Mario and Luigi receive an invitation from Princess Peach to attend an origami festival and excitedly hurry to Toad Town, but something's amiss
After investigating the eerily empty town, the duo finds a fearsome (and folded) Princess Peach - she's been turned into origami by King Olly, ruler of the Origami Kingdom
With five giant streamers under his control, King Olly binds Princess Peach's castle and transports it to a distant mountain as part of his plan to refold the world
On his journey to liberate Peach's castle and repair the ravaged paper landscape, Mario meets Olivia, King Olly's sister, and the two join forces to put a stop to Olly's origami onslaught
Even Bowser falls victim to Olly's plot when his minions are turned into origami Folded Soldiers and betray their Koopa king, forcing him to ally with Mario and Olivia
Battle the Folded Soldiers in ring-based battles that challenge you to strategically line up enemies to maximize damage
Out of battle, Mario can use the arm-extending 1,000-Fold Arms ability in specific spots to interact with the landscape to pull, peel, hit and more. Join Mario, Olivia, and their companions on a journey of laughter and emotion, thrills, and a whole lot of folding

A new paper-crafted Mario adventure unfolds on Nintendo Switch. The kingdom has been ravaged by an origami menace.

Join Mario on an epic paper-adventure to collect the Crystal Stars before the X-Nauts do! The nefarious X-Nauts are after the treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door! With a map from Princess Peach, and the help of a few locals, Mario journeys through a colorful world made of paper to find them first. To prevail in this quest, you’ll have to level up Mario and his friends, master timing-based attacks and badges to impress the audience on the stage of combat, and make use of all the abilities that come with being cursed—er, conveniently made of paper—like folding into a plane to cross big gaps or turning sideways to slip through narrow openings. Leaf through a storybook world with charming characters in every fold. Surprises abound in this deep and engaging tale, where everyone’s got something to say and it’s often not what you’d expect. Mario will meet all kinds of interesting folks on his journey, like the upbeat and studious Goombella and the shy but determined Koops. Some of these characters will need your help with their own quests, or even join your party. Others, like Peach and Bowser, have stories of their own that you’ll play between Mario’s chapters! A classic turns the page, bringing fresh visuals and updated features. Twenty years after the original game on the Nintendo GameCube system, this version for the Nintendo Switch system has revamped graphics, and a suite of additional changes that make the game easier than ever to enjoy.
