I didn't think it was that hard, as you only had to spin 3 rings and the pattern was shown before.

The fact that Olivia always mentions that the vellumental was being folded really makes you wonder how they looked like before. I mean, good for us that they are, we probably wouldnt have to battle them if they werent, which means we would have never got to hear this music. Yeah I know, horrible thought.

[@light_player07]

They probably looked like the statues in their temples/shrines

I think that (I didn't finished the game yet) but Olly would fold them with the pages of their book, you see?

i had almost no problem with the feathers. they were somewhat annoying but [SPOILERS FOR FIRE VELLUMENTAL FIGHT] when Fire releases their feathers, it damages them. i wait until there's too many feathers on the board to wait much longer then do a Water attack. it worked great and got him first try.

This. This is why Origami King’s soundtrack is my new favorite in the series.

[@starberrysparkler]

Yeah, while some the villains are kinda violent in this game, Mario's definitely wayyy more brutal this time around.

[@GamingPerson-yu4ye]

@Filippo Contigiani Yeah, I've seen them. Stapler's is BRUTAL! They all have some violence thrown into them!

[@GamingPerson-yu4ye]

@Filippo Contigiani It was a PEGI 7 in Europe, so that's something. Far from Mario's funniest adventure though!

[@GamingPerson-yu4ye]

@Filippo Contigiani Ehhh, Nintendo can get away with some age ratings because of how they design things I guess. For example, Kamek skins Yoshis alive in Yoshi's Woolly World and we must pick up the spools of our dead friends' yarn in levels, but the art style allows it to not come off as gory.

[@GamingPerson-yu4ye]

@Filippo Contigiani Yeah, it's weird

[@Whirlwhind1]

I was so dumb with the Fire Vellumental fight. I went through an entire Iron boots and nearly covered the entire stage in flaming feathers before I realized I needed to open the chest holding the Water Magic Circle.

[@raphaelforkel7759]

But thats the right way to do it. Shed all the feathers, then water, then quickly hands. I know, because it took me three times to figure that out.

[@Gamblegork]

i almost beat the battle without water magic circle, I'm a dumbass

[@CoraCat13]

You gotta love how Paper Mario's head is bopping to the tune of the godlike Vellumentals' theme right before he charges off through the rings to lay down the smackdown with Olivia by his side. God, this theme is SO damn good! It makes fighting these things SO much more worth my time.

[@BladeShadowWing]

Something I've noticed so far, these Vellumentals seem to based on creatures from Chinese folklore. A turtle, dragon, phoenix, and a bear.

[@thegreenthunder2]

Water, Earth, Fire, Ice Ice Baby! The origami craftsman once told me stories of how the four elements used to live in peace, when balance was kept between the four nations. The Water Shrine, The Earth Temple, The Fire Cave, and The Ice Ice Babies UNTIL EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN KING OLLY ATTACKED Only Olivia, his sister, the origami princess can master all four elements and save the world. But when the world need her most, Olly shoved her teddy bear ass into a wall. Several hours have passed, and Olly has created a massive army full of supplies stolen from The Office. Until Mario discovered her in that damn wall. Her origami skills are great, but she has a lot to learn before she's ready to save anyone. But I believe Olivia can save the world.... Origami, The Last Wholesome-bender (I spent 15 whole minutes making this parody up on the spot lmao, but i couldnt resist given how much of an opening the game gives me with four elements and a dictator and an innocent child mastering elements)
