New ‘Paper Mario’ game coming to Nintendo’s Switch

The Mushroom Kingdom is being threatened by a new origami foe.

“Paper Mario: The Origami King� is headed for the Switch on July 17, Nintendo announced Thursday. The game will see Mario team up with a new partner named Olivia to free Princess Peach’s castle from King Olly and his origami plot.

As shown in the game’s announcement trailer, the new “Paper Mario� game unfolds with familiar characters like Peach and Bowser looking a little bit different. For this installment, Mario has gained a new 1,000-Fold Arms ability to extend his arms so players can interact with the environment and solve puzzles.

There is also a new ring-based battle system that “requires both puzzle-solving skills and a quick wit,� according to the game’s website.

The original “Paper Mario� game was released for the N64. The series titles often are infused with more role-playing and a bit more comedy than the main Mario games. The most recent installment was 2016’s paint-themed “Paper Mario: Color Splash� for the Wii U.
