivia. The craftsman shares a set of notes with Olivia before she head back to the ship with Mario.

Mario and Olivia use the key Luigi obtained to access the submerged Diamond Island, where three temples stand, housing the Trials of Power, Wisdom, and Courage; and the nearby [[Ice Vellumental Mountain]]. The duo must travel up the mountain and defeat the [[Ice Vellumental]] at its peak. After defeating the final Vellumental, Olivia gains the ability to fold into it and utilize its ice powers to access the Trials of Wisdom and Courage. After completing all three trials, Mario and Olivia turn to the Sea Tower and climb up to its peak. At the top, they face off against [[Tape (boss)|Tape]], and upon the stationary's defeat, Mario destroys the purple streamer.

Mario and Olivia notice the green streamer peaking out from above the clouds. A mysterious light appears on top of the Sea Tower, and stepping into it transports them to [[Shangri-Spa]], where [[Bowser's Castle]] had crash-landed. The duo meets up with [[Kamek]], who is unable to return to the castle due to the folded [[Boss Sumo Bro]] guarding the entrance. [[Bowser Jr.]] flies in, who's [[Junior Clown Car]] would allow access to Boss Sumo Bro, but is shredded by another one of Olly's generals: [[Scissors (boss)|Scissors]]. Kamek reluctantly joins up with Mario and Olivia, and the group travels to four of the spa's springs in order to revive Jr. However, when Jr. soaks in the [[Spring of Jungle Mist]] for too long, he ends up losing his color. The group travels to the [[Spring of Rainbows]], which involves winning the game show [[Shy Guys Finish Last]]. The spring restores Bowser Jr.'s color, allowing him to take Mario up to Boss Sumo Bro. The boss is defeated, allowing the group and all of Bowser's minion access to Bowser's Castle again.

Bowser's minions start a large clash with the Folded Soldiers, while Mario, Olivia, and Kamek search for the key to the throne room, which Kamek believes to be in his quarters. Along the way, Kamek disappears, but Mario is able to find the castle key in the hands of Luigi, who once again mistook it for the key to Peach's Castle. Soon after, Olivia is snatched by a shadowy hand and all of Bowser's minions disappear as well. On the way to the throne room, Mario battles [[Big Cutout Soldier|Big]] and [[Li'l Cutout Soldier]]s, until reaching the creature that captured Olivia, the [[Handaconda]], whom Mario defeats in a game of {{wp|rock paper scissors}}. In the following room, the duo finds the cut-up remains of Bowser's minions. They then face off against the [[Paper Mistake Buzzy Beetle]], created by Scissors, before fighting Scissors itself. After defeating both bosses, Mario is able to revive Bowser's minions, free Bowser, and destroy the green streamer.

''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the expansive overworld, graphics, writing, and plot, but criticized the battling system, despite its innovation, for being tedious and unrewarding.
''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the expansive overworld, graphics, writing, and plot, though its combat system received mixed reactions, being praised for its innovation but criticized for being tedious and unrewarding. While considered an improvement over ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star|Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash|Color Splash]]'', it was also criticized for many of the same reasons as its predecessors: lack of originality, the absence of traditional RPG elements, and little incentive on combat.
