He'd deserve it for everything he's done.

Countless kidnappings, always attacking Mario....

Literally stealing her appearance and being more popular with it than she was....

Hey, Bowser is the king of awesome!!!

You're just jealous he can rock that awesome hair. And his cool car.

Speaking of Bowsette, Bowser Jr. getting turned to confetti was nothing compared to having the internet draw porn of his dad. XD

Found another 'oh no he's hot' Olly fan art XD From his character design and personality I imagine he and Olivia are more like kids than anything else.

They are like 2 months old at best.

So has anyone thought of the regular Mario world equivalent of Origami transformation?

Regular Mario World already has transformation mechanics. They eat shrooms or flowers or put on hats.

[up] I mean if we assume both the Paper Mario games and regular Mario games still have the same stories that happened EX imagine Superstar Saga but paperized instead, i'd wonder how Origiami King would be like in the regular Mario verse.

Assuming the Paper Mario book in Paper Jam WAS the paper verse and not just an offshoot that the wiki runs with.

The thing is, Olly isn't a member of some Origami race. He's literally Origami brought to life. So even in "regular" Mario world, he'd still be Origami.

[up] So does that mean a regular verse version of him would origamize people in 3D?

Brrr.

EDIT: When i said Origami King, i meant the entire game, not just our favorite Olly.

Like would Mario use confetti still? And still fight scissors and a pencil box that shoots pencils like missiles? I need to sit down for a bit.

The thing is, Olly's nature and threat is heavily tied to the whole "paper" theme. Trying to create a "regular" version of Olly wouldn't quite work.

The whole reason Origami is so powerful in the game is because it's set in a world made of paper. This is why one of the most dangerous minions Olly has is a giant pair of scissors.

[up] Yeah that's what i've been thinking about, like the first 3 Paper Mario game's plot CAN work in the regular Mario verse but since Olly's gimmick is heavily tied to paper, i'm not sure Origami King can hypothetically be adapted to the regular verse.

Unless they play the whole Origami thing straight on regular people.

Brrr. Again.

The closest would be a Big Bad who makes full use of the transformation mechanics in the regular games...but we've already had that starting with Wario in his debut game.

[up] Maybe puppets instead of Origami?

Like i'm reminded of that courage the cowardly dog episode.

Wait a minute, i think i've thought up the next Paper Mario theme.

I think a giant pair of scissors would be plenty deadly even in a regular Mario game.

Though at least regular Mario would have some means of countering the sharp part like a Super Star or something.

No more dangerous than a Chain Chomp biter, which the game even has as fatal as scissors when being hunted down.

I've been waiting a while.

This is a good com and all, but does this come of as hilarious in hindsight?

With how it actually treats the characters like paper compared to the actual game.

This has a translation and link to a Spanish interview that explains the Paper Mario 'no characters based on existing ones' in way better syntax/detail.

"Kensuke Tanabe: At the moment, it is not possible for us to create original characters like the Goombas or modified Toads seen in past games, or to reuse such characters from past games. However, in this installment we have been able to create the two origami characters Olly and Olivia, and wear outfits for certain Toads when fitting their role. As for the game system, beyond not making it a platform game, everything is in the hands of the development team. However, an internal opinion has emerged as to whether we really need two different Mario RPG series and in order to differentiate them we have created our titles as adventure games."

It might mean we'll get another Mario and Luigi title soon, or some new kind of Mario RPG!

It IS a new statement. And alphadream going under doesn't necessarily mean they consider the franchise to be dead since if they wanted they could find a new dev team.
