Reception

Paper Mario: The Origami King is a delightful game with plenty of diverse ideas that falls just shy of greatness.

“Paper Mario: The Origami King is a charming Mario adventure marred by a difficult and tedious battle system.”

The best thing I can say about Paper Mario: The Origami King is that it has some major problems, but the story is great enough and so worth experiencing that it's worth trudging through the negatives to experience it at least once. Like a lot of first-time origami projects, it starts rough, but it's worth seeing through to the end.

As a longtime fan of the series, Paper Mario: The Origami King has its trademark humor and charm, but misses its appealing RPG gameplay.

Paper Mario: The Origami King is a wonderful new entry that helps sell the idea that trying new things was the right move.
