* In the shift to highlighting the "paper" aesthetic in the series, it's been demonstrated that (matted) paper is equivalent to a regular body, whereas [[MadeOfIndestructium cardboard]] is used to indicate something incredibly durable or powerful — usually the landscape, an obstacle, or a Final Boss's OneWingedAngel mode. Fittingly, Paper Mario's [[DropTheHammer iconic mallet]] is now permanently portrayed as a three-dimensional cardboard construct.

* While the game tries to posit that Olly is being too hard on the Toads even before his full plan is revealed, it falters a bit due to some Toads, to put it simply, [[Main/DoubleStandard not being held to the same standards Olly is]], making it seem as though the game’s narrative is bending backwards for the Toads and inadvertently proving part of Olly’s grudge, though not justifying his end goal.
** The most egregious one is the Toad who owns the Foodeatery in Whispering Woods. He is the one responsible for having the local area deforested and converting the sentient trees into different shapes like logs and a cabin, the same way Olly converts the captured Mushroom Kingdom citizens into the Folded and other shapes. This is never brought up by anyone including Olly, and the player is never given the chance to enlighten [[KarmaHoudini this Toad]] on the full scale of his deeds in any way.
** The Shangri-Spa Toads get off way too easy for their own misdeeds. While Bowser’s Castle does fall in Shangri-Spa, that was actually caused by Olly’s forces, but only Bowser’s minions are punished, with the Folded just lounging around and weirdly not trying to capture the Shangri-Spa Toads. The lead Toad alone tacks on fees to Kamek just to be a jerk, while the rest supervise. However, the minions never really fight back in a meaningful way despite usually being invasive in most appearances (including the Paper Mario game before this), they never retaliate- not even a walk-by punch or mean comment when Kamek summons them- and it’s never explained how the Shangri-Spa Toads were enforcing the minions’ unwilling servitude (which is what Olly is also doing via the folding process) in the first place. In addition, despite how protective Bowser usually is of his forces, he never brings up any possible payback on these specific Toads either (making his total defense of the Toads before fighting King Olly even more out of character for him), and it’s Bowser’s own minions who fix his castle in the credits, rather than the minions turning the tables on the Shangri-Spa Toads. The worst the Shangri-Spa Toads suffer is watching Bowser and his minions bathe in one of the springs, which isn’t really all that bad for them. Their poor treatment of the minions is PlayedForLaughs mostly.
** Though it is important to note that most Toads are innocent and some are even the victims of the establishment, the Toad who runs the shop mentioned to be working 18-hour days to support himself and several of the employee Toads in Shogun Studios working in poor conditions with NoOSHACompliance.

Adding a hidden Zelda reference

* The first three Vellumental battles are [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda green, blue and red]]. The earth vellumental (green one) is built up as this impossible to beat god, and the path to reach is has a lot of fire and spikes, meaning Mario would have to be courageous to find and fight it. The Water Vellumental's (blue one) shrine has sliding puzzles to open up the path to it, and the boss gimmick is that it summons water spouts that wash away tiles in their path, meaning that you would need to be smart to win. The Fire Vellumental's (red one) cave has lots of fire, with each room involving fire into it's puzzles, then the rings will be covered in fiery feathers, meaning Mario would either have to be very strong to survive, or be both courageous and wise to avoid getting hit.

* It seems like in this game, turning into confetti is the equivalent of getting your body shredded into pieces. Enemies that you defeat turn into confetti when you defeat them, which effectively means all of the folded soldiers that you defeat in battle are KilledOffForReal. Even if defeating Stapler and undoing Olly's work changes everyone back to normal by unfolding them, all of the enemies that you've stomped have no such hope. They're ''dead'', not even having a chance to [[DyingAsYourself die as themselves]].

* Mario is confronted with Scissors, a ManOfKryptonite with a one hit kill attack. Scissors is also an arrogant overconfident fighter and decides to give an advantage to Mario, but then they discover that Mario is way stronger than they thought. Scissors decides to use their one hit kill attack, but Mario just jumps over it. The question then is, why Mario didn't do that before? Because, he's the one giving advantage to everyone else! (And that's why he doesn't win any more levels)

* A lot of ''Mario'' species that were once seen in paper forms in past games only appear as origami enemies in this game, such as Boomerang Bros, Snow Spikes, and Pirhana Plants. It's probably because Olly already got his hands on most of them by the time you see any. In fact, most of Bowser's paper minions are found in shockingly short order in Shangri-Spa and Bowser's Castle.

Proper grammar is "by accident" or "on purpose." Not the other way around.

* Kamek explains that shortly after the Shy Guy rescued Bowser, Mario, and Olivia at the beginning (which led to Mario and Olivia getting knocked off), the castle was overtaken and a lot of them were either captured (with Bowser being placed on a clothespin again), escaped, or were forced into servitude at Shangri-Spa (for the castle wrecking the place on accident). Imagine if Mario and Olivia hadn't fallen — they would've been faring a lot worse.

* The Handaconda fight involves a RockPaperScissors fight. One way of defeating it is using the 1000-fold arms attack, in which Mario curls his hands into fists and hammers the Handaconda. Mario beats it because he uses his fists, which are rock solid, to beat the paper origami monster. Rock still beats paper.
